Can Falk bite his tongue long enough to record a radio commercial? Was it a bad idea to get an agent? Is Stichomythia an ancient Greek hero? Listen to find out! “Can We Talk?,” episode 62 of This Gun in My Hand , was garbled by Rob Northrup. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, information on how to subscribe, and to buy my books. What keeps this harmonica in my hand safe from those who would take it? This Gun in My Hand! Show Notes: 1. Gary Mackinder, theatrical agent to Parabellum City’s finest crime-fighters, appeared in episodes 11 and 26, and was name-dropped in episodes 37 and 50. 2. The US Marines landed at Foochow on the China coast in 1934.  3. The bit about drinking a complimentary glass of milk before trying to sing & perform is autobiographical. Except I was playing guitar and possibly singing back-up for my cousin Audrey at a coffee shop. Water is your best bet. 4. When they talked about “transcribed” radio shows in the 1930s, they meant recorded, not “transcribed” in the linguistic sense of a written version of some spoken event. Credits: The opening and middle transitional music clips are from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and the closing music is from Killer Bait (1949), both films in the public domain. Most of the music and sound effects used in the episode are modified or incomplete versions of the originals.

Research has indicated that the parents of Hispanic high school seniors place enormous emphasis on education and believe that a college education is an essential prerequisite for a good job and comfortable middle-class life style. However, compared to non-Hispanic Whites or African Americans, Hispanics are less likely to obtain higher education degrees. To study this discrepancy, Public Agenda held 8 focus groups with 50 Hispanic high school seniors in all, interviewed parents of Hispanic high school seniors, and interviewed teachers in predominantly Hispanic high schools. Findings show the enormous diversity of the Hispanic population, ranging from students well-prepared for college to those who seemed poorly prepared. A number of "college-maybe" students appeared to be qualified for college but hampered by challenges ranging from lack of financial resources to lack of knowledge of how to proceed. Even among the college-maybe students, some seemed headed for a successful college career. Often the difference seemed to be a teacher, role model, or strong adult in the family who helped them stay on track. The report also contains these commentaries: (1) "Afterword" (Deborah Wadsworth); (2) "Opening the Discussion" (Arturo Madrid); (3) "Building a Consensus for Equity" (Alfredo G. de los Santos, Jr.); (4) "A Challenge and an Opportunity for Policy" (Marlene L. Garcia); and (5) "Low Expectations Equal Low Outcomes" (Jaime A. Molera). (SLD)

6Boy Scout And Other Stories For Boys

By Richard Harding Davis

RICHARD HARDING DAVIS, as a friend and fellow author has written of him, was “youth incarnate,” and there is probably nothing that he wrote of which a boy would not some day come to feel the appeal. But there are certain of his stories that go with especial directness to a boy’s heart and sympathies and make for him quite unforgettable literature. A few of these were made some years ago into a volume, “Stories for Boys,” and found a large and enthusiastic special public in addition to Davis’s general readers; and the present collection from stories more recently published is issued with the same motive. This book takes its title from “The Boy Scout,” the first of its tales; and it includes “The Boy Who Cried Wolf,” “Blood Will Tell,” the immortal “Gallegher,” and “The Bar Sinister,” Davis’s famous dog story. It is a fresh volume added to what Augustus Thomas calls “safe stuff to give to a young fellow who likes to take off his hat and dilate his nostrils and feel the wind in his face.” (Summary by Publisher's Note in book)

7Make-Believe Man

By Richard Harding Davis

Adventure was what our protagonist was looking for, when he boarded the steamer "Patience" for his holiday, and when one has a man with such a vivid imagination like Joseph Forbes Kinney as a travel companion, who seems to find adventures at every turn of the road (and if not, he manufactures them), the two travellers are sure to stumble into trouble... (Summary by Carolin)

8Amateur

By Richard Harding Davis

9Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government, Volume 1a

By Jefferson Davis

<i>The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government</i> (1881) is written by Jefferson Davis, former President of the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. Davis wrote the book as a straightforward history of the Confederate States of America and as an apologia for the causes that he believed led to and justified the American Civil War.<br/><br/> Davis spared little detail in describing every aspect of the Confederate constitution and government, in addition to which he retold in detail numerous military campaigns. Far more compelling in the views of Davis' contemporaries and to modern scholars were Davis' thoughtfully constructed arguments as to the constitutional and moral justification of the formation of the Confederacy and of the Civil War. Davis cited numerous constitutional passages, constitutional scholars, and American political leaders to prove his thesis that secession was justified.<br/><br/> This project contains the first half of Volume 1 (of 2). (Intro modified from Wikipedia)

