Question: Your Ancestors Probably Ate Insects. So What's Bugging You?

Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details:

Grossed out by that maggot squirming in your apple? Your ancestors weren't. In fact, they probably would have popped the offending creature into their mouths and relished its savory flavor. At least, that's what Julie Lesnik thinks. Lesnik is an assistant professor of anthropology at Wayne State University. She studies how people (and their prehistoric relatives) have gathered, farmed, and cooked insects for food. Her new book, Edible Insects and Human Evolution, is primarily aimed at anthropologists and other researchers who study insects in the human diet. In it, she argues that people have been eating bugs for millennia, and our current disgust is a relatively new phenomenon. We asked Lesnik how insects faded from the modern dinner table and why she thinks that needs to change. Our conversation was edited for length and clarity. Where do people eat the most insects today? Southern Mexico. Mexico consumes more species of insect than any other country. And just eating grasshopper tacos — chapulines tacos — is probably the easiest way to eat insects, and the most delicious. Most people already love tacos. When they're cooked, they usually have a really nice crunch. You sometimes get an aroma like dried shrimp, as in southeast Asian cuisine. But they don't really taste like that. They're a little bit nutty. Any other favorites? Fresh boiled termites! With a little salt they taste just like popcorn. They're amazing. But they have to be fresh, just like popcorn. Most of them use acid as a defense mechanism. So you tend to get a lemony, acidic taste from termites. Is this a new habit of yours? When I first started this research I did not eat bugs. I was taking an entirely academic perspective on it, and I only ate termites once just to say I did. It took me a long time to get over this disgust that was deeply rooted in me. What archaeological evidence do we have that suggests pre-modern humans ate insects? We have evidence in the form of bone tools that are about 1.7 million years old from South Africa. They're scattered across a couple of sites but they are most abundant at a site known as Swartkrans. This site is mostly known for the fossil hominid Australopithecus robustus, a cousin of ours. How do you know these tools were used to gather insects? The way we know it is from using tools today. We make our own bone tools, and we do a bunch of experiments like digging into termite mounds, stripping bark off trees, and digging into the ground. When we compare wear patterns, we see that the artifacts match modern tools that have been used to dig into termite mounds. So if we ate bugs in the past, when did we stop, and why? It starts from an innocent environmental reason. The number of desirable insects for food drops as you get further away from the equator. Northern areas like Europe have seasons that are cold for part of the year. So edible insects were never a major part of European history because they weren't readily available. Then, think about these Europeans exploring for the first time. Christopher Columbus leaves Europe, goes down to the Caribbean. North Americans were portrayed like beasts because they ate things like insects, foods that Europeans had never seen before. And so eating insects became strongly stigmatized. It was immediately turned into an "us versus them" thing. "Civilized" Europeans would never think of eating bugs. How does the psychology of disgust play into all of this? It's important for people to be disgusted by the things that could transmit disease. We have to tell our kids "Don't play in the garbage" or "Don't play in the toilet." From an early age we tell children, "Don't put insects in your mouth" and then it sticks. But there's absolutely nothing wrong with eating insects if they're cleaned, cooked, and produced for human consumption. How does this attitude hurt people in developing countries? Our culture tends to permeate the globalized economy. Often, kids in developing countries don't want to eat insects because it's not what we're eating in America or Europe. Their grandparents may have eaten insects every day, but they have no interest in doing that. They want to eat the packaged food from the grocery store that the rest of the world eats. And so if we eliminate insects without a reasonable replacement, we just eliminate nutrients from their diet. Beyond the disgust factor, what's stopping Americans from eating bugs? Right now all of the regulations are state by state. They're vastly different for a cricket farm in Montana than a cricket farm in Colorado or New York. There is no language saying "these insects are clean," or "these insects are raised just for human consumption." That's stopping a lot of large, chain grocery stores from putting insects on their shelves. You can find them at co-ops, and you can shop online. But the large chains aren't doing it because the wording isn't there. What's preventing federal officials from issuing guidance? I was recently in D.C.

Question: Colombia Diaries: Watch Bomba Estereo Perform 'Respirar'

Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details.

