Talk of the Nation Explores 'What Works'
Talk of the Nation invites listeners to join in a series of broadcasts that highlight solutions to society's seemingly intractable problems.

This I Believe Ends Broadcasts This Month
Muhammad Ali 'Still the Greatest'  To be "The Greatest of All Time", boxing legend Muhammad Ali says you have to believe in yourself. It’s something his parents taught him as a child, and it’s helped him through the biggest challenge of his life – fighting Parkinson’s disease. Listen to his This I Believe essay from April 6, the final one aired on All Things Considered.The final This I Believe essay produced for NPR is scheduled for April 26 on Weekend Edition Sunday.  Ellen Weiss, Senior Vice President for NPR News, wrote in a memo to stations, "The original vision for This I Believe was that it would be a one-year project, and the fact that it has continued for four years is a testimony to the overwhelming listener participation in the series (more than 60,000 essay submissions to date), support from local stations, and the strength of the NPR/TIB collaboration." This I Believe, Inc. will continue to solicit essays and publish them on the Web at www.thisibelieve.org, and will continue to provide teachers with curricula and assistance in bringing essay-writing exercises into classrooms.
