Bill Moyers Journal examines the unprecedented presidential power some say is being amassed by our current Administration and kept secret in the name of national security. Moyers gets perspective from Charles Fried, who teaches constitutional law at Harvard Law School and served as solicitor general in the Reagan administration, and Fritz Schwarz, who served as counsel to the US Senate select committee led by Frank Church of Idaho that uncovered decades of abuse by the CIA and other intelligence agencies. Also on the program, Moyers interviews Katherine S. Newman, author of "The Missing Class: Portraits of the Near Poor in America," about the millions in America who, despite decent wages, can't access public assistance and are one step away from poverty.

"Discovering What Democracy Means"
Have we all lost our vision? I wonder as I read this oped piece by Bill Moyers if most people in America are totally blind to what they don't know, or what they don't want to know?
As we face that challenge even today, a story about Helen Keller is worth remembering. Toward the end of her career, as she was speaking at a Midwestern college, a student asked: “Miss Keller, is there anything that could have been worse than losing your sight?” Helen Keller replied: “Yes, I could have lost my vision.”
