Round 1
Who's Carl This Time?
(Listen with Real Audio)
Voices from the past year...A personal statement worthy of Popeye; A unique punishement for equivicating politicians; and dreadful prison food.
Opening Round

Some musical highlights from the past year...First, a gospel number by man known more for his military tribunals. Second, a song from a band suffering an identity
