Question: 'Bette And Joan' Reveals The Electric Personalities Behind 'Baby Jane'

As horror movies go, 1962's What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? was a B movie, in budget and, if I gave it one, a letter grade. It didn't deserve an A for its scares or its innovation, as Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho did two years earlier, or his movie The Birds would in the following year. But there was something about Baby Jane, with its story of two actress sisters — one confined to a wheelchair, the other obsessed by memories of her glory days as a child star — that was truly, deeply creepy. The director, Robert Aldrich, who had come up from live TV, was good, but was no Hitchcock: the movie didn't belong to him. It belonged, completely, to Joan Crawford as the invalid Blanche, and especially to Bette Davis as the sadistic Baby Jane. Why make a miniseries out of the making of this particular cult motion picture? Ryan Murphy jump-started the current craze of miniseries anthologies, with new stories and characters being presented each season, with American Horror Story, and he's had even more success with The People v. O.J. Simpson, the first entry in his American Crime Story miniseries. Now he's going back to the well a third time, for the same network, with a new FX anthology series called Feud, dramatizing memorable, very personal conflicts in history. And rather than starting large, with some political or philosophical battle, he's starting small, with the eight-episode campy drama called Bette and Joan. Because it's only an eight-hour commitment, the supporting cast of Feud is unusually strong. Alfred Molina plays Aldrich, the director who has to handle both temperamental actresses at the same time. Stanley Tucci plays studio head Jack Warner, who still resents Davis for suing him to shut down the old Hollywood studio system of seven-year contracts. And there are plenty of other stars, including appearances from regular Murphy rep players Sarah Paulson and Kathy Bates. But the real electricity in Feud is generated from the same source as in Baby Jane. It's the sight of two iconic actresses sharing the stage, and crossing swords. In Feud, it's Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange. And in Feud, the dialogue is laden with comments, about Hollywood, ageism and sexism that are just as cutting, and as relevant, all these years later. Bette and Joan is a salute to the joys, and difficulties, and intricacies of filmmaking. It's also a clear salute to female empowerment: both Sarandon and Lange are producers on this project — and Lange, playing several chameleonic parts on American Horror Story, has demonstrated her range on TV more than she's been allowed to, of late, in the movies. Television, increasingly, is where the best and most challenging roles are, and not only for women — but as portrayed here, Davis and Crawford are wonderful roles indeed. And finally, there's the whole idea behind Feud. With the nation as polarized as it is, watching a drama about a constant battle of wills and egos might not sound much like entertainment, let alone escapism. But it is. Sarandon and Lange are so vibrant, and so into their respective roles, that this first Feud, at least, is much more of a wickedly clever comedy. Bette and Joan has two guaranteed Emmy-nominated performances at its center — and it's a blast.  DAVE DAVIES, HOST:  This is FRESH AIR. The 1962 low-budget horror movie "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?" starred two once-major actresses, Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, as sisters in a story of escalating and very unsettling sibling rivalry. The conflicts behind the scenes were just as intense as the one depicted on screen. Now Ryan Murphy, the creator of "American Horror Story" and "American Crime Story: The People Versus O.J. Simpson," is presenting a new miniseries on the FX Network about the making of "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?" Premiering this Sunday, it's called "Feud: Bette And Joan." It stars Susan Sarandon as Bette Davis and Jessica Lange as Joan Crawford. Our TV critic David Bianculli has this review.

Question: Herbie Hancock On His Next Album, Flying Lotus And Jupiter's Satellite

Represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth.

The pianist, composer and music ambassador Herbie Hancock is working on new music with a new band, and he's about to present the first taste of it in live performance. Next Thursday, Aug. 11, Hancock brings a new lineup to Prospect Park in Brooklyn, N.Y., for an outdoor concert. (He's to be joined by Terrace Martin on saxophone and keyboards, Lionel Loueke on guitar, James Genus on bass and Trevor Lawrence Jr. on drums.) Hancock says he expects to play some ideas that he's been working on for a new record, which he's hoping to release next year. NPR Music and WBGO will record and film the show for a later broadcast on Jazz Night In America. In advance of that concert, Simon Rentner, who hosts a program called The Checkout on WBGO, sat down to interview Hancock. Their conversation touched upon the connection between Flying Lotus and Miles Davis, some special guests on the forthcoming album and what he's doing with NASA. Here's an excerpted transcript of their conversation, which you can hear in full via WBGO. Rentner started by playing an excerpt of an interview with Flying Lotus.  That brought me back to the opening passage of your memoir, Possibilities, Herbie, where you were in concert with the Miles Davis Quintet in the mid-'60s, where you played the wrong notes. But Miles Davis gave you a nod of confidence nevertheless. That was an amazing event. I'll never forget that. Because that was the hottest night of the whole European tour. The band was smokin' and we had the audience in the palm of our hands. And at the peak of the evening, I played this chord that was really completely wrong, right? And Miles just took a breath and then he played some notes, and it made my chord right — it made it fit into the flow of things. And it took me many years to find that, what had actually happened. And the truth of the matter is I realized, finally, that Miles didn't judge my chord. Like, no judgment whatsoever. He just heard it as something that happened, and dealt with it, and found these notes that worked. And that's a very important lesson that I've learned and applied — not only to music, but I apply it to life. But it seems like you're applying it even to this Flying Lotus session, where you guys are on the edge, right? I had no idea actually what we were doing at the time, and when I first went over to his house to record something, I didn't have any preconceived idea. And I know that a lot of things have changed, of course, since the older days of recording, but the way I was used to recording, in a recording studio and preparing everything in advance — I knew, now, things have changed a lot with young people since then. And so, I wanted to find out how he records. And I learned a lot actually, working with Steve Ellison, Flying Lotus. And, I really enjoyed it, you know. It was funny because I heard this drum track that he had just — he didn't say anything, he just started playing it from his computer. And, then he said, "You think you might be able to put something on [this track]?" I said, "Sure." So I started looking for something to do that would relate to what would essentially sound like a drum solo. And I found some phrases that kind of worked. And he put the whole thing on a loop, but after a few minutes, I began to notice that something I played was on a loop. I just kept going, and coming up with some other ideas, and he was recording them, and then certain things he would kind of snatch. In that loop. And then later on he would slice and dice and put it all together and made it part of the track called "Tesla." Really, the new ingredient [in your new band] — I just had him on my show — was Terrace Martin, the saxophonist, who's a part of [Flying Lotus'] posse. Yeah, Terrace and I have been working together almost every day on different things, for the record. And he's coming to Brooklyn for the concert. And when's this record coming out? I don't know [laughing]. I'm shooting for the spring, but I'm not putting a time limit on it. It's going to come out when it's ready. So Terrace Martin and I agreed in our interview together that every time you do drop a new project, it is kind of an event, at least in the jazz music community. Everybody perks up and wants to listen to it right away. So what kinds of things are you messing around with, technologically speaking? Flying Lotus also said that you're incessantly curious about what's going on today. So what are you doing new with this project? Well, I'm working with a lot of young people, many of them are friends of Flying Lotus and Terrace Martin. Like Thundercat, the bassist. And also Robert Glasper, who-- Who's on the bill with you at Prospect Park. Right, exactly, great, he's an amazing musician. And ... well, Terrace plays not only alto saxophone, he also plays keyboards and he also works with the vocoder. He also plays drums but I don't know if he's going to play drums on the record. Trevor Lawrence, is one of the drummers that I've been working w

