There are two problems: The Earth may be running out of soil, and the quality of what we have is gradually diminishing. For the cover story of the September issue of National Geographic, Charles Mann writes of this crisis on the horizon. He reports on what farmers and scientists are doing figuring out how to save soil and transform deserts into fertile land. He’s our guest along with a soil expert at Case Western Reserve University. We’ll also learn what’s at stake for Ohio’s rich agricultural land and for the world.

But more than 100 college presidents signed a petition called the Amethyst Initiative, which says it's time to think about lowering the drinking age. Critics, including Mothers Against Drunk Driving, say lowering the age will only make the problem worse.

Looking at those numbers, it's hardly surprising to find that teen mothers are more likely to end up living in poverty. The problem hits African-American communities particularly hard: Sixty-nine percent of black children are born to single parents and a high percentage of those children are born to teen moms. On our program, we had a frank conversation about teen pregnancy and what can be done about it.

Among the choices are a former naval air captain, and a former law professorwho spent some time at Harvard. The big question—perhaps the most important question—is this: Who would make a better a leader? On our program we’ll talk to local and national experts about the most effective tools for making that judgment. Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock, you’re invited to help us write a definition of leadership good enough for the Oval office.
