5 Minutes, 5 Questions With... Elva "Precious Love" Thompson, author of A Mother's Cry

When Elva Thompson (aka Precious Love) set out to write A Mother's Cry, I wonder if she knew how many lives she would directly affect with her honest approach to domestic violence and the struggles of being a single parent.

Although A Mother's Cry is written from a woman's perspective, the themes of struggle and perseverance is universal. Men and women alike have been not only touched by brought to action by this novel and its follow-up.

A Mother's Cry is more than a good story… Continue

Activate it All

Here's a sample of my writing lessons: The Writer’s Block Activate it All One key to creating powerful text and story is to active your writing. What do we mean by “activate”? We mean, well, activate. Journey to your trusty bookstore. While there, locate your favorite bestselling novelist’s shelf space. Pluck from it his or her latest title. Scan through the text. Because today’s novelists tend to be lazy writers—if they can be considered “writers” at all and not merely “novelists”—you’re su… Continue

NPR's All Thing's Considered

Marines Reflect On Duty, Death In Afghanistan

When the Marines of "America's Battalion" first arrived in Afghanistan, they were eager to get into the fight against the Taliban. Now, as they wrap up their seven-month deployment — and after the loss of a dozen comrades — they see warfare in a different light.

Insurance Mandate Could Spur Walk-In Clinic Boom

As it gets more difficult to see a primary care doctor, walk-in medical centers are picking up the slack. And if Congress succeeds in passing a nationwide health insurance mandate, the urgent care industry expects even more growth.

Evidence-Based Medicine: Hard For Some To Swallow

This week two panels of medical experts recommended fewer screening tests for breast and cervical cancer. The idea of evidence-based medicine is that the decisions made between doctors and patients should be based on studies that sometimes conflict with previous wisdom on treatment options.

Week In Politics Examined

Senate Democrats hoped to have enough votes this week to pass a health care bill, Obama Cabinet officials faced hostile lawmakers on Capitol Hill and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's much-awaited book hit bookstores. Political analysts E.J. Dionne, of The Washington Post, and David Brooks, of The New York Times, offer their insight.

Health Care Concessions A Bow To Moderates

The public option looms large in the minds of voters and certain lawmakers, but not so much in the Senate health care bill. There it limits eligibility, kicks in late, includes an opt-out provision for states, and is expected to cost more than private plans. Leaders say they had to weaken it to round up the 60 votes they need to move the bill forward. Still, its inclusion continues to jeopardize needed support for passage, because several members of the Democratic caucus adamantly oppose any public option.

Assessing Oprah's Farewell In 2011

Oprah Winfrey told her audience today that her talk show will end in 2011. Maureen Ryan, TV critic for the Chicago Tribune, discusses Winfrey's decision and if her power of network TV can translate to cable.

Lawsuit Adds To Tumult At 'Washington Times'

The Washington Times has long thought to be immune from the economic forces challenging the rest of newspaper industry because of the deep pockets of its founder and owner, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, head of the Unification Church. But the recession has taken a toll on the paper and now an apparent power struggle among Moon's sons is adding to the paper's challenges.

Boeing Breaks Ground In S.C.

For the first time in the company's history, Boeing will manufacture a commercial jet in a state other than Washington. The company broke ground Friday for a new factory in South Carolina, where it plans to manufacture its long-delayed 787 passenger plane. Boeing was lured to the south by a generous state incentive package, and by South Carolina's right-to-work law, which makes it less likely its employees will be unionized.

Scientist: 'Don't Give Up' On Stopping Asian Carp

Two Asian carp species that could devastate the Great Lakes ecosystem may be a few miles from Lake Michigan. To halt their migration, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built an underwater electric fence on a canal 20 miles south of the lake. But tests conducted by David Lodge at Notre Dame indicate that they have gotten close to the lake despite the barrier.

Letters: Hayden, Housewares, Santas

Listeners responded to the interview about the late U.S. Sen. Carl Hayden of Arizona, to the story about the closing of a Boston-area housewares chain, and the interview about Santas and the swine flu vaccine. Robert Siegel reads from listeners' letters.
