(Larry Flynt, Sex, Lies, and Politics)
Larry Flynt has gained notoriety as an outspoken, controversial pornographer. Apart from publishing Hustler, he has won Supreme Court cases arguing in favor of the First Amendment. His new book looks at how freedom of speech and sexuality relate to politics and democracy. Then, Mindy Fullilove describes how urban renewal programs have destroyed African American communities by destroying neighborhoods and "emotional ecosystems." And authors Donald Dewey and Nicholas Acocella uncover the truth behind the scandal surrounding one of baseball’s earliest stars. Finally, Maria Janis Cooper and John Mulholland discuss Gary Cooper’s classic portrayal of Lou Gehrig in The Pride of the Yankees.
