Kline maintains he just wants to enforce the law and protect children, but critics charge that he's attacking a woman's right to an abortion and putting more kids at risk. NOW examines Kline's policies, which have made Kansas ground-zero for the reproductive rights debate in America. The report looks at both sides of the issue and at the implications for the nation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QPTR Category: Agriculture ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOLA Code: MLNH 008314C1 Series Title: The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer Distributor: PBS Release Date: 7/20/2005 6:00:00 PM Length: 60 Segment: 00:08:55 Format: Interview/Discussion/Review; News Cultivating Controversy: Betty Ann Bowser provides a report on Minnesota farmers' differing opinions on the Central American Free Trade Agreement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QPTR Category: Alcohol, Drug Abuse ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOLA Code: MLNH 008318C1 Series Title: The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer Distributor: PBS Release Date: 7/26/2005 6:00:00 PM Length: 60 Segment: 00:15:45 Format: Interview/Discussion/Review; News Jim Lehrer speaks with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales about the controversy surrounding the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's name, recent terrorist attacks in London and Egypt and the spread of methamphetamines in the United States. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QPTR Category: American History/Biography ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOLA Code: AMMS 000404C3 Series Title: American Masters Program Title: Satchmo Distributor: PBS Release Date: 7/6/2005 8:00:00 PM Length: 90 Format: Documentary The name, personality and music of Louis Armstrong are known throughout the world.

NOLA Code: AMMS 001805K1 Series Title: American Masters Program Title: George Stevens: A Filmmaker's Journey Distributor: PBS Release Date: 7/13/2005 8:00:00 PM Length: 120 Format: Documentary In an astonishing filmography - including the classics Alice Adams, Annie Oakley, Swing Time, Gunga Din, Woman of the Year, A Place in the Sun, Shane, Giant, The Diary of Anne Frank, The Greatest Story Ever Told - George Stevens was director to everyone from Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy to Cary Grant, Alan Ladd, Elizabeth Taylor and Warren Beatty. His career began in the early 1920s as a Laurel and Hardy cameraman; he ultimately reigned as one of the most respected directors of all time. Always choosing quality over quantity, there is a timeless power to his work, equally meticulous whether it's the intricate footwork of Fred Astaire or the horrors of World War II - the landing at Normandy, the liberation of Paris, Allied troops arriving at Dachau - the only existing color footage of these events. This eloquent, evocative and entertaining biography of the famed producer-director was made by George Stevens Jr. with all the intimacy and insight of a son and protege, thoroughly exploring George Stevens the filmmaker and lovingly paying tribute to George Stevens the father, who died in 1975. NOLA Code: AMMS 001806K1 Series Title: American Masters Program Title: Bob Newhart: Unbuttoned Distributor: PBS Release Date: 7/20/2005 7:00:00 PM Length: 60 Format: Documentary In the late 1950s, a shy Chicago accountant who was trying to pick up some extra cash began doing local radio sketches. By 1960, The Button-Down Mind - recorded before he even stepped onto the stand-up circuit - hit gold as Album of the Year and won a Grammy for Best New Artist. Engaging the average guy in all of us, Bland Bob's deadpan and mildly nervous humor, exemplified in "The Driving Instructor," helped spearhead the explosion in American comedy - at clubs, on records and television variety shows - and by permanently pushing the boundaries of the sitcom genre. "The Bob Newhart Show" and, later, "Newhart," portraying the quintessential sane man caught in a world of zany characters gone mad, were among the most popular viewing staples throughout the 70s and 80s. Newhart still performs up to 40 stand-up dates a year and was recognized with a 2004 Emmy nomination for his first dramatic role on "ER." With a legacy particularly familiar today in the routines of Jerry Seinfeld and Ellen DeGeneres, his appeal was always seminal: Richard Pryor once bragged, "The first album I ever stole was Bob Newhart's!"