10Lost House

Although the Second Secretary tries to convince him that there is nothing to it, the journalist is determined to follow the lead... (Summary by Carolin)

11Princess Aline

By Richard Harding Davis

Instantly, Carlton is captivated by the princess, and decides that he must meet her. But how to get close to a princess, who lives in a small German duchy well protected by guards and etiquette? Carlton decides to travel to Europe and try his luck... (Summary by Carolin)

12My Buried Treasure

By Richard Harding Davis

"This is a true story of a search for buried treasure. The only part that is not true is the name of the man with whom I searched for the treasure. Unless I keep his name out of it he will not let me write the story, and, as it was his expedition and as my share of the treasure is only what I can make by writing the story, I must write as he dictates. I think the story should be told, because our experience was unique, and might be of benefit to others. And, besides, I need the money." (From the text)

13Lion and the Unicorn

By Richard Harding Davis

What if figures of animals had lives of their own? If the figures of a lion and a unicorn at the shop across the street could talk, what would they say about the little things in life that they see every day on the streets of London? This short story describes the love story of Philip Caroll and Helen Cabot, as witnessed by these two figures.. (Summary by Carolin)

15Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government, Volume 2

By Jefferson Davis

<i>The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government</i> (1881) is written by Jefferson Davis, former President of the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. Davis wrote the book as a straightforward history of the Confederate States of America and as an apologia for the causes that he believed led to and justified the American Civil War. (Intro modified from Wikipedia)<br/><br/> "The most painful pages of this work are those which . . . present the subjugation of the State governments by the Government of the United States. The patriot, the lover of his country and of the liberties of mankind, can not contemplate these facts without a feeling of grief which will not be comforted. That the work of the fathers of the republic, that the most magnificent system of constitutional government which the wisdom of man has devised, should be turned from its object, changed from its order, rendered powerless to protect the unalienable rights and sovereignty of the people, and made the instrument by which to establish and maintain imperialism, is a revolution unlike any other that may be found in the history of mankind. The result established the truthfulness of the assertion . . . that the Northern people, by their unconstitutional warfare to gain the freedom of certain negro slaves, would lose their own liberties." (from chapter 42)<br/><br/> This project contains Volume 2 (of 2).<br/><br/> Proof-Listened by TriciaG & denisedee

He has one to tell as an example. - Summary by Carolin

This is Volume VIII of the National Academy of Sciences Biographical Memoirs series. It is read as 33 sections using the memoir headings. John Wesley Powell (1834-1902) was a leading figure in the geological explorations of the West and helped establish the federal U.S. Geological Survey in 1879. He also led the Bureau of Ethnology and advocated for better treatment and study of Native American tribes and culture. He wrote a definitive study of the arid western U.S., advocating for thoughtful irrigation and land management practices. Powell predicted that water rights purchased by corporations, rather than tied to the land, would be a major political and environmental issue. John Wesley Powell was a scientific frontiersman. His life reveals the energetic working of a vigorous and independent personality, full of inspiration, power, and enterprise. He was a founder of major scientific organizations, including the National Geographic Society, Geological Society of America, and the Cosmos Club. Powell lived most of his life in Washington, DC. The memoir was written by William Morris Davis (1850-1934) was a prominent professor of geology, geography, and meteorology at Harvard and knew Powell personally. Summary by Melanie Schleeter McCalmont

The frost fair of 1814 began on 1 February, and lasted four days. A printer named George Davis published a 124-page book, "Frostiana; or a History of the River Thames in a Frozen State". The entire book was type-set and printed in Davis's printing stall, which had been set up on the frozen Thames. The book is a written history of London's frost fairs, interspersed with humorous, cold-related sections including "How to Make Ice Cream" and "The Art of Ice Skating". - Summary by Wikipedia, Lewis Fletcher
