The hotly contested presidential election of 2000 prompted widespread demands for election reform. While many groups have studied the problem and made recommendations, little has changed in laws governing poll worker training, voting equipment, ballot-counting, and other weak links in the voting process. A panel talks about the efforts to get voting reform off the ground.

Edward Steichen was one of the twentieth century's most influential photographers. When he and his wife Joanna married, he was 81 and she was 27. At his death in 1973, she became the executor of his estate, and in her book, she shares not only the best of his work, but also her personal recollections of her husband, as an artist and as a man.
