Air Scare!

« previous episode | next episode »

Wednesday, August 27, 2003

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and Acting EPA Administrator Marianne Lamont Horinko respond to a report that says the White House gave the all-clear on Manhattan air quality too soon after the September 11th attacks. Read the report from the EPA's Inspector General on the EPA's actions in the wake of the collapse of the World Trade Center. And—two small movies seem to be making it big on the critics' favorites list. "Thirteen" charts the travails of a Californian teenage rebel and her mother. And "American Splendor," depicts the life story of comic writer Harvey Pekar. Entertainment Weekly's Owen Gleiberman gives the lowdown. Also, since the Food and Drug Administration forced companies to display trans fat content on labels earlier this year, we look at ways to banish such foods from your pantry.
