JEWISH GIANTS OF THE AMERICAN SONGBOOK: FRANK LOESSER
Lyricist Frank Loesser's five great Broadway musicals—Where's Charley?, Guys and Dolls, The Most Happy Fella, Greenwillow and How to
Succeed in Business Without Really Trying—are not only different from one another, but each was also a departure from the theater of
its day. Over the course of his creative life, Loesser wrote the lyrics to more than 700 songs by composers such as Jules Styne,
Hoagy Carmichael, Burton Lane and Arthur Schwartz. His works include "On a Slow Boat to China," "Two Sleepy People," "Heart and
Soul," "I Don't Want to Walk Without You," "Spring Will Be a Little Late This Year," and the 1948 Academy Award winner "Baby, It's
Cold Outside." JOELLE WALLACH covers the life and work of this prolific genius.

IAN BURUMA: RELIGION AND DEMOCRACY ON THREE CONTINENTS
Is religion a threat to democracy? Many Europeans fear that the large presence of Muslim immigrants is indeed a threat to free

demands of organized faith. Buruma is the author of numerous books and writes about a broad range of political and cultural subjects
for major publications, including The New York Review of Books, The New Yorker and The New York Times.
