NPR's All Thing's Considered

Escobar's Son Seeks Atonement For Father's Sins

Pablo Escobar was once the world's most wanted man, directing an empire of drugs and murder as leader of Colombia's Medellin cocaine cartel. Sixteen years after his death, his victims' families haven't forgotten about him. Nor has Escobar's only son, whose story is told in a new documentary.

Dairy Groups Fight To Keep Chocolate Milk On Menu

Chocolate milk has been kicked off the lunch menu at schools across the country. The dairy industry says that even though it contains more sugar than white milk, it's more nutritious than soda or other drink options. But healthy-lunch activists aren't so sure.

U.S. Diplomacy Makes A Call To Tech Support

The State Department's new adviser on innovation is looking to apply tech-world solutions to global problems. Some of the initiatives: Encouraging Mexicans to use text messaging to report drug violence and finding better ways to protect cellular phone networks in Afghanistan.

U.S. In $3B Settlement With American Indians

The U.S. Justice Department announced Tuesday a $3 billion settlement with Indian tribes. This marks the end of a 13-year lawsuit brought against the government by Indian tribes over billions of dollars in valuable land and oil royalties.

Obama Lays Out Plan To Spur Jobs

President Obama said the country must spend its way out of the recession and create new incentives for hiring. The remarks came in an economic policy speech at the Brookings Institution.

High Court Skeptical Of Anti-Fraud Law

The U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments Tuesday in a case that tests the constitutionality of a federal anti-corruption law that makes it a crime to deprive shareholders of honest services. The law has been used to prosecute public officials and corporate executives. Opponents argue that the law is too broad.

Letters: Zou Zou, Miles Davis

Michele Norris and Robert Siegel update a story reported Monday, on safety concerns about the must-have toy of the 2009 holiday season. They also correctly identify the composer of the jazz piece Nefertiti.

How Consumers Can Affect Climate Change

Changes in the way Americans drive, the appliances we use, and how much we recycle can lead to a significant reduction in carbon emissions, says the co-author of an article published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Michael Vanderberg says change can be significant even if not everyone takes part.

McChrystal Expresses Confidence In Afghan Plan

Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, told Congress Tuesday that he's confident he now has both the strategy and resources he needs in Afghanistan. Ambassador Karl Eikenberry, initially wary of a troop increase coming before a crackdown on corruption, said he's satisfied that Afghan President Hamid Karzai has expressed the right intentions.

Plaintiff In Indian Case On Settlement

The federal government announced Tuesday a $3.4 billion settlement with Indian trust account holders after more than a century of mismanaging their money. Elouise Cobell, a lead plaintiff in the long-running lawsuit Cobell v. Salazar, says the settlement means a lot to her, but more for American Indians who have waited a long time for justice.
