***** Authoritative, NPR NewsMagazine-y, Real

This unflinching look at welfare reform 10 years later, looks at the "real-time" effects of the decade old decision on mothers and children, in Wyoming, Tennessee, as well as the current state of welfare reform law, where it works, and where it doesn't. John Biewen's well paced, well written production, punctuated by Ray Saurez's segment narrartion yields a solid hour of radio journalism at its best.
