March in THE COFFEE HOUSE
THE AMERICAN DREAM: RUNNING IN REVERSE
The sub-prime loan crisis is expected to result in 1.8 million foreclosures in 2008 alone. Who are the lenders and borrowers who are affected? What can and should government do about it? We chat with Sarah Bloom Raskin, Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation. (Host: Mark Cohen)
SHOULD THE LAW HAVE A PREFERENCE FOR MARRIAGE?
In Beyond (Straight and Gay) Marriage, author and law professor Nancy Polikoff argues that it’s fine for people, regardless of their sexual orientation, to choose marriage as a spiritually fulfilling union, but there’s no good reason for the government and the law to offer preferences to married couples. (Host: Angela Jordan Davis)
WHAT GETS THEM MOVING?
Renowned dancer Nina Watt and dancer/choreographer Keith Thompson talk about how they developed into dance professionals, and we view clips of their works. (Host: Peter Dimuro)
Also… The spokesman for the Montgomery County, Maryland executive responds to concerns that the deal to bring a Fillmore-brand live music venue to Silver Spring was poorly negotiated… Poet Kyle Dargan reflects on an earlier African-American presidential hopeful in “Orange”… and singer-songwriter Justin Trawick returns.
