NPR News will provide live, anchored coverage of National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice's testimony before the 9-11 Commission. NPR Senior National Correspondent Linda Wertheimer will anchor our coverage. Mary Louise Kelly, who covers the intelligence beat for NPR will join her. NPR's coverage will have a hard start of 9:00 AM ET and will conclude at the end of the session with Ms. Rice, which will be around 11:30 AM ET. The 8pm rebroadcast of The Exchange will be a re-airing of "Why Not?". We've all had those "why not" ideas. "We have caffeinated water, why not caffeinated Beer?" Or "we have black boxes in airplane, why not have them in cars". Our guests show you that "why not" ideas are more than just wishful thinking or left for the experts; that if approached the right way, almost anyone can turn a "why not" into reality. Mike's guests are authors Barry Nalebuff, Milton Steinbach Professor of Economics at Yale School of Management and Ian Ayres, William K. Townsend Professor of Law at Yale Law School. *THIS IS A REBROADCAST SO NO NEW CALLS WILL BE TAKEN* listen:
