The Jewish Channel Exclusive Interview With Newt Gingrich Excerpt: Identifying With Netanyahu
updated
The culture of law-breaking and secrecy in Richard Nixon’s administration is examined by USA Today Washington Enterprise Editor Ray Locker, in “Nixon’s Gamble: How a President’s Own Secret Government Destroyed His Administration.”
And then, telling stories about one of the most damaging governments in the 20th century, is University of Sydney Professor Sheila Fitzpatrick, author of “On Stalin’s Team: The Years of Living Dangerously in Soviet Politics.”
They’re called “the artisans of crime,” and con artists use what they know about human behavior to identify, lure, and take advantage of a victim. How and why does it work? New Yorker contributing writer Maria Konnikova explains in “The Confidence Game: Why We Fall for it… Every Time.”
But understanding all these little bits of psychology is not only helpful in avoiding becoming a victim. We can also learn to be better members of society. In the case of our next author, we can learn to be better co-workers. Esquire senior editor Ross McCammon talks about that in “Works Well With Others: An Outsider’s Guide to Shaking Hands, Shutting Up, Handling Jerks, and Other Crucial Skills in Business That No One Ever Teaches You.”
It’s a bygone era that is now only available in memories and media. But when Jews vacationed extensively in the Catskills, it was a lifestyle that brought celebrity and glamour to shuffleboard and buffets. Stephen Silverman discusses the diverse and surprising narrative in “The Catskills: Its History and How It Changed America.”
And then, sometimes to go digging into our pasts, we literally have to go digging. What we find can remind us of ourselves, or give us a new sense of the breadth of human traditions. Appalachian State University Professor Cheryl Claassen discusses “Beliefs and Rituals in Archaic Eastern North America: An Interpretive Guide.”
This week on "Up Close," literary agent Andrew Blauner gathered together some of the names you know best from the worlds of journalism and fiction and had them write about passages in the Bible for the new collection: “The Good Book: Writers Reflect on Favorite Bible Passages.”
And then, when Jewish day school graduate Aviya Kushner went to one of the most well-known graduate writing programs in the country, she studied under Marilynne Robinson, one of the most well-known writers in the country. It was in a class about the Bible that she discovered the traditional Jewish approach to reading the Bible is almost entirely absent from others’ readings. That led to her book, “The Grammar of God: A Journey Into the Words and Worlds of the Bible.”

And then, so-called "do-gooders" sometimes place the lives of complete strangers ahead of those of members of their families and communities – and even their own. Is there something wrong with them, or are they on the right track? New Yorker Staff Writer Larissa MacFarquhar talks about her book, “Strangers Drowning: Grappling With Impossible Idealism, Drastic Choices, and the Overpowering Urge to Help.”
It’s possible that what men are doing wrong is as simple as numbers and economics. Fortune Magazine Contributor Jon Birger reveals those possibilities in “Date-Onomics: How Dating Became a Lopsided Numbers Game.”
And then, the lazy and terrible ways that men have developed in recent years don’t leave them completely beyond hope. Fast Company’s Joe Berkowitz and Last Week Tonight’s Josh Gondelman share their thoughts from “You Blew It!: An Awkward Look at the Many Ways In Which You’ve Already Ruined Your Life.”
New York Times National Security Reporter Scott Shane, author of “Objective Troy: A Terrorist, A President, and the Rise of the Drone,” and speaks with Joe Domanick, author of “Blue: The LAPD and the Battle to Redeem American Policing.”
This year, the love story of two Jewish women was the one that ended discrimination against same-sex marriages within the US federal government, in what instantly became one of the most famous Supreme Court decisions. Arguing that case was lawyer Roberta Kaplan, and she shares her story and theirs in “Then Comes Marriage: United States v. Windsor and the Defeat of DOMA.”
And then, two women are trying to put love stories into the heart of the Jewish tradition with retellings of folk tales, love letters from prominent Jewish thinkers, and more. Peninnah Schram and Rabbi Sandy Eisenberg Sasso discuss their partnered effort, “Jewish Stories of Love and Marriage: Folktales, Legends, & Letters.”

Andy Warhol is a name only slightly better-known than his iconic pictures of subjects ranging from Campbell’s soup cans to Marilyn Monroe. But as he was crafting art, he was crafting himself as an artist. Deborah Davis explores that development in “The Trip: Andy Warhol’s Plastic Fantastic Cross-Country Adventure.”
And then, Molly Crabapple has a story to tell about what it’s taken to get to this point in her career, with a number of successful independent shows and projects, some awards won, and a perch as a contributing editor at Vice. Her memoir is, “Drawing Blood.”
Meredith Ganzman visits one of New York's oldest kosher butcher shops; and a preview of Steven I. Weiss' "Up Close" interview with Deborah Davis, author of "The Trip: Andy Warhol's Plastic Fantastic Cross-Country Adventure."
News anchor Imran Garda, covering the past few years for Al Jazeera and other networks, has seen an Arab Spring flow into a refugee crisis. His novel travels around Africa and beyond to bring us a story in the midst of the story, with "The Thunder That Roars."
And then, Meera Subramanian visited the land of her father to explore the way the world's largest democracy was coping with environmental problems, and how some Indians hope to forge a new path. She tells her story in "A River Runs Again: India's Natural World in Crisis, from the Barren Cliffs of Rajasthan to the Farmlands of Karnataka."

Within the world of politics, the African-American vote was alternately pursued and jettisoned by the major political parties, until the Democratic party won over the vast majority of African-Americans in the middle of the twentieth century. Exploring the Democratic party's approach is MSNBC National Correspondent Joy-Ann Reid, author of "Fracture: Barack Obama, The Clintons, and the Racial Divide."
And then, if one single event typified the treatment of blacks in America in the first decade of the twentieth century, it was Hurricane Katrina and the flooding of New Orleans. Journalist Gary Rivlin spent a decade reporting on what happened there for "Katrina: After the Flood."
When we talk about preserving species, what exactly are preserving? If it's genes and physical characteristics alone, there's an animal culture of sorts that we're surely leaving behind. M.R. O'Connor explores these thorny questions in "Resurrection Science: Conservation, De-Extinction and the Precarious Future of Wild Things."
And then, if we can lose a given species of crow by changing its inherited culture, can we also lose the culture that makes us human? That warning sign is being presented by MIT Professor Sherry Turkle in "Reclaiming Conversation: The Power of Talk in a Digital Age."

The largest verdict for environmental damages in history will forever be quite tainted. Bloomberg Businessweek Senior Writer Paul Barrett discusses, "Law of the Jungle: The $19 Billion Legal Battle Over Oil in the Rain Forest and the Lawyer Who'd Stop at Nothing to Win," now out in paperback.
And then, perhaps the greatest symbol of a legal system designed without women is the agunah crisis, in which women are stuck in Orthodox Jewish marriages if their husbands refuse to give them divorces. Susan Aranoff has been an advocate on the issue for three decades, and is the co-author of "The Wed-Locked Agunot: Orthodox Jewish Women Chained to Dead Marriages."
