This week on Lingua Franca: The Language of the Third Reich. Dr Leo
Kretzenbacher on the German philologist Victor Klemperer's secret study of
the Nazis' perversion of the German language. Although he was sacked from
Dresden University (where he was professor of French Literature) in 1935
because he was a Jew, Victor Klemperer was allowed to remain in Dresden
throughout the war years because the Nazis classified his wife as an
'Aryan'.. Klemperer risked their lives by keeping detailed diaries in
which he made a meticulous study of Nazi rhetoric, which he codenamed LTI,
standing for Lingua Tertii Imperii. Dr Leo Kretzenbacher discusses
Klemperer's book The Language of the Third Reich, originally published in
German soon after the war.

Judges have been sworn in at the new International Criminal Court (ICC) in
the Dutch city of The Hague. But does the official inauguration of the
court mark a coming of age for international justice? The court, as the
world's first permanent UN tribunal, will prosecute individuals for war
crimes, genocide and other gross human rights violations. Eighty-nine
countries have ratified the treaty backing its launch - but not everyone
is happy. The United States is opposed to the ICC, saying it may launch
politically motivated prosecutions of US civilian and military leaders. It
has even passed legislation, nicknamed the Hague Invasion Act, that would
enable US citizens to be freed by force from the court if necessary. The
US has also been lobbying hard to get countries to agree not to work with
the court over prosecutions of US citizens -24 countries have signed such
deals, known as article 98 agreements, to date. So have your say on
international justice - is the ICC a major step forward, or are the
Americans right to campaign against its work?

The Balloon Goes Up: As the attack on Iraq begins, we read a soldier's
emails about the war so far: "We all just wonder, just like the people
back home, when or if the balloon will go up (that's what we call the
start of a war)." If everything goes as planned, we'll also have these
stories: David Sedaris files from Paris. Gulf War vet Anthony Swofford
(author of the war memoir Jarhead) watches and critiques the TV coverage.
Sarah Vowell tells the story of the first time the United States invaded
another country to enact "regime change" and free an oppressed people. It
was back in 1898 and in the long run, didn't work out so well. An Iraqi
explains what it's like to hate Saddam Hussein and have the U.S. dropping
bombs on your city. And more.

Every week for years, on radios across Canada, people would hear the
announcer step up to the mike as the band played in the background. Tom
toms would beat out as the announcer declared. "Rugged rhythms from the
land of rugged peaks," and as the band switched into their theme
song… "Peaceful melody and harmony picturing placid lakes and quiet
mountain trails". This meant that Canada's most popular big band was on
the air.. Mart Kenney and his Western Gentlemen. Having just celebrated
his 93rd birthday, Canada's big band king, is still on the go! He came in
to our Vancouver studios to talk to us about his long and celebrated
musical career. We also invited his long-time sideman, Gerry Adamus who is
an unofficial historian for the band who joined in by telephone from his
home. Tune in for music and an interesting conversation on a legendary
figure in Canada's musical history on this week's Spotlight!

Sunday, March 23 2003: NPR’s Living on Earth
Critics of the Bush administration says its war with Iraq is in part
motivated by the US’ desire to control Iraqi oil. In an article in the
National Journal, John Maggs says it’s not that simple. Oil and the
motives for war next time on Living On Earth, from NPR. Also on the
program: Common household products like hairspray, floor polish and car
wax are now the second largest contributor to smog in southern California,
second only to tailpipe exhaust. LOE host Steve Curwood talks about the
development with Gary Polakovic, air pollution reporter for the Los
Angeles Times. And reporter Clay Scott takes us down the Chattahoochee
River. The river begins in Northern Georgia and makes its way south to
Florida where it ultimately empties into the Gulf of Mexico. Along the
way, the Chattahoochee runs through Atlanta where a growing population,
and the drought, are putting pressures on the river’s ecosystems and the
livelihood of fishermen further downstream.

