  • President Obama recently signed into law a new version of the Violence Against Women Act.

Fernanda Echavarri talks with representatives at the University of Arizona about how the UA health center will be affected by these changes.

  • Guitarist John Jorgenson has played music with a host of stars, from Johnny Cash to Elton John, but his new band let's him play the music that he loves the most - acoustic swing in the style of Django Reinhardt. Mark McLemore talks with John Jorgenson about why that is so, and about Jogenson's upcoming concert at The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.

  • And, Mark McLemore talks with one of the most successful comedians of all time, Carol Burnett. Carol is the subject of an American Masters documentary that airs on PBS 6 on Tuesday, April 9th at 8 pm.
