3/20-HOW DID TURKISH MOSLEMS GET THAT WAY, AND HOW DO THEY STAY that way?



Wouldn't it have been remarkable if one German newspaper during World War II kept reporting on pro-Jewish activities right there in the middle of what the world would later call the Holocaust?  Something very much like that is going on right now in Turkey, where one pro-Israel faction continues to plant guests on American talk shows who describe the activities of these pro-Jewish Turks who defy the Turkish government and insist that Jews have every right right to inhabit the land of their ancestors.  DR. OKTAR BABUNA, the personal representative of controversial Islamic leader Adnan Okta, was in Israel for several days last week meeting with MKs in an effort to smooth feathers ruffled by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan when he called Zionism “a crime against humanity” in February.  Dr. Babuna visits with Sara and Barry this evening.

3/19-IF THE ARABS WERE TO ABANDON THEIR ARMS, THERE WOULD BE NO MORE WAR. IF ISRAELIS DID THAT, THERE'S BE NO MORE ISRAEL



DAVID RUBIN is an American who went to Israel and became mayor of the town of Shiloh in the controversial "West Bank".  You can name an argument about the Middle East Mayor Rubin hasn't heard before and, if it calls for "land-for-peace" or a "two-state solution", attacked before.No matter how much evidence piles up against all the sweet dreams of a return to the borders of 1967, people with varying agendas continue to bring them up.  And David Rubin continues to explain the real-world futility of such plans, as he does when he visits with Sara and Barry this evening.

3/18-"MILLIONS FOR DEFENSE, BUT NOT ONE CENT FOR BRIBERY" MAY BE AN APT SLOGAN FOR FEDEX WHEN THE FEDS ACT LIKE BARBARY PIRATES!



You don't have to be a person to have -- or to lack -- character.  Corporations can do it, too!  Consider the contrasting styles of standing up to government bullying right bow between FEDEX and UPS.  The Justice Department is, in effect, complaining that both companies are "aiding and abetting drug traffickers."  FEDEX says, "What rot!  It's YOUR job, not ours, to identify the drug dealers.  Tell us who they are and we won't ship for them any more."  Meanwhile UPS takes a position more like,"Ooooh, Dear Me, what can we do?  If we do everything you say and pay a fine -- just tell us how much -- will that bring 'peace' to the 'valley'?"  PATRICK FITZGERALD, spokesman of FEDEX, visits Sara and Barry this evening.  Barry is so energized with FEDEX's stance, he wants to take a short leave and run their entire resistance campaign for them!

3/14- HOPES FOR HIS HOLINESS FRANCIS THE FIRST ARE HIGH, BUT CAN WHITE SMOKE CONCEAL A RED AGENDA




Congratulations to Pope Francis the First on his elevation to the papacy, and no disrespect intended, but let's find out immediately who it is who's telling us that the combination of the exiting of Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and the arrival of the new pope is terrible news for the Castro brothers and their other Latin-American Communism clones and a great blow for freedom.  It sounds hopeful, but remember; they said Fidel Castro swore he'd hold free elections within one year.  Before that they told us Mao Tse Tung was just an "agrarian reformer".  And before that they told us Josef Stalin merely wanted to "preserve the gains of the working class."  Former Roman Catholic priest TOM KANE, author of "Good Church, Bad Church" visits Sara and Barry this evening to pick up the theme.



3/13-THE AGING COLUMNIST TOLD HIS NEW YOUNG BOSS WHY HE NEVER TOOK VACATIONS. "NUMBER ONE," HE EXPLAINED, "IT MIGHT HURT THE PAPER. NUMBER TWO, IT MIGHT NOT HURT THE PAPER."



Barry believes some interview shows would be better without the interviewer.  He points out that once upon a time NBC-TV lost its audio link to a Wimbleton tennis championship in England and all it could show was the video.  And so they did; and thousands of tennis fans wrote and called the network to CONGRATULATE them on their new style of broadcasting tennis.  Putting that theory into action, Sara has the evening off and Barry has chosen professor-writer-scientist-inventor ADRIAN VANCE to demonstrate how rewarding it can be when the right guest is free to choose his own flight path and soar.  Barry will be on hand to introduce segments, ask a follow-up question now and then and get Adrian a glass of water if he needs it.

3/15- IF CARDINAL BERGOGLIO CAN GO FROM UNKNOWN TO POPE IN TWO DAYS, REPUBLICANS, TOO, HAVE A RIGHT TO DREAM!



With the president all of a sudden not much more popular than the Republican House, not all Republicans are gloomy.  Even cynical columnist Charles Krauthammer observes there's a "deep Republican bench" and lots of hope for oncoming elections.  Former GOP Representative from New York JOHN LeBOUTILLIER takes the measurements of those Republican front-runners to see if there's any sign of a Reagan -- or at least a winner in those ranks.  Cong. LeBoutillier visits with Sara and Barry this evening.
