we're going to explore the work and the legacies of 3 such innovators, tom wolf, hassan, kind of funny, and gabrielle garcia, marquez, an american, a palestinian, and a colombian, all of whom started out his journalists. but went on to straddle the worlds of media, literature, politics and activist. their work spawned news genres of reporting, coining terms, such as new journalism, resistance, literature, magical realism. that's one of the reasons that in their day the reviews weren't all good. they still aren't largely because they're journalism, defied convention and categorization, but the years since have proven that they would inspire future generations to consider new ways of presenting new stories. we begin with a writer who saw in the world of fiction writing tools that journalists could use tom wolf with . i have no idea who coined the term, the new journalism, or even when it was coined at the time, the mid sixty's. one was aware only that, all of a sudden there was some sort of artistic excitement in journalism and that was a new thing in itself. it actually started an esqui

tom wolf was working for the herald tribune. and he had reported a story about custom made cars in california. and he ended up pitching the story instead to esquire magazine. oh, i was sent up there to cover the hot rod and custom car show by the new york herald tribune. and i brought back exactly the kind of story the, some land, the listing told them newspapers in america would have come up with a total newspaper is the kind people don't really buy to read, but just to have physically because they know it supports their own outlook on life, the told him story usually makes what is known as gentle fund of this. which is a way of saying, don't worry, these people are nothing. he couldn't write the piece. it was just a bunch of random paragraphs on the page. and that night he stayed up all night and wrote a letter to the editor explaining what he wanted the piece to say. he sent in the letter of the editor whose name was byron dove, all just chopped off the dear byron and published it as is through an orthodox newspaper reporting

i don't think tom wolfe could do that for joan dion to do that. writing with the hells angels took a bit of courage that not very many reporters have and hunter died out on that for the rest of his career. he got the kind of respect that sort of war correspondents get the cause he rode with the angels. first for a couple ofweeks. he wrote the article for the nation magazine . then he parlay that into a book deal and it became his first bestseller and then he rode with them for another year and at the end of that year was when he got stopped by some of the hells angels and i think in kind of a dispute is running a little bit fuzzy probably has to do with the fact that they thought theywere going to benefit directly from his story . they said he promised them a case of beer and he didn't pay up. he had another story but the point is that was how the book ended with his stomping. >> participatory journalism to the max. let's talk a little bit about the legendary area editors. warren hinkle again, ramparts . a very important scandal in and rolling sto

and i'm like tom wolfe. i'd say tom wolfe to me is i i you know, someone who got a lot of credit for very little he was more of a dandy. i think hunter was really got involved with what he wrote about. he got stumped by the hell's angels for god's right? yeah. yeah, that's really important. so, but he didn't generate that story. he he left national observer kind of, you know, sort of broke off his relationship with them. he was always a freelancer, but that was his main outlet. so he needed new outlets and so he he wrote a query letter really importuning carrie mcwilliams at the nation and they only paid $100 for an article. they barely pay more than that now, but i mean, you know, he was trying to make a living as a freelancer. and he said i'll you know take whatever you have and carry mcwilliam said why don't you write about the motorcycle gangs because the california state attorney general had just issued a report on them as a threat to plan order. and thompson said great and you're right. he was he went

i don't think tom wolfe could do that.riting with the hells angels took a a physical courage that t many reporters have. he got the kind of respect that war correspondents get because he rode with the angels first for a couple of weeks for nation magazine party parlay that into a book deal and it became his first bestseller. and then he rode with them for another year. and at the end of that year is when he got stopped by some of the hells angels and eight dispute which remains a little fuzzy. i probably has to do with the fact they thought their going to benefit directly from his story per the city promised them a keg of beer and he did not pay up. he had another story. the point is that is how the book ended. >> participatory journalism to the max. let's talk a little bit about the legendary bay area scanlon saying very important. there could be no hunter thompson young editorr of "rolling stone" you write about how important this editors were to him the kind of enterprising swashbuckling journalism the becomes gonzo jou

and i wanted to go for the same reason, tom wolfe was right steinbeck concluded you cannot go home again because home ceased to exist except in the mothballs of memory. still the mothballs of memory have their value steinbeck is worth remembering in her own time. the depression years are right turns on the struggles between liberals and conservatives over the role of the federal government that still dominate american politics for the government stepped in to help the nation's poor, hungry, sick on a scale never previously undertaken and spent more per capita in the west than any other region. the new deal programs were inspired, supported, and promoted by artists, musicians, actors and writers such as steinbeck who believes he had a moral responsibility to use his pen in the service of humanity. that purposeful alignment between progressive omissions and responsibility in the ancient commission worth emulating. in her own age moms by the displacement of millions of people globally went migrants and refugees are feared, dehumanize and demonize by some national, state, local leaders rathe

