Thank you for coming to the Ninth An- nual Sentinel for Health Awards ceremony and panel discussion. My name is Neal Baer, I am the co-chair of Hollywood, Health & Soci- ety (HH&S), and I know all of you writers here tonight know about HH&S because you use their services wisely and well. It’s really important, as we all know, to get accurate health information to our viewing audience, and tonight we’re honoring all of you nomi- nees for the great work that you’ve done, and I want to thank you. Patrick Verrone is the co-chair of HH&S, and he can’t be here tonight because he’s, of course, out picketing. I think he really is lying in the street working with hotel workers at the Hilton Hotel, so he cannot be here. I want to take this opportunity to introduce you to the Director of the USC Norman Lear Center. His namesake is right over there [points to Norman Lear], and we have him to thank for all of this. And that’s where Hollywood, Health & Society is located. So please join me in welcoming Marty Kaplan. Marty Kaplan: Thank you, and thank

  • A Political Interpretation of Plato's Protagoras and Gorgias
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Self-Deception and the City: A Political Interpretation of Plato’s Protagoras and Gorgias A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Philosophy Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy by Mary Elizabeth Halper Washington, D.C. 2019 Self-Deception and the City: A Political Interpretation of Plato’s Protagoras and Gorgias Mary Elizabeth Halper, Ph.D. Director: V. Bradley Lewis, Ph.D. Sophistry and rhetoric possess the disturbing power to appear to be precisely what they under- mine. Sophistry passes itself off as education even as it subverts genuine ethical and intellectual formation; rhetoric looks like a particularly compelling form of communication even as it sub- verts the possibility of seeking truth in speech. This dissertation begins with the claim that Plato wrote his Protagoras and Gorgias to treat of this disturbing power and its political consequences. I argue that the Protagoras and the Gorgias, as representative treatments of sophistry and rhetoric, should be read together in order to gain insight into the genuine art of politics, of which sophistry and rhetoric together form a subversive imitation. First I undertake an exegesis of the Protagoras and the Gorgias, both as individual dialogues and as a composite whole. Then I present systematic and philosophical arguments to support my central thesis, which emerges from my interpreta- tions and is supported by my thematic investigations. This thesis asserts that self-deception isan inherent feature of political communities, whereby political communities both must rely on the efficacy of appearance and cannot acknowledge this very reliance.

  • Shonda Rhimes
    YEAR OF How to Dance It Out, Stand in the Sun and Be Your Own Person SHONDA RHIMES READING GROUP GUIDE INTRODUCTION With three hit shows on television and three children at home, the uber-talented Shonda Rhimes had lots of good reasons to say NO when an unexpected invitation arrived. Hollywood party? No. Speaking engagement? No. Media appearances? No. And there was the side benefit of saying No for an introvert like Shonda: nothing new to fear. Then Shonda’s sister dropped a grenade on Shonda’s seemingly safe, happy life: “You never say yes to anything.” These words stuck in Shonda’s brain and prompted her to challenge herself: for one year, say yes to everything. Say YES to the unexpected invitations that come your way. Say YES to the things that scare you. Shonda reluctantly set out—and the results of her hard-won, yearlong journey are nothing short of transformative. In Year of Yes, Shonda Rhimes chronicles the powerful impact saying yes had on every aspect of her life—and how we can all change our lives with the power of YES. This reading group guide for Year of Yes includes an introduction, discussion questions, and ideas for enhancing your book club. The suggested questions are intended to help your reading group find new and interesting angles and topics for your discussion. We hope that these ideas will enrich your conversation and increase your enjoyment of the book. yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes QUESTIONS & TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION 1. Shonda Rhimes has spent her entire life “making stuff up” and was lucky enough to make a career doing something she loves that comes naturally to her: writing fiction.
