Nov 1: Andrew Carnegie Lecture

David Nasaw: Andrew Carnegie
Lecture and book signing
Thursday, November 1, 6:30 p.m.T
he Great Hall
7 East 7th Street at Third Avenue
Free

Without education or contacts, Andrew Carnegie rose from poverty to become the richest person in the world. Having decided while relatively young and poor to give all his money away in his lifetime, he embraced philanthropy with the same energy and creativity as he did making money. Although Carnegie did much to try and help the disadvantaged, the author characterizes Carnegie as a true robber baron, a ruthless and hypocritical strikebreaker who made much of his money through practices that have since been outlawed. David Nasaw, who has uncovered important new material among Carnegie's papers and letters, will try to explain the Carnegie paradox—how such an ordinary-seeming person could achieve so much and embody such contradictions.

David Nasaw is professor of history at the CUNY Graduate Center. His other books include The Chief: Life and Times of William Randolph Hearst, Going Out: The Rise and Fall of Public Amusements, Children of the City: At Work and at Play and Schooled to Order: A Social History of Public Schooling in United States.

Nov 1: Religion, Politics, and the 2008 Election

Religion, Politics, and the 2008 Election
Thursday, November 01, 2007 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.

The Wolfson Center for National Affairs at The New School presents a conversation with Wilfred McClay, senior fellow of the Ethics and Public Policy Center at the University of Tennessee and co-author of Religion Returns to the Public Square, and Jacques Berlinerblau, with the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service and author of The Secular Bible: Why Nonbelievers Must Take Religion Seriously. With the 2008 election season approaching, McClay and Berlinerblau, two of America’s more thoughtful observers of the intersection of politics and religion, comment on how religion is likely to influence segments of the electorate, ranging from white evangelicals to liberal Catholics to militant secularists, with respect to issues such as abortion, stem-cell research, gay marriage, climate change, and the war in Iraq.

November 1: Q2P Documentary on Private vs. Public Space

Q2P: A Documentary by Paromita Vohra
Thursday, November 01, 2007 4:15 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

The New School for General Studies Bachelor’s Program, the India-China Institute, and the South Asian Faculty Forum present a screening of Q2P, a documentary by the Indian filmmaker Paromita Vohra.

Q2P envisions the Mumbai of the future and finds … public toilets—or, rather, not enough of them. As the film observes who has to queue to pee, we become aware of the constantly shifting boundaries between public and private space. We meet people with novel ideas for social change, which produce mixed results, and learn of the strategies the city’s poor use to survive. In the Museum of Toilets, at a night concert, in a New Delhi “international toilet,” in a Mumbai slum, we hear the silence that surrounds toilets and sense its connection to the silence that surrounds inequality. The toilet becomes a riddle with many answers, and some of those answers are questions—about gender, about class, about caste, and most of all about space, urban development, and the twisted myth of the global metropolis.

Paromita Vohra’s recent films include Morality TVand Loving Jihad (2007), on moral policing and tabloid culture in Meerut, a city in northern India; Where’s Sandra (2005), about the stereotyping of Christian women in Mumbai; and Work in Progress (2004), about the World Social Forum that took place in Mumbai in 2004.

Plays by Pope John Paul II

Karol Wojtyla, better known to the world as Pope John Paul II, devoted a good deal of his early manhood pursing a career in the theatre. While his chief interest was acting, he also began to write plays. They grew out of his experiences with Mieczyslaw Kotlarczk and the Rhapsodic Theatre. The group began performing clandestinely during the Nazi occupation of Poland as a way of preserving their national literature. They strove to create a uniquely Polish theatre, a "theatre of imagination, a theatre of the inner self." This striving is very much at the core of Wojtyla's plays.

Job (opens October 9)- combines the dramatic form of ancient Greek Tragedy with the story of Job as metaphor for the sufferings of the Polish People during the occupation.

Jeremiah (opens October 26) - combines an idealistic view of Poland's role in history, derived from Adam Mickiewicz and other 19th Century romantic poets, with a brutally honest appraisal of the actions and events that led to the country's then-current captivity. Wojtyla mixes elements of the Old Testament with 16th Century Polish History to create a truly national drama.

David Letterman
Fill out the form, someone from CBS will call you and you have to be able to get a trivia question right.
If they ask you what store is next door… it is Rupert Gee’s Hello Deli. If they ask you who the announcer is for the show, it is Alan Kalter and he has red hair.

Definitely the best choice for seeing celebrity guests. The stage door is right beside “Hello Deli” on 53rd street in between Broadway and 8th avenue.
Letterman is recorded Mondays at 4:30 PM and 7:00 PM, Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 5:30 PM, and Thursdays at 4:30 PM.
If you arrive near the middle of a taping, and stay til a half hour after the show is over (it’s an hour show) then you most likely will see the guests leaving….

No stage door. Studio located in Rockefeller Center.
If you are trying to catch guests of Conan O’Brien, there are two different elevator banks guests can take out of Rockefeller Center… But they will most likely use the middle set, which is in the middle of Rockefeller center, across from the NBC information desk.
The show tapes 5:30-6:30 Tuesday-Friday….
