Category: American History/Biography NOLA: AMMS 001810E Series Title: American Masters Episode Title: Bob Dylan: No Direction Home Version: SD-Stacked Length: 90 Airdate: 7/5/2006 8:00:00 PM Service: PBS Format: Documentary Bob Dylan participates for the first time in an exclusive, full-length film biography. From his explosive arrival on the downtown New York City scene in 1961 - with a raspy voice, pounding guitar and stunning lyrics - through his near-fatal motorcycle accident in Woodstock in 1966, no one had more of an impact and no one changed the landscape of contemporary music more profoundly. Private, almost reclusive, disdainful of customary forms of publicity, Dylan has now agreed to make an appearance in his own story, illuminated in particular by this remarkable five-year period. Directed by Martin Scorsese, this intimate and incomparable film includes an archive of never-before-seen footage from childhood, from the road and from backstage, as well as unreleased interviews conducted over the past 15 years with other seminal figures from those times - some of whom, like Allan Ginsberg, are long dead. And, Dylan brings the rights to his legendary music with him - "Blowin' in the Wind," "Like a Rolling Stone," "Don't Think Twice," "Mr. Tambourine Man," "It Ain't Me Babe," "Just Like a Woman," "Positively 4th Street," "The Times They Are A-Changin'" - and on and on. Category: American History/Biography NOLA: AMMS 001903 Series Title: American Masters Episode Title: Woody Guthrie: Ain't Got No Home Version: SD-Embedded Promo Length: 90 Airdate: 7/12/2006 8:00:00 PM Service: PBS Format: Documentary Segment Length: 01:26:46 Essentially every American who has listened to the radio, or gone to summer camp, knows Woody's This Land is Your Land. The nation's signature folk singer/song-writer, Woody's music has been recorded by everyone from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to the Irish rock band U2. Originally blowing out of the Dust Bowl in 1930s Depression Era America, he blended vernacular, rural music and populism to give voice to millions of downtrodden citizens. Woody's prolific music, poetry and prose were politically leftist, uniquely patriotic, and always inspirational. He joined music with traditional oral history and was central to generations of folk music revival. His is a complex story filled with frenetic creative energy and a treasure trove of cultural history - as well as personal imperfections and profound family tragedy. Category: American History/Biography NOLA: HIDE 000404W Series Title: History Detectives Version: SD-Stacked Length: 60 Airdate: 7/10/2006 8:00:00 PM Service: PBS Segment Length: 00:56:46 A contributor in Aiken, South Carolina owns a remarkable collection of wartime home front memorabilia, including a pair of mysterious $5 certificates titled "Brethren Service Committee. The certificates are dated 1943 and state that the contribution is intended as an "alternate service to war. History Detectives heads to Pennsylvania and Maryland to gain a deeper understanding of religious and moral objection to military service. A South Carolina man has a beautiful eight-volume set of Edward Gibbon's "History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" that he acquired at a local library sale in Edgefield, South Carolina. The volumes are dated 1789 and are inscribed with the signature John Calhoun. The contributor suspects the books belonged to John C. Calhoun, the 19th-Century American political giant and intellectual architect of the Confederacy. History Detectives heads to South Carolina to uncover whether the books in question shaped the thinking of a politician who was nicknamed the "cast-iron man" for his staunch determination to defend the causes in which he believed. Popular history has it that Mickey Mouse was born from a drawing sketched on a napkin by Walt Disney during a train ride from New York to Los Angeles in 1928. A San Francisco toy collector, however, believes his small mouse figurine may turn the legend of Mickey on its ears. History Detectives heads to California, New York and Pennsylvania to trace the ancestry of America's most famous mouse and shed light on the bare-knuckle business fights in the toy industry.

