remember and it's been the person ms
bee has been it's b on the page thanks
bye ms bishop td is is this
is because it's been as bell what is it i think that was the point it's
bright it's big fb he's
placed my highest aspirations in effect have no expiration date it's b do you
think it's been remember the old days the prize your mother used to make you go into the kitchen there's mom breaking eggs beaten them there be rich country cream and sugar and fresh fruit in real vanilla beans and butter member of that or you could forget it will eliminate all the old settlement colonies mother baking through modern chemistry is a pie you could make with the same ingredients that the manufacturer uses analyst on the box the same ingredients that i have right here
will make the crust first let's begin with the wheat flour that's always good for a beginning when you make it was just poured right through secure and make sure that it was russert detritus is caught by the nation says it's all now going to put some sugar and to make its way to examine nicely little sharpening business they long and unusual for me to believe you have to get covered fighting was nominated situation lucy won a book reykjavik had a little sweet thing from our friend dextrose hospital tested house friday and now we want to mix a little sorghum flour with a little grain flour graham flour mixed air around them is sorghum flour in there too and just they're all going to make sure you're getting the impurities ok anil dash asaka give it
from me or power and strength could spend about this and so it might have to do one images of carefully to be careful with the things they do pitt has a story about travel and it has added of ammonium nitrate they think of everything built a lot of trouble finding bees with his restaurant like of these ingredients this boy was born recently remembering is putting their estimates that the court has let this that chemically lead up by itself and overnight the body of the park's wilderness thought was water just lay that water and add some corn syrup it's thick and it's sweet
and it's just five ways right in there with the water right here so shortening have shorty in both sides in the crust at the wharton school and morash just to make it three sugar affair with a shortening in the sugar fields and now we get to the interesting part and they come there are way song chess from glossy to you you write in their future and make sure you haven't asked that very fresh very approved sits right in their food starch modified one of the modifications no one knows but they've been known for some years that's it's in their makes a fix too more dextrose more suites behind the sweets sooner harrison sodium case and they really were casing feet one place this is something different though it's a dairy product as well and
not bad for you nutritionally and now we come to an important part time dead the flavoring this is what distinguishes art from other parts of europe some gelatin to give that flavoring a little motion bush and make it stand tall and brown the world of real job that would put the whole milk solids also very wonderful natural to really good mausoleum and i was like this is an emulsifier make it hang together and together the space of a dash of song just a little snow case does in a given that old practice be careful you know but to add vinegar and if you do the kids are beginning their noses up at explaining it made of vinegar by you don't want to do that polly celebrate number sixty not fifty eight or fifty nine or sixty one as he has trouble finding this your local organic chemical supply
house probably have little for you this is an emulsifier and it's also retard spoilage so many crises these are spoiling right and left this one doesn't spoil average of seven or eight months and some vanilla to counteract the vinegar and then a little more flavor that's fine and our old friend where easy for years years this is minus sodium phosphate can be found in laxatives and detergents cleans all kinds of tubes that you have a clean part with this we visit right here and we're putting a slick trail but now we go to texas grasslands for largo as a fan for the arteries and what's the pie without a little artificial color the couple drought but to let you know what the clash with the walls for the
curtains that's fine kenny you may wonder what kind of apply we've made is it fresh it proved no weapons no eggs no we just party the
peak it's big maybe she won't worldwide order clothes on and get out of a rally in a new airbag maybe she won't but if she does get an infected dermatitis fluid and neo my scene sulfide flu olson alone acetone and break the infection cycle we're used to the patent medicine man's pitch g a band with only one candidate my mommy alcazar
serve we needed to rent a space a spicy meatball stuart there's little he knew we can't sleep sleep sleep when layman swallow the patent medicine that's what we assumed that the doctors choice of drugs for us is based on strike clinical fact there are two medical magazines one is called prescription sports and travel which is the official publication of the american medical golf association the american medical tennis association the american radicals speak and trap association and the american medical curling association the other is called medical economics both rn only by doctors so let's see if we layman can fathom the complex scientific data they present their readers the answer from both magazines nice big
