Speakers: David Brooks & Michael Scheuer<br>
David Brooks, a leading political analyst for the <em><i><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family:Verdana">New York Times</span></font></i></em> and PBS
<em><i><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family:Verdana">NewsHour</span></font></i></em> , has come to some surprising conclusions after years of observing political life. He says politicians place too much value on reason, and not enough on social relationships,
emotion and morality. So many aspects of modern life are driven by unconscious feelings that politicians can only develop successful policies if they try to understand these feelings and learn the skills of intuition, sympathy and restraint. Also on Background
Briefing today, some analysis from Michael Scheuer, formerly chief of the Bin-laden unit on what motivated Osama bin Laden.

</span></font></b></strong><br>
Reporter: Brendan King <br>
Physicians' assistants have joined pharmacists, nurse practitioners and optometrists to say they can do the straightforward, simple, and repetitive work that would take the load off GPs. Patient safety is central to the debate, as the AMA guards its turf.

</span></font></b></strong><br>
Reporter Cathy Van Extel. <br>
Many intellectually disabled people end up in jail. They plead guilty to minor crimes not understanding either social rules or the consequences. Hear the story of Melisa who has an IQ of 57, which is in the lowest l%, and who still faces jail.
