SCHEDULE OF CLASSES
Readings from The New Yorker
Coordinators: (Section 1) Judy Adelman/Penny Ellman (Section 2)
Neal Rubin/Sheldon Roodman
In this class, we will share dialogue and laughter as we explore the current issue’s
content and call attention to favorite articles. Then, an article selected from a
prior week’s edition, read before coming to class, is presented for discussion. It
could be anything from a book review to a political exposé, from a short story to
an in-depth people profile or a variety of other eclectic topics. Group participation is key to a rich experience and the insights of others will lead us to greater
understanding of a variety of topics included in what some call “the best magazine
in the world.”
Monday
9:30 - 11:30 AM
Evolution: A View from the Twenty-First Century
Coordinator: Judy Ditkowsky
University of Chicago molecular biologist James A. Shapiro is not a proponent of
intelligent design (ID). And he is an evolutionist. But his new book Evolution:
A View from the 21st Century is recommended reading for ID proponents who
have an interest in biological complexity. Most debates about evolution sound
like the last fifty years of research in molecular biology had never occurred. In this
class, members will become acquainted with “inconceivable” but currently welldocumented aspects of cell biology and genomics. This knowledge will prepare
us for the inevitable surprises in evolutionary science as this new century runs
its course.
By the end of this class, members will have an understanding of a whole new
vocabulary of heredity and development (which has literally emerged during our
lifetimes) and ideas about the direction future research is likely to take.
The Middle East: A Brief History of the last 2000 Years
Coordinators: Marcel Durot/Vic Bassi
To understand the Middle East today means comprehending the “rapid and
enforced change” it endured under a Western onslaught that has now lasted for
two centuries. And to see Western influence in context in turn requires a much
deeper immersion into the Middle Eastern experience. That is precisely what our
text, The Middle East: A Brief History of the last 2000 Years will provide us in a
3
path breaking history of the Middle East’s past two millennia. Professor Bernard
Lewis, who is considered one of the world’s foremost authorities on the Middle
East, covers 2000 years of this region’s history, searching in the past for answers
to questions that will inevitably arise in the future.
Monday
Drawing on material from a multitude of sources, including the work of archaeologists and scholars, Lewis chronologically traces the political, economical, social,
and cultural development of the Middle East, from Hellenization in antiquity to
the impact of westernization on Islamic culture. From the ancient conflicts to the
current geographical and religious disputes between the Arabs and the Israelis,
we will examine in depth how this region unites to solve its problems and we will
discuss what that means in terms of the world’s future.
1:00 - 3:00 PM
Writing Workshop
Coordinators: Ivan Berk/Al Zimbler
You love to write and may have been doing so for years. This is your chance to
participate in a group of practicing writers – to learn and explore new methods
and writing styles --and to constructively critique each other’s work, be it fiction, nonfiction or poetry. In a supportive setting, your classmates will provide
concrete and considerate suggestions, reactions and evaluations intended to
encourage you to put forth your best efforts. There is a certain discipline to writing and you will benefit from having an audience that is always looking forward
to your next composition.
Science Today: Where did the Universe Come From?
Coordinator: Necia Apfel
Where did the universe come from? What was there before it? What will the future
bring? And finally, why is there something rather than nothing?
With a new preface about the significance of the discovery of the Higgs particle,
our text, A Universe from Nothing uses Krauss’s characteristic wry humor and
wonderfully clear explanations to take us back to the beginning of the beginning,
presenting the most recent evidence for how our universe evolved—and the implications for how it’s going to end.
Provocative, challenging, and delightfully readable, this class will be a game-changing look at the most basic underpinning of existence and a powerful antidote to
outmoded philosophical, religious, and scientific thinking.
4
Elderlaw for Non-Attorneys
Coordinator: Steve Perlis
Through readings and in-class presentations by “experts,” this class will introduce members to various topics of interest under the umbrella of “elder law.”
Included will be estate planning; wills; trusts; guardianships; protection against
elder abuse, neglect, and fraud; end-of-life planning; all levels of disability and
medical care; retirement planning; Medicare and Medicaid coverage and more.
We will use as our text Elder Law in a nutshell 3rd Edition by Lawrence A. Frolik
(Professor Of Law, University Of Pittsburg) and Richard L. Kaplan (Professor Of
Law, University Of Pittsburgh (latest copyright 2003) published by Thomson West.
Acquiring a Passion for Opera
Coordinators: Alyson Breuer/Larry Breitkopf/Marion Wolf
Is it the dazzling music by master composers? Is it singing, by that “most perfect
instrument”—the trained human voice? Is it the drama with its quintessential
human stories? The answer is “Yes” to all of these, but an opera is much more
than its individual parts. If words constitute the rational mechanism to tell a
narrative, music addresses the language of feelings, thus eliciting profound emotional responses. Opera is an enjoyable, multisensory and exciting encounter with
superb creativity.
Our class will appeal to beginners and you will fairly quickly learn to savor the
“magic” and language of opera and discover for yourself why this art form has not
only survived over four centuries, but continues to flourish! The class discussions
are focused on the composers—the creative musical geniuses—the gifted, exceptional singers and the libretti with heartwarming stories to which we can all relate. International Short Stories
Coordinator: Gert Schachtman
Join our international adventure reading stories which have generated many spirited discussions as we journey through writings of masters and contemporary
authors, stories from all over the globe offering an appreciation of different customs and values. Whether you choose a folktale, myth, western, detective, gothic
or other, you will enjoy a great experience. Our text, Short Fiction, Classic and
Contemporary, 5th Edition, edited by Charles Bohner, offers a large array of tales
and plentiful choices for leading a discussion.