or any other lyricist speculation the
same it's bad for you he's been the pen is bleak you it's been kit
it is so much for science doctors is sold drugs the same way were so detergents and politicians according to surveys the physicians said they are not swayed by it maybe not but then why do the ethical drug houses than half a billion dollars a year on advertising the evidence suggests massive over a prescription advertising pressure alone can't be given the blame but it must play important findings that show that ten percent of hospital admissions maybe for adverse drug reactions expert testimony before a senate subcommittee estimates that
more than one half the money spent on prescriptions is wasted it's suspected that the number of deaths from prescription drugs surpasses deaths from heroin or from diseases like the fighters or cancer of the breast estimate is that at least twenty nine thousand people died from prescribe drugs last year so these ads aren't funny they're symptomatic of an industry that can't control itself it's like a manic metastasize and so an organism that uses advertising to join mass production profit seeking and medicine in a dangerously an appropriate fashion the ethical drug industry is heavily regulated by the government even in respect to its advertising practices but despite everybody from the late senator as does key faberge ralph nader it remains out of control the only organized body left with the power and the responsibility
to restrain it is the medical profession itself they're the ones who will have to forgo the lush advertising revenues to their journals they're the ones who have the obligation to oversee what goes into their professional magazines and stop this stuff but there's been little information ms pd it's been today
we came to play dinah payne didn't know right
oh mercy it's been oh oh oh nina oh many
many many you don't get to go with the red hair those oh
yeah bishop is there it's a position
i don't believe we've been pushed into some areas where we have the country and i just like that idea cause when i met my wife and my wife saw that the uk was a way of lay low teens
self reliance of this country you have the fbi is buying companies because be nice b as bait the
peaks boy is by nico it's been nice
it is the fbi as much as this is and
how that barack and subversion of friction around out there was love how it's an obligation just say it it's been wade
you know the issue is been waiting for me now fear it will in no fewer than have them have no idea of the children have nothing that the cause is whether that's all i can describe it that all of that but it is something to really really feel it
i'm insane oh jesus oh oh he does
and he says he is it's just a feeling it's like ah you tell somebody how to be in love how you want to tell anybody who have not been in love how they'd be used to be in love you cannot do it to save a life you can do things that you can't help but you know it happens that's really really well he has now is the band's be
as bad he's been asked
his eyes it's bad the guys because we have to get old stains works out of chicago he wrote the bestseller hard times he used to do a tv show studs' place and he talks to people on radio on the
streets everywhere and in a bar in chicago he talks to lots of people about the great american dream you're like a baby he works for a steel mills now and then lightens a bartender was a white child another baby on the way i don't need a reason on one time in what i believe the guy or is that you know he says we're living in this is that it's the american government right overby mr holden says yes who's going to open twenty three college graduate works as a proofreading are worth it did it was not george mallory semi retired as work is
now spent most of his life and arrows a mother of six arrows duration again mary congratulations an issue doesn't look at me i'm beverly has worked as a meatpacker most of my friends now representative of united and those workers c o n y and all that i'm not going to go over the news and you know you were saying he was then eleven across you really just say your point is freedom of expression are essential you teach me on now for valentine's day
violence but he did criticize is highly critical critical in that come out of the news media now this was the primary concern that cannot be secured there is tremendous you judge for yourself it is now is that balance that georgia's talk about is you i mean masses of the radio stations that carry for english jonah keri formerly fact indiana papers the back and yet what that you know at bear it cultivates a greater what's been in every individual there isn't a potential but let's recognize when you understand that with some individuals it's no longer what they have already developed there's
no my opinion stands about my cell phone ask why you knew he's vice president i'm not late eminent man now levi swain are not talking about why did you say it was better than you as insurgents then there's nobody any better than i we are eight law expires in my in my opinion but this i don't think it's what we're really talking about i think this is what we're talking about you like that you know i think there's a ripple effect on and i mean i love the man i think is
