HEARINGS OVERLOAD - Commentator Mickey Edwards says enough of all these hearings on the hill...if there is something to uncover in Waco or Whitewater, then uncover it. But, he says, that doesn't mean every senator or congressman has to get a chance to ask his/her question before a public hearing. Hearings are costly and time consuming. Congress should not just investigate for the sake of investigating. Instead Congress should take action. (3:00) -b- 3.

She was a founding member of New York's Negro Ensemble Company. Roslind Cash was a serious actress whose refusal to keep her mouth shut or alter her dreadlocks to suit a producer probably lost her a few roles. But as NPR's Vertamae Grosvenor recalls ... Rosalind Cash had other reasons for being an actress. Her final role was as Mary May Ward in the TV soap... "General Hospital". Rosalind Cash was 56. (3:30) CUTAWAY 2C 0:59 2D 18. PERE UBU - Rick Karr reports on the band Pere Ubu. Cleveland was cool long before the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame anointed it so. In the 1970's, a group of musicians formed a band and took their name from Alfred Jarry's pre-DADA play, "Ubu Roi." They played art rock and took themselves very seriously. Not a lot of other people did, however, so Pere Ubu put out its' own records. Now a lot of people claim to listen to Pere Ubu and to be inspired by the band...and Pere Ubu just keeps plugging along...musically documenting the decline of rust belt America.
