SATURDAY, MARCH 8
6AM ET
HEADLINERS & LEGENDS: BRUCE WILLIS
Bruce Willis stunned Hollywood when he successfully jumped from a TV sitcom to movie
royalty. He gained international celebrity and all that goes with it - the money, the
fame and a very public divorce from wife Demi Moore. For this hero of box office
blockbusters, the road to superstardom was long. See how this Manhattan bartender
moonlighted his way straight to the top.

MSNBC REPORTS: THE NEXT WAR
We call it 9/11 now, the day that changed the world and the day that brought the
future crashing into us. Suddenly we are facing a new kind of warfare - a hidden enemy
willing to strike anywhere, targeting civilians, using terror as its greatest weapon.
The U.S. has the most powerful war machine the world has ever seen, but it was created
to combat conventional forces. Now, the military is rapidly shifting to face a new
kind of danger that once seemed unimaginable. Whether it is in Iraq or against the
shifting cloud of terrorism - American troops are now being challenged as never
before. This is the story of what they're facing, and how well they're prepared to
face it.

MSNBC INVESTIGATES: CROSSROADS OF DEATH
It was one of the bloodiest battles of the ground war in Afghanistan, and in this
documentary we take you right into the thick of things at Mazar e-Sharif, all because
a documentary filmmaker was in the wrong place at the right time. What the filmmaker,
Dodge Billingsley, didn't know was that another American, John Walker Lindh - the man
who will soon come to be known as the American Taliban - was there as well. Nor does
Billingsley know that just yards from where he is standing lies the body of yet
another American , CIA agent Mike Spann.
Hosted by John Seigenthaler.

MSNBC INVESTIGATES: PHOENIX ICU
>From runny noses to brain tumors, nurses are healthcare heroes. Unfortunately, the

>often overlooked profession.
John Seigenthaler hosts.
5AM ET
MSNBC INVESTIGATES: MIRACLE BABIES
Witness brand new, never performed procedures that are helping doctors save the lives
of very sick babies -- some even before they are born! In this hour, we'll go inside
the world's leading fetal treatment center. We'll follow families who are facing the
greatest crisis of their lives and watch the drama that unfolds as they put the fate
of their babies in the hands of surgeons. It's a difficult time, filled with
