IS THIS WHERE THEY GOT THE TITLE?
Studs Terkel: Conversations with America. The Studs Terkel Radio Archive has been made possible in part by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Who was Studs Turkel?
Glad you asked.
Louis "Studs" Terkel (May 16, 1912 – October 31, 2008) was based in CHICAGO.
Louis "Studs" Terkel was an American author, historian, actor, and broadcaster. He received the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction in 1985 for "The Good War".
Terkel received his nickname while he was acting in a play with another person named Louis. To keep the two straight, the director of the production gave Terkel the nickname Studs after the fictional character about whom Terkel was reading at the time—Studs Lonigan, of James T. Farrell's trilogy.
He was apparently radicalized during the 1930s Economic Depression.
On May 22, 2006, Terkel, along with other plaintiffs, including Quentin Young, filed a suit in federal district court against AT&T Inc., to stop the telecommunications carrier from giving customer telephone records to the National Security Agency without a court order.
“ Having been blacklisted from working in television during the McCarthy era, I know the harm of government using private corporations to intrude into the lives of innocent Americans. When government uses the telephone companies to create massive databases of all our phone calls it has gone too far."
Interesting the title of his long-running radio program was used for this propaganda broadcast from the CIA/STATE DEPARTMENT PRODUCTION.
A CONVERSATION WITH THESE PEOPLE IS ALWAYS ONE-WAY AND IT IS DOWN TO US PEONS AND AT THE END OF THEIR GUN BARREL --THE TYPE OF GUN THEY DON'T WANT US TO HAVE!
