Abstract
Since its national debut in 1987, Fresh Air with Terry Gross has been a highly acclaimed and much adored weekday magazine among public radio listeners. Each week, nearly 4.8 million people turn to Peabody Award-winning host Terry Gross for insightful conversations with the leading voices in contemporary arts and issues. The renowned program reaches a global audience, with over 620 public radio stations broadcasting Fresh Air, and 3 million podcast downloads each week. Fresh Air has broken the mold of 'talk show' by weaving together superior journalism and intimate storytelling from modern-day intellectuals, politicians and artists alike.

Her thorough conversations are often complemented by commentary from well-known contributors. Fresh Air is produced at WHYY-FM in Philadelphia and broadcast nationally by NPR.
INT. 1:Journalist TIMOTHY M. PHELPS. He's the Supreme Court reporter who broke the Anita Hill story (along with NPR's Nina Totenberg) in New York Newsday. He's co-written an account of the Thomas hearings, called "Capitol Games: Clarence Thomas, Anita Hill, and the Story of a Supreme Court Nomination." (Hyperion; co-written with journalist Helen Winternitz.) INT. 2:ASTOR PIAZZOLLA ("pee-ut-SOL-ah") died Sunday at the age of 71. He was an Argentinian composer whose updated tangos were a hybrid of classical music, jazz and rock. He was a gifted player of the bandoneon ("ban-DOH-nee-in"), a kind of accordion that gives tango its distinctive sound. Piazzolla had suffered a stroke nearly two years ago, from which he never recovered. He is being buried today outside Buenos Aires. We present a rebroadcast of our 1988 interview with him. (Originally aired 4/19/88.) Rev.: Critic MAUREEN CORRIGAN compares the speeches of Abraham Lincoln and George Bush by way of two new books: "Lincoln at Gettysburg: The Words that Remade America," by Garry Wills (Simon & Schuster), and "Bushisms: President G.H.W. Bush in his own Words," compiled by the editors of the "New Republic."
