Today’s world is one fraught with complexity. And in order to understand it, and have an impact on it, we’re sometimes best served by stepping back, getting a sense of the whole and perhaps enlisting the guidance of others familiar with the challenge.
    Joining us today to hopefully lend some clarity to one of the more vexing issues of our age--the Israel/Palestine conflict—is Eve Spangler, professor of sociology at Boston College and a human and civil rights activist whose work over the past decade has focused on the Israel/Palestine conflict. She is also most recently the author of the book, Understanding Israel/Palestine: Race, Nation and Human Rights in the Conflict.  This is an extended version of a previous segment: news.acmi.tv/segments/israelpalestine/

The Children's room is an invaluable resource in Arlington for grieving families and children, and APN was there to talk with the education director Deborah Rivlin. We spoke about how to deal with trauma in ours and our children's lives.

The Children's Room - Extended

After some significant debate, our founding fathers thought it wise to amend the Constitution they were drafting back in 1789 with a collection of guarantees meant to safeguard our political freedoms. They called it the Bill of Rights, and hoped it would secure our freedom of religion, of speech, of assembly, amongst important others. What it left out, however, was any provision meant to secure our economic freedom.

	Joining us today from his home in San Jose, California, to discuss this idea is Scott Myers-Lipton. Dr. Myers-Lipton is a professor of sociology at San Jose State University and the author of Ending Extreme Inequality: An Economic Bill of Rights to Eliminate Poverty.
