Event 1

Thursday, July 7, 7 p.m.

Bob Riesman - I Feel So Good: The Life and Times of Big Bill Broonzy
Riesman’s life of Big Bill Broonzy (1903–1958) encompasses the bluesman’s many pivotal roles. From melding the traditional, rural blues of his native Arkansas Delta region with the urban sound in 1930s Chicago, to influencing the resurgence of folk music after World War II and inspiring the blues-rock musicians of the 1960s, Broonzy was a key figure for 20th-century popular music.

Friday, July 8, 7 p.m.

Tom Gardner & LouAnn Lofton - Warren Buffett Invests like a Girl: and Why You Should Too
Confidence and daring aren’t always a winning proposition when it comes to investments, say the authors, Motley Fool analysts. These qualities, along with compulsion, characterize how men make investments. Women, by contrast, have a more studious approach and their patience and research result in stronger portfolios—more like Warren Buffett’s than like that of the average male investor.

Saturday, July 9, 6 p.m.

Daniel Solove - Nothing to Hide: The False Tradeoff between Privacy and Security
The ongoing war on terrorism seems to demand that we give up privacy to gain security. In his sharply reasoned new book, Solove, John Marshall Harlan Research Professor of Law at G.W. Law School, argues that this is a false premise. Exploring the history of privacy rights and the challenges of present technology, he shows how regulation and oversight can preserve both security and privacy.

Sunday, July 10, 5 p.m.

Marvin Kalb & Deborah Kalb - Haunting Legacy: Vietnam and the American Presidency from Ford to Obama
Vietnam is the ghost haunting every president since 1975 who faces a decision about going to war. In their deeply researched history of the post-Vietnam era, the authors, veteran journalists, examine how each administration from Ford to Obama has responded to this legacy.
