Border Town Residents Fight New Towers

The Department of Homeland Security is installing nine high-tech towers as part of the first section of its Secure Border Initiative Network along a 28-mile stretch near the Arizona-Mexico border.

They had a town meeting with DHS officials Monday night.

As supervising editor for Arts and Culture at NPR based at NPR West in Culver City, Ted Robbins plans coverage across NPR shows and online, focusing on TV at a time when there's never been so much content. He thinks "arts and culture" encompasses a lot of human creativity — from traditional museum offerings to popular culture, and out-of-the-way people and events.
