The various candidates have not made any sweeping proposals with regards to urban policy, but WNYC’s Andrea Bernstein has looked closely at their opinions nevertheless. She reports on her findings. Plus, our “How Do They Do It?” series continues with a look at how other cities try to be environmentally friendly. And, Jimmy Carter has met with Hamas - we get an update and reflect on the implications of the historic visit. Also John Dean and Barry Goldwater, Jr. on conservatism today.

Urban Policy on the Campaign Trail
While democratic candidates hash out the big issues in attempts to distinguish themselves, urban policy is a vital issue that has been largely scooted to the peripheries of campaign talk. WNYC's political director Andrea Bernstein discusses why candidates should give this metropolitan issue more weight.
Talking Personal Diplomacy
Jimmy Carter's visit with Hamas is causing quite a stir. We get the latest news and analysis from Ethan Bronner, Jerusalem bureau chief for the New York Times.
Hear excerpts from Ethan Bronner’s Interview with Jimmy Carter at the NYT Website.