A letter addressed to the uncle from the Wright Aeronautical Corporation in 1927 thanks him for his "enthusiasm and outstanding cooperation" following "Captain Lindbergh's recent achievement," but makes no direct mention of his role in the event. The family legend leads HISTORY DETECTIVES to uncover the forgotten history of Lucky Lindy's legendary flight. NOLA Code: HIDE 000302W1 Series Title: History Detectives Distributor: PBS Release Date: 7/11/2005 8:00:00 PM Length: 60 Segment: 00:52:16 Format: Documentary Black Star Line Stock Certificates - A North Carolina woman recently found two Black Star Line stock certificates that had been purchased by her great grandfather in 1919. She didn't know the significance of the documents, but what looked like a Marcus Garvey signature on the papers saved them from the trashcan. Garvey founded the steamship company through his United Negro Improvement Association in 1919. Could this document be a rare artifact from Garvey's heyday? HISTORY DETECTIVES takes a closer look at this controversial and enigmatic figure who fought for economic self-reliance and political self- determination for African Americans. Mickey Mouse's Origin - 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. Mickey Mouse became the biggest fictional character moneymaker in the world, bringing in over $5.8 billion annually. A San Francisco toy collector, however, believes his small mouse figurine may turn the legend of Mickey on its ears. With a red label on its chest that reads "Micky" and a patent label on the bottom of one foot that says "Pat. Aug. 17, 1926," the figure appears to have been produced two years before Walt Disney created Mickey Mouse. HISTORY DETECTIVES traces the ancestry of America's most famous mouse and sheds light on some of the earliest bare-knuckle business fights in the toy industry.

FOULSTON: THE CREATION OF A MINOR'S RIGHT TO PRIVACY AND A NEW PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION STANDARD INTRODUCTION Forty-six percent of teens aged fifteen to nineteen have had sex at least once.' This startling statistic raises the question of how the state, which has an interest in protecting its youth, should deal with underage sex. Some people argue for promoting abstinence, others argue for pro- viding contraceptives; some argue for education in schools, others for parental education. There are a variety of ways to deal with the problem, and some are more controversial than others. Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline found one of the most controversial ways to protect teenagers from the harms of sex, implemented it in an attorney general opinion, and faced the inevitable public critique and lawsuits over his choice of protection.

  • Teacher Attrition and Retention
    THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK HON. GIFFORD MILLER SPEAKER A staff report of the New York City Council Investigation Division on Teacher Attrition and Retention to Members of the Committee on Oversight and Investigations Hon. Eric Gioia, Chair Hon. Tracy Boyland Hon. Miguel Martinez Hon. John C. Liu Hon. Peter Vallone, Jr. New York City Council Investigation Division EXECUTIVE SUMMARY New York City faces a “brain drain” in our City’s schools; a staffing crisis looms on the horizon as New York City public school teachers retire or leave the system at alarming rates. A report by the New York City Council Investigation Division (CID) shows that over 70% of the most experienced NYC public school teachers are likely to retire within the next two years, while more than 25% of mid-career teachers and nearly 30% of newer teachers say it is likely that they will leave the system within the next three years—potentially creating as many as 30,000 vacancies in the City’s classrooms in that time. There are currently over 80,000 teachers in New York City’s public school system.i In NYC, the two-year attrition rate for teachers is 25%, with 18% of teachers leaving in the first year—while the national rate is only ten percent.ii To find out how many teachers are thinking of leaving the school system and possible reasons why, CID investigators, with the assistance of UFT staff members, conducted a telephone survey of 2,781 teachers currently employed by the DOE. Respondents, who were randomly selected, were called during the weeks of April 26 and May 3, 2004.

  • Remarks by Rupert Murdoch Accepting the Media Institute's
    Remarks by Rupert Murdoch Accepting The Media Institute’s American Horizon Award October 6, 2010 Thank you for those gracious words, Joel. Many of you know Joel from his days in Washington. Some of you are even reporters. Let me tell you: There are many stories to be written about the miracles Joel has been performing for the New York City school system. This is a man who works day and night for one goal: that every child who enters a New York City public school will leave with a solid education – and a fair shot at the American Dream. So I ask you, please join me in toasting a man for all seasons … Joel Klein. I also want to congratulate Kyle McSlarrow. In his work for National Freedom of Speech Week, Kyle reminds us that the Founders made freedom of the press first for a reason. In his work for cable television, he reminds us why property rights are vital for keeping the press free and independent. So again, let’s give a good man a big thank you. Finally I’d like to acknowledge Meredith Attwell Baker. Commissioner Baker is one of the brightest people to sit on the FCC – and tonight we can see why. It’s refreshing to have in government someone who recognizes that the first protection for a free press is limited government. Meredith, thank you for your wise words – and thank you for your good work. I also want to thank The Media Institute. Every day, you advance three principles essential for a healthy media – freedom … competition … and excellence.
