If you'd like to learn more about the nuclear deal with India, Keith Porter details the deal and the risks to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT), which India has not signed. In other world news, Jennifer Brea provides background about Bush's foreign travel this week; Tom Head tackles the three-year prison sentence of David Irving for Holocaust denial; and Amy Hess discusses Israel and Hamas.
Closer to home, another risk -- the status of immigrants. Deborah White explains why Catholic Cardinal Roger Mahony has, for the first time ever, asked the entire Archdiocese of Los Angeles to mobilize behind a social justice issue. Robert Longley laments that we know The Simpsons but not our Constitutional rights. And Larry West takes on the federal preemption of state law embodied in a food labeling bill.
In the lightly-covered-by-national media department, Susan Pizarro-Eckert tells us that we (through the Federal government) have settled the first 9-11 "sweep" case for $300,000.
Finally, if you need help putting together your scorecard for Sunday, we can help there, too!
