12:00 amBill Moyers Journal[#1233]
As Americans gather to give thanks this week, food - quality, quantity, cost - remains a national issue. BMJ takes a hard look at how America's food policies - trade rules, farm subsidies, and regulation - affect larger issues including global warming, healthcare, and even homeland security. Bill Moyers sits down with Michael Pollan, Knight Professor of Journalism at UC Berkeley, to discuss what directions the US should pursue in the often-overlooked question of food policy. Pollan is author of In Defense of Food: an Eater's Manifesto.

2:00 amRape of Europa
For 12 long years, the Nazis looted and destroyed art on a scale unprecedented in history, but heroic young art historians and curators from America and across Europe fought back to rescue and return millions of lost, hidden and stolen treasures. The legacy of this tragic history continues to play out today as families recover looted works of art, and nations fight over the ill-gotten spoils of war. Narrated by Joan Allen.

The Atom Smashers
A group of obsessed American physicists leads the international search for the Higgs Boson -- a particle so important to the understanding of how the universe is held together that it has been dubbed the "god particle" and the "holy grail" of physics. Using an aging machine and facing a government and culture often at odds with science, the physicists race against a far more powerful European accelerator that threatens to upstage both them and the entire U.S. science program. Will they find the Higgs in time?

Boomtown
Boomtown is a lively visit to the Suquamish Nation, near Seattle, where selling fireworks has become a tradition for some Suquamish tribal members. For 30 years, this part of Indian country has sold fireworks that are officially banned off the reservation, attracting non-Indian buyers from near and far. On July 4th, the Suquamish tribe plays host to one of the most enjoyable and unpredictable fireworks shows around. In a place where federal, state and local policies routinely collide with Native sovereignty, Boomtown focuses on this animated enterprise, offering a special glimpse into contemporary Indian life, where Native tradition meets today's economic realities with uniquely successful results.

World Hunger and US Aid/US Hispanic Catholics/HIV Ministry
* World Hunger and US Aid - As a result of rising food prices, the number of people living in poverty has increased by 100 million in the last two years. This week, Bread for the World Institute released its annual report analyzing the progress that has been made in reducing hunger and poverty worldwide. Revealing a worsening global hunger crisis, the report calls on the new Congress and president-elect Barack Obama to rework U.S. foreign assistance to make it more effective. Kim Lawton is joined by Bread for the World President David Beckmann for a studio discussion focusing on the global food crisis and what reforms the U.S. needs to make to provide adequate help to developing countries.
* US Hispanic Catholics - The largest, youngest and fastest growing Catholic population in the United States is Latino. Although estimates vary, the percentage of Hispanic American Catholics is thought to range from one-third to 40 percent. And, because some Hispanics don't register in their parishes - the undocumented for example - some say the figure may be as high as 50 percent. With such growing numbers and intensity of expression, what do Hispanics bring to the American Catholic Church? Judy Valente explores how American Hispanics are changing the face of the U.S. Catholic Church. (Rebroadcast from Show #1119, January 11, 2008)
* HIV Ministry - Kathi Winter, a busy executive in the travel industry and an evangelical Christian, contracted AIDS more than 10 years ago. Newly divorced and lonely, she had become involved with the evangelical leader of a ministry serving the homeless who was HIV positive and did not tell her of his condition. After testing positive for the disease herself, Winter went through a period of soul searching and spiritual struggle that eventually helped her forgive and inspired a new life mission. Currently, she actively works to raise awareness about AIDS - especially in churches -through her ministry BEHIV (Believing Education for HIV), and outreach efforts overseas to places such as China and Africa where she focuses on educating women affected by the disease. Kim Lawton talks with Winter about her HIV ministry. (Rebroadcast from Show # 1107, October 19, 2007)
