Here and Now - U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke, NPR politcal editor Ken Rudin
Newly appointed U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke joins host Steve Goldstein in studio. As the state's top federal prosecutor, Burke is responsible for handing all civil and criminal cases, including crimes that take place on Native reservations, immigration and smuggling cases, and federal white collar crime.
NPR political editor Ken Rudin will also join Steve to talk politics and his passion for political button collecting. It will be interesting to see how many campaign souvenirs he has amassed and which ones stand out.
We had to tape Madeline Albright's interview, so we wont be taking questions for her. A very likable person, she talks with Steve about her pin (or brooch) collection and the challenges facing U.S. foreign policy today.

Here and Now - Arizona's Criminal Justice System
How are budget cuts affecting Arizona's criminal justice system? That's what we want to find out. We also want to learn more about a new concept called 'evidence based sentencing' that's beginning to gain momentum. Then there's a new study released last week that found crime labs are underfunded, use techniques that lack scientific foundation and cause significant case delays because of backlogs.
Let us know what your concerns are.