i think we need him i think we need someone like it dr miley we hear it rainey a man leaning into a made man ok we got so he's the honorees are as a ruse r u n e and you have no use for him no respect is it something that's unusual nominate some only knows that i feel an and i can hear you and i know how i feel when he speaks it koreans inside when he speaks and i hear my neighbors and my friends say yeah given how timely way and that's the way the town why does he make me puke no no
i guess people have people like myself good because he speaks with conviction he says something he's taken against it i may not like wooden i'm pretty sure this man who's aware i think this man is not so an intelligent that he doesn't realize that what he says is what her many people are you understand i feel like if i want to i was planning to tell you when it comes to taxes you
know no no no i that is the welfare program much of europe b as a weight and my hair and my time even if you're given name mike how much of your buck is going to the pentagon and military it might be apocryphal a military man yeah man no question that now why is that why would want why your question we have a bite is going on we have the vikings go
i don't one million dollars senate is a woman who is not only adds the report and end it all was she doesn't know what's going to happen tomorrow and us was to be against it because i work in the field he says anil jain good foundation that ban and that use tax the argument now you know it's a lot of expense a fight or an orgy of interest that's my point is you know i'm not concerned about over
whether that i've ever you know you know my whole thing is if it didn't it i would like to see all united states with everybody will fall icebox with everybody with cancellation and everybody just live in it but i don't like it when someone passes this kind of thing that they will make that possible but make it possible one about the rich got that you're right now let's check out some of his foundation oh yeah thank you

sublime emotion enjoyed by two people who are made expressly for each other sector not as authentic and tv sets this is the kind of lovely mean you're essentially and when like to him and try and end one in religious elements nothing's explained when my mother died i was fourteen my kids just it was to me what value add just retired lawyer when it's a holiday getting a better term is
completely and ship docked in san juan michael took me to the lively speech i guess i'm a native princess though is where's the floor from print my name khomeini it's just a different thing to have he says that's crossed my not want to get that i knew at last the real meaning
that'll win so the administration says the ship sailed at midnight nancy this something irish plenty see you know a lot of you don't she says you know i'd marry you if i could do if i could the words that like heavy blows out my heart
and see america that's not listen we've gotten into less than say darling please you must let me explain please my wife has got real venice in a very rich society needed a party is before the day that they called it decided he wanted me well who's a pretty rich father readymade job but from the beginning i knew it wouldn't work but i didn't have the courage to get out build cars the money bags and what he says goes between him again i didn't have anything you ring the violence on so you didn't tell me you had a certain job in the beginning it's just going to be another hitler dictator you really nicely i
love you and i want to marry you and as soon as we get back to new york and going to get a divorce a very safe in just saying no that's all i need to know from the ship was docked in the harbor open to go out to the beach and see how it looks in the night what's the difference i see just so it's
just kind of cool muscular body meaning in the moon and he ran right in the water as though hypnotized to write about my own names and calmly and paddies and wrong yeah i know suddenly michael disappeared reviews hands on my legs pulling me and water and then his handset up my body being his lips press my throat and he's had was a level of mind business this is big tom
toms meet this more recent night on the travel sands than it came in and i wasn't so a shaman that's because chain i'm around guns i ran for congress as a very serious ideas about international affairs about domestic issues and we'll talk about those kind of things as much easier for people to get hung up and saying
ron dellums is maybe a cancer congressman ron dellums maybe a black know it wasn't just the absurdity of america's desire to place a label on someone and he has a serious human being and it is a clown i'm not here for someone to play games with the essence series thought in some serious ideas but people approached me about this is normally they're trying to find out you know just as the angry young man has been a jump start screaming and calling people all kinds of names i don't have to get caught up in that they don't have to get caught up and call people all kind of names when i would get caught up in is talking about the reality of what's going on this country need to change i grew up in the ghetto i'm a member of racial minority a member of the ethnic minority community are still reasonably young person hopefully i'm still idealistic person that
