Kraft Launches Oreo Ad Blitz in Land of Biscuits
Kraft, the maker of Oreos, is unveiling a big advertising campaign in Britain. Stuart Payne runs the Web site Nice Cup of Tea and a Sit Down, where he reviews cookies (or "biscuits" in the Queen's English). He tells Michele Norris the Oreo may have a hard time in Britain.

Bush Takes Swing at Iran Before Knesset
In a speech before the Knesset in Jerusalem, President Bush criticizes one of Israel's enemies, Iran, saying it is the world's leading sponsor of terrorism. He also says negotiating with terrorists and radicals is the false comfort of appeasement, an apparent swipe at Barack Obama.

Reporting in a Crisis Zone
Nearly 20,000 people have been declared dead in the wake of Monday's earthquake in southwestern China. NPR's Melissa Block and Robert Siegel were on the ground, covering the quake and its aftermath from the beginning. Today, they take a step back to discuss their experiences with Michele Norris.

New G.I. Bill Proposes 'Patriot Tax'
Congressional Democrats are pushing forward with plans for a new G.I. Bill to give veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan money to go to college for four years. House Democrats want to pay for it with what they've dubbed a "patriot tax" on people earning more than $500,000. In the Senate, one Republican who notably isn't on board is John McCain, a Vietnam veteran who says the proposal is too expensive and could encourage service members to leave the military.

California Court Strikes Down Gay Marriage Ban
The California Supreme Court has overturned a ban on gay marriage, paving the way for California to become the second state where gay and lesbian residents can marry. The ruling overturns a California voter-approved law that defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

Chinese Line Up for Water Three Days After Quake
In the Sichuan town of Gong Xing, north of Chengdu, residents are desperate for water and food following the earthquake. Some criticize the government for their lack of water; others are worried about making the government look bad.

Skepticism Grows Over Two-State Mideast Solution
Even as President Bush tries to boost prospects for peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians, optimism on both sides is dwindling. Many moderate Palestinians now question the basis of the process: the idea of Israel and Palestine living side by side.

Heinz on Quest for Sweeter Tomatoes
Heinz's breeders are trying to produce hybrid seeds with more natural sugars to cut down on the use of corn syrup in its ketchup. The price of corn has soared, caused in part by the ethanol boom.

Bible Theme Park Faces Opposition in Tennessee

'It's All Politics': NPR's Weekly News Roundup

Calif. Court Overturns Ban on Gay Marriage
The California Supreme Court overturned a voter-approved ban on gay marriage on Thursday, paving the way for California to become the second state to allow marriages between gay and lesbian couples. Massachusetts is currently the only state that allows same-sex marriages.

Shoddy Work, Leadership Blamed in School Collapse
The earthquake earlier this week in Southwestern China caused the collapse of a middle school, trapping and killing hundreds of students. The school was expanded from two stories to four, which residents say may have contributed to its collapse. They also blame local officials, who they say are corrupt.

Golf, Tennis Champs Sorenstam, Henin to Retire
Two top female athletes — tennis player Justine Henin and golfer Annika Sorenstam — this week announced that they're retiring. Christine Brennan, sports columnist at USA Today, talks about their surprising departures.
