12:00 PM in the Arts Cafe: the Sylvia Kauders lunch series presents Gerald M. Stern discussing his new book The Scotia Widows: Inside Their Lawsuit Against Big Daddy Coal, introduced by Al Filreis. RSVP to wh@writing.upenn.edu or call (215) 573-9748.
Gerald M. Stern, author of The Scotia Widows: Inside Their Lawsuit Against Big Daddy Coal(Random House, 2008), was a founding partner of the Washington, D.C. law firm of Rogovin, Stern & Huge. Prior to that he was a partner with Arnold and Porter for eleven years, where he was the lead counsel for the survivors of the Buffalo Creek Disaster. He wrote about that experience in The Buffalo Creek Disaster, a recently reissued book still widely used in law schools. Before joining Arnold and Porter he was a trial attorney with the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice, trying voting discrimination cases in the South. He wrote about those experiences in two books, Southern Justice and Outside the Law. He has also served as General Counsel of Occidental Petroleum Corporation and as Special Counsel to the United States Department of Justice. Presently, he is a legal consultant and lives in Washington, D.C.
Praise for The Scotia Widows:
"Gerald M. Stern's The Scotia Widows is a little gem — a timely and timeless story about how the little guys, and their widows, can sometimes find justice in the courtroom."
–Jeffrey Toobin, author of The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court"This is a very scary story, a guided tour of the grinding cogs and spinning wheels inside the machinery of justice. Gerald Stern's compassionate account of the ordeal of the Scotia widows shows you how horribly out of kilter it can all get when greed and self-interest are at the controls. Only with luck and the expertise of Stern does Justice emerge in the end, a bit tarnished but still intact."
–Jonathan Harr, author of A Civil Action

6:00 PM in the Arts Cafe: American Routes: Songs and Stories from the Road with Nick Spitzer ('72).
American Routes host and producer Nick Spitzer is a folklorist specializing in American music and cultures of the Gulf South, with a long history of involvement in radio. Host, artistic director, and producer of the award-winning program Folk Masters (now on Smithsonian Folkways CDs), Spitzer is also a contributor of features on American music and culture to NPR's All Things Considered. In 1993, he initiated an annual American Roots 4th of July concert, broadcast live from the National Mall on NPR. Spitzer's radio experience goes back to the 1970s, when he served first as program director of WXPN-FM, the college radio station at Penn in Philadelphia, where he majored in anthropology. After graduation, he was afternoon drive host on the popular "underground" rock station WMMR-FM in Philadelphia. Spitzer later worked as a deejay on the legendary progressive country station KOKE-FM during the early boom days of the Austin music scene. As Louisiana State Folklorist (1978-85), he created films, festivals, exhibits and recordings of regional music, and co-produced a 90-minute Folk Festival USA special on Louisiana music for NPR, helping to bring Cajun music and zydeco to national visibility. His work continued at the Smithsonian Institution, where he curated folk festival programs and directed or served as commentator in films about American music including Great Performances, broadcast on PBS and the Discovery Channel. In 1995 for his work with Creole cultures, he was named as a fellow at the School of American Research in Santa Fe. He has also served on the boards of the American Folklore Society, Fund for Folk Culture, and National Council for the Traditional Arts. Spitzer holds a doctorate in anthropology from the University of Texas, having done his research with African-French Louisiana Creoles and zydeco music. He is currently professor of folklore and cultural conservation at the University of New Orleans.

12:00 PM in the Arts Cafe: The Sylvia W. Kauders series presents "Blogging in the Presidential Election," a lunch discussion with Will Bunch, hosted by Dick Polman. RSVP required. To RSVP, please email wh@writing.upenn.edu or call 215-573-9748.
Will Bunch, a senior writer at the Philadelphia Daily News, blogs about his obsessions, including national and local politics and world affairs, the media, pop music, the Philadelphia Phillies, soccer and other sports, not necessarily in that order on his blog, Attyhood. He is the senior writer for the Philadelphia Daily News and its former political writer. Will's been covering presidential campaigns and conventions all the way back to Jesse Jackson's historic 1984 bid. Working for the spunky Philly paper that GQ once called "arguably the best tabloid in America," he's gained national recognition for his scoops on the mysteries of 9/11, the crash of Flight 93, the war in Iraq and the beheading of Nick Berg.
Before coming to Philadelphia, Will was a key member of the New York Newsday team that won the 1992 Pulitzer Prize for spot news reporting. His magazine articles have appeared in a number of national and regional publications, including the New York Times Magazine, and he is a contributing editor at his alma mater Brown's Alumni Magazine.
Will is also the author of the critically praised 1994 book Jukebox America: Down Back Streets and Blue Highways in Search of the Country's Greatest Jukebox. He lives in Philadelphia; has two children, an 11-year-old daughter and a 9-year-old son; and when he's not dissecting politics he's probably either still searching for Philly's best jukebox or brooding over the Phillies or 76ers.
