This week on NOW....

The government says mammograms are a safe and effective test for breast

cancer... but what if your doctor can't spot the tumor? A year-long

investigation by The New York Times, published this week, found that many of

the 20,000 doctors who read mammograms lack the necessary skills for the job.

NOW presents this report, prepared by Times correspondent Lowell Bergman,

reporter Moss and producer Rummel. Radiological Health

Physicist Tricia Edgerton says, " This is life and death, for many women. "

Then, we look at a new media campaign aimed at convincing evangelical

Christians across America to support Israel's policies. Bill Moyers

interviews the two men who have founded Stand for Israel: Yechiel Eckstein, a

fourth generation Rabbi and President of the International Fellowship of

Christians and Jews; and long-time Republican activist Ralph , former

head of the Christian Coalition and current chairman of the Georgia

Republican party. tells Moyers, " ...today Jews and Christians, and yes,

liberal and conservative Christians, can come together on an issue that binds

them. Why be divided when there is an issue of such crisis proportions that

we can come together and unite on? "

Washington, DC is now disappearing into a swamp of secrecy - the bill for the

creation of the proposed Department of Homeland Security calls for the

Department alone to decide what information the public has a right to know.

And... the Department will be exempted from the Freedom of Information Act.

It's a pattern with a long history, as producer Sherry presents in a

rebroadcast of a NOW segment. Blanton, Executive Director of the

National Security Archive says, " The people's right to know is on the run

right now. "
