The Prophetic Minority

An hour with Studs Terkel. On recent politics: "It's a burlesque show, but it's not funny."

"My life isn't so difficult if I don't dwell on it"

From the LAT:

I always sort of dread Thanksgiving, and not just because I am alone or because no one invites me to dinner. For me, the holiday marks the start of cold weather, and I know it will soon be uncomfortable to sleep outdoors.

The rest here.
