From PRI, Public Radio International and KCRW Santa Monica, this is To the Point.

Violence, madness, and politics in Arizona.

Hello again, I'm Orman Alney, and this is To the Point from Public Radio International,

the daily look at the issues Americans care about most.

There's been no change in the condition of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords

In Washington, Congress has suspended business for this week,

Jared Lochner is scheduled to be arraigned today on federal charges.

What do we know about the suspect? First, here's the news.

all people deserve the chance to live a healthy, productive life. Information at gatesfoundation.org.
