AMERICA'S HOSTS: Renee Montagne and Steve Inskeep; NEWSCASTS: Carl Kasell, Jean Cochran
CALIFORNIA/NEVADA HOST: Donna Apidone; NEWSCASTS: Steve Shadley

Here are some highlights of today's show:

Wall Street jittery after suffering its worse losses since the September eleventh attacks on news that Lehman Brothers would seek bankruptcy protection. Adding to the misery is insurance giant, American Insurance Group, who's facing serious trouble.  That story at 6:10 and 8:10, with updates throughout the morning.

The US Coast Guard yesterday was out following Hurricane Ike's path. The crew was assessing the storm's damage, including pollution and leaking oil rigs and platforms.  More at 5:21 and 7:21.

Need to escape reality?  We'll hear from Agatha Christie and go white water rafting at 7:51.

Thanks for listening.
