Here and Now for Monday, July 21, 2008
Osama Bin Laden's former driver has entered a plea of not guilty to war-crimes charges in the first trial at Guantanamo Bay. Jury selection selection is the next step in the case of Salim Hamdan (sah-LEEM' hahm-DAHN'). Meanwhile, U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey is calling on Congress to figure out how to give Guantanamo Bay terror detainees their day in U.S. civilian courts. Mukasey says last month's Supreme Court ruling that gave foreign suspects the right to challenge their detention leaves significant questions unanswered. We speak to with Evan Perez who covers the Justice Department for the Wall Street Journal.

Martin Wood - John Fowler and the English Country House Style
The English country house style was largely created and promulgated by interior decorator John Fowler and his later partner Nancy Lancaster. During the course of his career, Fowler was responsible for transforming some of Britain's important historic interiors, including more than 20 National Trust properties such as Sudbury Hall, as well as private residences such as Chequers and Buckingham Palace. In 1938 he founded Colefax and Fowler with the designer Lady Sibyl Colefax. Fowler sought to create visually successful rooms, rather than to replicate earlier interiors, but his guiding philosophy was always to 'do right by the house'. Although he was aware of historically accurate decoration, and indeed can be considered a pioneer in the early field of preservation, Fowler often altered the colors or added non-historic details to make a visually coherent composition for the visitor. Using research from his recently published monograph on John Fowler, author Martin Wood sketches Fowler's career from his early work to the last major country house he decorated, showing the development of his style and taste. Martin Wood is a textile and garden designer and interior decorator. He has written extensively on garden design and is co-author of Gertrude Jekyll at Munstead Wood, Nancy Lancaster: English Country House Style, and most recently, John Fowler: Prince of Decorators. He has led exclusive travel programs to Nancy Lancaster's English properties for The Institute of Classical Architecture. Visit us at www.wgbh.org/forum to explore our entire collection of lectures.

Here and Now for Thursday, May 8, 2008
Iraqi soldiers are warning residents to leave the embattled Baghdad neighborhood of Sadr City, ahead of what might be a larger offensive by US and Iraqi forces against Shiite militiamen. We speak with Tina Susman, Baghdad bureau chief for the Los Angeles Times. Slavery did not end with the end of the Civil War. In fact it went on in a different form until World War II. Free blacks were arrested on trumped up charges all across the south and were leased to landowners and industries. They were often forced to work in coal mines or lumber mills under horrific conditions. Douglas Blackmon uncovers this history in in his new book "Slavery By Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II." The farm bill, funding for the war in Iraq and more. We speak with Gail Chaddock, Capitol Hill correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor. Almost half of all women who leave the workforce to have children never return. But they would if they could f