Question: New Data About Student Loan Borrowers; DeVos Changes Obama-era Guidance

Represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on NPR.

Welcome to the latest installment of our education news roundup. This week: student loans, HBCUs, federal education policy and more: The Department of Education scolds an online university Western Governors University was ineligible for federal student aid and may have to return more than $700 million, according to an audit by the U.S. Education Department's oversight branch. The university, whose curriculum emphasizes competency-based education, did not qualify for aid because there wasn't enough interaction between faculty and students, the audit says. In other words, the department says, Western Governors was operating more like a correspondence school than a university. The audit raises questions about the future of the movement toward competency-based education as a whole. A student loan watchdog is shut out Since 2011, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has worked with the Education Department to enforce student loan regulations. But this week, the department announced that the partnership will end. The news came the same week the CFPB reached a settlement with the National Collegiate Student Loan Trust, which the bureau had accused of collecting debts it didn't own. Nationwide, roughly 44 million student borrowers owe more than $1 trillion dollars in educational loans. New demographic data about student borrowers Seven newly released reports offer a look at student aid recipients — by age, geographic location and school type:  Five percent of student borrowers carry more than $100,000 in federal student loans, while 57 percent of borrowers owe less than $20,000. Student loan recipients living in Washington, D.C., have, on average, the highest student loan balance in the country, roughly $50,000. More than a quarter of a million borrowers — 1.6 percent of all student loan recipients — defaulted on their loans in fiscal year 2017. Forty-two percent of outstanding student loans are from public colleges and universities, 32 percent from private schools and the remainder from proprietary and foreign institutions.  HBCU leaders meet in Washington Many historically black colleges and universities have struggled in recent years because of cuts in federal funding. On Monday, some leaders from these schools met in Washington, D.C., to lobby Congress and the White House. But most HBCU presidents skipped the meeting altogether, as did President Trump. This came a day after Trump picked Johnathan Holifield to lead a White House advisory board that will work with HBCUs. Holifield, a tech entrepreneur and former NFL player, did not go to a historically black college or university. States submit new federal education plans  The final deadline for states to submit their plans under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act was this week. The law requires states to outline how they'll assess public schools and educate students. DeVos withdraws Obama-era guidance on campus sexual assault And finally, the Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has withdrawn the Obama-era guidance on how colleges investigate allegations of sexual assault. DeVos has previously said that the old guidance did not grant due process for people accused of sexual assault and that it put too much pressure on school administrators. The Education Department will seek public comment before implementing a new policy.

Question: The Tony Nominations: 'The Great Comet,' 'Dolly,' And 'A Doll's House'

Last year, the Tony Awards were swamped, particularly in the minds of many who only follow theater casually, by the phenomenon that was Hamilton. It got 16 nominations, it seemed like (and was) a lock to win many of them, and every other Tony story struggled to get a little bit of sunlight. Not so this year. Yes, there are big stories: the revival of Hello, Dolly! starring Bette Midler did very well, with 10 nominations, including ones for Midler and David Hyde Pierce as well as for Best Revival of a Musical. The new musical Natasha, Pierre And the Great Comet Of 1812 got more nominations than any other single show, with 12, including one for its big-star lead, Josh Groban. But there is more room for more shows to breathe, certainly. Dear Evan Hansen, a musical that's felt to me like it has the most pop-culture juice of the season (a purely subjective evaluation), has nine nominations, and the musical adaptation of Groundhog Day and the based-on-a-true-story Come From Away both have seven. As for plays (which generally don't rack up the sheer number of nominations that musicals do, because there aren't music-side awards in contention), the most-nominated show is A Doll's House Part 2, which is, yes, a contemporary follow-up to Ibsen's A Doll's House that imagines what Nora might be doing fifteen years after she famously walked out the door and left her husband and children behind. It received eight nominations including ones for all four of the actors in its small cast: Laurie Metcalf, Chris Cooper, Jayne Houdyshell, and Condola Rashad. Nipping at its heels is Oslo, an absorbing drama about the negotiation of the Oslo Accords in 1993 that received seven nominations — my personal favorite being the one for Michael Yeargan's scenic design, which features only a few pieces that are rolled, carried, raised and lowered by the cast to shift from scene to scene in a strikingly elegant dance that underscores the care with which the talks have to be arranged and managed. A revival of August Wilson's Jitney has six nominations, including one for director Ruben Santiago-Hudson, who (trivia alert!) TV viewers may know as Castle's Captain Roy Montgomery. Oh — and on a personal note, Sweat and Indecent, the plays I wrote about earlier this spring, were both nominated for Best Play, along with Oslo and A Doll's House Part 2, which makes me four for four on Best Play nominees for the first time ever, to say the least. It's a curious moment for theater, from the standpoint of pop culture. There's no question in my mind that at least temporarily, Hamilton shifted the earth under the connection between Broadway and the rest of popular entertainment. I would posit that there's some population of people who didn't consider themselves likely to look into Broadway shows two or three years ago who might do it now. But the key word is might. Look around you at a Broadway show — a play especially — and you will see an audience whose whiteness and, you know, maturity is, on the whole, evident. (I say that as a mature white lady. No judgment.) I haven't yet seen The Great Comet, but I'm not sure, despite its wonderful reviews, it's likely that the way to remedy an audience that leans older and whiter than you'd ideally prefer is to lead with Josh Groban. (Which isn't Josh Groban's fault! I'm actually quite a fan of him as well. And you also would not lead with someone like me. Once again: no judgment.) But there's a lot to like in these shows, and the plays, I can tell you, are deeply engaged with many of the profound questions about the state of the world that currently preoccupy so many of us. Sweat, Indecent, Oslo and A Doll's House all, in different ways, feel as if they are — to use a tricky and squishy term — resonant. They resonate not only with direct questions of history and sociology, but with the more unsettling sensation that to live in the world is often to feel misunderstood and mistreated by people with whom you must nonetheless either find a way to live peacefully — or consign yourself to live other than peacefully. They are all plays about coexistence in various ways, and in that sense, they are all plays about compassion and empathy and the limitations of both. The Tony Awards will be handed out on Sunday, June 11. Find all the nominees here.

