Death and dying in America are center stage with the Pope and Terri Schiavo. First, reflections on Pope John Paul II's passing with FRANCIS KISSLING, president of Catholics for Free Choice. Then we'll talk about what we've learned about some people's strange relationship with mortality and we'll unravel the right-wing conspiracy to make the most of the Terry Schiavo case. Conservative foundations, resuscitating Operation Rescue and the Vatican's hidden hand all played a part. Pro-choice protester SUNSARA TAYLOR tells us how she braved the hospice barricades. Investigative journalist FRED CLARKSON describes the religious right's organizing. Finally, extraordinary jazz singer CHERYL BENTYNE on her new CD featuring the swing and bebop music of Anita O'Day.

Two more Republicans against CAFTA
WASHINGTON, (Reuters) - Two more congressmen from President George W. Bush's Republican Party declared on Tuesday they would not vote for a new free trade agreement with five Central American countries and the Dominican Republic.
The declaration came as Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez warned that rejection of the U.S.-Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) would send a troubling message to the rest of the world about the United States' commitment to free trade.
The Bush administration has been expected to submit CAFTA to Congress for a vote sometime this spring.
