[laughter] >> i met the other three. sorry, i wasn't trying -- ledges coming over, i was thinking about the point that alice made about sanford is where zora was from. and thinking about the way in which zora was disrespected among a lot of the black writers from being a woman who revealed the lives of black people as they were, and then i was thinking about trayvon's murder and the way in which it has pierced avail of much of the society that hides a lot of what happens to everyday black people. that murder has opened that they'll, and will people like to see beyond it see that, how regular this is, this ain't no isolated incident, and can they see all of that. and i wonder, is there a connection there between that work that zora did to reflect everyday black people and doing it from a fema perspective, that was a good thing that a lot of the men especially for writing it didn't like. because a lot of the men had some trouble fashioning women characters in their art that were not real. i've got some other problems with

>> thank goodness we have lucy here. yay lucy! >> that's right. [ applause ] >> should we give her -- we need give her a microphone? >> i think my microphone is on now. i wanted to say you would think of beer as being the overall arcing term for that fermented beverage, and then under very close to it, though, is ale because for the longest time beer that was consumed was the top fermenting ale. and so beer and ale were sort of synonymous. as other forms of fermentation through cultured yeast became part of the practice in brewing, and brewing became more commercialized and offered more beer styles, now you see beers that are wild fermented with variations that include -- >> free range fermentation. >> exactly. and those are the -- some of the belgian styles. and wild yeast beers, sour ales that are now being brewed and barrel aged a lot in the united states. then you also have you know, the various substyles that then become attempts to brand a beer and attempts by a commercial brewer to make their style uniquely theirs through t

she and lucy send it to the white house carpentry shop to be blown up. turned out the daughters of the american revolution were coming to the white house the next day, and president nixon, not knowing what was going on, had run into the secretary general of the der and said oh, listen, why don't you come early. you can come upstairs to the second floor. we'll show you around the private quarters. so cut to the picture of mrs. nixon and her social secretary getting off the elevator on the second floor, walking down the hall striding with the blowup doll between them trying to find the best place to -- to put it. they finally decided that the queen's room would be ideal, and it was stashed in the bathtub, and they left, and -- and that's the end of the story. we don't know -- we don't know what happened, but needless to say, that's the kind of history you don't read in the textbooks. and every one of these women, i'm not sure they have stories about blowup dolls, but they certainly do have uniquely personal history. bess abell, can you tell us something ab

"the odd couple." you write about it in the book. >> i had done another show which was before its time, very hip and died. then i tried movies. i did not direct them but i wrote and produced. i was at a loss. they said, listen, we have "the odd couple" at paramount. you want to come and write it? we did not give him a great deal on the tv rights. they had put up the money for his play but not tv. we came in an

public but why well i'm joined now by lucy steigerwald associate editor for reason magazine and lucy we should mention this is actually a bipartisan effort this is texas republican max thornberry washington democrat adam smith who who put this together why on earth should the government be able to use propaganda well i mean every every awful piece of legislation is invariably bipartisan disappointing because smith is the one who also helped congressman amash try to stop indefinite detainment which is also the awful part of the n.d.a. . i mean propaganda you know government is like anything else they're trying to tell us what a good job they're doing and you know it works to some extent well i mean to what extent though because if it's the pentagon and spending four billion dollars a year just on you know their propaganda effort if it hasn't you know captured the hearts and minds of people in afghanistan because that's not what i usually hear is going on in those countries that we've invaded where is this propaganda that we spend so much money on working. that's a good question i mean

lucy carter has been noted in the virginia theater as one of those guide scouts and spies, but one of the top guide scouts and spies, man or woman, in the civil war was none other than harriet tubman. she would go down to the department of south, some time in the spring or early summer of 1862. she would go behind enemy lines and establish her relationships. i'm going to refer to it as captain tubman since i did that earlier. and captain tubman in june of 1862 would lead or -- would lead a raid of 300 men from the second south carolina infantry of african descent. she would lead this raid of men, 300 men down by the river. the boston commoner would note it was led by a black woman. they don't say it's harriet tubman in the article, but they talk about how it delivered an effective blow. the -- it's illustrated, they don't mention that it was for tubman. they don't mention the woman at all. but they give a report of how successful. over 800 enslaved persons liberated. the rice plantation infrastructure that are destroyed. highly successful raids led by harriet tubman in june of 1863. g

lucy, the real lucille o ball. she was pregnant and decided she would go and have her baby as part of the show. right? so she would go to the hospital and you can imagine if you saw the show, all the chaos and she goes to the hospital. 44 million people watched that. half of that watched the president being inaugurated. so what say praisers? it's entertainment. that's what americans are like. they have the luxury to not have to always worry about politics all the time. this is fine. we know that television some advertisers and certainly television are getting worried and some cities definitely worried. the milton burl show. so many people would go to the bathroom at a commercial break that water pressure would fall in some cities. start warning people. could you hold it in or go before? this was a sensation television and available and accessible to everybody. it wasn't elitist at all. finally, talk about a conformist culture. james dean or marlon brando. marilyn monroe, a sex object, but she moves the boundaries o

in 2004, when lucy perez pre- purchased a burial plot at mt.etery in chicago for $2,500, she says the salesman told her she'd paid for everything, and she believed him. but when her grandson died unexpectedly six years later, she was told the cemetery would not bury him unless she paid an additional $2,550 fee for digging the grave and covering it back up. that was a month's salary for lucy and more than she paid for the plot itself. so, they were charging you $2,500, or about $2,500, for... >> lucy perez: $2,500 to take out dirt and put it back in. >> cooper: did you think about not paying? >> perez: we did. we started thinking about maybe going to see a lawyer and stuff because it didn't sound right. but we were grieving. you know, we had to get my grandson buried. >> cooper: so, even though you... you sensed you were being ripped off... >> perez: right. >> cooper: ...you had... >> perez: we had no choice. >> cooper: mt. olive cemetery may look like a local operation, but since 2006, it's been owned by service corporation international, or s.