As part of the StoryCorps oral history project, we offer two stories in which that is most definitely the case. Don "Moses" Lerman is a fierce competitor -- but he's not exactly an athlete. Lerman is a competitive eater. He attends most major events on the IFOCE (International Federation of Competitive Eating) circuit. He can still recall winning his first contest. And as a bonus, a viewpoint from Whitesburg, Ky. Hargis Ison grew up in Kentucky in the 1930s.

Question: Turkish Student Freed But Still Faces Trial

A 16-year-old student was released from custody today after his arrest for allegedly insulting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan caused uproar in the country. The student, identified only by his initials M.E.A, was taken away from his school on Wednesday and jailed for making a speech during a student protest in which he reportedly said Erdogan was regarded as the “thieving owner of the illegal palace.” It was a reference to a government corruption scandal as well as a controversial 1,150-room palace Erdogan inaugurated in October. Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu had defended his detention, saying the presidential office had to be respected, but opposition parties denounced his arrest as the latest example of the government’s crackdown on dissent in the country.

Question: After Another Night Of Near-Riots In Anaheim, Latinos Want Feds To Investigate

Update at 5:36 p.m. ET. U.S. Attorney Will Investigate: During a press conference today, Mayor Tom Tait asked for calm. He also said that the Office of the U.S. Attorney had agreed to investigate the shootings. "The first step is to get to the truth," Tait said according to the Orange County Register. "That takes some time and patience, and that's what I'm asking for." Our Original Post Continues: It's quiet in Anaheim this morning after police put down a fourth day of angry protests that lasted past midnight. Some city residents are outraged over two deadly police shootings last weekend, and the police's subsequent handling of citizen protests this week.   At least 20 people were arrested yesterday, according to the Contra Costa Times, after protesters bunched up outside Anaheim city hall, where council members voted to ask the U.S. Attorney's office to investigate several deadly police shootings. Not everyone could get a seat inside the building and police turned away the overflow crowd.   At least five people were hurt in the melee that followed, according to The Los Angeles Times. And police once again deployed rubber bullets. NPR member station KPCC has a dramatic report from a strip mall near city hall. "Police helicopters hovered from above as colorful fireworks from nearby Disneyland lit up the sky," Corey Moore reports. "At one point, police shut down a gas station when protesters were seen filling canisters with gas." Corey tells us about Yolanda Delgado, 68, who had decided to patrol the strip mall to keep protesters from looting. At one point in the report, Delgado is punched in the face by one young protester. "Have some pride," she shouted. George Rangel was also at the scene. He told Corey that he wasn't angry at the protesters for coming out against the shootings; he was angry at the way the protests have unfolded. "There's no reason for the public to be acting like this," he said. "It's out of control. What we need is leadership within the Mexican community to lead these people." In other parts of Anaheim, "protesters hurled rocks, traffic cones and other objects at police clad in riot gear as officers chased people along sidewalks and streets throughout the evening and fired less-than-lethal projectiles into crowds after giving a dispersal order," the Times reports. "Sirens wailed as officers formed skirmish lines and police from neighboring law enforcement agencies provided assistance." As we wrote, the violence began Saturday with the deadly police shooting of Manuel Diaz, who was unarmed.  Now Diaz's family has filed a lawsuit against the city of Anaheim and the police department, according to The Los Angeles Times. It says the lawsuit alleges Diaz was shot when he was chased by officers, dropped to his knees and was shot in the back of the head.   Latino leaders are outraged over what they call "a history of brutality" against Latino residents. Five people have been killed in police shootings this year. Saturday, Anaheim police unleashed dogs on protesters, including women and children. KCAL reporter Joe Jackson interviewed one woman who tried to protect her baby in a stroller. She was crying, saying that police started shooting suddenly and hit even little kids. She was distraught, saying the dog bit her. Mayor Tom Tait has asked for a state and federal review of the shooting of Diaz.  Anaheim City council members voted unanimously to ask the U.S. Attorney to investigate the officer shootings. But last month Anaheim decided to hire an independent investigator to examine police shootings. Meanwhile, Diaz's mother spoke to reporters near the site of the shooting. She called on residents to stop the violence. "This is wrong and needs to stop on both sides," Genevieve Huizar said, according to the Times.

