SUMMARY:World War I – 1914 to 1917 - Before The USA Landed "Over There"
DESCRIPTION:World War I – 1914 to 1917\n“I can predict with absolute certainty that within another generation there will be another world war if the nations of the world do not concert the method by which to prevent it.” Woodrow Wilson\, after the end of World War I\nThe Forgotten War?\n \n  \n2014 – 2018 marks the 100th anniversary of World War I. Somehow\, it seems longer ago than that. The sheer enormity of World War II eclipsed the “Great War.” Some historians have argued that\, in a sense\, World War II should not be seen as a separate war. It should merely be seen as an extension of World War I. This fast-paced multimedia presentation will trace the roots of World War I\, looking at the personalities and history behind the calamitous decision to go to war. \nWe will pay special attention to how the United States approached the growing conflict in Europe and how our policy shifted from isolationism to interventionism. The next two weeks will bring additional classes in which we will examine President Wilson and the United States’ involvement in combat. \n

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 how 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 essential faces of public broadcasting.  Quite a legacy for a woman who was neither French nor a chef! \n There was another long-secret side to Julia Child that she hid for many decades. \nIn 1943\, twenty years before her cooking and media skills became famous\, Julia Child served in America’s top-secret spy corps during World War II!  The fantastic Julia Child worked in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) – the predecessor to the Central Intelligence Agency! \n \nUtilizing a very high level of security clearance\, exceptional organizational skills\, and endless optimism and resourcefulness\, the former party girl from California served America as 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 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\, how America cooked and ate\, and had a lot of fun in everything she attempted! \n  \n  \n
