4) This week's summary of under-reported news

Compiled by Bob Nixon

• The nuclear cooperation agreement between India and the United States is falling apart as Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh faces stiff opposition from leftist members of his governing coalition.

• The U.S. Supreme Court has halted a second execution in what amounts to an unofficial moratorium on the use of lethal injection until the high court rules on the constitutionality of the execution method.

• Before launching his presidential bid, former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani merged his consulting business with the powerful energy law firm Bracewell & Patterson, which has strong ties to Texas oil and the Texas Republican political machine.

AUDIO INFORMATION:

"Between The Lines" is a half-hour syndicated radio news magazine that each week features a summary of under-reported news stories and interviews with activists and journalists who offer progressive perspectives on international, national and regional political, economic and social issues. Because "Between The Lines" is independent of all publications, media networks or political parties, we are able to bring a diversity of voices to the airwaves generally ignored or marginalized by the major media.