Question: Janet Jackson Marks Her Comeback With The Help Of Daddy Yankee

Janet Jackson knows exactly what she's doing. After finishing a summer of festival stops, the musical trendsetter has teamed up with Daddy Yankee for a new single to remind us all to take advantage of every last drop of summer fun imaginable.  Produced by Harmony Samuels and pulling from Afrobeat and reggaeton drums and percussion, Ms. Jackson's "Made For Now" showcases her appreciation for world cultures and carpe diem-ing to the fullest. And a link up with Daddy Yankee, one of reggaeton's most famous names, for the occasion proves (once again) she knows how to tap into the cultural innovators. In a colorful and culturally vibrant display, the video takes viewers on a hyperspeed tour through New York City neighborhoods — from hair salons and double Dutch in Harlem to dimly-lit dance clubs in the Brooklyn  — prompting an adrenaline rush just from seeing the music in motion.  Janet appears multiple times in billowing African prints and enlists and entourage of gorgeous dancers of all shapes and sizes from Ghana, Nigeria, Trinidad and more to accompany her in a breakdown just before the three-minute mark of the video. The Dave Myers-directed visual ends with the R&B, dance and pop star regally perched amid the dancers and flashing a smile. You're definitely going to want to watch a few times just to catch all this exuberant, dizzying choreography. "Made For Now" marks Janet's first single in two years. Her last new release was 2016's "Damnnn Baby." And while it's an extremely late breaking nominee for song of the summer, it does remind of some of her hits that similarly explore the edges of genre confines a la "All For You" or "Rock With U."

Question: Triptychs, Technology And Ed Kashi's Archives

There's a common belief that revelations occur when you least expect them. The proverbial Newton-apple, Ben Franklin-kite thing. This was the case for photographer Ed Kashi who, lying in bed one morning, envisioned three photos from his archives flowing through his mind "like a cinematic strip." Hence the birth of his newest project, Three. For full screen, click on the four-cornered arrow icon in the viewer's bottom right. Kashi is an award-winning photojournalist, whose still images and photo essays have illustrated the pages of National Geographic, The New York Times Magazine and Time, to name a few. He's also a multimedia pioneer, creating waves in the online world with works such as Aging in America and this "flipbook" project on Iraqi Kurdistan. He and his wife Julie Winokur founded Talking Eyes Media — an organization dedicated to social change through visual media. He's been all over the world, documenting some pretty tough pills to swallow. That's why this latest project is a real departure. In his book Three, photographs are presented as triptychs with no context, no captions. Some come from the same series, but many are related solely on a visual level: They're arranged to guide the eye in a certain way, or they all share a color palette or similar shapes. There's no real story. It's just an organic journey through his archives. The triptych on the book's cover is of the mythic, 74 year-old, Brazilian fisherman Ze Peixe, or "the fish." These are the images that came to Kashi in his dream. For him, this triptych is one of the most effective, "and it came from an unconscious moment," he said from his studio in New Jersey. I find that in general, it's when you forget about yourself, and you forget about what you're doing — and you get into an almost meditative or trance-like state — that you do your greatest work. It's interesting that this trance-like state yielded a traditionally reverent art form: Triptychs originated as early Christian art. Kashi's reverence, though, is really directed toward his vocation. It's his eagerness to experiment and to embrace change that has made him so successful. In the field, he has an instinctive command of his camera and his surroundings. And in production, it seems like he's always a step ahead of the crowd. Once a film purist, he's now a digital proselyte, thrilled and empowered by the way technology has altered his work. Once I had digitized a critical mass of my pictures, I could dip into one well to see everything. ... I'm the guy who was quoted, I'm sure, 10 years ago: "I'm never going to shoot digital." I'm proud to say, thank God, that I didn't stand by that statement. ... Because of Photoshop — as opposed to going into the darkroom, and instead of taking a week to put three pictures on an easel on one sheet of paper — I could do it in 30 minutes. In the wake of deadlines, overstimulation and diminishing attention spans, Kashi's Three is a reminder that it's important to take a step back and digest the things we create. It's OK to take things out of context every once in a while. It's fun to play. Be sure to check out the multimedia presentation produced by Julie Winokur that accompanies this book. Have an idea?

Question: Friday News Roundup - International

While it may seem like royal baby Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was the only news of note from around the globe this week, of course, that wasn’t the case. The United States seized a North Korean cargo vessel this week. The Justice Department said the ship violated trade sanctions, and that it was the first time the United States has seized a North Korean cargo ship. This comes after South Korea said North Korea launched two short-range ballistic missiles and tested other weapons last week. The China-U.S. trade contretemps ratcheted up this week. The two countries have been in a trade war since last summer, and this week, Trump administration officials said that it would increase tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese imports. In addition, they said Chinese officials had “reneged” on previous commitments. On May 5, President Donald Trump tweeted:  For 10 months, China has been paying Tariffs to the USA of 25% on 50 Billion Dollars of High Tech, and 10% on 200 Billion Dollars of other goods. These payments are partially responsible for our great economic results. The 10% will go up to 25% on Friday. 325 Billions Dollars……..of additional goods sent to us by China remain untaxed, but will be shortly, at a rate of 25%. The Tariffs paid to the USA have had little impact on product cost, mostly borne by China. The Trade Deal with China continues, but too slowly, as they attempt to renegotiate. No!  In the Democratic Republic of Congo, a devastating Ebola outbreak has become increasingly difficult to address because of attacks on treatment centers. Over 1000 people have died since August. The U.S. and Iran also amplified tensions this week. Iranian president Hassan Rouhani said his country would no longer comply with parts of the Iran nuclear deal. The White House recently directed a Navy carrier task force to the area. New Yorker writer Robin Wright told us “Iran represents the deepest split around the world between the United States and its allies since World War II.” And the Myanmar government granted Reuters reporters Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo their freedom. The two men spent more than 500 days in jail after reporting on the massacre of 10 Rohingya Muslim men and boys by Buddhist civilians and security forces in the western Myanmar town of Inn Din.