English / Spanish In November 2010, Alt.Latino and PBS's Music Voyager went on an adventure throughout Colombia. We traveled from city to city, town to town, interviewing musicians. Throughout the next two weeks we'll be sharing those experiences with you on this blog. You can also see interviews and extended footage of performances on Music Voyager.  When I moved to the United States as a teenager, I landed in a Southern California suburb. I had never left fast-paced Buenos Aires, and when I got to the suburbs, the silence drove me absolutely insane. My ears were constantly straining to hear the sound of a motor, a street vendor or an argument. This, I thought, must be what outer space sounds like. I'm not dogging on the suburbs — it's just that after living in a city with the sonic density of Buenos Aires, noise was to me like water to a fish. I was gasping for sound. In the city of Bogotá, our first stop on our recent voyage throughout Colombia, the abundance of sound wrapped me like an old blanket. That Latin American urban symphony of squeaking bus wheels, sighing exhaust pipes and honking horns; the melodic chants of street vendors; the rhythmic murmur of hundreds of human beings discussing different things at the same time; grainy news radio coughing up the headlines; and the music, the salsa that pours out of car windows, the cumbia that blasts out of stores and the pulsing thumps of kids playing hip-hop, rock and techno. When Bomba Estereo first came onto the international music scene in 2009, with the explosive album "Blow Up," audiences where taken aback by their energy and seamless tailoring of techno, cumbia, salsa and champeta. To those of us who come from Latin American cities, it made perfect sense. Close your eyes and listen to their hit "Fuego." It sounds like standing on a Latin American street corner, but it also has a uniquely Colombian feel. We met with Bomba Estereo in Bogota on a rainy night at Gaita Café, a restaurant owned by popular musician Carlos Vives. A word on this restaurant: It's almost a temple to Colombian culture, dimly lit and beautifully decorated with portraits of Colombian greats like Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Toto La Momposina and items from Colombian performers (a belly dancing skirt worn by Shakira, a guitar played by Aterciopelados). We were expecting a typically loud Bomba Estereo concert. Instead, we got this very intimate, quiet performance of the song "Respirar." We were blown away by Li Saumets' vocals (her sighs and heaves capture the lyrics perfectly, that exhaustion that comes with loving someone who does not reciprocate) and by the guitar work of Julian Salazár. They are clearly a versatile band, as capable of delivering a raucous techno/cumbia/punk performance as they are of quieting down and getting introspective. Their music is as right in the club on Saturday night as it is over a cup of café con leche on Sunday morning. This slow, melancholy sound fits so perfectly into the bustling city soundtrack that is Bomba Estereo. If you ever are so fortunate to visit a Latin American city as beautiful as Bogotá, don't get overwhelmed by the tidal wave of noise. Buried in all that sound are poems and wishes; soft giggles and the "buenos dias" the paper boy mutters when you walk by. You just have know how to pick those sounds apart. Like Bomba Estereo does. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- English / Spanish Hace unos meses, viajamos a Colombia junto al programa de televisión Music Voyager. Durante dos semanas, recorrimos el país de punta a punta, entrevistando a músicos. En los próximos días, compartiremos nuestras experiencias con ustedes en este sitio.  Aventuras En Colombia: Bomba Estero "Respira" Cuando de adolescente me mudé a los Estados Unidos, fui a parar a los suburbios del sur de California. Hasta ese momento, jamás me había alejado del frenesí de Buenos Aires, y el silencio de los suburbios norteamericanos se me hizo absolutamente enloquecedor. Llegué a pensar que ese silencio debía ser parecido a flotar en el espacio exterior. Luego de vivir con la densidad sónica de Buenos Aires, de di cuenta que el ruido era para mi lo que el agua es para un pez. Hace unos meses cuando llegué a Bogotá, nuestra primera parada en una aventura a través de Colombia, los ruidos de esa ciudad se me hicieron como una manta tibia y familiar. Hablo de la sinfonía urbana latinoamericana: los gemidos de las ruedas de los autobuses; las bocinas; los gritos melódicos de los vendedores ambulantes; el murmullo rítmico que producen cientos de seres humanos cuando hablan a la misma vez y sobre cosas distintas; el sonido distante, casi afónico de las noticias de radio; y por encima de todo la música. Salsa, cumbia, rock, rap y tecno brotan de los automóviles, los negocios, las casas, e inundan la ciudad.

People often refer to the multi-layered, cacophonous style of Public Enemy's production team the Bomb Squad as a "wall of noise" — similar to Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound" — but to let Squad member Hank Shocklee tell it, their sample-heavy approach was less like Spector's and more akin to a particular collage-based visual artist's: "I had a ridiculous record collection. And I wanted to prove that it was the records that inspired me. Because ... I understand scales and musical arrangements and that stuff but I didn't have — I was not a player. I'm not going to pick up a bass or a guitar or keys and I'm going to, you know, put some virtuoso stuff down. That's not going to happen. But what I do have is a turntable and records. And so I just want to create this collage, almost like a Romare Bearden kind of a painting." Shocklee — alongside his brother, Keith, P.E. front man Chuck D and Eric "Vietnam" Sadler — was an architect of Public Enemy's distinct, attention-grabbing sound, and helped sampling evolve into an art form unto itself. Racking up production credits for a diverse list of collaborators that ranged from Ice Cube to Bell Biv Devoe, the Bomb Squad was an inspiration to a generation of influential musicians like Microphone Check's own Ali Shaheed Muhammad. At SXSW 2015 in Austin, Texas, Microphone Check spoke with Hank Shocklee about hip-hop's underappreciated technical ingenuity and why pop music doesn't appeal to him. ALI SHAHEED MUHAMMAD: Hank Shocklee! What up, Hank? HANK SHOCKLEE: I'm good, man. How you doing? MUHAMMAD: I'm good. SHOCKLEE: How's everybody? FRANNIE KELLEY: Hanging in. SHOCKLEE: Well, yeah. MUHAMMAD: Hanging in? SHOCKLEE: We're here at SXSW. MUHAMMAD: What's that mean? KELLEY: I'm tired. MUHAMMAD: Oh yeah. KELLEY: Everybody's tired. I met Hank Shocklee out of nowhere like at ten o'clock two nights ago? Something like that. SHOCKLEE: Yes. Yes. KELLEY: He came up. He was like leaning the fence, "Hi. I am Hank Shocklee. I produced for Public Enemy." And I was like, "I know who you are. What can I give you?" SHOCKLEE: It's funny because I have to always preface that. Because what else am I going to say? Because people are like, "Well, who? Yeah, right. Whatever." But yeah. And you helped me out. And I said, "Look." You said, "I want you to come to this show that I'm doing." And I didn't even know that she was doing it with you. MUHAMMAD: Oh word? SHOCKLEE: I thought it was just her, her show. I was like, "Yeah. OK. I'll come by." I was going to say a few words on the camera and that's it. KELLEY: Well, that's nice of you. SHOCKLEE: But then when we found out, I was like, "Ah!" MUHAMMAD: Yeah. KELLEY: The real deal. SHOCKLEE: Yeah. Credible. MUHAMMAD: Happy to have you here, man. SHOCKLEE: Thank you. Appreciate it. KELLEY: Do you remember when you guys first met? Sorry to cut you off. MUHAMMAD: Hm. I don't remember -- SHOCKLEE: You know something? None of us remember how we met because at that time, right, it was more of a synergy thing. MUHAMMAD: Yeah. SHOCKLEE: We were kind of like — we flow around so many different people then. MUHAMMAD: Yeah. The same people — we were trying to get in your area of being noticed, really. I mean, but -- SHOCKLEE: Well, I remember that I was working with the Jungle Brothers. And I was trying to secure them a deal at Warner Brothers. And so I knew Afrika and then I got to Chris through there. And Chris gave me the tape of you guys when you guys were first starting out. And it was the most amazing stuff I've ever heard. And I think there was like five songs on there. MUHAMMAD: That's a great memory. SHOCKLEE: But c'mon. That's something you can't forget because it was cassette, you know? And I remember when I listened to it, it had — I can't remember all the songs but I know "Left My Wallet" was on there. MUHAMMAD: Yup. KELLEY: And "Bonita." MUHAMMAD: And "Bonita." SHOCKLEE: Yeah. Yeah. That's right. And that tape, I listened to that; I was amazed. I said, "Let me get this to Russell." Because, you know, I figured, well, maybe I get it to Russell I can produce it. Or help produce it. Or do a song. Whatever, you know? But the songs were already tight. And I took it to Russell and he was like, "Nah. They not rapping hard enough." And I was like, "Are you kidding me?" But then, that's when I knew that, you know, he's Uncle Russ. We love him and everything else. But that's when I knew that he — that's when I knew it was going to be a hit. MUHAMMAD: Interesting. Really? SHOCKLEE: Yeah. KELLEY: How do you mean? SHOCKLEE: Well, because I used to look at Russell and Rick and I used to play them off of each other. It's like, I'll take a record to Russell and if Russell hated it, it was a smash. Everybody in the streets would love it. But if he liked it, that meant I had to go back in the studio and work on it. KELLEY: You had a similar thing with Lyor? MUHAMMAD: Yeah. Lyor would ask me about certain groups and if it was stuff I liked or loved, he'd be like, "Ah,

