Summary Program #740 : "Title: Lost in the city "Edward P. Jones won the Pulitzer-Prize for his novel 'The Known World.' In this collection of short stories, he writes of the Washington of his youth -- a city whose African-American community lived at the margin of political power; gut enjoyed lives of rich, dramatic complexity. The stories reveal -- through individual character -- a colorful tapestry of greed and piety, devotion and violence."--Track sheet.
Program #729 : "Title: Gandhi in America "Mahatma Gandhi left the world a profound doctrine of non-violent techniques for achieving social change. All of his ideas were set upon this inevitable improvement of societies resulting from self-improvement of individual citizens. And these efforts were centered on the proclamation of truth and the pursuit of justice. Gandhian ideals influence many nations. Here, Srimati Kamala discusses the confluence of Gandhi's influence and the ideals of American society."--Track sheet.
Commentary #179 : "Title: We should be thankful the House and Senate are different. With the Senate preparing to take up the Supreme Court nomination of John Roberts, its difference with the more partisan House are coming into sharp relief. Former Congressman Lee Hamilton explains why We should be thankful the House and Senate are different."--Track sheet.
Commentary #180 : Title: What we're fighting. We face a phenomenon that melds religion with politics, ideological fervor and calculated goals. Success means seeing that the worst attacks are prevented, the extremists are denied their goals, civilization prevails over disorder, and freedom proves more powerful than fear.-- Summarized from the spoken recording.
