Product Description
Today at the White House, the deadlocked budget negotiations continue between the Administration and the Republican leadership in the Senate and the House. Here to comment on when Americans can expect an end to the budget crsis and how it will ultimately be brought about are Congressman Joe Scarborough, a freshman Republican from Florida, and Norm Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute. Then, British actor Sir Ian McKellan on his role in Shakespeare's Richard III. The role one that McKellen first played in 1991 and he revives it for the film adaptation which is set in 1930's Europe. Next, there is debate over the current state of Russia. The election in December was a disappointment to supporters of democratic reform with the return of the Communist party. On the other hand, many in the west still think that reformers did well in the elections, and that Russia is on the verge of economic recovery. Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor of The Nation magazine, and Stephen Cohen, professor of Russian Studies at Princeton University, have just returned from two weeks in Russia. They share their thoughts. Finally, Michael Isikoff of Newsweek gives the latest update on the Travelgate scandal.