What's it like to see the president in his pajamas? There are a few people who might know: his children, the first lady, perhaps his highest aides -- and his photographer. John F. Kennedy was the first president to have an official photographer -- Cecil Stoughton -- starting in 1963. Since then, nearly every president has had a photographer follow him from the most public appearance to the most stressful situation to the quietest moment. Today, Pete Souza follows Obama around the world, and you can follow him on Flickr. A new National Geographic book, The President's Photographer: Fifty Years Inside the Oval Office anthologizes some of the presidency's most iconic and intimate moments. Lyndon B. Johnson takes the oath of office on Air Force One after Kennedy's assassination. Betty Ford dances on the Cabinet Room table on one of her last nights in the White House. President Obama lets a young boy feel his hair. Two presidential photographers -- David Hume Kennerly (Gerald Ford) and David Valdez (George H. W. Bush) -- join NPR host Liane Hansen on Weekend Edition Sunday to discuss their experiences.

Question: Songs We Love: Bomba Estereo, 'Mar (Lo Que Siento)'

Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details!

Bomba Estéreo has always been associated with fiery, trance-inducing dance songs like "Fuego." But one of their lesser-known sweet spots is in the more mellow, breezy songs, the kind you want to listen to after a full night of hard-partying, while recovering on a beach, watching the sun rise. The Colombian duo exploded onto the scene around 2009 with the album Blow Up, led by colorful Caribbean wild-child Li Saumet. They took audiences' hand and dragged them into an insane Colombian dance party filled with African rhythms and some amazing electronic beats. And they where a bit of an antidote to the soap-boxing that exists in the genre known as Latin Alternative. The duo seemed to understand that to dance and celebrate can be every bit as defiant as any long winded revolution song. "Mar (Lo Que Siento)" is an anthem about traveling the world in search of happiness, only to realize it was back home all along, in a little house on the beach. "It's only a moment, it's only what I feel," sings Saumet. She's Latin America's favorite party girl, the one who sings "if you don't bite me I will bite you" in "La Boquilla." She's that woman you want to be friends with. But it's in those moments of vulnerability and shyness, that she — and the music — is at it's most endearing.

