The Ticker: Hemmer in Iraq, Larry King Live, Blueprint America…

By Alissa Krinsky 

> FNC’s Bill Hemmer will report live this week from Iraq with an update on the state of the nation. It’s a return to the country for Hemmer, who spent the third anniversary of the war embedded with troops at Camp Fallujah, and covered the early days of the war while with CNN.

> It’s a night of TVNewsers on Larry King Live. Scheduled guests are CBS’s Bob Schieffer, NBC’s Tom Brokaw, former NBCer/current California First Lady Maria Shriver, and MSNBC regular Michael Smerconish. The Topic…what else? The election.

> Roads and bridges and airports — oh my! Our nation’s “crumbling infrastructure” is the subject of a five-part series beginning tonight on The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer. Reported by Senior Correspondent Ray Suarez, the series is part of the broader PBS initiative, Blueprint America.