It is a tale of exploitation and preservation and the changing nature of love in America - of the way man has related to Nature over centuries. Category: American History/Biography NOLA: AMMS 001802 Series Title: American Masters Episode Title: James Dean: Sense Memories Version: SD-Base Length: 60 Airdate: 7/19/2006 9:00:00 PM Service: PBS Format: Documentary James Dean has long survived his brief 24 years. September and October 2005 mark the 50th anniversary of both Dean's fatal automobile accident and the release of the film with which he is forever identified, "Rebel Without a Cause." A cinema figure of such iconic and mythic dimensions, it is said of Dean that he didn't just change the way people acted, he changed the way people lived. He was an original; he was a natural. Synonymous with adolescent angst, he also redefined the American male ideal, making vulnerable sexy and alienation desirable. There are only three films to his legacy - East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause and Giant - crafted with three seminal directors, Elia Kazan and Nicholas Ray and George Stevens. Reality and art are closely linked in Dean and are seamlessly woven in this documentary - his film personae are all misfits, consummate outsiders, characters in search of identity and meaning, who echo the themes of loss and abandonment in his own life experience. Category: American History/Biography NOLA: HIDE 000405W Series Title: History Detectives Version: SD-Stacked Length: 60 Airdate: 7/17/2006 8:00:00 PM Service: PBS Format: Other The Detectives venture to Texas and Washington, DC, to examine the virulence and desperation of the Japanese suicide attacks that led up to one of the greatest sea disasters in U.S.

We have had some great programs so far this year and March and April should continue the trend. I thanked Kermit for attending our February meeting and giving a great presentation. It was an hour plus each way for him. What sounds like a lot but not when you consider he covers three states! I would like to thank Sharon Gunderson, KA9IIT, for stepping up to fill the vacant Director position.

    Press Contacts: Chelsey Saatkamp, WNET, 212-560-4905, [email protected] Websites: http://www.pbs.org/secrets , http://www.facebook.com/SecretsoftheDead , @secretspbs #SecretsDeadPBS Secrets of the Dead: Hannibal in the Alps Premieres Tuesday, April 10 at 8-9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings) Streams April 11 via pbs.org/secrets and PBS apps Synopsis Hannibal, one of history’s most famous generals, achieved what the Romans thought to be impossible. With a vast army of 30,000 troops, 15,000 horses and 37 war elephants, he crossed the mighty Alps in only 16 days to launch an attack on Rome from the north. For more than 2,000 years, nobody has been able to prove which of the four possible routes Hannibal took across the Alps, and no physical evidence of Hannibal’s army has ever been found…until now. In Secrets of the Dead: Hannibal in the Alps , a team of experts – explorers, archaeologists, and scientists - combine state-of-the-art technology, ancient texts, and a recreation of the route itself to prove conclusively where Hannibal’s army made it across the Alps - and exactly how and where he did it. Notable Talent: Dr. Eve MacDonald, historian and Hannibal expert Dr. Tori Herridge, elephant expert Bill Mahaney, lead scientist and geologist Stephanie Carter, Secrets of the Dead executive producer Noteworthy Facts • The famous crossing of the Alps occurred in 218 BC, a period when Carthage and Rome were competing for world dominance. Hannibal traversed the mountains-- once thought uncrossable--with a force of more than 30,000 soldiers, 15,000 cavalry and most famous of all - 37 elephants.

  • Social Security
    Downloaded from www.RawStory.com January 27, 2005 Dear Republican Colleague: As we begin the 109th Congress, we look ahead, poised to address one of the most important issues facing our seniors of today and our generations of tomorrow: Social Security. Social Security has been one of the greatest successes of our government, but the program was designed for a different world than the one we live in today. For today's generation of senior citizens, the system is strong and fiscally sound. But for the younger workers of tomorrow, the system remains a topic of increasing uncertainty. One of the tests of leadership is to confront problems before they become a crisis. Our job here in Washington is to solve problems, not pass them on to future lawmakers and future generations, and the time to confront this problem is now. The President has made strengthening Social Security a top priority, and Congress hopes to follow his lead ensuring that adequate benefits are in place for our children and our grandchildren. Please find the enclosed information to help you communicate an effective and consistent message on the problems facing the Social Security system. By staying informed, we will remain better armed to beat back opponents of meaningful change. Though this will not be an easy task, Americans expect action -- keeping the promise of Social Security far into the future and giving millions of seniors—today and tomorrow—the dignity, security, and peace of mind they deserve. Sincerely, Deborah Pryce, Chairman Rick Santorum, Chairman House Republican Conference Senate Republican Conference Downloaded from www.RawStory.com Table of Contents Talking Points……………………………………………………...…1 Communicating Social Security Reform..……………………………3 Time for A Better Deal……………………………………………….6 Social Security – Polling Update…………………………………..