can include the image without telling you but some of the key themes that come out in that book by tom wolfewhich are important to think about this era is it is an era of back lash to the culture we talk about in the 60s in 70s, a pendulum swing, the collective radical progressive politics which defined that era and we both have on the level of government, austerity policies cutting social programming and public funding where it the same time a widespread i don't want to say acceptance, celebration of extravagance by individuals who can afford it. bonfire of the vanities is pointing out the hypocrisy but you might know the movie wall street, the phrase greed is good. all those images, fast cars, cocaine, excessive drugs, lifestyles of the rich and famous. that celebration of extreme wealth and social programs, historians understand it and a lot of economic, social, racial inequality. i to talk about the period through fitness, a time when gender inequality continues to be surprised by the fitness fascinations of the 1980s. morning in america is ronald reagan's presidential campaign slogan. i

this can by way of bipartisan legislation known as act 77 signed into law by governor tom wolf in 2019. act 77 to make the most significant changes to pennsylvania's election code in over 80 years. despite that, the 2020 election has been the subject of any unprecedented amount of litigation. there have been more than three dozen lawsuits here in pennsylvania, some of which are being litigated. we have persevered and just recently we experienced some significant legal victories. a few weeks ago, the pennsylvania supreme court upheld the constitutionality of act 77 and no excuse male in voting. just yesterday, the president judged three counties, each refused to cut undated ballots in the primary election to cap them by august 24 -- to count them by august 24. unfortunately, we also have seen an increase of threats against county and state officials and i am committed to protecting these front-line workers in our democracy. now, with only 79 days to go from the midterm election, pennsylvania finds itself still in the spotlight again with open races for governor and a seat in the u.s. se

a rendering of tom wolfe's famous book in new york city in the 19 80s. if you don't have a, book it is great novel. never been a better time to read it. but the protagonist, who is a wall street guy, fancies itself the master of the universe. he is married to a beautiful than white women. rich and he, i won't spoil, it but he gets into a car accident which in meshes him in an african american neighborhood in new york and the criminal system. it can point out a lot of the proxy and social inequality that exists in new york city. and i would say in other cities in the united states at that time. that's a very unsatisfying description of the movie, but i can include that image. some of the themes that come out in the book, by tumble, which are important to think about of this area, is the 19 80s is an area of backlash to that movement culture that we talked about in the 60s and 70s. a kind of pendulum swing against some of the collective, radical, progressive politics which defined that era. also a time where you both have on the level of government a auste

at.t yeah, while most were rightlyem horrified by the if not pennsylvania's democratic governor tom wolfe. fact, he sent a letter thato said how honored he was to support the event. remember,ne he's going to give s rachel levine and across the country in washington statee ,we found perhaps the most maddening story of the week on 80 year old grandmother was banned there from her ymca after demanding thatca a biological male leave a woman's locker room where little girls were undressing. addressing the port townsend city council last monday. here's how julie jamen, who's the band's senior citizen, described it happened in an effort by the city and the ymca to apply the new cultural r gender rules at mountain dew. coolol dressing, shower room facilities, women and children are being put at risk. my experience while showering after my swim was hearing a a man's voice in the women's dressing area and seeing a man in a women's swimsuit watching t little girls pulled down their bathing suits in order to use the toilets in the dressing room. i reacted by telling him to leave and the consequences

popular portrayals if you watch the right stuff that great film or read the even better book by tom wolfe. it's it's fantastic and yet glenn is kind of a two-dimensional figure. he's a boy scout. he's a sunday school teacher. he is that that kind of all american boy now all of that was true. he was actually a scout. he was actually a sunday school teacher he was as all american as as they got and at the same time it seemed to me that glenn never would have been able to achieve what he achieved there wasn't something more to the picture and so wonderfully for the historian you mentioned the archives the glen archives at ohio state glenn saved everything. i mean he saved his the papers that he wrote as a kid. he saved all of his high school papers. he saved all the ephemera that any historian ever want to get their hands on and and you can begin to sort of draw out a sense of john glenn both in his youth in particularly after as you his his diaries during world war ii his letters home from from the korean war and you get a sense of a more restless more ambitious more competitive john glenn

including a russian diplomat a russian diplomat also a number of a number of nazis and with tom the novelist thomas wolfe. i don't actually go into that. i mean to me it didn't have huge influence on on her father and sort of what his views were. it's incredibly interesting, but it's not necessarily relevant to the ambassadors. so i was criticized in a wall street journal review for i think they said sort of oddly he does not spend time and i didn't think it was odd at all. it's been well covered in in the book by by eric larson. and so i mentioned it only in passing. but it's it's an interesting part of its time. they're not out about it. thank you very much. so again, thank you all. if

last week, earlier i spoke to gregory wolf for a freelance journalist and founder of venezuela analysis dot com, who is convinced that americans dominance over le tom countries is waning. china is offering much better conditions in terms of its investment in terms of the deals. it's offering to latin america. and so it's making it a lot more interesting for the countries of latin america to switch towards china instead of the united states. and of course, the fact that the countries in latin america have has had social movements that have moved the government towards the left, basically with it, which are more critical of the united states. at the same time as china has become a much more viable trading and investment partner compared to the united states, the summit of the americas that took place in los angeles this year earlier this year was basically a big failure because lots of governments in latin america decided to boycott, their participation are refused to participate in that summit and to the u. s. essentially sabotaged its own summit, which was the 1st and over a decade in our, in on us soil. and so that was a very embarrassing situatio
