Sep 10 Victoria Claflin Woodhull Blood Martin Victoria Claflin Woodhull Blood Martin was the first woman to run for President of the United States. Her platform was free love and suffrage, which may be why she is not in most history books. Victoria rose from poverty to wealth and prestige in Anglo-American society. She took her entire, contentious family to England where she entertained the Prince of Wales at her historic manor house which is now in the National Trust. In her lifetime she was both infamous and famous. She was surely naughty. Presenter: Dr. Barbara Montgomery author, teacher with two Fulbrights
Oct 8 The Secret Language of Classical Music: Vivaldi Four Seasons Musicians painting pictures? With violas and violins?

Autumn is a fox hunt and you’re right in the middle of the movie. Wait! Vivaldi will make your teeth chatter in the Winter Concerto. I’m not kidding!

It will take a look at prehistoric and historic temperature and carbon dioxide patterns and what these may tell us about the future. Disagreements between the consensus scientists and the skeptics will be examined.

S. regulatory proposals in Congress and their implications on energy policy and economics will also be discussed. Presenter: Ed Powell, Ph. D. Environmental Policy Director,TXU (retired)
