All Things Considered:
these ram files can no longer be counted upon - NPR has ceased using .ram formats and uses smil instead
http://www.npr.org/ramfiles/atc/20030215.atc.01.ram
http://www.npr.org/ramfiles/atc/20030223.atc.06.ram
Must use the rtsp files according to the following format rules
rtsp://audio.npr.org/atc/20030307.atc.10.smil
rtsp://audio.npr.org/atc/20030314.atc.10.smil

BUT this formatseems to work only from 6 March 2003 until 3 April 2003 but NOT before or after)

see: Javascript code that NPR uses now to interpret its dates and formats to itself :
http://www.npr.org/include/javascript/jsfuncs.js

Also, any given day's ful program seems to be placed each day at:
	http://www.npr.org/atc3.smil
=========================================
NEW Format:

        http://www.npr.org/dmg/dmg.php?prgCode=WESAT&showDate=22-Feb-2003&segNum=11&mediaPref=RM

http://www.cbsnews.com/media/2003/02/25/video542030.rm
    can be derived from adding http://www.cbsnews.com to the string in the javascript "clip" sequence
javascript:vlaunch('clip=/media/2003/02/25/video542030.rm')