Question: Mysterious 'Habibi' Cuts To The Core Of Humanity

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

Craig Thompson's 2003 graphic novel Blankets is a book that people like me hand to people like you when we want you to understand that comics are much more than superheroes — that they are a medium, a singular means of storytelling with its own rich language, idioms and rules. In Thompson's 600-page semi-autobiographical tome, a young man gripped in the often-painful process of discovering his adult self attempts to forge a spiritual and artistic identity even as he falls helplessly in love with a girl who represents everything his life has been missing. Thompson deftly married spare text to often lyrical imagery to create in the reader the same exhilarating tension of first love that seizes his hero. Now Thompson brings that mastery of the alchemical mixture of word and picture only possible on the comics page to the much-anticipated Habibi, set somewhere in a modern yet resolutely mythical Middle East. The novel's ambitions are larger than those of Blankets, and its subjects many: In just the opening chapters, Thompson gamely tackles nothing less than the roots of religion, the nature of masculinity and femininity, the lasting toll of physical and sexual trauma, our fragile relationship with the environment and, for good measure, why we tell stories to one another. In another's hands, such weighty abstractions could easily result in a leaden, highly pedantic "novel of ideas," but Habibi never feels top-heavy because it remains, at its center, a love story. Every grand theme that recurs over the course of its nearly 700 pages, every lofty idea Thompson explores, grows out of the love — the uncomplicated, palpable, eminently relatable yearning — that his two main characters feel for each other. As the novel begins, a beautiful young woman and a small boy eke out a meager existence in the shelter provided by a ship stranded in the middle of the desert. Thompson moves fluidly back and forth in time and slowly parcels out their back stories — the novel will be almost half over before we find out how they arrived at that boat or what causes them to get separated from one another for much of the story — but we feel the strength of their connection immediately, because he shows it to us. Thompson draws faces and figures in a style reminiscent of the great Will Eisner, combining precise draftsmanship with an eye for the characterizing, cartoonish detail. It's a degree of skill that ensures his characters interact with subtlety and elegance. The boy and the woman do get separated, and over the course of the novel, which takes them through slums, harems, prisons, poisoned rivers and empty high-rises, the nature of their love for one another will change in unexpected ways. At their loneliest, they will both seek comfort in stories from the Quran, which the author brings to life in passages of intricate design and arresting beauty. In these sections, Thompson employs Arabic calligraphy, magic squares and other elements of Islamic art and architecture to weave patterns and shapes on the page that seem to hold his characters suspended in space.  It's as if these stories of prophets and miracles are physically supporting the woman and the boy, just as they provide emotional support. These pages offer the clearest demonstrations of Thompson's ability to blend scholarship, sensitivity and skill in service of the timeless human story he wants to tell. Habibi is a complex and multifaceted work of fiction that lingers in the memory. Once you finish it, you will be left with the distinct feeling that it hasn't finished with you, that it is a book you could read again in a year or a decade and have it speak to you in a new voice each time, offering up new connections you were not previously able to see. Of all the books I've read this year, the mysterious, marvelous Habibi is the one I most look forward to meeting again.

Life In Prison: Jared Loughner, the 24-year-old who pleaded guilty to killing six people and wounding 13 others during a shooting spree at a congressional meet-and-greet in Tucson, Ariz., will spend the rest of his life in prison. Loughner was sentenced today as a U.S. District Court in Tucson, Ariz. Before the judge handed down his punishment, victims and their families addressed Loughner and the court. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head during her event, looked directly at Loughner, according to reporters tweeting the proceedings. Her husband, the former astronaut Mark Kelly, spoke for her, according to Ryan Haarer a reporter for KVOA. "Everyday is a continuous struggle to do the things she was once so very good at," Kelly said as Giffords looked directly at Loughner. Kelly said that his wife struggles to walk, is "partially blind" and her arm is paralyzed. "Mr. Loughner, by making death and producing tragedy, you sought to extinguish the beauty of life. To diminish potential. To strain love. And to cancel ideas. You tried to create for all of us a world as dark and evil as your own," Kelly said according to his prepared remarks. "But know this, and remember it always: You failed." Kelly added: "Mr. Loughner, you may have put a bullet through her head, but you haven\'t put a dent in her spirit and her commitment to make the world a better place." Other victims said they understood that Loughner did not choose to have a mental disorder, but they did not understand his actions. Some of them said the mental health system let him down. Suzie Hileman, the neighbor who took nine-year-old Christina-Taylor Green, Loughner\'s youngest victim, to the event, told Loughner that she did not want to be standing at the sentencing. "I don\'t want to be here at all," she said. Then she looked at Loughner and told him it was all "because of you." "I forgive you," Hileman said. "But not the act." According to the reporters tweeting the hearing, Loughner sat through each statement without showing emotion. Haarer reported that he did not take his eyes off each speaker, looking "seemingly engaged." Federal Judge Larry Burns said Loughner was not insane at the time of the crime. "He knew what he was doing," Burns said according to The Arizona Republic\'s Wendy Halloran. So, he has no insanity defense. That\'s why Burns handed down a symbolic and "astronomical" sentence of seven consecutive life terms plus 140 years. Kelly finished his statement saying that Loughner will have decades to think about what he did. "But after today. After this moment. Here and now," he said. "Gabby and I are done thinking about you." Our Original Post Continues: Jared Loughner, the 24-year-old man who plead guilty to killing six people and wounding 13 others during a shooting spree at a congressional meet-and-greet in Tucson, will be sentenced shortly. Gabrielle Giffords, the former congresswoman from Arizona, who was shot in the head, is present at the hearing going on now in a U.S. District Court. With his plea deal, Loughner will avoid the death penalty. But The Arizona Republic reports that Loughner is expected to be sentenced to life. The paper adds:  "Thursday, Loughner, now 24, will be sentenced in U.S. District Court in Tucson. Under terms of the plea agreement hammered out by prosecutors and defense attorneys in August, Loughner will spend the rest of his life in prison, and given his fragile mental state, most likely in a federal prison psychiatric ward.

