About a week or so ago, late night talk show host, Jimmy Fallon introduced The Tonight Show’s first ever book club and included The Immortalists, the brilliant new novel by Chloe Benjamin.

Women’s Show 10/19- #Metoo-“Expose the Pig!” & Health Care
PLEASE SHARE WITH FRIENDS! The wrecking ball continues. Health care – whatever you have to do: sabotage, obfuscate, ridicule. If Congress won’t repeal the ACA, then Trump is willing to pull out its moorings… Murray and Alexander to the rescue? Don’t be too sure of that. The White House says, “yes…no…maybe” – and who knows… Read more »

Women’s Show 8/24– Dr. Rebecca Gordon on War as Metaphor
The celestial event of the year has come and gone… Impressive display by Mother Nature of the periodicity of our orbiting neighbors in space. Even more impressive was the ability of science to so predict the movement, to predict so accurately the times and paths. Science observes the universe with an eye to truth, not… Read more »

Women’s Show 8/17 – Dr. Gwendolyn Zoharah Simmons and Collier Myerson on Charlottesville
I’m losing track! North Korea and its nuclear arsenal are relegated to the back page and we are fighting the Civil War again. Note to self and others: the Civil War was fought over SLAVERY, not states rights, not economic rights, SLAVERY. Perhaps it has never been truer, “If you do not know your history,… Read more »
