>As you may know, Bill Moyers is currently hosting a terrific weekly
>program on PBS called "NOW," broadcast each Friday evening at 9:00pm.
>
>Tomorrow night's show will feature a lead segment based on Marc Siegel's
>Nation editorial, "Fighting the Drug (Ad) Wars," from our June 17, 2002
>issue. An author and MD on the faculty in internal medicine at New York
>University, Siegel argues that, over the last five years, major US drug
>companies have worked to build name recognition using extensive television
>and magazine ads with the effect being to raise drug prices and overall
>costs as patients pressure doctors to prescribe drugs that often aren't
>needed.
>
>Tune in tomorrow, August 9, to PBS at 9:00pm for the full story. And when
>Siegel is done, don't touch that channel: Moyers will interview Ralph
>Nader directly after his discussion with Siegel.

>Finally, if you're looking for a good lead-in to Moyers' NOW at 9:00
>tomorrow night, watch Phil Donahue's MSNBC show at 8:00. Donahue, recently
>returned to the airwaves after a six-year break, will interview Nation
>friend and national treasure Studs Terkel. Every interview with Terkel is
>memorable so don't miss this chance to see this legendary eighty-nine year
>old author live.
