4/11-When Movies Were Movies

In real life Sara won't watch any movie made after 1950. She prefers the movies of the 1930s. And tonight's her night!

American Alan Gross has been sentenced to fifteen years in a Castro Cuban prison after being convicted of trying to help the Jewish community of Cuba gain access to the internet. Cuban-American Freedom Writer HUMBERTO FONTOVA says Castro's predecessor, Batista, would have given Gross a medal and a state banquet for helping Cubans communicate better with the outside world. Fontova tells Sara and Barry you don't have to go to the Middle East to find dreadful dictators. He and his family were lucky enough to get out of one ninety miles south of Key West!

4/4-Sara and Barry on Headline News

"The president is lucky," says Barry. "He only has to give a State-of-the-Union address once a year. In talk radio," says Barry, "We give one every day!" Sara and Barry do so, sweeping the horizons of headlines and history to emblazon the goings-on and the likely next goings-on from Libya, Syria and Yemen to the public worker unions' battle in Wisconsin, next year's presidential election and the imminent shut-down of the U. S. government.

4/1-Is Protest Passe?

Sara and Barry get a little preachy and teach an important lesson from Journalism 101, namely, just because protests against dictatorship in the Middle East are fading to the middle and the bottom of the newscast, doesn't at all mean such protests are fading from dictatorships in the Middle East!
