Happy Now?
We talk politics with NPR's Juan Williams--who takes the temperature of the Obama campaign--as well as Newt Gingrich, who'll also discuss his novelization of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Also: the author of The Happiness Myth on what that period of mourning after Princess Diana's death and the Gay Pride Parade have in common, taking the "Food Stamp Challenge"; and the next in our series of Anything But the Car: Pedicabs.
Inside the Beltway
Juan Williams, senior correspondent for National Public Radio and author, Enough: The Phony Leaders, Dead-End Movements, and Culture of Failure That Are Undermining Black America--and What We Can Do About It (Crown, 2006), talks about whether Barack Obama has staying power and other news from Washington.
Reasons to be Cheerful
Jennifer Michael Hecht,
author of
The Happiness Myth: Why What We Think is Right is Wrong
(Harper San Francisco, 2007), says our modern-day assumptions about happiness are nonsense.

Queens City Councilman Eric Gioia (D) and Joel Berg, the executive director of the Coalition Against Hunger, talk about taking the “Food Stamp Challenge”-- trying to live on the average allocation of $28 a week, to call attention to the issue of hunger in New York City.
The Day After
Former Speaker of the House of Representatives (R-GA) and novelist Newt Gingrich, talks about his new book Pearl Harbor: A Novel of December 8th, Book One of the Pacific War Series, (Thomas Dunne 2007), and the state of the Republican party.
