SUMMARY:Walter Cronkite: And That's The Way It Is
DESCRIPTION:2016 marks the 100th birthday of Walter Cronkite. In an era when the “mainstream media” is a convenient whipping boy for any politician upset by unfavorable coverage\, it is hard to imagine that at one time a network news anchorman was voted “the most trusted man in America.”  How times have changed! \nWalter Cronkite was one of the most widely read news reporters covering World War II.  Cronkite’s reporting on the war was read by millions of Americans and he was highly respected for his clear concise prose and great ability to explain complex events. After the end of the Second World War\, he came back and worked for CBS news. \nAlthough never one of Edward R Murrow’s “boys\,”  Cronkite quickly built a sterling reputation at CBS for superb reporting\, insightful analysis\, and calm\, steady work at the anchor booth.   When the network decided to go to a 30 minute nightly national newscast\, Walter Cronkite was the logical choice to be the anchorman. He was the man America turned to to learn about the space program\, political conventions\, elections\, Vietnam\, and\, most memorably\, the murder of Pres. John F. Kennedy. \nPlease join us for a fascinating and memorable multimedia presentation looking at the life and career of one of the most respected American broadcast journalists of all time. \n Please Note: There is a fee to attend this program and registration is required\, but easy. Please contact the venue for more information. \n

SUMMARY:Our First First Ladies
DESCRIPTION:The Founding Father never gave a moment’s thought to the role of the President wife. In fact\, the term “First Lay” itself would be unknown for fifty years! \nNonetheless\, the first women to hold the title of “First Lady”  were in amazing group of strong and dedicated women! Martha Washington\, Abigail Adams and Dolley Madison\, in particular\, were vastly influential in ways the country did not yet recognize. They were very different one from another and each added something unique and wonderful to the national experience. Beginning with Martha Washington we will trace the early years of the first ladies.

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.
