Here are some highlights of today's show:

Our series on ballot measures continues. KXJZ's Marianne Russ reports on Prop 12, the Veterans' Bond Act of 2008.

Theatre critic Jeff Hudson reviews "Waiting for Lefty" at 5:33 and 7:33.

The downturn in the economy is fueling a robust trade in coupons. In addition to the traditional coupons that people clip from newspapers and other printed sources, web sites and blogs offer tips and links to coupons. Some companies are also sending out coupons as text messages. That story airs at 6:21 and 8:21.

John McCain and Barack Obama agree on a literary matter. They each pick Ernest Hemingway's 1940 novel "For Whom the Bell Tolls," featuring the stoic freedom-fighter Robert Jordan, as a favorite. NPR Special Correspondent Susan Stamberg has this report for our "In Character" series at 7:51.

Thanks for listening.
