SUMMARY:Julia Child: Spy And Chef
DESCRIPTION:Julia Child: Spy And Chef\n \nIn 1963 Julia Child became the first national superstar chef on TV.! \nHer program “The French Chef” was so influential that the Smithsonian Institute features her kitchen\, intact\, as a permanent exhibit! Julia Child changed the way America thought about food\, became the first star of public broadcasting\, opened the doors for cooking on television\, and became one of the first and most important faces of public broadcasting. Quite a legacy for a woman who was neither French nor a chef! \n There was another side to Julia Child–one that the public knew little about.  In 1943\, twenty years before her cooking and media skills would make her famous\, Julia Child served in America’s top-secret spy corps during World War II!  The amazing Julia Child worked in the OSS\, \nJulia Child – In China WWII \nwhich was later to become the CIA. Utilizing a very high level of security clearance\, amazing organizational skills\, and endless optimism and resourcefulness\, the former party girl from California\, served America her nation. She worked at the right hand of “Wild Bill” Donovan\, the head of America’s foreign spies! Paul\, Julia Child\, moved from one dangerous overseas post to another with her husband\, serving our country before learning how to cook. \n  \nThe daring story of Julia Child in the OSS is only one of the delights in this unique\, funny\, and fascinating multimedia presentation! We will look at how she changed public television\, changed the way America cooked and ate – and how she had a whole lot of fun in everything she attempted! \nNOTE ON THE START TIME!!! The library is in New York and on eastern time. The program begins at 1 o’clock central time and 2 o’clock for those in the eastern time zone. \n  \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR FREE! \n

SUMMARY:The Election Of 1960
DESCRIPTION:The election of 1960 was one of the most dramatic elections in American history. Until the halted recount in the election of 2000\, it was the closest  Presidential election in our lifetimes.  This riveting multimedia presentation features amazing anecdotes\, entry insights\, and numerous fascinating film clips to help put this most momentous campaign into perspective. \nRichard M. Nixon was coming off of eight years serving as vice president to Dwight D. Eisenhower\, one of the most popular Republican presidents of all time. Nixon had experience in domestic and foreign policy and was a veteran of many tough campaigns. Still very young\, he offered a new face for the Republican Party’s future. He became the first sitting vice president to earn his party’s nomination since John C Breckenridge exactly 100 years earlier. \n  \nJohn F. Kennedy was only a few years younger than Richard Nixon\, whom he considered something of a friend. Kennedy was seen as a lightweight in the Senate\, according to the Democrat’s Majority Leader\, Lyndon Johnson. JFK was criticized for proposing no major legislation during his Senate tenure. \n Significantly\, John Kennedy often missed long stretches of time in the Senate due to surgeries and hospitalizations. However\, the Massachusetts senator was a war hero\, handsome\, charismatic\, and a best-selling author. He had to defeat several older and much better-known Democrats (including Adlai Stevenson\, Lyndon Johnson\, and Hubert Humphrey to earn the nomination. \nAnd then came the campaign for president! Nixon’s national reputation vs. Kennedy’s cool and charisma. With polls showing just a slight Nixon lead throughout the summer\, the two men agreed to something that had never happened before: a series of presidential debates. Those debates turned the course of the election and changed politics. They demonstrated the importance of television in future campaigns. Throw into the mix the rest of Martin Luther King Jr.\, Nixon’s phlebitis\, Kennedy’s mafia connections\, mystery votes in Illinois\, and odd campaign choices by Nixon\, and you have the makings of a fascinating campaign! \n  \n