Question: Raised Around Cry For Smaller Government, Rand Paul Carries The Torch

This story is part of NPR's series Journey Home. We're going to the places presidential candidates call home and finding out what those places tell us about how they see the world. Sen. Rand Paul made headlines recently with his one-man effort to roll back government surveillance. And that's the just beginning of Paul's plan to dismantle big chunks of the federal government. "The Washington machine that gobbles up our freedoms and invades every nook and cranny of our lives must be stopped," Paul declared in April, as he announced his presidential campaign. But Paul's hometown of Lake Jackson, Texas, only exists because of a shotgun wedding between big government and industry. The city was hastily built near the Texas Gulf Coast in the 1940s to house workers at a nearby Dow Chemical plant, so that they could produce the magnesium the military needed during World War II. "The U.S. government stepped in and they made it happen," said Robert Rule, executive director of the Lake Jackson Historical Association. Lake Jackson's curving streets were master-planned to protect the city's live oak trees — a stark contrast to the unregulated sprawl of Houston, 50 miles to the north. Dow Chemical banners still hang at Rand Paul's alma mater, Brazoswood High School, a large, brick building surrounded by ballfields. "Our family has deep roots in this community and in this school," said Matthew Pyeatt, the senator's nephew, who's now an assistant principal at the school. In a small town like Lake Jackson, Pyeatt says, "Everybody knows who you are and everybody knows who your family is." Rand Paul was known as standout on the high school swim team. His older brother Ronnie still holds the school record for the 100-meter butterfly. Their father, Ron Paul, was the local obstetrician. He delivered many of the babies in town, but refused to accept either Medicare or Medicaid. The elder Paul took his libertarian leanings to Congress in 1976. "Ron went up there as 'Dr. No,' " recalled Mary Jane Smith, Ron Paul's original campaign manager. "We loved it. We loved his going up there and just trying to turn back the growth of government." In those early days, the den of the family's ranch-style home was campaign central. Members of the Methodist church choir and the PTA were drafted to help sort incoming mail. And libertarian economists such as Murray Rothbard and Hans Sennholz were frequent guests at family dinners. "They were always around the kitchen table. The kids would come and have dinner," Smith said. "And I remember Randy sitting there, being there. And I've heard him say as an adult, 'I just learned so much by just listening.' " Rand Paul listened carefully and absorbed much of his father's small-government philosophy. Before he tried taking a scalpel to government, though, Rand Paul followed his father into medicine. There's a striking photo in the high school yearbook of young "Randy" Paul in anatomy class, smiling as he dissects a cat. "He said when he was a very young man, 'I'm going to be a medical doctor,' " Pyeatt said. "He knew exactly what he wanted to be and exactly what he needed to do to get there and be successful." In 1981, Paul went off to college at Baylor University in Waco, taking his home-grown politics along. He joined a new political organization called the Young Conservatives of Texas. Founder Steve Munisteri recalled that Paul quickly distinguished himself, offering a collegiate preview of the speaking ability that would later make him a C-SPAN sensation. "He can quote philosophers to you. He can quote poets to you. He can quote texts from Austrian economics," Munisteri said. "I mean, he was somebody that would constantly challenge your position if it was different. And he would exchange ideas, not to show he was a better debater but to explore what you believed in and what he believed in." Paul was accepted to the Duke University School of Medicine after just three years of college. Ultimately, he opened an ophthalmology practice in his wife's home state of Kentucky. Unlike his father, the young Dr. Paul did accept Medicare and Medicaid. He also built a home in a stately subdivision where the rules governing property owners fill 21 typewritten pages. The staunch defender of individual freedom couldn't even choose his own mailbox. The neighborhood's developer, Jim Skaggs, was also chairman of the Warren County Republican Party. He says that Paul was never active in backslapping party politics. "He never attended a meeting while I was chairman," said Skaggs, who also serves on the executive committee of the Kentucky GOP. "You get to know who is and who isn't interested in politics." Skaggs was surprised five years ago when Paul came "out of nowhere" to win a Senate seat, beating Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's handpicked candidate. To be sure, 2010 was a good year for Tea Party insurgents. But Paul proved to be a more savvy politician than Skaggs had given him credit for. "I underrated Rand," S

Question: It's ScuttleButton Time!

Represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth

While most of you are riveted by today's Delaware primary, I thought I would try and break your concentration by bringing back ScuttleButton after a week's absence. I was in Idaho last week, working with the wonderful folks at Boise State Public Radio for NPR's StateImpact project. But wherever I went, the lament was the same: "I need my ScuttleButton fix." So here it is. Just don't forget how to play. ScuttleButton, as you know, is the once a week waste of time exercise in which each Monday (or, as some people call today, "Tuesday") I put up a vertical display of buttons on this site. Your job is to simply take one word (or concept) per button, add 'em up, and, hopefully, you will arrive at a famous name or a familiar expression. (And seriously, by familiar, I mean it's something that more than one person on Earth would recognize.) For years, a correct answer chosen at random would get his or her name posted in this column, an incredible honor in itself. Now the stakes are even higher. Thanks to the efforts of the folks at Talk of the Nation, that person also hears their name mentioned on the Wednesday show (by me) and receives a Political Junkie t-shirt in the bargain. Is this a great country or what? You can't use the comments box at the bottom of the page for your answer. Send submission (plus your name and city/state — you won't win without that) to politicaljunkie@npr.org. And, by adding your name to the Political Junkie mailing list, you will be among the first on your block to receive notice about the column and the puzzle. Sign up at politicaljunkie@npr.org. Or you can make sure to get an automatic RSS feed whenever a new Junkie post goes up by clicking here. Good luck! By the way, I announce the winner on Wednesday's Junkie segment on TOTN. But with a new puzzle up every Monday afternoon, you should get your answer in as soon as possible. Here are the buttons used and the answer to the last puzzle: picture button of actor Alan Alda — Not much to add to that. George to George to George — The thinking being, since we've already had a President George (Washington) and a President George (H.W. Bush), it couldn't hurt to have another President George (W. Bush) in 2000.  Women's Faults Are Many/Men Have Only Two -- Notice I didn't complete the rest of the button's wording here. So, when you combine Alda + Presidents + Men, you may just very well end up with ... All the President's Men. The powerful Woodward/Bernstein book about Watergate that chronicled the end of the Nixon presidency, later made into a 1976 movie. (For the record, there were lots of answers of "All the King's Men." But these guys were presidents, not kings.) This week's winner, chosen completely at random, is ... Dan Seidman of Watertown, Mass. Dan gets a TOTN t-shirt. P.S. Don't forget to enter my "Guess the Romney VP" contest. Deadline is April 30. Send prediction to politicaljunkie@npr.org.

