Building Up America: Navajo farm finds formula for success
(CNN) – It's home to breathtaking landscapes, century old traditions and an unemployment rate hovering near 50 percent. But in New Mexico, the Navajo Nation is trying to change that.

How much oil is gushing into the Gulf?
(CNN) – The pictures are like a punch in the gut. Huge bands of syrupy crude oil are now snaking through the sensitive wetlands off Louisiana's coast. BP officials insist they're making a "measurable difference" containing the catastrophe. The oil giant is buckling to pressure from Congress, now allowing the world to see its live continuous video feed of the gusher at the bottom of the Gulf.
Steve Wereley is an associate professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue University. He was one of the first experts to question BP's estimate of 5,000 barrels a day leaking into the Gulf. He joined us on Thursday's American Morning to explain.

CNN exclusive with Baghdad terror chief
(CNN) – They're some of America's "most wanted" – al Qaeda leaders who normally appear only in the shadows on grainy Internet videos or audio recordings. This week, CNN's Fred Pleitgen was the first western TV journalist to interview the recently captured Baghdad commander of al Qaeda in Iraq. As Fred tells us, the Iraqi government made him available to CNN and Arabic language media to highlight the progress it's made fighting terrorism.
Cockpit windshield cracks, window heaters may be at fault
(CNN) – "Fire in the cockpit!" It's fair to say that's one thing you don't want to hear at 30,000 feet, but that's just what happened on a United flight last weekend. The Federal Aviation Administration is speeding up an order requiring airlines to inspect windshield heaters on Boeing jets after the incident Sunday night. Our homeland security correspondent Jeanne Meserve has the report.
