10:00Presidential Debate Analysis

Two political observers join Diane to talk about the second Bush-Kerry debate Friday in St. Louis. They'll examine major issues that were raised and the case each man is presenting to persuade the American electorate to give him their votes.

Guests

Norman Ornstein, resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute

Thomas Mann, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and co-author of "The Broken Branch: How Congress Is Failing America and How To Get It Back On Track"

11:00Barbara Robinette Moss: "Fierce" (Scribner)

In the acclaimed memoir "Change Me Into Zeus's Daughter," Barbara Robinette Moss described the abuse and neglect her family suffered at the hands of her alcoholic father during her poverty-stricken childhood in rural Alabama. In her new memoir, we see her psychic injuries festering rather than fading as she enters adulthood. The author talks with Diane about how she finally escaped a life of fear and suffering.

Guests

Barbara Robinette Moss, artist and author of "Fierce" and "Change Me Into Zeus's Daughter"