Here\'s a bit of what Kelly said, according to his prepared remarks:  "In this state we have elected officials so feckless in their leadership that they would say, as in the case of Governor Jan Brewer, \'I don\'t think it has anything to do with the size of the magazine or the caliber of the gun.\' She went on and said, \'Even if the shooter\'s weapon had held fewer bullets, he\'d have another gun, maybe. He could have three guns in his pocket\' – she said this just one week after a high capacity magazine allowed you to kill six and wound 19 others, before being wrestled to the ground while attempting to reload. Or a state legislature that thought it appropriate to busy itself naming an official Arizona state gun just weeks after this tragedy occurred, instead of doing the work it was elected to do: encourage economic growth, help our returning veterans and fix our education system. "The challenges we face are so great, but the leadership in place is so often lacking.

Question: Meryl Streep: The Fresh Air Interview

Meryl Streep won a Golden Globe for her performance as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady. She talks about preparing for that role and how her perceptions of herself have changed over the years. Originally broadcast Feb. 6, 2012. DAVID BIANCULLI, HOST:  This is FRESH AIR. I'm David Bianculli sitting in for Terry Gross. In the new film "Into The Woods," Meryl Streep plays the wicked witch. (SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "INTO THE WOODS") MERYL STREEP: (As The Witch) By midnight tomorrow, bring me the items or that child you wish for will never see the light of day. (SCREAMING) BIANCULLI: Streep has just received a record-breaking 29th Golden Globe nomination for her role in the screen adaptation of the Stephen Sondheim musical. She already has won eight Golden globes. Terry spoke to Meryl Streep in 2012, the year she won an Oscar for her portrayal of former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher in the movie "The Iron Lady. Streep is famous, among other things, for her uncanny ability to do accents. For "The Iron Lady" she had to capture how Thatcher's voice evolved over the course of her political career. At the age of 49, Thatcher became the first woman to lead the conservative party. In this scene, she's speaking before the House of Commons as the men in the room try to shout her down. (SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "THE IRON LADY") STREEP: (As Margaret Thatcher) Teachers cannot teach when there is no heating, no lighting in their classrooms, and I ask the Right Honourable Gentleman, whose fault is that? (SOUNDBITE OF SHOUTING) DAVID WESTHEAD: (As Shadow Minister) Methinks the Right Honourable Lady doth screech too much. (SOUNDBITE OF LAUGHTER) BIANCULLI: Thatcher later took voice lessons from a drama coach to help her sound more authoritative. Here's Streep as Thatcher after those lessons addressing parliament about the war in the Falklands. (SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "THE IRON LADY") STREEP: (As Margaret Thatcher) We were faced with an act of unprovoked aggression, and we responded as we have responded in times past, with unity, strength and courage, sure in the knowledge that though much is sacrificed, in the end, right will prevail over wrong. (SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED BROADCAST) TERRY GROSS, HOST:  Meryl Streep, welcome to FRESH AIR. Thank you so much for being here. STREEP: Thank you very much for having me, Terry. I'm a huge fan. GROSS: Oh, whoa, thank you. (LAUGHTER) GROSS: So we just heard you before and after Margaret Thatcher has voice lessons, voice lessons to teach her authority and power so that she can speak more powerfully to the Parliament. How did you change your voice for the before and after, for the more confident and experienced Margaret Thatcher versus the early Margaret Thatcher? STREEP: Well, I had evidence of both voices, you know, from the public record. So I could listen to them. And it's sort of my fun to sing along with records and imitate people who are on the telephone that have different ways of speaking. I mean, I pick things up like that. So it's not a thing that's a struggle. It's work, but it's not a struggle. It's fun. And she had a very particular way of emphasizing points and making her point, and that had to do with bringing out a word that you didn't normally think was the most important word in the sentence. Do you know what I mean? GROSS: Yes. STREEP: And she also had a sort of a way, like a railroad train, of going, taking a breath and starting quite quietly and making a point in a way that you don't really know that this point is going to be made through several examples, and there will be not be a break in the speaking voice at any point. And you - if you think you're going to interrupt, you're really not going to have the opportunity because she's just got capacity. It's just really stunning as I looked at interviews. GROSS: So you need a lot of breath to keep talking like that. Did you have it? STREEP: I've just been talking like that. (LAUGHTER) STREEP: Yeah, I did need a lot of breath. I needed much more breath than I have, after all of my expensive drama school training. I couldn't keep up with her. GROSS: I think it's interesting that when you're doing the voice of a real person, or I suppose if you're learning an accent, too, you think of it as singing along with a record. So is that what you do? Like you play Margaret Thatcher giving a speech, and you do the equivalent of singing along with it, you give the speech as you're listening to it? STREEP: I say that because that's my way in the very beginning - how to enter it. Very quickly in the process, I don't think about voice being separate from the way you hold your head or the way you sit or the way you put on lipstick. It's all a piece of a person, and it's all driven by conviction. In other characters, it's driven by insecurity, or it's driven by fear, or - there's always a driver. And all the physical manifestations, you need your way in. So yeah, when I was a kid, when I was 16, 17, I'd come home from high school, and my dad

