Critic-at-Large JOHN POWERS reviews the new film Coyote vs. ACME.

We remember writer, activist and feminist crusader GLORIA STEINEM. She died Wednesday at the age of 92. We'll listen to excerpts of two interviews with her. Her memoir, My Life on the Road, was dedicated to the doctor who helped Steinem get an illegal abortion when she was 22. She talks about the choices she made in her life--a life that has profoundly influenced women around the world. She helped to launch Ms. Magazine: created, owned, and operated by women, and targeted at increasingly self-aware women of the 1970s. It proved widely popular and hugely influential.

Director PAUL GREENGRASS. His new film, The Uprising, tells the story of the Peasants' Revolt of 1381, when tens of thousands of English farmers and laborers rose up against the crown. It stars Andrew Garfield. Twenty years ago, Greengrass made United 93, which re-creates in real time the hijacked flight on September 11th where passengers fought back. He built it from the official record and interviews with more than a hundred family members of those on board. And he directed Captain Phillips about a cargo ship seized by Somali pirates, which starred Tom Hanks..
