Noah talks with Tina Landau, a playwright who has written a new musical opening in New York this weekend. "Floyd Collins" recounts the true story of a man by that name, who, in 1925, was trapped in a cave in Kentucky for several days.

COLOMBIA & DRUGS — NPR's David Welna reports on the scandal swirling around Colombian President Ernesto Samper, who has been indicted on charges he took millions of dollars from drug traffickers for his election campaign. The charges against Samper helped convince President Clinton to announce today that he will cut off most aid to Colombia because of its failure to do enough in the war against drugs.