there's this army to me and it means very little washington is another place congress is a place so we fight we've got to try to get the job done and not a member of congress i don't feel our by the fact that i'm black from the devils of west oakland could come to congress with a super tight and certainly be referred to as the congressman is the five third person as if i don't exist as he would be i'm not enamored of that i can't get too to try to do the job and i think to get caught up in with comics he would be an extraordinary contradiction for rondo because i don't identify with these contractors because the reality of my life is all too vivid and earl the round of us who grew up in west oakland still sits on my shoulder spirit whispers in my ear are the things that happened to me as he had as a young adult and as a person moving to
live at some point in time much of them say we're eating out there when they would need to struggle in this country and i want to say yes to just one question on the intense fighting very honestly in the open did you make a contribution to try to turn this country around to try to project the concerns an interest in the aspirations and the contributions of black people of racial minorities now want to say here's what i want to be a second cut out so much out of zapata to bring the walls down the walls that exist between people and among people that never allow us to come together and i think that that's one of the very interesting things that racism does it divides people into smaller not comparable groups and if we ever bring those walls down who suddenly find that they literally millions of people in america
who feel the same problems on the same plane and then there will be the potential for the brothers coalition to achieve that kind of change and i think we need in this country if americans to exist and people are upset that the quality of life is to be enhanced my notion is that people move for their own reasons you move your reasons i moved mine is nothing wrong and i think that what you identify the self interest of people respect the dignity and a pride in the words whether they're black white blue collar chicano asian americans native americans young people radicals accept what you understand where they're coming from and internalize would come from and you point out that we're not asking for the coalition to be formed to serve any one particular group because we are coming to their coalition for very different reasons and we'll never come together for the same reason that not that's not what makes the
coalition what makes the correlation of them come together to achieve the same objective and so when blacks and browns and raids and yells and whites come together say together we have much more straight and we have heart and that i'm not here in this coalition to help you i'm here because i have a stake in that change than the basis for that causes of it how do i get to a platform get to the podium to say to the silent majority in america unfortunately you are the most manipulative undo segment of american society that what you and the silent majority really understand that due to luck or underpaid overtaxed you too are victims of pollution your son's love wanted dying in southeast asia in an illegal immoral and insane war and then most of your tax dollars go to corporate power
and the insanity of the pentagon once they start to understand these things maybe there'll be some significant move toward change america how right take those ideas that i expressed to people in the campaign so that that they can be heard here in washington that's the fear that i have a fear of being caught up in the process so that you never heard from again or that suddenly you become part of the mechanism that continues to perpetuate problems in this country or south we do have wars we didn't kill human beings and that our involvement for example and southeast asia fight is being waged on the backs of the blacks and browns and poor whites so we understand and national policy we understand that as long as sixty eight to seventy percent of the budget can go to build an extraordinary military machine that we're not going to do with the problems of poverty and hunger in education housing in this country so that the black american dream to be human beings to be people
to be it goes farther innate capabilities and it just last to go through that extent of black american james brown american james the radios to whether american dream not our lives not are you as you know some of us hung up and maintain the status quo but when i'm talking about the masses of blacks would talk about inviting a society without war without racism without explanation without notice i don't feel a need to be a sophisticated mr mann i don't feel a need to to the volatile at the drop of a hat solicit wow look at this angry person i don't have the need to prove anything my presence is a protest by faces protests i can walk into a room as a vacuum and be
