Author EL Doctorow talks about his newest book, and Americana asks a roundtable of citizens, living far from political Washington, what they think of US forces flying over Libya.

American Opinion on Involvement over Libya:
With US warplanes among those flying over Libya to enforce the no-fly zone, Allison Keyes gathers a roundtable discussion with the American people to learn what they think of the latest US efforts in the Middle East.

Ageing in America:
Growing older in the United States can be a complicated experience. Authors Susan Jacoby and Arnold Weinstein say the romantic storylines of books and movies can play a part in the process of coming to terms with ageing. Americana visits with older Americans in a retirement community in Maryland to find out what they think about the myths and truths of ageing.

EL Doctorow:
EL Doctorow joins Americana to talk about his newest book, a collection of short stories called All the Time in the World.
