SUMMARY:Watergate Part Two
DESCRIPTION:History Vs. The Movies: Watergate \nWatergate Part Two \nWatergate was the largest and most frightening presidential scandal.  In this two-part multimedia presentation\, we will look at the roots of the crime and Richard Nixon’s Administration’s desperate attempts to cover it up. Featured will be the process of unraveled by journalists\, a judge\, and Congress. We will examine Woodward and Bernstein’s role\, as told in two films\, in the efforts to uncover the truth. (Part One: Crime And Coverup. Part Two: Investigation and Aftermath.) \nThe worst Presidential scandal of all time is a tale of Presidentialvanity and venality\, hubris\, and pettiness. The discovery of the so-called “third rate burglary” unraveled a conspiracy of immense proportions to subvert the American Constitution. This fascinating multimedia presentation will see how the nation faced and survived its worst Constitutional crisis.

SUMMARY:Richard Nixon (Part Two - PM)
DESCRIPTION:Richard Nixon is one of the most fascinating\, contradictory\, and enigmatic men ever to be president. \nParts of the Richard Nixon story are admirable and exciting.

Every time Nixon accomplished something extraordinary\, his own poor judgment or lack of restraint led him to embarrassment and\, ultimately\, disgrace. \nIn this fascinating multimedia presentation\, we will examine Richard Nixon’s biography. You’ll learn much more about this intriguing man. \nCOST \nI ask for a voluntary donation of $5.00. If you cannot afford it or feel my programs are not worth $5.00\, email me\, and I will waive your fee.

SUMMARY:The Marx Brothers
DESCRIPTION:The Marx Brothers were much\, much better than you remember! Their humor uplifted American spirits during the Depression and established new standards for comedy. The Marx Brothers’ combination of odd and unique talents\, including a harp-playing mime\, a Jewish comic with the worst Italian accent and the most distinctive piano-playing style\, and one of the greatest monologists of all time\, have delighted and baffled classic movie fans since the Depression. They performed alongside Lucille Ball\, sang music written by Irving Berlin and acted in comedies written by the great George S. Kaufmann\, yet many people dimly think of the as analogous to The Three Stooges. \nBut when you look deeper\, you see an amazing immigrant success story\, discover how American popular culture was changing\, and meet four remarkably different and interesting men whose films rank among the best comedies of all time. “Duck Soup” is rightly considered one of the greatest films ever made about politics. Both that film and “A Night At The Opera” are on the AFI list of the 100 best movies! Whether you are a long-time fan of the Marx Brothers\, a skeptic\, or completely unfamiliar with their work\, you are in for a treat with this fun multimedia presentation! \n

SUMMARY:The Mysterious Life Of Lee Harvey Oswald
DESCRIPTION:Lee Harvey Oswald was only 24 years when he was killed.  But his 24 years of life are as mysterious and controversial as the life of any 24-year-old ever! \n \nSo who was he? Was Lee Harvey Oswald a “semi-educated hillbilly with delusions of grandeur” (in the words of Stephen King) or a super smart\, highly trained CIA assassin\, or a Mafia hit man or simply a “patsy” who somehow didn’t know what he was doing? \nHis life had been such a failure that the few official documents about him are testaments to his existence as a loser. School report cards that indicate his unwillingness to comply with rules and his inability to stop committing acts of violence.  A string of firings from menial jobs.  Wife abuse.  Forced psychiatric care.  A wobbly military record. \nAnd then came 11/22/63. \n \nIn this absolutely riveting multimedia presentation we will use the actual documented record of Oswald’s life to help build a clear picture of a muddied man. \n

SUMMARY:Nellie Bly And Dorothy Kilgallen
DESCRIPTION:Nellie Bly and Dorothy Kilgallen are two of American history’s most groundbreaking female journalists. \n  \nNellie Bly fearlessly exposed the harsh\, unfair working conditions for mill workers in Pittsburgh\, drawing the ire of the wealthiest people in the city.  She served as her newspaper’s foreign correspondent in Mexico before being run out of the country for exposing governmental corruption\, risked her life going undercover in a “mental asylum” in New York\, and set a record for the fastest trip around the world – all before she was 25 years old! \nDorothy Kilgallen was the first woman journalist in American history to be a murder reporter\, breaking front-page scoop after scoop before she imitated Nellie Bly and competed in a race around the world -All before she was 25 years old.  She later became an important celebrity columnist\, broke important stories\, and was the first mainstream reporter to challenge the Warren Commission.  As she was preparing a book purporting to prove that the murder of President John F Kennedy was a conspiracy\, Dorothy Kilgallen died under very mysterious circumstances. \n  \nNellie Bly and Dorothy Kilgallen used the power of the press to try and help make society fairer.  And each opened the door for many more women to become journalists.  This multimedia presentation is exciting\, fascinating\, and even a little scary as we follow these women who risked their lives in pursuit of the truth.

