Story
Andre Agassi says he always hated tennis, even though it's what made him rich and famous. But maybe that's not surprising, considering how his father used to browbeat him into hitting 25-hundred balls a day when he was seven years old, and later sent him off to a tennis academy, which Agassi calls a "glorified prison camp." In this hour, we'll talk with Andre Agassi about the fine line between love and hate.

Atheists are finally coming out of the closet, and in some cases denouncing religion. Others still crave a sense of the sacred even though they don’t believe in God. Do atheists have something to learn from religion? Why do so many people call themselves "spiritual but not religious"? And why did bestselling novelist Anne Rice split very publicly with the Catholic Church?