Question: From Campbell's To Kellogg's, Classic Brands Are Feeling The Crunch

Think about the last time you went to the supermarket. You probably spent no more than a few seconds choosing from all the different brands of toothpaste, frozen peas or oatmeal. Those few seconds used to be the holy grail for brands, the moment you would get hooked forever on that Tide detergent or Heinz ketchup — an event referred to as "the first moment of truth." But lately, the moment of truth has moved to the Internet. What's more, ripples from the 2008 recession have changed us as shoppers.  More and more people have started saying: "I'm not a brand person." Those five fateful words come from Juliet McFadden, 23, an office manager in Boston. For consumer brands used to owning American cupboards and closets, that sentiment spells trouble and signals a turning point: evolve or wither.  It has been a tumultuous period for giant consumer brand companies. Campbell Soup Co. is in the process of selling off parts of its business and welcoming a new chief executive. Procter & Gamble is restructuring. Unilever, which makes Dove soap and Hellmann's mayonnaise, has also hired a new CEO.  As far back as 2015, research firm Catalina reported that 90 of the top 100 brands in consumer packaged goods had lost market share.  To understand that trend, consider a shopper like McFadden. She is just starting to build her finances and lifelong shopping habits. This makes her a prime target for consumer-goods companies like Procter & Gamble, Kraft Heinz or General Mills. But she's not easy to win over.  For example, McFadden doesn't like cereal. "I just don't usually eat breakfast," she says. She doesn't drink soda and dislikes yogurts "with a ton of sugar with them." She doesn't buy paper towels and prefers reusable washable rags. "Paper towels are expensive," she says. "Stuff like that adds up." The tastes of McFadden's generation often get treated with the tired trope about millennials killing breakfast cereal, napkins, bar soap, canned tuna. But really, most Americans could make a similar list. Maybe you choose the store brand of toilet paper; or you buy a fancier condiment instead of Hellmann's mayo; or you order eco-friendly diapers on the Internet. "Rather than just relying on brand familiarity, consumers buy today what performs for them. They are much less brand-loyal," says David Luttenberger of market-research firm Mintel. "They are more driven by performance, by convenience, by price." During the Great Recession, Americans warmed up to cheaper off-brand products, like generic or store brands. And then, they kept buying them even as the economy improved.  Plus, the Internet — of course — has completely shaken up shopping.  Think about how people used to discover new brands. Only the biggest conglomerates could afford prime TV advertising and prominent placement in stores, right around eye level.  And so the baby boomer generation of shoppers grew up reaching for ubiquitous products like Campbell's soup, Heinz ketchup, Oscar Mayer hot dogs or P&G's Crest toothpaste.  Some of these names remain longtime favorites among loyal older shoppers. In a 2018 Morning Consult poll, Procter & Gamble and Kimberly-Clark were the two top brands preferred by boomers, far more than U.S. adults overall.  Meanwhile, tech investors have been funding startups to bring Silicon Valley "disruption" to products such as toothbrushes, vitamins and tampons. Wall Street has become cautious about once-dominant consumer brands. Shares of companies like Kellogg, Kraft Heinz and General Mills recently hit their lowest levels in years.  "They're in a bit of a pickle," says Americus Reed, marketing professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. "Like in the music industry, very few artists can continue being successful in the sophomore and junior album, right? ... It is a big challenge to reinvent yourself over and over again." But that's exactly what companies are trying to do with brands to survive. In 2017, Procter & Gamble cut the price of its razors and replacement blades to compete against online-subscription upstarts Dollar Shave Club and Harry's. Rival Unilever went all in and bought the Dollar Shave Club for $1 billion. Kimberly-Clark — whose brands include Kleenex, Huggies and Kotex —  was struggling so much that it announced plans to lay off 13 percent of its workers and shutter 10 plants. Among various brand revamps, the company has launched a new Scott toilet paper without the center tube to appeal to the environmentally conscious shopper.  General Mills renamed the classic Hamburger Helper as simply "Helper." In a quiet feat, Kraft Heinz managed to take out artificial preservatives and dyes from its classic macaroni and cheese without angering devotees. The 149-year-old Campbell Soup Co. has been the poster child of the struggle to adjust to an age where people want convenient, fresher products with ingredients they can pronounce.  Canonized by Andy Warhol in the heat-and-serve postwar era, Campbell is acutely feeling A

Question: Heavy Rotation: 10 Songs Public Radio Can't Stop Playing

Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details

Public radio stations across the U.S. have a finger on the pulse when it comes to local music. They know their homegrown music scenes intimately and aren't shy about championing the artists that emerge from their communities. That's the reason NPR Music turned to them this spring when we launched our cross-country Tiny Desk Contest tour celebrating local bands and artists — and that's part of why, every month, we ask a panel of public-radio music curators to share one new song they can't stop playing. These selections don't have to be local music, but that's often the way it works out. After all, who better to turn us on to Austin punk band A Giant Dog than a KUTX DJ, or to play us a new track by Chicago rapper Vic Mensa than a WBEZ host? Hear those songs below, along with new music by Ryley Walker, Michael Kiwanuka, Sarah Jarosz and more.

This month the Global Fund will vote to continue or scrap a $225 million project that subsidizes the cost of the most effective malaria drugs in seven African countries. Supporters of the pilot program say it has been a success. It slashed the cost of effective drug treatment and boosted its availability. But some critics argue the program has done more harm than good. It puts drugs in the hands of untrained, unsupervised shopkeepers, who don\'t know how to diagnose and properly treat malaria. Today there\'s a new wrinkle in the debate. Some U.S. researchers have estimated what effect the drug subsidies had in curbing malaria. Their conclusions don\'t look promising. They suggest that in many places malaria has been substantially overtreated. By analyzing a variety of maps and surveys, researchers at the Clinton Health Access Initiative found that private pharmacies have handed out costly malaria drugs indiscriminately to patients with bad fevers without first checking for the parasite. They estimate that more than 400 million doses of malaria drugs went to people without the disease. In some countries, the number of drug doses "dwarfs the number of actual incident malaria cases that occur," the authors write in the journal Science. This is double trouble. It means kids with pneumonia haven\'t been getting treated for their illness and that costly malaria drugs have been wasted. In a companion commentary, infectious disease doctors at Harvard and Stanford offer a few solutions for fixing the subsidies program, especially when it comes to treating children. They say pharmacies need to stock up, not only on drugs, but also on malaria diagnostic kits. And, all children should be tested for the parasite before given treatment.

