What’s Fair on the Air? by Hendershot, Heather Edition ILL, $23.99 The rise of right-wing broadcasting during the Cold War has been mostly forgotten today. But in the 1950s and ’60s you could turn on your radio any time of the day and listen to diatribes against communism, civil rights, the United Nations, fluoridation, federal income tax, Social Security, or JFK, as well as hosannas praising Barry Goldwater and Jesus Christ. Half a century before the rise of Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, these broadcasters bucked the FCC’s public interest mandate and created an alternate universe of right-wing political coverage, anticommunist sermons, and pro-business bluster.   A lively look back at this formative era, What’s Fair on the Air? charts the rise and fall of four of the most prominent right-wing broadcasters: H. L. Hunt, Dan Smoot, Carl McIntire, and Billy James Hargis. By the 1970s, all four had been hamstrung by the Internal Revenue Service, the FCC’s Fairness Doctrine, and the rise of a more effective conservative movement. But before losing their battle for the airwaves, Heather Hendershot reveals, they purveyed ideological notions that would eventually triumph, creating a potent brew of religion, politics, and dedication to free-market economics that paved the way for the rise of Ronald Reagan, the Moral Majority, Fox News, and the Tea Party. |

A Democratic elector from the District of Columbia in the 2000 U.S. Election, she abstained from voting in the Electoral College rather than vote for Al Gore as was expected, in protest of the District’s lack of a voting representative in Congress . Although D.C. does have a non-voting delegate to Congress , Lett-Simmons’s Electoral College abstention, the first since U.S. presidential election, 1864 , was intended to protest what Lett-Simmons referred to as the federal district’s “colonial status.” (See faithless elector .) Lett-Simmons is an alumna of the University of Michigan , and the widow of Samuel J. Simmons, former Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development . Lett-Simmons served on the District of Columbia’s Board of Education from 1974 to 1986. She was also a delegate to the 2000 Democratic National Convention .

Chapters: John Mccain, Saint Paul, Minnesota, Minneapolis – Saint Paul, 2008 Republican National Convention, Xcel Energy Center, Peace for Our Time. Excerpt: 2008 Presidential Election The United States 2008 Republican National Convention took place at the Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota , from September 1, through September 4, 2008. The first day of the Republican Party’s convention fell on Labor Day , the last day of the popular Minnesota State Fair , though because of Hurricane Gustav , this day was mostly a call for action to help victims and formal, required activities; most of the politicking and partying did not start until Tuesday, the second scheduled day. This was the latest any major party convention has ever been convened, and the first one to take place entirely in September. Traditionally, the party who holds the White House has the opportunity to select the date of its convention second, and normally the challenging party holds their convention in July while the incumbent party holds its convention in August. This year, later dates were chosen for both conventions because the parties wanted to schedule their conventions after the 2008 Summer Olympics ended. It was also the second time in American history that an incumbent president did not attend his party’s convention (although President George W. Bush did appear by satellite). The attending delegates at the convention nominated John McCain as the Republican Presidential candidate and Sarah Palin as the Vice-Presidential candidate for the 2008 Presidential election. 1,191 pledged delegates were necessary for a candidate to win the nomination. The convention was marked by peaceful demonstrations and unusually strong police presence in Saint Paul. Hundreds of arrests resulted in mostly dropped charges. |

Indeed, as she looked back over the many occasions when she had sat in similar corners in Edgecomb, there were very few plums in the retrospect. She had crossed the seas since her childish days, and attained a fair amount of success and happiness in distant lands, but she was learning now that it is well-nigh impossible to outgrow an early reputation in one’s native town. The fact that she had studied art for two years in Paris, and had had a picture exhibited in the Salon, was of no avail; and for the moment she seemed to have gone back to her dancing-school days, and become again, in other people’s minds, the shy girl who waltzed badly and had nothing to say. The truth was, nevertheless, that her long absence from home had helped her to overcome her self-distrust. She had been forced to think and act for herself. To acquire a calm manner, no matter how frightened or excited she mightbe feeling, had been her ambition for years, and she had succeeded so well that she was often considered cold when she was merely shy. Jean had now been grown up long enough to have the first zest of the experience wear off. She was almost twenty-three, and twenty-three seemed like the old age of girlhood. She could not but admit, however, that life grew more delightful with each added year. One must be a very interesting person to be satisfied long at a time with a life that revolves chiefly around one’s self, and most of us are forced in self- defense, if for no other reason, to widen our horizon. Now, as she was suddenly brought face to face with her childhood, she was conscious that at fourteen she had been the |

A Prairie Year $19.99 The year begins with hockey, icefishing, and a snowmobile race. Spring brings renewal: the arrival of piglets, baby chicks in the farm kitchen; and outside, the fields are seeded. In summer, there’s a dinosaur park to be visited; a calf is groomed for the fair and wheat tested between grandfather’s fingers. In fall, a farm auction becomes a party, trick-or-treating is done by pick-up truck, and Clydesdales are driven by teams competing at the world’s great farm fair. The glorious year ends with the arrival of Santa on the main street at night in a pickup truck, while beyond in the dark is the infinite mystery of the prairies. |

John Hay, tenth Lord Yester, third Earl and second Marquis of Tweeddale, was, in the times of William III. and Queen Anne, best known as an active politician. He married the only daughter of the famous Duke of Lauderdale, and seems to have inherited, along with that nobleman’s great wealth, no small part of his influence in the state. At the head of the party known as the Squadrone Volante, he took a large share in effecting the union of the kingdoms. Macky, who wrote in the beginning of the l8th century, mentions him as ” a short brown man,” very modest, but hot when piqued, a great promoter of the trade and welfare of his country. His single known composition, which is highly praised by Veitch as “the earliest remaining Tweeddale song,” was printed first by Herd in 1776. Its air, which, like several others, has been attributed to David Rizzio, is given by Chambers in his Songs of Scotland prior to jBurns. It was adopted by Gay for one of the lyrics in his opera of “Polly” in 1729. Neidpath Castle, near Peebles, which thenbelonged to the family, was probably the scene of the song. TWEEDSIDE.
