Claire Danes in Stage Beauty (Claire Danes in Stage Beauty)
John Fund of The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board, examines the systemic sloppiness that he argues leaves America vulnerable to voter fraud in Stealing Elections. Then, George Friedman, the founder of a private global intelligence agency that advises Fortune 500 countries, news agencies, and even the US government, reveals his perspective on the motivations behind current US foreign policy in America’s Secret War. Next, Nick Flynn shares his experiences with homelessness—from his father’s life on the streets to his own work in shelters—in his memoir Another Bullshit Night in Suck City. Finally, director Richard Eyre and actress Claire Danes discuss their new film, Stage Beauty.
