June 25, 2004 (Press Release) --
The Big Chat:
In August of 2001 President Bush signed an executive order limiting financial help from the federal goverment to further embryonic stem cell research. The passing of President Reagan has again renewed interest in the potential for stem cell research to cure some of the most debilatating diseases of our times like Alzheimers and diabetes. Tonight in the Big Chat we'll discuss the promise and pitfalls of stem cell research.
In Focus:
"Its always nice to be important, but its more important to be nice" says Earl Loggins. He should know, this simple philosophy has guided him throughout his life and allowed Earl to help African Americans break the color barrier. As an employee of the Houston Club he had the ear of the most rich and powerful men in Houston. He used this access to help his community. His relationship with Leon Jaworski helped Sheila Jackson Lee get her first job as a lawyer. Patricia Gras talks with some of Earl's friends (including former President George H.W. Bush) about how this amazing man used kindness and determination to become a quiet hero of the civil rights movement right here in Houston.
Innerviews:
Sydney Newman Dotson knows first hand the frustration of dealing with identity theft and fraud. In her book "No Greater Deception", she focuses on her family's personal experience with stolen identities that were conducted by her family members on family members. “It’s an evil stepmother story you will remember for a very long time. No one seems to know that 95% of all identity thefts are conducted by family members on family members,” says Sydney. She'll join us to talk about how you can protect yourself and your family. Her book is available on Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com websites in 6 countries today.
Hidden Treasure:
Francois Rabelais was a Frenchman with many passions. He was a Benedictine monk, an author and a physician, but many say his greatest love was food and drink. Tonight we'll take you inside his namesake, Cafe Rabelais, a tiny French Bistro that many Houstonians are passionate about and a place Rabelais would be proud of.
Art & Soul:
Each summer The Alley Theatre presents The Summer Chill Series. This year's schedule features Agatha Christie’s return hit “Black Coffee”, with resident actor James Black as Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. It’s a murder mystery just waiting to be solved and we’ll have some of the answers when we give you a sneak peek.
Also, have you notice a trend of boy bands lately? Well tonight we’ll entertain you with a peek at Theatre LaB production of “Boy Groove”. Find out how boy bands come together in this hysterically funny musical masterpiece.
Coffeehouse Confessions:
We asked coffeehouse patrons, "What would you change in the world?"
The Beat:
Nothing about tonight's band is run of the mill. Their name is one of a kind and so is their music. They blend different musical influences like Flamenco, Indian, Moroccan, Latin and Western into their own unique sound. If you're a fan of world music, don't miss this performance by Houston's own, Moodafaruka.
