Monday, July 21: From the archives: J.R. Moehringer,
author of 'The Tender Bar" (which is just out in paperback.) It talks about the
neighborhood bar which was a sort of home-away-from-home as he was growing up,
and a surprisingly nurturing place to learn about life.
Tuesday, July 22: Karen Abbott, author of "Sin in the Second
City." It talks about the red light district of Chicago around the turn of
the last century and the Everleigh Club - the country's most famous and most
successful brothel - and what eventually forced it to close its doors.
Wednesday, July 23: Dr. Art Cyr, Clausen Distinguished
Professor of Economics at Carthage College.
Thursday, July 24: Giles Milton, author of "Paradise Lost,"
which explores the complete destruction of Smyrna, an extraordinarily opulent
city in western Turkey that was completely destroyed in 1922, caught in the
crosshairs of Christian-Moslem fighting.
Friday, July 25: Mark Kreidler talks about his latest book,
an examination of the most successful Little League community in the country.

the Best of our Knowledge," which can now be heard both Saturday and Sunday
mornings on WGTD.
The Racine Public Library is now featuring author interviews
by Greg Berg, host of WGTD's The Morning Show. Interviews with

in the Adult Services Department. Readers can get a better appreciation
of the book's content by listening to Greg's interviews with the authors--they
will learn more about the writer's experiences, challenges, and intent.
