Thousands live, work, play, and pray in a sprawling garbage dump. As third-world cities experience explosive growth, sub-cultures sprout up on their edges, living on the remains. But this may be what upward mobility looks like. Next, the latest technology designed to help ease the seemingly endless delays and cancellations by airlines. Finally, Barack Obama and Mike Huckabee, "In Their Own Words."

They've replaced old, dying industries with cutting edge, environmentally friendly manufacturing. They're now a world leader, and the U.S. is lagging far behind. How did this happen, and what can be done? Next, the mayor of London has imposed a big (some say draconian) tax on the use of SUVs in the central city. It is in the name of clean air, but is it fair?
