Seth Rosenfeld on Subversives: The FBI's War on Student Radicals, and Reagan's Rise to Power.

Show description for Sunday 3/10/2013 @ 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM



 Subversives traces the FBI’s secret involvement with three iconic figures at Berkeley during the 1960s: the ambitious neophyte politician Ronald Reagan, the fierce but fragile radical Mario Savio, and the liberal university president Clark Kerr. Through these converging narratives, the award-winning investigative reporter Seth Rosenfeld tells a dramatic and disturbing story of FBI surveillance, illegal break-ins, infiltration, planted news stories, poison-pen letters, and secret detention lists. He reveals how the FBI’s covert operations—led by Reagan’s friend J. Edgar Hoover—helped ignite an era of protest, undermine the Democrats, and benefit Reagan personally and politically. At the same time, he vividly evokes the life of Berkeley in the early sixties—and shows how the university community, a site of the forward-looking idealism of the period, became a battleground in an epic struggle between the government and free citizens.
The FBI spent more than $1 million trying to block the release of the secret files on which Subversives is based, but Rosenfeld compelled the bureau to release more than 250,000 pages, providing an extraordinary view of what the government was up to during a turning point in our nation’s history.
Part history, part biography, and part police procedural, Subversives reads like a true-crime mystery as it provides a fresh look at the legacy of the sixties, sheds new light on one of America’s most popular presidents, and tells a cautionary tale about the dangers of secrecy and unchecked power.

 Joining us this afternoon, on the 5 o'clock hour, author Seth Rosenfeld, discussing his most recent book, Subversives: The FBI's War on Student Radicals, and Reagan's Rise to Power.

Poet Joy Harjo, Crazy Brave

Show description for Sunday 1/27/2013 @ 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM


This afternoon, on the 5 o'clock hour, we are honored to be joined by Joy Harjo, discussing her new book, Crazy Brave: A Memoir.
"Joy Harjo is one of the real poets of our mixed, fermenting, end-of-the-century North American imagination." ~ Adrienne Rich

“Joy Harjo is a giant-hearted, gorgeous and glorious gift to the world. Her belief in art, in spirit, is so powerful, it can't help but spill over to us -- lucky readers. Wildly passionate and honest as a hound, Crazy Brave invites us into a whole new way of seeing -- deeper, less cluttered, and vastly more courageous than our own. It’s a book for people who want to re-fall in love with the world.” ~ Pam Houston

"Joy Harjo has always been able to see with more than her eyes. Her
writing is a testament to this gift. Her memoir honors her own journey as
well as those who fell along the wayside. Her hero's journey is a gift for
all those struggling to make their way." ~ Sandra Cisneros

"Here is the life that brought Joy Harjo to poetry -- a life in which 'crazy' means close to necessary risk, close to herself, close to prophecy, and close to love. This book reminds us again that poems are not luxuries and that coming to them can offer not only grace but survival." ~ Honor Moore