Question: Julian Waterfall Pollack on Piano Jazz

Pianist Julian Waterfall Pollack is burning up the San Francisco jazz scene and he's not even 20. Pollack comes from a long line of musicians; his mother is a classical concert pianist and his first piano teacher. His father, a conductor and jazz saxophonist first introduced Julian to jazz. His grandparents also worked as professional musicians. Though Pollack's career has been relatively short, he's racked up a number of honors. Down Beat named Pollack's group "Outstanding High School Instrumental Group" in 2004 and 2005. At the Next Generation Festival put on by the Monterey Jazz Festival, Pollack was named the "Outstanding Combo Soloist" for 2004, 2005 and 2006. He also reigned as principle pianist for the San Francisco All-Star High School Ensemble for his entire high school career. Pollack has appeared on some of the world's best stages — from the international festivals of Umbria and Montreux to impressive U.S. venues such as Lincoln Center, Dizzy's and Yoshi's. Pollack's musical interests are varied. He is well-versed in classical music in addition to jazz, and many of his original compositions reflect his interest in modern pop music and rock and roll. His first album, Alive Again, was a self-released venture with a set of pop-inflected tunes on which Pollack plays all the instruments and sings. His latest album, Goin' For It, is on JazzSchool Records and demonstrates his solid jazz chops. Originally recorded Nov. 14, 2006.

Question: Excerpt: How The Light Gets In

ONE Audrey Villeneuve knew what she imagined could not possibly be happening. She was a grown woman and could tell the difference between real and imagined. But each morning as she drove through the Ville-Marie Tunnel from her home in east-end Montréal to her office, she could see it. Hear it. Feel it happening. The first sign would be a blast of red as drivers hit their brakes. The truck ahead would veer, skidding, slamming sideways. An unholy shriek would bounce off the hard walls and race toward her, all-consuming. Horns, alarms, brakes, people screaming. And then Audrey would see huge blocks of concrete peeling from the ceiling, dragging with them a tangle of metal veins and sinews. The tunnel spilling its guts. That held the structure up. That held the city of Montréal up. Until today. And then, and then ... the oval of daylight, the end of the tunnel, would close. Like an eye. And then, darkness. And the long, long wait. To be crushed. Every morning and each evening, as Audrey Villeneuve drove through the engineering marvel that linked one end of the city with another, it collapsed. "It'll be all right." She laughed to herself. At herself. "It'll be all right." She cranked the music louder and sang loudly to herself. But still her hands on the steering wheel tingled, then grew cold and numb, and her heart pounded. A wave of slush whacked her windshield. The wipers swept it away, leaving a half moon of streaky visibility. Traffic slowed. Then stopped. Audrey's eyes widened. This had never happened before. Moving through the tunnel was bad enough. Stopped in it was inconceivable. Her brain froze. "It'll be all right." But she couldn't hear her voice, so thin was her breath and so great the howl in her head. She locked the door with her elbow. Not to keep anyone out, but to keep herself in. A feeble attempt to stop herself from flinging open the door and running, running, screaming out of the tunnel. She gripped the wheel. Tight. Tight. Tighter. Her eyes darted to the slush-spattered wall, the ceiling, the far wall. The cracks. Dear God, cracks. And the half-hearted attempts to plaster over them. Not to repair them, but hide them. That doesn't mean the tunnel will collapse, she assured herself. But the cracks widened and consumed her reason. All the monsters of her imagination became real and were squeezing out, reaching out, from between those faults. She turned the music off so she could concentrate, hyper-vigilant. The car ahead inched forward. Then stopped. "Go, go, go," she pleaded. But Audrey Villeneuve was trapped and terrified. With nowhere to go. The tunnel was bad, but what waited for her in the gray December sunlight was worse. For days, weeks, months—even years, if she was being honest—she'd known. Monsters existed. They lived in cracks in tunnels, and in dark alleys, and in neat row houses. They had names like Frankenstein and Dracula, and Martha and David and Pierre. And you almost always found them where you least expected. She glanced into the rearview mirror and met two frightened brown eyes. But in the reflection she also saw her salvation. Her silver bullet. Her wooden stake. It was a pretty party dress. She'd spent hours sewing it. Time she could have, should have, spent wrapping Christmas gifts for her husband and daughters. Time she could have, should have, spent baking shortbread stars and angels and jolly snowmen, with candy buttons and gumdrop eyes. Instead, each night when she got home Audrey Villeneuve went straight to the basement, to her sewing machine. Hunched over the emerald green fabric, she'd stitched into that party dress all her hopes. She would put it on that night, walk into the Christmas party, scan the room and feel surprised eyes on her. In her clingy green dress, frumpy Audrey Villeneuve would be the center of attention. But it wasn't made to get everyone's attention. Just one man's. And when she had that, she could relax. She'd hand over her burden, and get on with life. The faults would be repaired. The fissures closed. The monsters returned to where they belonged. The exit to the Champlain Bridge was in sight. It wasn't what she normally took, but this was far from a normal day. Audrey put on her signal and saw the man in the next car give her a sour look. Where did she think she was going? They were all trapped. But Audrey Villeneuve was more trapped. The man gave her the finger, but she took no offense. In Québec it was as casual as a friendly wave. If the Québécois ever designed a car, the hood ornament would be a middle finger. Normally she'd give him a "friendly wave" back, but she had other things on her mind. She edged into the far right lane, toward the exit to the bridge. The wall of the tunnel was just feet away. She could have stuck her fist into one of the holes. "It'll be all right." Audrey Villeneuve knew it would be many things, but all right probably wasn't one of them. From How The Light Gets In by Louise Penny. Copyright 2013 by Three Pines C

