The Great Inca Rebellion
 The first NOVA/National Geographic Television special goes to an impoverished suburb of Lima, Peru, where Peruvian archaeologist Guillermo Cock excavates an ancient cemetery crammed with mummies. In a truly startling find, he discovers corpses that differ from all the rest. They have been hastily buried and disfigured by multiple, appalling wounds and fractures. Forensic experts help to determine that these remains are victims of a battle that pitted club-wielding Inca warriors against Spanish cavalry. Airs Friday, July 18th at 10:00p.

Newshour Election '08 Headlines
Tell Them Public MattersAdministration's Budget Proposal Includes Unprecedented Cuts for Public BroadcastingFor 2009 and 2010, the Administration has proposed cuts to public broadcast funding that, if enacted, would slash 56 percent of our annual budget. Every Cut Means "One Less"With every dollar cut from the budget of public broadcasting, there is the potential of "one less." One less child who will learn to count with the characters of Sesame Street. One less rural community that will have access to the news, cultural and educational programming public radio and television provide. One less educational Web site available to our nation's schools. When the Funding is ProvidedWhen the funding is provided, what is accomplished is truly immeasurable. We can expand our local news coverage. Develop more programs like Capitol Hill Radio Unit, which have been such a success. We can continue to fund public television's Between the Lions and public radio's Heartland Chronicles. We can assure stations serving rural and minority communities that they will receive the funding they so desperately depend on. Read more...
