TJCs Up Close: Ray Locker and Sheila Fitzpatrick TheJewishChannelTJC 2016-02-01 | http://newsdesk.tjctv.com/2016/02/up-close-ray-locker-and-sheila-fitzpatrick This week on “Up Close,” there are times when those in charge of a country act with seemingly complete disregard for the law. We saw that in the United States with former President Richard Nixon. To a differing extent and in a different way, the Soviet Union saw it with Josef Stalin. But how did that culture of illegality develop, and how did those around them react?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.”

TJCs Up Close Interviews: Maria Konnikova and Ross McCammon TheJewishChannelTJC 2016-01-22 | http://newsdesk.tjctv.com This week on "Up Close": How can our most basic human behaviors work against us? And what can we do to use them in our favor?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.”

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.

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.”

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.

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."