Sunday, March 23 2003: The Savvy Traveler from PRI
In the coming weeks, radio listeners will have many questions about how
the war with Iraq is affecting the world, and their lives. Listeners will
also feel the effects of this conflict in their daily travels: at the gas
pump, in their local economies, as they plan business trip and vacations..
Throughout the war and beyond, The Savvy Traveler will report on how the
war affects listeners getting around in the world -- giving them
information they need to help them make decisions about their travels.
This week The Savvy Traveler will report the latest from the TSA (US
Transportation Security Administration) on security at airports and other
travel centers. We'll give listeners sources and strategies to help them
decide whether, and where, to travel and on what to do with frequent flyer
miles to guard against airline bankruptcy. We'll give road-trippers tips
for better gas mileage and flyers tips on travel insurance, dealing with
heightened security, how to pack, and how to stay in touch from the road.
We'll also hear from people out traveling this week about their
observations from the road and their thoughts and feelings about traveling
in a troubled time. The Savvy Traveler will also be bringing your
listeners many of the standard segments they expect from us. We'll still
have Rudy Maxa's Deal of the Week, though it may focus a bit closer to
home. We'll still hear sound-rich travel stories -- for instance, this
week we'll take listeners on an eating tour of New York's Lower East, a
kind of comfort-food trip. And we'll still be tapping our stable of
experts on the best advice for travelers of all stripes.

In the Research File this week five ‘simple’ solutions for big
problems, life need not be overcomplicated if we only use technology in an
imaginative way. For instance, we take a test drive in what may well be
the answer to all commuting problems; traffic jams, air pollution and
general fitness all at once. The most nutritious food on earth is algae,
so if these could be cultivated on a large scale they might help feed the
world. We visit an experimental algae-farm. A somewhat smaller problem is
the dating of old paintings. It can be done simply by analysing miniscule
flakes of paint and comparing them with historical recipes for pigments. A
real scientific breakthrough is hands-on manipulation of virtual reality,
and it’s made possible by a simple trick with a mirror. And last but not
least; a special process of pressure-cooking and baking cheap, soft, wood
turns it into a rot-free alternative for tropical hardwood. The
rainforests need not be destroyed…

On this week’s edition of EuroQuest with Jonathan Groubert: Many see
American military and economic aims in Iraq as one and the same thing..
But if America's critics claim that America's policy on Iraq is driven by
oil, similar claims could be made about France. / Germany's Future
Discussed: Germany’s position as the economic powerhouse at the
geographical center of Europe is threatened. To make things more complex,
the country’s wartime past prevents it from exercising real power. /
Hungarian Farmers Struggle to Compete with EU: The euphoria of joining the
EU is offset by fear; fear that their undeveloped economies will have

There are quite a large number of foreigners working in China now. In east

also brought their families. Today’s China Horizons will travel there
and join a club made up of the wives of these foreign employers. Called
Wuxi Expat Ladies Group, the club enriches the life of its members with
various social activities. And it seems that these ladies have a lot of
things to do in China: “Among our activities of the Wuxi Lady Group. We
have been lucky enough to learn some Chinese cooking. Last year I was
taught how to make several dishes, including spicy pork slices, Chinese
mushrooms with Baicai greens, and the famous Wuxi pork dumplings, which
are not at all easy to prepare. -- We would like to work in cooperation
with the orphanage where we want to help, not only by giving gifts, but
also by helping to train the children. Many of the ladies have a lot of
spare time and we would like to do something meaningful with it.”

The trade in human capital is one of the world's growth industries.
Countries compete with each other to attract skilled workers such as
doctors and nurses, offering salaries and conditions that are unattainable
in developing nations. In Canada, skilled immigrants to the country are
offered attractive salaries AND permanent residence. But there's a catch.
You might end up a long way from home, perhaps in a small northern town
like Flin Flon Manitoba. That’s what happened to two nurses from the
Philipines. Hear about their story in “Johanna and Loida go to Flin
Flon” produced by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. --- This is the