Bob claims that Beth Ditto has plenty of swagger, but that she lacks vocal dynamics. I think her strength lies in the way she practically hurls the words and melodies from her mouth. It's forceful, yes, but I think she knows when to hold back and build suspense. If Bob and I agree on a single thing tonight, it's going to be that The Gossip is one of the best live bands around.

Question: Five 'Scary' Experiments That Did Not Destroy The World

Scanning YouTube for popular science videos, I found a jewel — clocking over 10 million views — titled "Five Experiments That Could Have Destroyed The World." The fact that we are here means these experiments did not succeed on this front. The message, however, is quite clear: We toy dangerously with things we barely understand — and the consequences could be cataclysmic. It's the fear that humans are not prepared for certain kinds of knowledge as they explore forces beyond their control. Although this may be true in some cases, the following five experiments aren't the ones to worry about:  Kola Superdeep Borehole. Russian scientists started boring a hole in the Arctic Circle in 1970, reaching a depth of 40,230 feet (12,262 meters) by 1989. Despite the efforts, the hole reached only about one third of the way through the Baltic continental crust. It's certainly not planet-threatening but still very useful for geophysical studies, including the analysis of rocks from the Archaean age, older than 2.5 billion years. Although no demons from hell were freed (some feared they would be), a surprising discovery was the large amount of hydrogen that made the deep mud appear to be boiling. It was a typical Cold War project, as the U.S. held the record until this point with the Bertha Rogers hole in Washita County, Okla., at 31,440 feet (9,583 meters). Trinity Test. On July 16, 1945, the first nuclear bomb was detonated in the desert of New Mexico. This was the Trinity Test, the culmination of three years of relentless efforts by a team of American and European scientists to create a weapon of mass destruction capable of deterring the Nazis (and, more to the point, the Japanese.) Initial fears that the detonation could ignite the atmosphere were shown mathematically to be nearly impossible. The test was totally safe. ("Nearly impossible" means the odds are extremely low. Calculations are often statistical and not a yes or no answer. Still, if the odds are 1 in 10 billion, you can be pretty sure it won't happen.) Large Hadron Collider. The behemoth particle accelerator from the European Laboratory for Nuclear Research (CERN) located near Geneva, Switzerland, was designed to collide beams of protons moving nearly at the speed of light. On July 4, 2012, scientists reported the discovery of the Higgs boson after a four-decade-long search, a triumph of modern technology and advanced particle physics. The collisions can produce mini black holes, a possibility that prompted many to fear that such objects would grow uncontrollably, swallowing the planet whole. Again, detailed calculations showed this to be nearly impossible: The mini black holes would evaporate in fractions of a second. Furthermore, collisions of even higher energies occur frequently when cosmic rays — particles traveling through space — hit the molecules of nitrogen and oxygen in the upper atmosphere. If we have survived for more than 4 billion years, we should be safe from the LHC experiments. Starfish Prime. In 1962, the U.S. detonated a large nuclear bomb at an altitude of 250 miles, seeking to disrupt Soviet missile systems. The Cold War, again, was the culprit here. The detonation could be seen 900 miles away — and a radiation belt was created around Earth that lasted for 5 years, affecting low orbit satellites. But no planetary cataclysm should have been feared, apart from an exchange of fusion bombs with the Soviets. SETI. The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence is a program that has been looking for radio signals from alien civilizations for more than five decades. The fear here is that we are also sending signals that could betray our position in the galaxy, making us easy prey for the nasty aliens. Again, the odds are extremely low for many reasons; one being the vast interstellar distances that even with incredibly advanced technology would take hundreds or thousands of years to cover. (With our technologies, it would take some 100,000 years to get to our nearest stellar neighbors.) If advanced civilizations do exist in the galaxy — and that's far from certain — they would have had plenty of time to colonize their neighboring stellar systems. The absence of evidence of alien visitation should be a comfort to us. Not proof of total absence — for this kind of proof is impossible scientifically — but certainly of the rarity of advanced life forms in our galactic neighborhood.  The biggest fear, it seems to me, comes from mutually assured destruction due to global thermonuclear conflict, a threat that, even if more remote now, is always very present. Still, that's a cataclysm created not by scientists performing experiments, but by politicians that have the power to push the button.

Like many lawmakers, she represents a district heavily weighted toward her political party. The following is an edited version of their conversation: What\'s it like looking around the room at the Democrats\' freshman class? We definitely span the [political] spectrum. But I think that you\'ll find that in any party. You\'ll find those who are to the extremes of the right and the left on both sides of the aisle. Are you comfortable with the "liberal" label? I guess so. It\'s all relative. I would put myself towards left of center. What\'s your district like? It\'s very diverse. We have extreme wealth, abject poverty. We have every major religion. Certainly it\'s a unique blend of longtime stakeholders and new Americans, many immigrants. It\'s very diverse. What will you be seeking from Congress for your district? There are real issues around housing, and the pressures in the housing market. The pressure that has mounted to create opportunities for affordable housing is at an all-time high right now. There has been this stalemate [in Congress] around Section 8 [housing subsidies], which, in an urban area like mine, has been sort of the first rung on the ladder for many in the working class and working poor to get their foothold in the housing market. I know that if we have an opportunity, and I know we will, there will be a lot of conversation about this. Because it\'s not only New York City, it\'s places like Washington, D.C., and other urban areas [that need increased Section 8 assistance].  Does a balanced budget fit with your calls for more housing assistance? I\'m sure we\'ll have to have discussions along the way [about balancing budgets]. We want to make sure we create as many win-win scenarios as possible. And we want to be fiscally responsible. I don\'t think the two are mutually exclusive. Do blacks still feel at home in the Democratic Party? I think that there... certainly have been challenges along the way, that need to be addressed head on. I\'d like to think that we have a new day, a new moment and a new hour. And I can say that, certainly, I\'m bringing my unique chemistry to this body. And I will be very vocal in letting folks know when they\'re stepping on my corns! Are you expecting the Democratic Party to deliver on your concerns? I think that it only makes us a better party when we deliver better things, when we include everyone in the deliberation, and that their voice is a part of the chorus.']>>  to "['represent this short title to find a subtitle that might be right below it on npr', 'Rep.

