ArchivesDodd: Drug Companies and Relations With Latin AmericaBy Jon Greenberg on Monday, August 13, 2007.Connecticut Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Christopher Dodd just wrapped up a four-day visit to the state.

It was also seen as a hit to Iowa who will likely have to have their “First in the Nation†Caucus the December holidays. Add to that a no-show of Rudy Giuliani and John McCain at the Republican Straw Poll in Iowa over the weekend, a general campaigning trend of large rallies over retail politics and many other states trying to move their primaries and caucus closer to the beginning. We’ll look at how the presidential primary is becoming more “nationalized†and how recent events may help or hurt campaigning in the Granite and Hawkeye states. Guests

In Heaven...By Liz Bulkley on Monday, August 13, 2007.One of the most enduring questions of the human experience is: What will happen to us after we die? Putting aside pop-culture images of the pearly gates, it's one of the most difficult questions to comprehend. That's why the Reverend Roger Ferlo of the Virginia Theological Seminary asked two dozen writers and scholars to share their ideas of Heaven with him. He's collected their essays in a new book that tries to find answers in ambiguity. We'll speak with Dr. Ferlo about his new book, Heaven, and why some of the most faithful Christians still struggle finding a concrete idea of the afterlife. listen:
