Ken Heard brings tape on two issues: predatory lending in Pennsylvania and the war in Iraq:

• Pennsylvania Representative Curtis Thomas and the Philadelphia Unemployment Project's Brady Russell, recorded at a recent Commerce Committee hearing, give examples of predatory lending victimization and what was being done about it in the Pennsylvania House.
• Interviewed at one of the weekly Brandywine Potluck dinners in University City, Philadelphia, an Iraqi woman, interviewed close-up by Mr Heard, lends us a couple of minutes of perspective on the war.
