In the magazine this week, senior reporter ALICE PARK profiles Long Island skater Sarah Hughes, the 16-year-old who, along with established star Michelle Kwan and the mesmerizing Sasha Cohen, completes the strongest U.S. figure-skating trio since Kristi Yamaguchi, Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding stirred hope for a medals sweep in 1992. Talk with Park about the U.S. team on Wednesday, Feb. 6, at 8 p.m. E.T.
Since the Enron story broke, TIME's crack investigative reporter MICHAEL WEISSKOPF has been digging deep into the scandal. This week Weisskopf discovers a possible reason why Dick Cheney is reluctant to release notes from his energy task force: a May 3 meeting between the Vice President and lobbyists for electric utilities that gave money for a May 21 presidential gala. Talk with him about the Enron mess on Thursday, Feb. 7, at 8 p.m. E.T.
