a harvey company founder teach in industrial arts in minneapolis, brought her into the one job in the early 1900's, to create the visuals of the indian building in albuquerque, new mexico. her birthday became the beginning of what we think of the santa fe style, which is taking native american art dominated american goods that are generally seen in various their homes and putting thousands of them in the same room to create a lush environment with the same stuff. everybody in santa fe decorate their house away. many people across the country do. she was later brought back to the interiors for everyone of their buildings. she was incredibly persnickety women, the cab drivers in kansas city particularly found her hilarious because she was given the the car and scream at him to go as fast as possible through she was in several well-known accidents in kansas city because she was so all over the taxicab drivers. but this is a woman who was a very model of a professional woman who had things she wanted to get done in her life and inspiration to generation after generation the female designe

in the 1980s i was teaching creative writing in minneapolis, minnesota.iter in that place in this time and what my relationship was between my riding and the political movements i had been involved with as well as my personal life because my work and fiction and poetry and creative nonfiction is vertically integrated between the world of political struggles and more intimate and risky stories about intimate relationships and family. i didn't know i had to give myself permission to write what i was writing and the way i needed to write it and to become portable and accept that you will see my commitment to the struggle. i was searching for mottos and voices that would give me permission to do what i was doing. i looked at two people i held in high esteem. one was james baldwin for the guidance of this. james baldwin gave me permission in a certain way when he had a dialogue in 1970 to that was recorded by the bbc, asking how could he go through the core of his personal life, so unflinchingly and risk the kind of fallout in relation and being misunderstood.

i spent several weeks in minneapolis reported the story. the question of home-grown terrorism is a new one for experts to wrestle with. in the years after september 11, we saw home-grown radicalization in europe. i think there was a lot of complacency on the part of american counter-terrorism fos, saying that we do not suffer from these sorts of problems. now, we are starting to see it. whether it is the tip of the iceberg -- i do not think these two are the only ones we will see. host: from twitter -- guest: that is a fantastic question. everyone is thinking about non- military means. i have been attempts to try to use a moderate cleric's against the taliban. the problem is this generational gap is changing the culture faster than and nato or any moderate cleric could change the culture. if a moderate cleric or a hardline cleric emerges tomorrow and denounces the taliban and suicide attacks, all of a sudden that guy is killed the next day. it is sending a message that you do not speak out against these guys. we have seen a race by the mili

i have been at the pauly, a unit in minneapolis. it is quite a traumatic thing to be there and see all of the toys for children that they have, because many of these veterans will be there for many months. they have children. they have to come and visit. i have also come away very impressed with some of the things they're doing. one example is, in minneapolis, the unit is a replica of an apartment. it has a refrigerator, stove, and folks get to practiced daily life before going out into the community to see if you can make a cup of coffee, get the ice cubes out of the ice cube tray. those are things to do when you do not f hands -- when you do not have hands. host: de think that is being -- do you think that is being transmitted to the u.s.? guest: what you have to keep in mind when you hear about something going wrong, you have to ask yourself "compared to what?" the va is a public institution. when anything happens, it is likely to get into the newspaper. these are not the kind of things that private-sector health system normally
