SUMMARY:Foreign Affairs Discussion Group: Good News Around the World
DESCRIPTION:Bad news dominates the headlines these days\, from wars to natural disasters. While we can’t ignore the bad news–and the media seems to relish in delivering it–we can choose to look also at the positives. The world has seen major advances in many areas\, including health care\, environmental protection\, reduced global poverty\, literacy gains\, and curbs in population growth. We’ll discuss why our bias for bad news keeps us from appreciating the progress achieved and hinders our abilities to adapt to and even reverse many of the problems we face.

SUMMARY:Jess Velona presents Vietnam and the Road to Watergate: Lessons from the Johnson and Nixon Tapes
DESCRIPTION:Key decisions about the Vietnam War were made in a single room where most of the conversations were recorded.  In this 2-session class\, Jess Velona uses tapes rarely heard before to explore this window into history. You’ll listen toturning points such as the Gulf of Tonkin resolution\, Johnson’s tortured decision to escalate the war\, his dismissal of antiwar protesters as “mentally diseased\,” and his belated recognition that his presidency had been destroyed. You’ll listen along when Johnson discovers\, at the end of the 1968 campaign\, that his new bid for peace is being sabotaged by candidate Nixon himself.  Once Nixon takes office\, explore his struggle to contain the wave of protests set off by the invasion of Cambodia and his shock of the Pentagon Papers leak.

SUMMARY:Verve Book Club: Shanda by Letty Cottin Pogrebin
DESCRIPTION:The word “shanda” is defined as shame or disgrace in Yiddish. In her astonishingly candid memoir\, author\, activist\, and Ms. magazine founder Letty Cottin Pogrebin seeks to understand the role of shame and secrecy in a family of devout Jewish immigrants whose social status — in America and even among one another — required the calculated concealment of a number of uncomfortable truths. Beginning with her own long-suppressed secret\, the story spirals through the hidden lives of her parents and relatives—revealing the truth about their origins\, personal traumas\, marital misery\, abandoned children\, religious transgressions\, sexual identity\, radical politics\, and illnesses.