Question: A 97-Year-Old Mexican Jazz Drummer's Latest Gig

Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details:

In music, there are legends and there are icons. And then there's Tino Contreras. At 97 years old, he is an iconic living legend. Describing him as just a jazz drummer from Mexico City severely underplays his contribution to the presence of jazz in Mexico.  Tino Contreras was born into a family of musicians in the northwestern Mexican state of Chihuahua in 1924. In his 20s, Contreras moved to Juarez where he would cross the border into El Paso, seeking out pre-war jazz and swing from travelling New York musicians. In the '50s, he moved to Mexico City and launched a career that made him a pioneer of Mexican jazzistas: hardcore post-boppers who mixed Mexican influences into their music.  Since the 1950s, he's had a prolific recording career with albums released in every decade. His music spans straight-ahead jazz, mariachi jazz, Afro-Caribbean rhythms and a series of hard-to-find records that included pre-Colombian musical forms and instruments.  And this month, as he celebrates his 97th birthday, he will give live performances online from the former home of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, the famous Casa Azul in Mexico City.  This interview is completely in Spanish. A conversation with Don Tino is very much like jazz: it takes unexpected twists and turns, and is full of on-the-spot improvisations.

Question: Romney Wins GOP Caucuses in Nevada

Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney won the GOP caucuses in Nevada Saturday by a wide margin, his third early contest victory. 	It was a lonely win, though, since Romney's rivals have been concentrating their efforts on the concurrent primary in South Carolina: a state that has consistently foretold the Republican nomination since 1980. 	"Today, the people of Nevada voted for change in Washington. For far too long, our leaders have promised to take the action necessary to build a stronger America," Romney said in a released statement following his victory. 	Exit polls conducted by the Associated Press and TV Networks show that one-fifth of the Republican caucus-goers were Mormons, who overwhelmingly supported Romney, who has been active in the religion since childhood. 	Nevada Republicans said the economy and illegal immigration were the largest problems facing the country. Romney turned his attention to Nevada after his primary win in Michigan on Tuesday. Only his Republican rival, Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, paid attention to the state as well and ran advertisements. Nevada has seven more Republican delegates than South Carolina, but less party history and prestige. A Las Vegas Review-Journal poll released Friday showed Romney with a comfortable lead in Nevada, garnering 34 percent of the vote to 19 percent for Sen. John McCain of Arizona and 13 percent for former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. Romney took a campaign break Friday to appear on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."  	This marks the first year Nevada has held its caucuses so early, pushed in part by Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who hoped early voting in his home state could help his party capitalize on their growing appeal amongst Western voters.  	Nevada Republican caucus-goers cast ballots for the candidate of their choice and had to register 30 days in advance to participate.  From NPR Staff Reports and the Associated Press

In Myanmar this week, two reporters were sentenced to seven years in jail after they reported on the brutal murder of 10 Rohynga Muslims in the village of Inn Din. The reporting drew “for the first time on interviews with Buddhist villagers who confessed to torching Rohingya homes, burying bodies and killing Muslims.” Reuters reported on their sentencing:  A court found the two journalists guilty on Monday in a landmark case seen as a test of progress towards democracy in Myanmar, which was ruled by a military junta until 2011. Wa Lone, 32, and Kyaw Soe Oo, 28, were investigating the killing of villagers from the Rohingya Muslim minority by security forces and civilians in Rakhine State when they were arrested in December. They had pleaded not guilty.

Deeply troubled by the Burmese court ruling sentencing 2 @Reuters journalists to 7 years in jail for doing their job reporting on the atrocities being committed on the Rohingya people. — Vice President Mike Pence (@VP) September 4, 2018   The United Kingdom leveled charges against two Russians. They are alleged to have used a weapons-grade nerve agent for “the attempted murder of the Russian former intelligence officer, Sergei V. Skripal; of Yulia S. Skripal, his daughter; and of a police officer, Det. Sgt. Nick Bailey, who was sickened while investigating the case.” The British government identified them as active members of Russian intelligence. It’s unlikely that these alleged G.R.U agents will be repatriated to Britain to stand trial and the Russian government denied the charges. A spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry said the names and photos that were released “meant nothing to them.” Is there a reset on the horizon for the U.S. and Pakistan? Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with the new Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday. Tensions have long been high between the two countries due to the ongoing war in Afghanistan. Pompeo will visit India next, where this week activists cheered as the Supreme Court decriminalized gay intercourse. Violating that law was punishable by a life sentence. A devastating museum fire in Brazil meant the loss of countless cultural artifacts. The museum held the largest anthropological history collection in the Americas. But some museum officials say that the fire could have been prevented, according to The New York Times.  “We knew that the fire one day was bound to happen,” said Marcelo Weksler, a curator of the mammals exhibit. “Everybody here knew that. It was our worst nightmare.” A citizen’s complaint, filed with the federal prosecutor’s office in Rio de Janeiro by an architect on July 27, included photos and pointed to specific hazards like the use of flammable plastic on the roof, uncovered wires and other evidence of jury-rigged wiring.

Over the years, they apparently received only 40-thousand dollars for secrets sold to the East Germans.
