SUMMARY:Encore: The Old Home Place: The Farm\, 1974-1996
DESCRIPTION:Through my participation in “Writing to Remember” I have come to see my life as not linear\, but as a collection of events. In that same spirit\, I can group my life experiences into the places and contexts in which I have lived. Moving to West Virginia in 1974 marked the beginning of the “farm years.”

SUMMARY:Encore: Louis Brandeis\, the People’s Justice
DESCRIPTION:Louis Brandeis was a committed activist\, a progressive\, a Zionist\, and the first Jewish Justice when he was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1916. He changed jurisprudence with what is still called the Brandeis Brief\, and his opinions on privacy and free speech later became settled law\, yet it’s unlikely Brandeis could be confirmed to the high court today.
