  Johnny Carson: American Masters Johnny Carson was seen by more people than anyone else in American history - a fixture of national life, a piece of the cultural furniture, a part of the Zeitgeist.

  THIS WEEK in Northern California [#2407H] November 16, 2012 Guest Host: Spencer Michels.
  STATE FISCAL OUTLOOK BRIGHTENS - A new report by the Legislative Analyst's Office forecasts a boost for California's economy. The passage of Gov. Brown's Proposition 30, an upgraded credit rating for the state and predictions of a growing economy are expected to help shrink the state budget deficit.
  CAP AND TRADE LAUNCHES - California launched the country's first large-scale carbon market with the auction of pollution credits. Companies emitting over 25,000 tons in greenhouse gases must have one allowance, or credit, for each metric ton. Many see the system as a win for the environment, while critics say it's a tax on business. < br />CAMPAIGNS AND DIGITAL DATA - What do campaigns know about you? Thanks to the trail of digital data generated by increasingly on-line, networked lifestyles, political campaigns have been working to target specific voters and to develop ways to predict how they will vote.
  CONTROVERSY OVER NUDITY BAN - In San Francisco, the Board of Supervisors is considering a ban on nudity on the city's streets. Protestors say that freedom of expression is at stake, but supporters say it will help curb a public nuisance. If passed, the law would levy fines that start at $100.

  Washington Week [#5220H] "I didn't get re-elected just to bask in re-election. I got elected to do work on behalf of American families and small businesses all across the country..." - President Obama, November 14, 2012
  With that, the president, in his press conference, laid out his second-term agenda and sent a strong message to Republicans to find common ground and overcome the confrontation and gridlock of the past four years. The president was also peppered with questions about the resignation of CIA Director David Petraeus and the investigation of the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya. As for the looming fiscal crisis, President Obama signaled that any deficit reduction deal must include revenue increases and that he's ready to battle Congress to reach an agreement before the automatic spending cuts go into effect.

  Broadway: The American Musical [#105H] Tradition (1957-1979)/Putting It Together (1980 - Present) West Side Story not only brings untraditional subject matter to the musical stage, it ushers in a new breed of director/choreographer who insists on performers who can dance, sing and act. But by the time Jerome Robbins' last original musical, Fiddler on the Roof, closes after a record run of 3242 performances in 1972, the world of Broadway has changed forever. Rock'n'roll, civil rights and Vietnam usher in new talents, many trained by the retiring masters, taking musical theater in daring new directions with innovative productions like Hair, the first Broadway musical with an entire score of rock music. By the end of the 1970s, Broadway becomes the centerpiece of a remarkably successful public relations campaign that will lure touriststo New York for years to come. duration 56:46   STEREO TVPG

  Broadway: The American Musical [#106H] Putting It Together (1980 - Present) Legendary as the "Abominable Showman," notorious producer David Merrick re-conquers Broadway in 1980 with a smash adaptation of the movie musical 42nd Street. But soon the biggest hits are arriving from an unexpected source - London. Producer Cameron Mackintosh redefines the business of show business as Cats, Les Miserables, The Phantom of the Opera and Miss Saigon become international blockbusters. Sondheim's Sunday in the Park With George defies categorization, while Jerry Herman's crowd-pleasing La Cage aux Folles has two men sing a love song to each other for the first time on Broadway - a breakthrough soon overshadowed by the rising decimation of the AIDS crisis on Broadway. Yet with Julie Taymor's triumphant re-imagining of The Lion King, Disney leads an astonishing resurrection of 42nd Street. Composer Jonathan Larson scores a bittersweet victory with the rock-flavored Rent, and the old-style musical is reborn in Mel Brooks' The Producers, which becomes the first must-see musical comedy in decades, despite a ticket price of $ 480 for each VIP seat. After 9/11, Broadway - like the rest of America - emerges from the darkness. Broadway's corporate dominance continues to grow, as evidenced by new shows such as Wicked, the biggest hit of the 2003-04 season with 10 Tony nods. "Oh, I've been hearing about Broadway disappearing ever since I put on long pants," says illustrator Al Hirschfeld. "I mean, it's been the fabulous invalid. You know, but it survives, it survives." The episode features interviews with writer/producer Mel Brooks, actor Kristin Chenoweth, Walt Disney Corporation CEO Michael Eisner, actor/ bookwriter Harvey Fierstein, composer/lyricist Jerry Herman, actor Nathan Lane, playwright/director James Lapine, producer Rocco Landesman, director Arthur Laurents, Nederlander Theaters chairman James Nederlander Sr., director Susan Stroman and composer Andrew Lloyd Webber. Highlights include home movies of Jonathan Larson working as a waiter before leaving his job to create Rent, and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of Wicked in rehearsal and opening on Broadway. duration 56:46   STEREO TVPG

  Need To Know [#262H] Money Matters The election was more than a week ago, but the debate continues about the extraordinary amount of money spent during the campaign season, an estimated $6 billion. Of course, the huge increase in campaign spending follows the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United ruling, the 5-4 decision written by Justice Anthony Kennedy which said restrictions on independent spending by corporations and unions to support candidates violated their constitutional guarantees of free speech. In his dissent Justice John Paul Stevens warned then that the ruling threatens to undermine the integrity of elected institutions across the nation. So has it? Will it? And are there other electoral reforms we should consider? That's our focus this week with panelists including Monica Youn, David Keating, Richard Brookhiser and Scott Murphy.
