Sports Players Who Served
( Phoenix, AZ )Former Arizona Cardinals' football player Pat Tillman died in battle in Afghanistan, fighting for the Army Rangers. Tillman Gave up a lucritive football contract to join the military, in response to the attacks of September 11, 2001. In the past, it was much more common for professional athletes to be in the military. During World war two, more than 90 percent of Major League Baseball players who were on prewar rosters served in the armed forces (though a small percentage found themselves in the same battle situations as Pat Tillman). Steve Goldstein speaks with University of Nebraska at Omaha history professor Steven Bullock, whose new book "Playing for their Nation" chronicles professional baseball players who served during world war two.

Clinical Laboratory Scientist Shortage
2002 Interview with Judith Grout
( Phoenix, AZ )The health-care shortage has reached a critical mass -- especially in clinical laboratory science. These scientists run tests, for instance, on blood, to diagnose an illness. In December 2002, KJZZ's Abigail Beshkin reported on this shortage. Since then, the world's been exposed to SARS outbreaks and anthrax scares. Programs to train these workers are closing across the country. The University of Arizona plans to close ITS clinical laboratory science program in June. The American Society for Clinical Laboratory Science has designated this week to raise awareness of the shortage. State chapter president Judith Grout joins me to talk about the status of her profession.
