As the year and the decade draw to a close, lists are everywhere. We're asking why we love them so much and what the proliferation of lists says about us a culture.
This week's demonstrations in Iran have shown that the opposition "Green Movement" is gaining political strength. But Ayatollah Khamenei and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard aren't giving up power without a fight. We'll assess the strength of each side and look at where the battle is heading.
Women have fought to legitimize their work as housewives, but now more men are assuming these roles and taking on the battle themselvs. As part of our Work in Progress series, The Current is taking a look at stay-at-home Dads.
We get the latest on the negotiations to release Gilad Shalit, the Israeli soldier who was captured by Hamas in June of 2006. And we look at why Israel has a policy of negotiating with groups that it considers terrorists when so many other countries refuse.
