February 8, 1989 - Paul Loeb, author and reporter, speaking at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. In his address, Loeb describes the split he sees in American culture - those who on one hand have what he calls compassion towards social causes but who continue to elect what he sees as regressive leaders. Loeb says the split in our culture is due in part to the manipulation of the media by public figures and the confusion among Americans on a range of issues. After speech, Loeb answered audience questions, including studies available, allocating volunteer time, and the use of media by public figures. Loeb's first books are titled, "Nuclear Culture: Living and Working in the World's Largest Nuclear Complex” and "Hope in Hard Times: America's Peace Movement in the Reagan Era."
