Frank Stoltze, George K 20:00 Unfortunately, this is no joke.

Nancy Sidhu 10:00 Date Key 1 Synopsis Guest/Reporter Duration Since 1959, when Fidel Castro took power in Havana, the US has maintained a trade and travel embargo against Cuba. But that may finally be changing. The Obama Administration, along with a group of lawmakers, wants to start chipping away at the restrictions. The Administration supports lifting bans on travel and allowing Cuban-Americans to 4/1/09 POLI send remittances to their families. Is this the beginning of a rapprochement with Cuba? Larry gets the details. Tom Gjelten 30:00 President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama arrived in London Tuesday, the first stop on their eight-day, five-country trip through Europe. In that brief period of time, the President will attend the G-20 economic summit, a NATO summit, deliver a speech in France on the trans-Atlantic relationship, and give an address in Prague on weapons proliferation. He will also make his first stop in a Muslim nation, Turkey. How will Mr. Obama be received in these countries by their leaders and citizens? And what do Europeans think of his performance as President so 4/1/09 POLI far? Larry Mantle talks with reporters abroad. Andrew Hilton, Owen Ma 40:00 Spade and Archer' is a gritty mystery novel that focuses on the Private Detective Sam Spade.

From booze runners to murderers the book follows Spade through his 4/1/09 LIT early years. Larry Mantle talks to author Joe Gores about the noir behind his novel. Joe Gores 20:00 SAG and AFTRA announced they have reached a tentative new contract for commercials which includes more than a $36 million increase in wage rates and other payments, about $21 million in increased contributions to pension and health plans and calls for a payment structure for work made for the Internet and other new-media platforms. The agreement, which still must be approved by the joint SAG/AFTRA National Board and then ratified by membership, was reached in difficult negotiations, but marked a sea-change in the formerly contentious relationship between the 4/1/09 ENT two actors' unions as they worked closely to hammer out this deal with the advertisers Alex Ben Block 00:09 Indian businessman Nandan Nilekani once commented to Thomas Friedman, "Tom, the playing field is being leveled"—a remark that inspired Friedman to write The World is Flat, a big-think book about off shoring and globalization that sold millions. Now Nilekani has a book of his own, Imagining India, a definitive look at modern India, challenging traditional wisdom and exploring what is at stake in the world's largest democracy. Why is India's huge population also its greatest strength? How is information technology bringing the benefits of globalization? And the question on all our minds: in the showdown between the two emerging world powers—India and China—which 4/1/09 FOR country will come out on top? Nandan Nilekani 00:29 It's been one of the most contentious parts of the federal government's recent immigration policy: worksite raids targeting illegal immigrant employees, often resulting in dozens of detentions and enmity in the targeted immigrant communities. A byproduct of the Bush Administration's failure to secure broad immigration reform, the raids were deemed both inhumane by immigrant activists and necessary law enforcement by opponents of illegal immigration. Now the Department of Homeland Security is about to announce a change in policy that will shift the focus of these raids from the employees to the employers that hire illegal immigrants. Will the changes placate both sides of the 4/1/09 IMM debate? Xavier Becerra, Mark Kr 00:35 No, it's not an April Fools' prank: after more than a decade of work and $3.5 billion, engineers have completed the world's most powerful laser, capable of simulating the energy force of a hydrogen bomb and even the sun.

The timing of my election is particularly significant to me as we are celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. The LA84 Foundation is the legacy of those Games. As I reflect back to the 1984 Olympic Games, one word comes to mind: excellence. There is no better word to describe the manner in which the Games were organized and delivered by my board colleague, Peter V. Ueberroth, his management team, staff and thousands of volunteers. I recall the excellence displayed by the best athletes from around the world as they competed to earn Olympic medals.

This last is kind of inescapable given my best efforts to put theory into practice whenever and wherever possible. The two cannot and should not be inseparable, at least for anyone who claims to be even the most remotely involved in Cultural Studies. And yet, I know that this is the area where Cultural Studies fails most abjectly in living up to its claims and to its promise.

PATRIOTISM AND TAXATION: THE TAX COMPLIANCE IMPLICATIONS OF THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT Richard Lavoie* Given the rise of the tea party movement, which draws strength from the historical linkage between patriotism and tax protests in the United States, the role of patriotism as a general tax compliance factor is examined in light of the extant empirical evidence. The existing research suggests that patriotism may be a weaker tax compliance factor in the United States than it is elsewhere. In light of this possibility, the tea party movement has the potential to weaken this compliance factor even more.