Example:
Provided: "['Represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth:', 'Cyra McFadden grew up on the rodeo circuit, traveling all over the West with her free-spirited parents. She looks back with pride, regret, and humor on family life spent and misspent in the gaudy, gritty world of rodeo. Chapter 1: When they were young, my parents believed they were indestructible, so fast and flashy nothing could touch them. Cy was a lady-killer, a small, natty man who riverboat-gambler good looks struck women down like lightening bolts. My mother, the former Patricia Montgomery, was a vaudeville dancer, the star of the St. Louis Municipal Opera in the late twenties. When she married Cy, she turned trick rider in the rodeo equivalent of halftime shows. You can take the girl out of show biz, but you cannot take a little girl from Little Rock, or Paragould, which is close enough, and turn her into a house pet. At least not Pat, with her performer’s ego, her longing to shine. Tiny-waisted and white-skinned, her black hair slicked to her\tcheekbones in sculpted spit curls, she was Cy’s equal in recklessness, matching him drink for drink, seduction for seduction, irrational impulse for irrational impulse. Together they shot off sparks and left behind scorched earth, and if they ever thought about how their travels might end, they didn’t waste much time on sober reappraisal. They had more pressing concerns, the main one how to get to the next town with little money, a child and hangovers. My father’s schedule took him from Butte, Montana, to Salt Lake City, Utah, from Puyallup, Washington, to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and sometimes the travel time was a couple of days. We lived in a 1937 blue Packard, spending endless, viciously hot days in it going from Canada to New Mexico and back up to Wyoming, Utah and Idaho–wherever there were rodeos. We slept in that car, ate breakfast, lunch and dinner in it, sang along with the Sons of the Pioneers in it, quarreled in it. My parents must have made love in it, when I was asleep and the Packard parked behind the bleachers in some small-town fairground, waiting for daylight and the rodeo. Between them, there was a strong erotic pull. They walked with their hips touching and had flaming fights over each other’s real and imagined flirtations. Raised on a North Dakota farm, one of nine children of a French Canadian family, Cy had been a law student, a self-taught musician who led dance bands and played in Billings and Salt Lake City. In both towns, he was a celebrity, known as “The Singing Announcer” because until a tonsillectomy put an end to this facet of his career, he sang with his bands. The huge leather scrapbooks he kept all his life document some of these successes; but he claimed triumphs in everything he did, telling a writer for a trade paper called Hoofs and Horns, early in his rodeo career, that he’d won a Golden Gloves championship when he was boxing and given a recital at Carnegie Hall as a child prodigy violinist. How much of that interview is true, I don’t know, nor do I think Cy did. For much of his life, he was engaged in the game of inventing himself–adding to what was true what was desirable, stirring counterclockwise and serving up the mix. He must have swallowed much of it himself. What is fact is that after leaving law school with a theatrical troupe, he ended up, in his early twenties, in Great Falls, where he became a radio announcer and moonlighted as a musician. His hill-billy band, reported the Great Falls Tribune, drew 14,600 letters to the local radio station in six and a half weeks. This was roughly half the population of Great Falls at the time. It must have been a letter-writing town. After two months in St. Paul, Minnesota, as “announcer and entertainer,” Cy came back to Great Falls, and in 1929 was leading a trio during the dinner hour at the Hotel Rainbow and picking up other band jobs around town. “The Green Mill gardens, dinner and dancing resort on the paved extension of Second Avenue North, will be formally opened tonight. Eddie Stamy will be director of the orchestra that will play for at least four dances a week. Cy Taillon, Minneapolis, who handles the drums, violin, bells, piano, and most anything else, is charged with providing the sweet numbers.” Reprinted from Rain or Shine: A Family Memoir by Cyra McFadden by permission of the University of Nebraska Press.  © 1998 by the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska.']" Match: "['Represent this text to find its subtitle about the same news but with slightly more depth', "Excerpt: 'Rain or Shine'"]"

Your computer will soon become your TV. New technology will let you surf the Internet and watch your favorite reality show all on one device.  Nancy Marshal-Genzer of Marketplace talks about the latest must-have gadget that will move your computer from your office to your living room. ALEX CHADWICK, host:  From NPR News, it's DAY TO DAY.  Chances are there were quite a few digital devices under a lot of Christmas trees this morning. In fact the census bureau estimates that we spent almost $6 billion just on mp3 players this year. Soon there will be a new must have electronic gadget.  Marketplace's Nancy Marshal-Genzer joins us to explain.  Nancy, first of all, Merry Christmas. And now, what exactly is this new gadget we'll all be spending money on over the next few years?  NANCY MARSHAL-GENZER: Well, Alex, the buzz word here is connectivity. Analysts are saying finally the computer is going to start creeping into our living room. Now they've been promising this is the next best thing for a while, now they're saying it's actually going to start happening over the next five years. Our TV will start talking to our PC.  Now I asked tech analyst Steve Baker of NPD Group to explain exactly how this will work?  Mr. STEVE BAKER (Vice President of Industry Analysis, NPD Group): You're going to watch your television to be able to get on to the Internet to get movies on demand maybe, or to be able to watch, or shop directly through the Internet on your television.  CHADWICK: Nancy, if someone who's already put a battery in backwards in something today, how about making this technology work together? All kinds of fancy equipment, you know, sometimes it doesn't - these things don't like each other?  MARSHAL-GENZER: Alex, I share your fear. Yeah, that's a big risk. Manufacturers don't want people to get all excited about this next big thing. They want to be able to surf their Web on their TV, display their digital pictures on their TV. And you have consumers go out and spend a bunch of money on this all this new stuff and have it not work. Now, the manufacturer has to deliver on the promise that this will indeed be the next big thing.  CHADWICK: And if it is the next big thing, how long will it be the next big thing? Or is this going to be obsolete in another six or seven months?  MARSHAL-GENZER: Exactly. And a lot of people are waiting from everything from high definition TVs to this type of new technology. They want to try to actually future proof whatever they buy, getting the fanciest, most expensive gadgets they can find and hoping they'll hold up.  Now, I went to a mall in suburban Washington the other day, and one of the shoppers I talked to, a man named Edward Darden(ph). He tried that, and it didn't work. And now he says he's completely staying away from all electronics.  Mr. EDWARD DARDEN (Shopper): (unintelligible) isn't that what they used to call it. It hasn't gone away. As a matter of fact it's back big time and probably happening a lot faster than ever. Like I say, my stuff is obsolete in less than a year.  MARSHAL-GENZER: Now I have to tell you, Darden said he might actually be forced to buy a new high-definition TV when television stations starts sending out only digital signals that won't work on our old analog televisions.  CHADWICK: We'll wait and see. Thank you, Nancy.  Nancy Marshal-Genzer, of Public Radio's daily business show Marketplace produced by American Public Media.

