Toguri was an American citizen who hosted a Japanese propaganda radio show broadcast to U.S. troops serving in the Pacific. These broadcasts were at the center of what was then the costliest trial in U.S. history. The viewer has never been able to play his oversized record, but family lore says it reveals the role his uncle played in this infamous show trial. HISTORY DETECTIVES host Gwendolyn Wright consults with experts from Long Island to Los Angeles. Her answer flips assumptions of guilt and innocence, and gives viewers a fresh angle on what actually happened in and around that trial.Crazy Horse Photo - Twenty-five years ago, someone gave a leather purse to a Lakota businessman. Inside the purse he found a photograph and a note, dated 1904, written in the Lakota language. An elderly man from the Lakota community translated the note. In brief, it says, "This is a photograph of Crazy Horse." Does the contributor have the Holy Grail of the Wild West: a photo of the Lakota warrior who defeated General Custer? Historians are suspicious of most photos purported to be of Crazy Horse. The Lakota leader avoided cameras, believing they would rob his soul. To verify the photo, HISTORY DETECTIVE host Elyse Luray tracks down a Crazy Horse descendant and visits the Crazy Horse Memorial. Finally, she puts the photo in context with other works by the same photographer at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC.WWII DIARY (Encore presentation) - A man in Lexington, North Carolina, has a poignant diary written by a World War II pilot.

Host Wes Cowan heads to Florida on a quest to reunite the diary with the pilot's surviving family.

8:00 Time Team America New Philadelphia, Illinois TIME TEAM AMERICA digs for the remains of the first American town founded by freed slaves.

A farmer's field now covers this dramatic testament to victory over enslavement.

TIME TEAM joins in the search for the remains of the schoolhouse where New Philadelphia's black children learned to read and write in freedom.

9:00 Ascent of Money Risky Business The ability to calculate risk has led to the creation of enormous wealth, or when calculated incorrectly, catastrophic economic fallout. In New Orleans, Ferguson witnesses the destruction still on display from Hurricane Katrina because insurance companies were unable to cover claims to rebuild homes; the region has been deemed uninsurable ever since. The origin of the insurance industry brings Ferguson to Scotland, where, in 1744, two ministers devised calculations that would predict the risk of a person's becoming sick or dying and established a fund that would support families in such instances, giving birth to the modern insurance industry. By the mid 20th century, in order to cope with natural and manmade disasters that had exhausted private insurance, Japan eliminated risk by creating a welfare state in which the government protected every citizen from any kind of casualty. The system remained viable for decades, but today is on the verge of collapse. In the mid 1970s, Chile followed the teachings of economist Milton Friedman to become the first of many nations to dismantle its welfare state and reassume risk to create growth. Another tool of wealth creation based on risk assessment - hedging on derivatives - emerged from Chicago beginning in 1874 and has led to the creation of great fortunes by financers such as George Soros and to the downfall of firms like AIG.

Miss Israel requires a bathing suit competition, but to appear that way in public would disgrace her family and even put her in danger from those who would rather see her dead than see the community dishonored. "Contestant No. 2" follows Fares and her family as they navigate the boundaries of traditional values while she tries to reach her dream.

Massive die-offs, first reported in November of 2006, are now the subject of international emergency research, as scientists race to discover the cause of this ecological disaster. Could it be a disease? Or is it caused by pesticides, genetically modified foods or the radiation from cell phone towers? Whatever is happening, we must solve the mystery soon and correct the problem or face unimaginable consequences.

8:00 Antiques Roadshow Fame and Fortune What better way to cap ANTIQUES ROADSHOW's 10th anniversary season than with "Fame and Fortune?" This ROADSHOW special edition spotlights celebrities, big-shots and headliners through objects connected to their lives. "Fame and Fortune" features a stellar lineup of appraisals that give new meaning to the term "face value." Highlights include the first mask ever worn by Clayton Moore, in 1951, as television's Lone Ranger; a collection of photos and memorabilia documenting Marilyn Monroe's progression from 14-year-old Norma Jean Baker to screen siren; an eye-popping collection of memorabilia from the Ramones punk band, preserved by a friend of DeeDee Ramone; James Dean's 1948 high school junior yearbook, signed with his name and nickname, "Rack"; signed souvenir photos of Wild West legends Annie Oakley and Buffalo Bill; a reproduction plaster cast of the 1860 life mask of Abraham Lincoln, found in an attic; and a rare, mint-condition vintage set of Beatles nodder dolls, in their original box.

9:00 History Detectives Amelia Earhart Plane - John Ott believes he may have a piece of Amelia Earhart's airplane, the missing Lockheed L-10E Electra in which she made her ill-fated around-the-world attempt. Ott says his grandfather served as a flight mechanic on the airfield in Honolulu where Earhart had a mishap on her first attempt at the flight. She crashed during takeoff, destroying the landing gear and damaging the right wing. Ott says his grandfather took a piece of the plane that came off during the accident and sent it to his mother as a souvenir. HISTORY DETECTIVES host Elyse Luray tests the shape and the metal of the fragment against another Lockheed Electra, and checks the story against historic records to see if Ott truly has a piece of Earhart's plane.Fillmore Pardon - A Portland, Oregon, man inherited what looked to be a U.S. presidential pardon signed by Millard Fillmore in 1851.

