John Guare's new play A Free Man of Color is set in New Orleans on the eve of the Louisiana Purchase. In the play, a wealthy freed slave is the toast of the town, enjoying life to the fullest until history turns against him. Guare captures this moment in an epic farce, telling Kurt, "The image to me is so ridiculous, crazy, ominous and curious that it had to be comic."
Then, every year the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress selects 25 recordings to be preserved for all time. One song chosen this year is Loretta Lynns 1970 hit Coal Miners Daughter, which tells the story of growing up poor in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky. Lynn, Nashville veteran Harold Ray Bradley, and Jack White of The White Stripes explain what makes the song a classic.
And, in 1960, a 6 year-old black girl walked through the doors of an all-white school in New Orleans. Ruby Bridges was greeted by stares, jeers, and threats of violence. 50 years later her display of courage fascinates child psychiatrist Robert Coles, who tells Bridges story in his new book Handing One Another Along.

Publisher: Wisconsin Public Radio (To the Best of Our Knowledge)

Summary:
In this hour, great leaders inspire myths, but the truth is often an even better story. The real Cleopatra was a brilliant woman who spoke nine languages and controlled an empire that made Rome look like a backwater. Stacy Schiff's new book Cleopatra: A Life describes the Egyptian queen as a shrewd political strategist and a brilliant leader. She tells Anne Strainchamps about the real and the imaginary Cleopatra.
Next, Ron Chernow's recently published George Washington: A Life logs in at 900 pages, one of the most acclaimed historical biographies of the past year. Chernow says the Washington handed down through the ages is a wooden icon, washed clean of his passions and insecurities. But he tells Jim Fleming Washington was complicated and flawed, and an extraordinary political leader.
Then, Edmund Morris has written three books about Teddy Roosevelt. The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt started things off in 1980, winning the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. Theodore Rex followed, taking the Los Angeles Time Book Prize in 2002. The past year saw the third and final volume burst on the scene. Colonel Roosevelt picks up the story after TR left the White House. Morris tells Steve Paulson Roosevelt was a mass of contradictions.
And finally, while the presidency so far has appeared to be a man's game, there is now question that women have shaped the job and the men from the very beginning. In his book First Family: Abigail and John Adams, Pulitzer Prize winning author Joseph Ellis tells their story. He tells Jim Fleming it's just not possible to understand John without Abigail.

Cleopatra was the richest and most powerful woman in the world for a time, and all this before her death in her late 30s. Pulitzer Prize winning author Stacy Schiff reconstructs one of historys most famous lives in her new book, Cleopatra. [Broadcast Date: November 23, 2010]

Title: To the Best of Our Knowledge
Author: Jim Fleming
Length: 52 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-13-10
Publisher: Wisconsin Public Radio (To the Best of Our Knowledge)
Genres: Radio & TV, Great Interviews
Summary:
In this hour, in an excerpt from a 1991 interview, Philippe Petit talks about his experience walking on a tightrope between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in 1974.
Then, Colum McCann, whose novel Let the Great World Spin takes place on the day of Petit's adventure, talks with Steve Paulson. McCann was born in Dublin but lives now in New York. His father-in-law escaped from the first tower hit on 9/11. Let the Great World Spin won the National Book Award for Fiction.
Next, Jayne Anne Phillips is the author of several novels and two collections of widely anthologized short stories. Her novel Lark & Termite was also a finalist for the National Book Award. She reads an excerpt and talks with Jim Fleming about her love of children and her interest in communicating our perceptions of the many levels of reality we all live on.
After that, Hillary Mantel won Britain's prestigious Man Booker Prize for her book Wolf Hall. She tells Anne Strainchamps that Henry the Eighth needed a "fixer" to make his break from the Church of Rome and his many marriages legal in England. That man was Thomas Cromwell and Hilary Mantel tells his story in her book.
Following that, Carlos Ruiz Zafon is the author of The Shadow of the Wind and now, The Angel's Game. He tells Jim Fleming that both books are part of a sort of Chinese box set of four inter-related novels involving the same characters and his native city of Barcelona.
And finally, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie splits her time between the U.S. and her native Nigeria. She talks with Steve Paulson about her early days as a writer and her experience as an immigrant from Africa. Her latest book is called The Thing Around Your Neck. [Broadcast Date: January 13, 2010]

Kevin Merida and Michael Fletcher's new book is Supreme Discomfort: The Divided Soul of Clarence Thomas.

Zimbardo is best known for creating the landmark Stanford Prison Experiment in which a group of college-student volunteers were placed in a mock prison environment and divided randomly into "guards" and "inmates". The study was abandoned in a week, after ordinary students were transformed into brutal sadistic guards or emotionally broken prisoners. In 2004, Zimbardo was an expert witness in the court-martial hearings of one of the American Army reservists accused of criminal behavior at the Abu Ghraib prison. He is professor emeritus of psychology at Stanford University. [Broadcast Date: May 1, 2007]

His other albums include American Hunger, Scars and Memories, and Special Herbs and Spices, Volume I.
Mary Lillian Ellison died Friday at age 84. She was a wrestler, promoter, and trainer on the women's circuit for more than 50 years. Ellison got her nickname because, when asked why she wanted to wrestle, she replied that it was for the money: "I want to wrestle for the moolah." From the 1950s to the 1980s, The Fabulous Moolah held versions of the Women's Wrestling Championship, save for brief periods. She made a comeback in 1999. At age 76, Moolah beat opponent Ivory in Cleveland and was again proclaimed champion. Ruth Leitman's 2005 documentary, Lipstick and Dynamite, takes a look at the world of lady wrestling, a phenomenon that started in the 1930s as a form of entertainment and sport. Ellison's 2002 autobiography, written with Larry Platt, is entitled The Fabulous Moolah: First Goddess of the Squared Circle. (Original Airdate: 4/18/2005)

Summary:
Sexologist Leonore Tiefer on this archival edition of Fresh Air. Tiefer's book, Sex Is Not a Natural Act, looks at our society's anxieties and ignorances towards sex. She also questions what is "normal" sex and how people are to know how to have sex if no one talks about it. Tiefer received a Ph.D. in physiological psychology with a dissertation on hormones and mating behavior of rats. But she came to realize she knew nothing of the social norms of sexuality and questioned how sexual norms evolved. She re-specialized in clinical psychology and became a sex researcher, sex therapist, and an associate professor of urology and psychiatry at the Montefoire Medical Center in New York City. Tiefer has also been a sex columnist for the New York Daily News. (Original Broadcast Date: February 8, 1995)
