Blowing the Whistle
Joyce Molino
Abuses at nursing homes made the news several times this summer. Joyce Molino has seen those abuses herself. She worked at a nursing home for the mentally ill in Chicago. Shortly after she started, she saw roaches in the hallway and residents being beaten. The breaking point for her came when a female patient was raped.
Joyce talks with host Dick Gordon about what happened after she blew the whistle.

Bill Thornton
For Bill Thornton, this month's dismal economic news has been a kind of absolution. For 20 years, he was a home appraiser. But as prices climbed during the housing boom, lenders stopped calling him. As he tells Dick, Bill eventually closed his business and reluctantly became a truck driver. Yet when he recently heard how Wall Street helped create the housing and financial meltdown, he realized that losing his business wasn't exactly his fault.
