** Richard V. Allen, President Reagan's national security adviser, returns as my guest for a discussion of foreign and defense policy issues in next month's election. Dr. Tawfik Hamid, an Egyptian scholar of Islam, will also join me to preview his new book, "The Roots of Jihad."
** David Brussat, architecture critic for the Providence Journal, will tell us why the Denver's new attention-grabbing museum, may fall short of greatness. And I'll talk with producer Ken Wales about the "Amazing Grace" movie, Wilberforce's life story out soon from Walden Media.
** Plus Roland Warren of the National Fatherhood Initiative, spelling out why fathers matter so very much in children's lives. Is there a connection to school shootings, inner-city despair, and even congressional sex? Listen and judge for yourself.
Please tell your friends about "Backbone Radio with John Andrews." America and the West, still not fully aroused to the threat we face five years after 9/11, need a lot more backbone right now. We're committed to helping. How about you?
Yours for self-government, JOHN ANDREWS
