Stern goes Satellite - Siriusly!
After years of complaining about censorship, Howard Stern is getting serious. And Sirius is getting Stern. The radio host will move his show from its current home at Viacom's Infinity off the standard radio dial altogether to join the Sirius Satellite service in 2006. The move not only frees Howard from the FCC which he loves to loathe... but as Marty Goldensohn reports it has the potential to put satellite radio into orbit... changing the economics of the radio industry.

Will Russian oil dry up or go west
We've reported on how the Russian oil company YUKOS has been weighed down by tax claims. Today, it received an unwelcome package: another tax bill. This one for a billion dollars. Analysts say this could be the final blow, forcing the privately-held oil giant to dismember itself to pay its bills. It's parts: expected to end up in government hands. As Marketplace's Stephen Beard says you can bet Western oil companies are watching all this unfold with great interest.

An intelligent move?
Among the many items Capitol Hill is racing to complete this week: legislation to centralize control of all 15 U.S. intelligence agencies under a new national director. If the so-called 'intelligence czar' gets the green light, he or she will oversee a $40 billion budget. The measure addresses one of the recommendations of the September 11th Commission. But Marketplace commentator Robert Reich says the so-called reform measure doesn't get down to business.

The paycheck to paycheck life
We found out today that if you heat your house with oil, you'll pay, on average, 28 percent more this winter than last. And that will certainly have an impact on low-wage workers. People who might have to make a choice between heat and rent. Picture having to rearrange your living conditions because of rising costs...or some other trouble at home. And you start to see the spiral: people living paycheck to paycheck who leave their jobs to deal with personal crises only to have no income. From Cleveland, Cindi Deutschman-Ruiz reports on an attempt to break the cycle.
