See if you can find the time to take a look online at Bill Moyer's last Bill Moyers Journal.. He is retiring from broadcasting after four decades, though apparently it will be kept alive in an online life. One of the saddest parts of not working on a PBS show anymore was missing out on hearing Bill Moyer's speak at the PBS conventions. Not only were they the most insightful, enriching, and empowering moments of the week, but he always made himself available to talk to anyone afterwards. He is a truly remarkable, articulate, empathetic man who knows how to cut through the media rubble more clearly than anyone.
The first story is exactly the heart of what Bill Moyer's cared about most: people. Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement shows the other side of a movement in the country that sees the need for change and does something about it without the politics and anti government spewing a few other groups the media is more fond of sharing these days.
The second is a wonderful interview with Jim Hightower. I can't believe he's right here in Texas. The heart of which may be described as a quote from his mother, "Two wrongs don't make a right but three left turns do."
And finally, there is an interview with Barry Lopez, the award winning author who talks about nature, spirit, and the human condition.
It will be time well spent.