Fillmore's pardon saved See-See-Sah-Mah's life, but why? HISTORY DETECTIVES host Tukufu Zuberi travels to Kansas City and St. Louis to retrace the crime and trial. Was See-See-Sah-Mah a murderer or a scapegoat? And why did this obscure case about an unknown Native American matter to a U.S. President?Boxcar Home - When a Lakewood, Colorado, couple found a new home, they noticed odd supports in the basement ceiling. The husband loves the railroads, so he immediately recognized the supports as railroad car rods. Could their home have been made from a boxcar?

10:00 Make 'em Laugh: The Funny Business of America Satire and Parody: Sock It to Me? Americans have always loved to make fun of the world around them using the slings and arrows of parody and satire. Whether it was Will Rogers, Johnny Carson, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert poking a finger in the eye of the government or Sid Caesar, Mel Brooks and the "Saturday Night Live" gang lampooning the latest blockbuster, generations have reveled in the anarchic tradition of mocking American life, politics and preoccupations.

Investigative author Jim Bamford probes the untold story of the elite corps of clandestine astronauts who were never told of the true purpose of their training program.

10:00 P.O.V. Hold Me Tight, Let Me Go Variety describes it as a film "mixing ferocity with tenderness, delicacy with tenacity" -- exactly like the unusual school it explores. In this program, one of Britain's leading documentary filmmakers takes a verite look at Oxford's Mulberry Bush School for emotionally disturbed children. Mulberry's heroically forbearing staff greets extreme, sometimes violent behavior with only consolation and gentle restraint. The unblinking camera captures an arduous process and a nearly unhinged environment, but it also records the daily dramas of troubled kids trying to survive and the moments of hope they achieve with Mulberry's clear-eyed staff.

11:30 Sharks: Stewards of the Reef SHARKS: STEWARDS OF THE REEF takes you on a voyage of underwater discovery, to explore tropical reefs and dive with sharks. This documentary describes the relationship between these top predators, to the oceans and coral reef ecosystems. In the footsteps of the Polynesian voyagers, our filmmaking team sailed thousands of miles to explore, dive and document the atolls of the Pacific. Through stunning footage of these remote island outposts, we take you on a journey of adventure that dispels the notion of sharks as vicious man-eaters. With this deeper appreciation, learn that sharks are important symbols in Polynesian culture and are an essential member of the coral reef ecosystem. Compelling interviews with leading marine biologists and conservationists reveal these driving forces behind the drastic reduction of many shark populations. Sharks: Stewards of the Reef, examines escalating threats to shark population including habitat destruction of reef ecosystems and over fishing that are causing Pacific reef shark populations to plummet. This film examines the most brutal assault threatening shark abundance: that of "finning" sharks for shark fin soup. (cc)

8:00 Time Team America Range Creek, Utah TIME TEAM AMERICA heads to the picturesque and remote canyons of southern Utah to examine what remains of the Fremont Indians, who vanished 1,000 years ago. The Fremont stashed their food in clay granaries high on the cliffs of these canyons. They entered their homes through a hole in the ceiling and decorated rock walls with mysterious petroglyphs that remain a mystery to this day. Utah's state archaeologist calls in TIME TEAM AMERICA to examine some of the most pristine and puzzling archaeology in the United States. The team probes the ground, scales the cliffs and learns what life was like in these canyons a thousand years ago.

9:00 Ascent of Money Planet Finance By the beginning of the 21st century, the systems of credit, insurance, bond trading and stock markets had transcended all national boundaries to create a truly global economic system, opening the door to unprecedented growth, but also worldwide instability in the event of one nation's downturn. In an effort to establish more stability following the Great Depression, the U.S. government's New Deal created a "property owning Democracy," a system of federally backed savings and loans that allowed more people than ever before to buy homes by offering low interest rates and long-term mortgages. Rampant inflation in the 1970s, however, led the government to remove regulations on interest rates and opened the door to a massive scandal in the 1980s and one of the country's worst economic crises. The vulnerabilities of America's property-based economy would be felt again 20 years later, in the current economic crisis that has shaken the world. The crisis threatens "Chimerica," the symbiotic relationship between China and America in which China's vast savings from the manufacturing of cheap goods has been lent to America to fuel growth. But at what point will America's battered economy lead China to cut off its line of credit? And how might America respond? The answer, Ferguson suggests, may be found in the history of the ascent of money.

10:00 Wide Angle Birth of a Surgeon An inspiring profile, Birth of a Surgeon travels to Mozambique where, for the first time, midwives are being trained in advanced life-saving surgery. Suffering from an acute shortage of doctors, Mozambique launched a bold grassroots initiative that has cut the maternal death rate in half. Starting in the capital city of Maputo, we follow the journey of student Emilia Cumbane through intensive medical classes and night shifts in the delivery ward as she learns to heal the life-threatening complications pregnant women encounter -from eclampsia to acute bleeding and ruptured wombs. Cumbane then parts from her husband and 6-year-old son to finish her training in a small rural clinic nearly 100 miles from the city. Working in a makeshift delivery room so crowded that women in labor sometimes share beds, Cumbane becomes one of the first midwives in the world granted the right to perform surgery. Even before her graduation, Cumbane performs her first life-saving Caesarian section by herself -illustrating how one woman can make a difference on the frontlines of public health in Africa. "It's a miracle to be a midwife!" says Cumbane, beaming, as the new mother holds her healthy baby in her arms. With more than half a million women dying each year during pregnancy or childbirth, the program is being hailed as a model solution offering new hope to developing countries worldwide.
