Head Trauma Ii
NPR's Ina Jaffe has the final segment in a report on how brain injured people try to compensate for the memory loss and other cognitive disabilities they've suffered. While medical advances have saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of brain injured people, these survivors have few places to turn, and little money to pay, for this kind of difficult rehabilitaion.
Man On The Street
Noah talks to put-on artist Mal Sharpe. With the late Jim Coyle, Sharpe staged deadpan encounters with strangers on the streets of San Francisco in the early 1960s. The two taped the bits for a radio station. They presented the people they met with odd challenges -- absurd premises that made the victim grasp for reality. A collection of some of that material has now be re-issued on a compact disc. Sharpe says he and his partner dressed and acted like upright citizens, but spoke sanely about insane things. He says people were more suspectible to such charades back then, but are more suspicious these days.

Floyd Collins, Cave Man
Noah talks with Tina Landau, a playwright who has written a new musical opening in New York this weekend. "Floyd Collins" recounts the true story of a man by that name, who, in 1925, was trapped in a cave in Kentucky for several days. The efforts to get him out and the unraveling human tragedy became the focus of national and worldwide attention, unusual in an age without instant delivery of the news.

COLOMBIA & DRUGS -- NPR's David Welna reports on the scandal swirling around Colombian President Ernesto Samper, who has been indicted on charges he took millions of dollars from drug traffickers for his election campaign. The charges against Samper helped convince President Clinton to announce today that he will cut off most aid to Colombia because of its failure to do enough in the war against drugs. But while the scandal has caused outrage in Washington, most Colombians are not demanding that Samper resign.
