Here are some stories that Aaron is interested in getting scripts for.  He 
is also VERY INTERESTED in other story ideas so you should think seriously 
about stories you've already produced for past IMC news-hours as well as 
ones that you could produce from audio you already have.  Send 1-paragraph 
ideas to me ASAP and I'll forward them along.

Hi Sascah,
Sorry for not getting back to you immediately.

I picked out  four stories from the list you sent. They are below. I'll 
look for the police violence in Brazil first by Wednesday if possible, 
since it would be good to run it while Genoa is still fresh in people's 
minds. After that, we can touch base for the other stories.

Generally speaking, we are seeking stories along the lines of the migrant 
worker story you pitched. The changing face of Agriculture in the mid-west, 
etc. I believe you told me earlier that you were working on a story about 
consolidation in the dairy sector. That's a good story, too for us.

Best,
Aaron