Question: Documenting America's War On Crime From Within

represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on npr

Urban sociologist Alice Goffman decided to study the effects of America’s war on crime by living in a Philadelphia neighborhood for six years. She witnessed first-hand the stops, searches, raids and beatings that many of the young men of that neighborhood routinely faced. She experienced firsthand what it was like to be interrogated by the police and what happens when a SWAT team breaks down your door. And she witnessed a young man get killed as he left her car. Goffman published her research in the 2014 book “On the Run: Fugitive Life in an American City,” which is out in paperback today. Here & Now’s Robin Young spoke with Goffman in May 2014; today we revisit that conversation.

Question: A Nation Planted By Founding Fathers' Green Thumbs

As British troops closed in on New York City in the fall of 1776, Gen. George Washington had something crucially important on his mind. Congress had ordered him to hold the city, but on the eve of the battle, he set aside his maps and documents and began a letter to the steward of his estate, Mount Vernon, detailing the construction of a new garden. "What is more remarkable than the timing, really, is that he's asking for only native species," author Andrea Wulf tells All Things Considered guest weekend host Linda  Wertheimer. "As if he wants to create an all-American garden where no English tree is allowed to claw its roots in the soil." Wulf is the author of a new book, Founding Gardeners: the Revolutionary Generation, Nature, and the Shaping of the American Nation. She describes a side of the Founding Fathers not often seen: Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and James Madison were all avid — even obsessive — gardeners. Washington dreamed up a new way to collect and use manure in his gardens. Jefferson treasured the seeds brought back by the Lewis and Clark expedition and tried them all out at Monticello. But of all the founding fathers, it was John Adams who was really what we would recognize today as a gardener, "because he loves his dirt. He just loves getting his hands dirty and having his hands in the manure, in the soil," Wulf says. "He, whenever he is involved in political battles, he is yearning, yearning to be in his garden." Wulf adds that Abigail Adams probably welcomed her husband's obsession with his garden, because it helped him work off his famous temper. "He has this sort of totally visceral connection with the soil, I think." That connection with the soil was a central part of the founders' vision, Wulf says. "They all agree that agriculture should be the foundation of the American republic ... they believe that the independent, small-scale farmer ... is really the foot soldier of the infant nation." My first impressions of America were shaped when I went as a young woman on a seven- week road trip across the States, from Washington, D.C., to San   Francisco. We drove hundreds of miles on roads that never curved, along a grid that mankind had imposed on nature. Some days we passed sprawling factories that were pumping out clouds of billowing smoke; other days we saw vast fields that seemed to go on forever. Everything differed in scale from Europe, even suburban America, where rows and rows of painted clapboard houses sit proudly on large open plots of immaculately shorn lawns. America exuded a confidence that seemed to be rooted in its power to harness nature to man's will and I thought of it as an industrial, larger-than-life country. I certainly never thought of it in terms of gardening — whereas in Britain, everybody seems to be obsessed with their herbaceous borders and vegetable plots. In America, I believed, I was more likely to see someone driving a riding mower than pruning roses.  Then, in 2006, I went to visit Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's mountaintop home in Virginia, and began to understand how wrong I had been. On a sunny October morning, I stood on Jefferson's vegetable terrace, with straight lines of cabbages and squashes at my feet, and saw man and nature in perfect harmony. In the distance the horizon seemed to stretch into infinity; behind me was a manicured lawn lined with ribbons of flowers and, below, a romantic forest that crept into the gardens. The magnificent view from the terrace across the arboreal sea of autumnal reds and oranges of red maples, oaks, hickories and tulip poplars brought together Jefferson's neat plots of cultivated vegetables and sublime scenery of the Blue  Ridge Mountains. Jefferson had combined beauty with utility, the untamed wilderness of the forest with the orderly lines of apples, pears and cherries in the orchard, and colorful native and exotic flowers with a sweeping panorama across Virginia's spectacular landscape. If nature had been dominated by man, it seemed it was only in order to celebrate it.  Later, I couldn't put Monticello out of my mind. I was in the midst of writing about the eighteenth-century American farmer and plant collector John Bartram, the British obsession with gardens and the introduction of non-native plants into the English landscape — many of which had been sent by Bartram from the American colonies. The more I learned about Bartram, the more fascinated I became by the American relationship to nature during the eighteenth century.  I pored over the correspondence between John Bartram and Benjamin Franklin, and after my visit to Monticello, I learned that Thomas Jefferson and George Washington had also ordered plants from Bartram, and that James Madison had visited Bartram's garden just before the Great Compromise of the Constitutional Convention in the summer of 1787. I read in John Adams's diaries how much he enjoyed working in his garden, fork in hand. Slowly, through records, letters and diaries, I c
