A Rare Recording of Evel Knievel

Evel Knievel

Robert Craig Knievel (October 17, 1938 - November 30, 2007), known as Evel Knievel, was an American stunt performer and entertainer, born in Butte, Montana. Throughout his career, he attempted more than 75 ramp-to-ramp motorcycle jumps. Knievel's most famous stunts include a 1967 jump over the fountains at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, which infamously resulted in severe injuries, and a September 8, 1974, attempt to jump across the Snake River Canyon in Idaho using a rocket-powered cycle called the Skycycle X-2. The jump failed after the parachute deployed prematurely, but Knievel survived with minor injuries. The following recordings are from interviews in 1970, 1972, 1974, and in 1975 after Knievel jumped 14 Greyhound buses.

What's the Matter with Kansas? -...

Thomas Franke

The New York Times bestseller, praised as "hilariously funny . . . the only way to understand why so many Americans have decided to vote against their own economic and political interests" (Molly Ivins).**Unabridged for the first time with a new introduction**This program is read by the author. Hailed as "dazzlingly insightful and wonderfully sardonic" (Chicago Tribune), "very funny and very painful" (San Francisco Chronicle), and "in a different league from most political books" (The New York Observer), What's the Matter with Kansas? unravels the great political mystery of our day: Why do so many Americans vote against their economic and social interests? With his acclaimed wit and acuity, Thomas Frank answers the riddle by examining his home state, Kansas—a place once famous for its radicalism that now ranks among the nation's most eager participants in the culture wars. Charting what he calls the "thirty-year backlash"—the popular revolt against a supposedly liberal establishment—Frank reveals how conservatism, once a marker of class privilege, became the creed of millions of ordinary Americans.A brilliant analysis—and funny to boot—What's the Matter with Kansas? is a vivid portrait of an upside-down world where blue-collar patriots recite the Pledge while they strangle their life chances; where small farmers cast their votes for a Wall Street order that will eventually push them off their land; and where a group of frat boys, lawyers, and CEOs has managed to convince the country that it speaks on behalf of the People.A Macmillan Audio production from Metropolitan Books