that i'll have to display and that anger is being in the physical presence in a racist society that still says that they are thirteen million people in america who many of who leads second class last a second class citizens without the opportunity to grow and find the edges and built to allow them to go sour have to wear anything unusual an art to protest arrived at different packages be there but i ran for congress because i want to something more than just be that i want to express a very serious ideas no serious ideas are that we can continue to talk about the problems of one segment of society as if they exist in a vacuum and let's join hands across racial lines class lines and six lines and whatever lines that divide us as human beings that spot to deal with the generic human questions in this country because it brought the problems confronting black america in my estimation is only
a dramatic microcosm of the problems that confront america the savory of the group once we understand that i think will have taken very serious step towards basic change in america and they will have politicians should do their own thing because they have to respond to the needs of the people and somewhere on page a stain yellow with age listen very radical concepts that started out to be the great american dream that presents a nightmare for millions of people in america and until those things happen and will continue to be a nightmare but when politicians recognize that the people come first are not party people come first are not themselves the people come first and that ego trips or self aggrandizement self perpetuation but i think the great american dream will become reality and martin luther king and malcolm x and many others but not a bad thing many young people not have gone to jail and very gentle high oh augusta georgia and jackson mississippi will not have been
a lot just lose big headlines but to hit back for some reason to you know to implement those kinds of ideas people and their military won't say many tent and natural flow of time says ok but i think they have to walk a ha ha anna at and at
he's been asked his eyes right
i don't like to reenact this scene because i don't have a copy of an actor and the summit is a re enact the seizure and the movie i don't want to because i'm under contract now have somebody ought to shoot shoot at mms the

Series Description
The Great American Dream Machine, NET's 90-minute viewing experience comprising vignettes, features, investigative reports, humor, theatrical performances and commentaries touching on life in the United States, will be televised Wednesday at 8:30 PM over PBS. The series which premieres January 6, was formerly called "Wednesday Night.""Our goals is to explore and examine the various aspects of contemporary American society through a selection of subjects, themes, personalities and approaches - techniques that inform and entertain, providing the viewer with different ways of looking at things that affect him," according to Al Perlmutter, executive producer. Each week we will deal with material that addresses itself, through a variety of approaches, to people's goals, ideas of themselves, their country, their hopes, their dreams," he says. "Accordingly we arrived at The Great American Dream Machine' as a title. That in itself will be interpreted many different ways - according to where the individual stands."The scope of the series will be diverse so as to contain features of interest to a broad spectrum of viewers. Each program's elements will flow one into the other in order to preserve its fluidity. Although the series will not have a regular host, from time to time several personalities will guide the viewer. "This concept is harder on us but we think will be better for the viewer," predicts Perlmutter. "The series will be able to move in any and all directions with no ties either to a studio or an anchorman." According to the NET producer, the segments will be short and fast paced, although "there will be no hesitation to devote extended periods of any subject that might warrant special attention. "Each program will utilize segments filmed or taped on location as well as sections which originate live from location or studio situations. Whenever possible, live inserts of timely events will be included."Programs will include commentary by American humorist SJ Perelman; special series of reports probing the plight of the American Indian; and a number of sports-oriented features, including one dealing with the career of Mohammed Ali and other stories on the upcoming Super Bowl game. Among the segments expected to be featured each Wednesday are: 1. A commentary by columnist Nicholas Von Hoffman on such subjects as how doctors' prescriptions are influenced by "sexy" advertising in medical magazines. 2. A media critique by reporter Bob Kaiser covering newspapers, magazines, television and radio. 3. Commentary by columnist Jeffrey St. John. 4. Consumer tests by actor Marshall Ephron. "The Great American Dream Machine" will also take a close look at how American men and women relate to each other and devote time to the subjects of growing old, loneliness, and the Vietnam War.Al Perlmutter and Jack Willis are the executive producers for "The Great American Dream Machine." Coordinating producers are Lou Solomon, Bob Bendick, John Fuller, Louis Ames, and Arthur Holch. Among the producers are Al Wasserman, Arthur Barron, Barbara Gordon and Fred Wardenburg. Jack Sameth is the director, and Don Sussman, the production supervisor. "The Great American Dream Machine" is produced by NET and is transmitted nationally by the Public Broadcasting Service.
