"The Soul Patch" - stories of unlikely (and surprisingly simple) answers to seemingly unsolvable problems. We get to know a man who struggles, and mostly fails, to contain his violent outbursts...until he meets a bird who can keep him in check. Then, Oliver Sacks and Chuck Close, who are both face-blind, share workarounds that help them figure out who they're talking to. And a senior center stumbles upon an unexpected way to help Alzheimer's patients-by building a bus stop

FROM THE NATIONAL DESK From Alicia Shepard, NPR Ombudsman
Worthy Cause, Controversial Funding Source  George Soros' foundations gave NPR $1.8 million for a local-national project to improve state government coverage. But Soros is so identified with liberal causes that the grant has made some listeners, some staffers and some other public radio supporters uncomfortable. The concern is a perception of a conflict.

Vintage Ads For "Sparklet Nasal" And Other Curious Med
 We see ads every day making promises about the efficacy of Zyrtec, Cialis, and Lexapro, and while the medicines themselves may be new, the marketing tactics used to sell them are not. The Picture Show blog looks at the Philadelphia Museum of Art's display of vintage medicine ads and appreciates the inaccurate but beautifully designed promotions.

Bill Moyers Remembers Favorite 'Journal' Interviews
 In 2007, Bill Moyers returned to PBS to revive his long-running public affairs program, Bill Moyers Journal, which first aired on PBS in the '70s. In a new book, the longtime PBS host and former aide to President Lyndon B. Johnson recaptures the show's memorable interviews, from The Wire's David Simon to conservationist Jane Goodall to Chicago minister Jeremiah Wright.

The White House As It Was
 Many Americans think of the White House as a symbol or a museum, but it's also a home, and when a new president moves in, the first family redecorates. To preserve what the famous rooms looked like at different moments in history, the White House Historical Association has commissioned 14 paintingsby architectural painter Peter Waddell to depict the White House during its first 100 years.
Photo: Grover Cleveland, the only President to get married in the White House, married 21-year-old Frances Folsom, above, in the Blue Room in 1886. The blue furniture, as shown in Waddell's painting, Something Blue, is still in the White House collection. Photo credit: White House Historical Association
