American Idea
http://theamericanideabook.theatlantic.com/
“What is ‘the American idea’? It is the fractious, maddening approach to the conduct of human affairs that values equality despite its elusiveness, that values democracy despite its debasement, that values pluralism despite its messiness, that values the institutions of civic culture despite their flaws, and that values public life as something higher and greater than the sum of all our private lives. The founders of the magazine valued these things—and they valued the immense amount of effort it takes to preserve them from generation to generation.”
—The Editors of The Atlantic Monthly, 2006
‘Why are you coming so late? We have been waiting for you.”

Young talent will be seen as well as heard when PBS debuts From the Top: Live from Carnegie Hall, a new television series based on the popular weekly radio program distributed by NPR. A project of WGBH, From the Top, and Don Mischer Productions in partnership with Carnegie Hall, the series showcases the musical talents, offbeat humor, and compelling stories of America’s best young classical musicians. From the Top: Live from Carnegie Hall is directed by Don Mischer, internationally acclaimed producer and director of television and live events—including Superbowl Halftime shows and the opening and closing ceremonies of two Olympic games. Celebrated concert pianist Christopher O’Riley, host of the radio series, fills that role in the television series as well.

Sometime in the spring of 1936, the lovers and photographers André Friedmann and Gerta Pohorylle changed their names and, in the process, the history of photography. To distinguish themselves from other Jewish émigrés in Paris at the time, Mr. Friedmann, a Hungarian Jew, took the name Robert Capa; Ms. Pohorylle, also Jewish and born in Poland, became Gerda Taro. Working at times as “Capa,” an imaginary American photographer, they began documenting the Spanish Civil War, capturing the ruined towns and devastated civilians and soldiers on the Republican side
