Truth-telling in Political Campaigns

Jacquelyn Olds and Schwartz:"Marriage in Motion"

Monday

Diane Rehm

Vice President Al Gore has been sharply rebuked by his opponents for

misstating the truth. Whether mistakes or lies, these missteps have

become a focal point for Bush supporters. But some observers say that

Bush's public misstatements have much more serious implications for

his presidency. A panel talks about "truth" in campaigns and the

long-standing tradition in politics of exaggerating, equivocating, and

other forms of stretching the truth.

GUESTS

Psychiatrists Jacquelyn Olds and Schwartz have been married to

each other for more than twenty years. As they've observed in their

own life together as well as in their clinical experience, a long-term

relationship goes through many ups and downs over the years. They

examine the natural ebb and flow of lasting relationships in their new

book.

abdominal surgery on a voluntary basis. The procedure, known as

"bariatric surgery," reconfigures a patient's stomach and small

panel of guests talks about determining who are appropriate candidates

for the surgery, and the risks and benefits most patients experience. GUESTS

Abandoned Babies

Open Phones

Thursday

Diane Rehm

Several states have passed "baby Moses" laws, creating safe havens for newborn babies whose mothers desperately want to give them up, and who might otherwise resort to abandoning them.

A panel talks about the phenomenon of abandoned babies.

land School of Social Work
