Listen to "On again, off again: Troy Davis...and war and its effects of people and land"
After 20 years on Georgia's death row and several stays of execution Troy Davis has one more week of life. Or does he? The justice system has refused his appeals and set his execution date four times. Is the fourth time the last?
Veterans tell their stories and the Veterans Health Research Institute advises troops and their families on how to welcome home a loved one from the wars. Then, the Presidio in San Francisco, a former military base, is now the Presidio Trust, a mixed use federal land trust with unique and imaginative ways of transforming what was once a nerve center for war into a nerve center for innovation and people-centered communities.

Superfund Sites, Brownfields...and the People who Must Live upon Them
Listen to "Superfund Sites, Brownfields...and the People who Must Live upon Them "
Superfund sites clean up into brownfields...then communities go about their business upon them, families live in the houses built upon them...and, not infrequently, cancers, birth defects, nose bleeds, skin rashes, and other diseases follow.
Irma Anderson lives in Midway Village, California, and has a history of health problems. Ladonna Williams lived there too and saw the two-headed frogs the children brought home when they unknowingly played on contaminated land. For decades both women have tried to get elected officials hear what they're saying: the land remains dangerously contaminated.
Marie Harrison of GreenAction reviews the many issues she and other members of her Hunters Point/Bay View neighborhood face as that former military base and Superfund site transitions to a Brownfield.

Dahr Jamail's update from the Gulf; Ariel Luckey's explores America's violent history
Listen to "Dahr Jamail's update from the Gulf; Ariel Luckey's explores America's violent history"
Another update from the Gulf of Mexico's disaster zone with independent journalist Dahr Jamail, this time from Alabama. Has 'the cap' really capped the flow from 5000 feet below the surface? Or, does the low pressure signify other, more insidious leaks that we may not know about? Can we trust BP or the president to tell us if there are more leaks?
We talk with performance artist Ariel Luckey whose piece, Free Land, explores the underbelly of American history and Manifest Destiny. Ariel Luckey is one of the few white men in American who grapples with the reality that he and his family, like most of the white population in the United States today, derives privilege from a very violent past. He says, "It is about truth...and moving on from a history that most prefer to ignore...."
