At 2:08 p.m. – Washington History in 5 Pieces
The Washington State History Museum has nearly 100,000 items in its collection. That means much of the state's history stays tucked away in storage. For a new exhibit, curator Ed Nolan and other curators selected just five items each from the collection. Today, Megan Sukys joins Ed Nolan at the Washington State History Museum as he shares how the exercise rekindled his love of history.

There's a grade school program in Olympia that teaches students they're part of the world community. That program put a 10–year old Rachel Corrie on the steps of the state capitol building to speak out against world hunger. The journals she started writing then are in a new book called Let Me Stand Alone. Rachel's parents Cindy and Craig got to know their daughter better through these writings, which include letters and emails from her time in the Gaza Strip. She was killed there in March 2003 while blocking the demolition of a Palestinian family's house.

Few sports encourage you to hug your opponent right after you elbowed her in the face. But in roller derby, that's just part of the game. Seattle's Rat City Rollergirls includes over eighty members from all over Puget Sound. And when the girls need new rollergear, they often turn to Jennifer Savaglio. As the co-owner of Fast Girl Skates, Jennifer tries to bring caring service to a brutal sport. In an archive from February 11, 2008, Jennifer tells us how she first witnessed this mix of compassion and agression her first time on the flat track.