SUMMARY:The Chicago Cubs - 1945 - 2016
DESCRIPTION:THIS PROGRAM IS FREE\, LIVE\, AND IN-PERSON! \nIn the first half of the 20th century\, the Cubs were one of the mightiest teams in all of baseball – a perennial pennant contender despite not winning the World Series since 1908. \nThe second half of baseball’s 20th century entrenched an indelible phrase in America’s national consciousness:  The Chicago Cubs were “lovable losers.” Despite having some absolutely great players – Ernie Banks\, Ron Santo\, Billy Williams\, Fergie Jenkins\, Greg Maddux\, Mark Grace\, Ryne Sandberg\, Kerry Wood\, Carlos Zambrano\, and Sammy Sosa – the Cubs rarely reached the postseason. More commonly\, they mostly endured one long losing season after another long losing season.  Empty bleachers\, a crumbling  Wrigley Field\, cheap ownership\, and terrible trades became the lasting hallmarks of the once mighty Chicago Cubs. Even when the Cubs would occasionally field a strong\, competitive team and begin to make a promising postseason run\, something always seemed to go wrong. The Cubs were still “lovable losers.” \nIn 1969\, a black cat running in front of Ron Santo seemed to symbolize the utter futility of the Cubs. A normally sure-handed first baseman let a ball go by him\, and the postseason was lost. A hapless fan wearing headphones reached for a foul ball\, and our World Series hopes were dashed. On and on it went. And then came 2015!  The arrival of some of the most talented prospects in baseball history created a team that was fun\, exciting\, and competitive. In 2016\, the Cubs finally won the World Series! \nThe long\, slow\, march of the Cubs – from the cheapness and racism of the Wrigley years\, to the boredom and inactivity of the years of ownership by the Chicago Tribune and by Sam Zell have given way to a unique feeling of hopefulness on the part of Cub fans.  A robust ownership team brought in the financial resources and personnel necessary to begin turning the Cubs into a perennial contender once again. In this multimedia presentation\, filled with fabulous film clips\, amazing anecdotes\, and nostalgic photos\, we will trace the confounding  Chicago Cubs from 1945 to 2016. \n  \nPlease note – This is a special event and you are invited!

SUMMARY:Richard Nixon
DESCRIPTION:Richard Nixon is one of the most fascinating\, contradictory\, and enigmatic men ever to be president. \nParts of his story are admirable and exciting. An aspect of Nixon’s background that should not be overlooked is his lifting himself up from a difficult upbringing to becoming a superb student. Despite his challenging roots\, he quickly established himself as a political power as a congressman and then a United States senator from California. \nThe rest of the Richard Nixon story is a study in contrasts. Every time Nixon accomplished something extraordinary\, his own poor judgment or lack of restraint\, lead him to embarrassment and ultimately disgrace. \nIn this fascinating multimedia presentation\, we will examine Richard Nixon’s biography. You’ll learn much more about this intriguing man.

SUMMARY:The Swinging\, Controversial Life Of Frank Sinatra - Part Two
DESCRIPTION:Frank Sinatra was one of the most charismatic and controversial American entertainers of all time. \nHe was one of a kind!  \nClick here to read about his amazing record on Civil Rights. \nIn this brand-new multimedia presentation\, I will trace the biography of Sinatra’s improbable life. We will look at his odd childhood as a skinny Italian street kid in working-class Hoboken\, New Jersey. His father was a prizefighter turned saloon keeper; his mother was a hard-drinking suffragette and political power in Hoboken who also made a living by performing abortions. We will look at Sinatra’s bumpy road to stardom. His career had so many ups and downs! Frank Sinatra seemed unstoppable from singing with the Harry James and Tommy Dorsey big bands to being the idol of the Bobby Sox brigades in the early 1940s. But when he avoided serving in World War II and musical tastes began to shift\, his career went into a steep decline that was only rescued by the help of the Mafia and his amazing performance in the movie “From Here To Eternity.” \n \nThe rest of the story is equally fascinating. It includes Swingin’ Sinatra\, the Rat Pack\, JFK\, Marilyn Monroe\, and civil rights. So are Lucky Luciano\, Sam Giancana\, Skinny D’Amato\, Jilly Rizzo\, and the Mafia. (Click here to read about how Peter Lawford connected Sinatra to JFK!)In this one-of-a-kind presentation filled with video clips\, amazing anecdotes\, and insightful analysis\, we will look at all sides of the one and only Chairman of the Board\, Frank Sinatra. \n

SUMMARY:Harding And Coolidge - Republican Presidents Of The 1920s
DESCRIPTION:After  World War I ended\, America turned away from the liberal progressive era of Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson and made a sharp turn toward conservatism. In 1920\, the Republicans nominated for president Warren G Harding\, an amiable Sen. from Ohio who promised “A return to normalcy.” For eight years\, the Republicans controlled the presidency\, Congress\, and the national debate. Within twelve fascinating years\, the economy had gone from boom to bust\, and the “Roaring Twenties” had given way to the Great Depression. The seemingly perennial GOP majority evaporated with the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt. \nWho were the Republican presidents whose pro-business\, low-tax\, conservative presidencies led to an explosion and then the demolition of the American economy? They were very dissimilar in their backgrounds\, each with a fascinating back story that you will learn about in this unique multimedia presentation. \nCOST \nI ask for a voluntary donation of $5.00.

SUMMARY:The Life Of Teddy Roosevelt (PM)
DESCRIPTION:THIS PROGRAM IS CANCELLED\n  \nTheodore Roosevelt – he loathed being called Teddy – was one of the most dynamic and impactful American presidents.  Often considered one of America’s greatest presidents\, he’s also one of the most idiosyncratic and complicated.  The life of Theodore Roosevelt is a study of contradictions.  Theodore Roosevelt was a warrior who was also a peacemaker\, a hunter\, who was a conservationist\, a wealthy man who attacked concentrated wealth\, and a Republican who governed as a progressive. \nThis fast and fascinating multimedia presentation (presented live on Zoom) is an excellent introduction to Teddy Roosevelt’s life. \nWe will explore the unique circumstances of his background\, his unique personality\, the defining events that shaped his philosophy\, and his unparalleled political influence and impact.
