The latest from Pakistan where it appears the country's election commission is going to delay next week's elections in the aftermath of the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. We speak with Jonathan Landay, a reporter for McClatchey Newspapers in Karachi, Pakistan. Cathryn Jakobsen Ramin was a hard-hitting journalist whose memory began slipping in her 40's. She turned herself into a human guinea pig embarking on a three-year journey that took her to sleep clinics, neuropsychologists and other medical experts. She chronicles her attempts to uncover the source of her memory loss in her book: "Carved in Sand: When Attention Fails and Memory Fades in Midlife." Iowans supporting Democratic presidential candidates won't just show up at a polling place this Thursday and use a voting machine to cast their vote. They stand in corners for candidates, there's a crazy math equation to determine how much support a candidate has; then caucus-goers may choose to stand in anot

The New York Times reports today at least four top White House lawyers participated in discussions about whether to destroy videotapes that showed interrogations of detainees. The White House responded saying that The Times' inference that the Bush Administration tried to mislead the public in this matter is 'pernicious and troubling.' We'll speak to Mark Mazzetti of the New York Times; and we'll hear from Richard Wollfe of Newsweek about tomorrow's hearing before US District Judge Henry Kennedy. There is word today that FARC, the leftist insurgent group, will release three hostages. They are still holding more than 700 people captive -- including a presidential candidate and her running mate, and the child that was born to that running mate while in captivity.

With Congress about to break for Thanksgiving, we'll check on crucial pending legislation, including war funding, The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, Farm Bill, and Alternative Minimum Tax. Gail Chaddock of The Christian Science Monitor is our guest. Scape-goating pervades our literature, criminal courts, religion, and politics. It's misplaced aggression, and chances are we've all done it. David P. Barash, professor of psychology at University of Washington, says that taking out anger on others may be biologically good for us, but it doesn't mean we should continue to do it. Two new presidential campaign polls this week show former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has now pulled neck-and-neck in Iowa with the better-financed and better-organized Mitt Romney. We speak with an Iowa voter, who is a Christian and he's home-schooling his children. And he says many people in his circle are backing Huckabee, and they're a political force to be reckoned with.

The Harold Bloom Tapes (Part 3)
In the summer of 2003, around the bicentennial of Ralph Waldo Emerson's birth, I spent an afternoon with the Sage of New Haven, Professor Harold Bloom of Yale, in conversation around the Sage of Concord. Bloom had been a critical figure in the revival of interest in Emerson, the "father of the American Religion," Bloom has called him. But what also emerges here, with some gentle prodding from your humble interviewer, is that Bloom's attachment to Emerson is vitally and intimately personal. Bloom discovered the power of the bond in what he says was the most severe depression of his life -- a period in his mid-late thirties in the mid-late Sixties, when he read and reread Emerson's essays and especially his journals, with the avidity for which Bloom is famous. What he discovered was that Emerson spoke with Bloom's own inner voice, as "the god within," he said. These conversations are, among other things, a lesson in how to take a magisterial writer to heart, as a contemporary and something more than a best friend.