  • Transnational Sports and Identities in Southern California and Mexico, 1930–1945
    Playing Across Borders: Transnational Sports and Identities in Southern California and Mexico, 1930–1945 JOSÉ M. ALAMILLO The author is a member of the Chicana/o studies program at California State University, Channel Islands. This article examines the local and transnational dimensions of sports in Southern California through the activities of the Mexican Athletic Association of South- ern California (MAASC) from the Great Depression to the end of World War II. This amateur athletic organization promoted sports in the barrios and colonias throughout Southern California and forged transnational ties with the Mexican government and its sports federation. MAASC and its related activities reflected two competing historical trajectories that have been subjects of debate in Chicano historiography. MAASC sports simultaneously reinvigorated transnational ties with Mexico that emphasized a México de afuera identity and contributed to the making of a Mexican American identity that connected immigrants to Southern California and American society in general. Ultimately, both impulses helped to instill a new political confidence among MAASC members to challenge the Los Angeles Department of Playground and Recreation’s paternalistic approach toward the Mexican community. José Arteaga was born in Baja California, Mexico, moved to Los Angeles during his teen years, and in 1921 teamed up with Lamberto Alvarez Gayou to form the first all-Mexican basket- ball team, “Bohemia.” Gayou eventually became the president of Mexico’s first sports federation, and Arteaga became a basketball player and coach in the city’s new amateur athletic association. Arteaga coached several teams, with only the best players chosen to play exhibition games in Mexico.

  • THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg
    THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg Shiny little platters. Not even five inches across. How could they possibly contain the soundtrack of four decades? How could the phone calls, the encounters, the danger, the desperation, the exhilaration and big, big laughs from two score years be compressed onto a handful of CDs? If you’ve lived with NPR, as so many of us have for so many years, you’ll be astonished at how many of these reports and conversations and reveries you remember—or how many come back to you (like familiar songs) after hearing just a few seconds of sound. And you’ll be amazed by how much you’ve missed—loyal as you are, you were too busy that day, or too distracted, or out of town, or giving birth (guess that falls under the “too distracted” category). Many of you have integrated NPR into your daily lives; you feel personally connected with it. NPR has gotten you through some fairly dramatic moments. Not just important historical events, but personal moments as well. I’ve been told that a woman’s terror during a CAT scan was tamed by the voice of Ira Flatow on Science Friday being piped into the dreaded scanner tube. So much of life is here. War, from the horrors of Vietnam to the brutalities that evanescent medium—they came to life, then disappeared. Now, of Iraq. Politics, from the intrigue of Watergate to the drama of the Anita on these CDs, all the extraordinary people and places and sounds Hill-Clarence Thomas controversy.

  • The Global Financial Crisis of 2008: the Role of Greed, Fear, and Oligarchs Cate Reavis
    09-093 Rev. March 16, 2012 The Global Financial Crisis of 2008: The Role of Greed, Fear, and Oligarchs Cate Reavis Free enterprise is always the right answer. The problem with it is that it ignores the human element. It does not take into account the complexities of human behavior.1 – Andrew W. Lo, Professor of Finance, MIT Sloan School of Management; Director, MIT Laboratory of Financial Engineering The problem in the financial sector today is not that a given firm might have enough market share to influence prices; it is that one firm or a small set of interconnected firms, by failing, can bring down the economy.2 – Simon Johnson, Professor of Entrepreneurship, MIT Sloan School of Management; Former Chief Economist, International Monetary Fund On October 9, 2007, the Dow Jones Industrial Average set a record by closing at 14,047. One year later, the Dow was just above 8,000, after dropping 21% in the first nine days of October 2008. Major stock markets in other countries had plunged alongside the Dow. Credit markets were nearing paralysis. Companies began to lay off workers in droves and were forced to put off capital investments. Individual consumers were being denied loans for mortgages and college tuition. After the nine-day U.S. stock market plunge, the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) had some sobering words: “Intensifying solvency concerns about a number of the largest U.S.-based and European financial institutions have pushed the global financial system to the brink of systemic meltdown.”3 1 Interview with the case writer, April 10, 2009.
