Protecting dogs & saving pigeons
Are pigeons shoots inhumane? Bob Barker thinks so, and he's bringing attention to the sport, which many people think should be outlawed. Later in the show, Allan talks with the founder of the Coalition to Unchain Dogs, a volunteer group dedicated to releasing dogs from backyard chains by providing free fencing to homes with dogs. They are also lobbying for legislation to disallow or severely restrict tethering of dogs.

It's Black History Month, and apparently that provides more opportunities or NBC to make itself look bad. A great deal of controversy has been stirred up over an NBCU cafeteria menu that featured fried chicken, collard greens and black eyed peas in honor of Black History Month. The chef (who is black) at NBC said she eats the food herself and doesn't understand why her menu choice was considered offensive. Is it all about political correctness gone haywire?

Bob Dylan: Prophet, Mystic, Poet
For the first time in a full-length book, Seth Rogovoy examines the deep and profound Jewish context and roots of Dylan's life and songs. From his childhood as the son of parents who were central figures in the Jewish community of a small mining town in Minnesota, through his career as a songwriter and performer drawing heavily on the Bible, Kabbalah, and the Jewish prophetic tradition for music, to his lifelong devotion to Israel, Bob Dylan has always kept his connection to Judaism close at hand.