5
American Musical Theater
Coordinators: Herb Grinell/Rich Kushner
Tuesday
After the course, we are all going to feel like insiders when watching a Broadway
Musical. How much more enjoyable a stage production is when we truly understand the intricacies of its artistic and technical components. We are sure that the
combination of viewing the selected productions and the lively discussions that
will follow will provide an informed framework that will make future musical
theatre experiences more enjoyable and meaningful. We’ll also be entertained
and have a lot of fun.
9:30 - 11:30 AM
The Wall Street Journal: Foreign Affairs, The Economy, Politics
& more!
Coordinators: Don Gordon/Gerry Gordon
Foreign affairs, the economy, politics, medicine, and other subjects form the basis
for discussions of articles taken from the Wall Street Journal, the largest newspaper in the US and winner of 34 Pulitzer Prize Awards. Each week, three classmates
volunteer to present one article each from the previous week’s paper and distribute their choices to the rest of the class. After reading and forming individual
opinions, each presenter briefly outlines the article or asks a cogent question
related to the topic after which the interaction begins Sharing viewpoints and
knowledge by discussion rather than lectures make the class even more interesting. Come and join the fray and enjoy the knowledge shared by all. The Wall
Street Journal can be purchased at a student rate for the hard copy or read at most
libraries or on line.
Justice
Coordinators: Bob Radunsky/Mark Lieberman
10
Weeks
In this class, we will attempt to relate the big questions
of political philosophy to the most vexing issues of Beginning March 3rd
our time: bank bailouts, equality and inequality, taxes,
immigration, affirmative action, the role of markets, national service, same-sex
marriage, the place of religion in politics, and the ethical questions we confront
in our everyday lives.
Using the text, Justice: What’s the Right thing to do? we will enter Professor
Michael Sandel’s perfect society, where one is part of a system which renders
6
obsolete all personal considerations that are morally relevant to the justice or
injustice of principles meant to allocate the benefits of social cooperation. We
will attempt to answer the question. “How can we behave to affect the common
good?” The “veil of ignorance” is the fundamental concept that Sandel, American
political philosopher and Harvard professor, bases his philosophy of “Justice.”
He addresses many ethical and moral issues citing other historical philosophers
such as Immanuel Kant and John Rawls. Our goal in this class is to encourage a
dialogue in an attempt to resolve burning moral and ethical questions. Although
they may remain unresolved, we guarantee that discussions will be lively and
stimulating.
The Evolution of Science Fiction
Coordinators: Linda Spring/Anita Gottlieb
Filled with luminous ideas, otherworldly adventures, and startling futuristic speculations, the stories we will read from The Wesleyan Anthology of Science Fiction,
will appeal to class members as they chart the emergence and evolution of science
fiction as a modern literary genre. They also provide a fascinating look at how our
Western techno-culture has imaginatively expressed its hopes and fears from the
Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century to the digital age of today.
We will also include other Science Fiction literature in addition to the anthology
to round out our study of this exciting literary genre.
Film Greats: Robin Williams & Peter O’Toole
Coordinators: Rivia Greenberger/Mary Quaid
Robin Williams, first recognized as a stand-up comedian and TV star, later became
known for acting in film roles of substance and serious drama. He was considered
a “national treasure” by the entertainment industry and by the public: “having the
most unique mind on the planet.” We will feature such films as Dead Poets Society,
Good Will Hunting, Mrs. Doubtfire and Awakenings.
Tuesday
9:00 - 11:30 AM
The elegant and eccentric Peter O’Toole first captured attention as the handsome and mysterious Lawrence of Arabia though he had gained recognition as
a Shakespearean actor in English Theater. Enjoy this leading man of prodigious
talent in Lawrence of Arabia, The Lion in Winter, Becket and more.

Tuesday
1:00 - 3:00 PM
The Biography of Cancer
Coordinators: Phil Zawa/Mike Reinstein
The battle against cancer has been going on for thousands of years. Recent
advances have made us more hopeful, but we still have a long way to go before
humanity can declare a victory or even a stalemate. In his Pulitzer Prize winning
book, The Emperor of All Maladies, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a
cellular biologist’s precision, a historian’s perspective, and a biographer’s passion.
The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans
have lived with—and perished from—for more than five thousand years. The story
of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance, but also of
hubris, paternalism, and misperception. Mukherjee recounts centuries of discoveries, setbacks, victories, and deaths, told through the eyes of his predecessors
and peers, training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary that, just
three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out “war against
cancer.” The book reads like a literary thriller with cancer as the protagonist.
Churchill: Leading up to the War (1932-1940)
Coordinators: Bob Holstein/Gary Silvers
In the 30s, the world ignored the Nazi menace when it was obvious that war was
inevitable. Join us in exploring this period through the eyes of Winston Churchill,
one of the most charismatic figures of the 20th century. As a back bencher, he
was unable to directly shape policy; but his impact was still felt. He knew that
war was inevitable, and tried desperately to prepare Great Britain for it. Meet
the appeasers, the quirky cast of characters that were in power at that time, and
understand why their policies nearly destroyed Britain. Understand how a parliament works and how it differs from our government. The charismatic book, The
Last Lion – Winston Churchill Alone, 1932-1940 by William Manchester, skillfully
leads us through this period. In the spring semester, we will continue exploring
this decade with our focus on the period between the Munich agreement in 1938
through the fall of France until Chamberlain is finally forced from office in May of
1940 and Winston Churchill becomes Prime Minister.
Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion
Coordinator: Tom Spring
Why can’t our political leaders work together as threats loom and problems
mount? Why do people so readily assume the worst about the motives of their
fellow citizens? Using the text, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided
8
by Politics and Religion, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins
of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding.
His starting point is moral intuition—the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all
have about other people and the things they do. These intuitions feel like selfevident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently
are wrong. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including
the cultures of the political left and right. Haidt shows what each side is right
about, and why we need the insights of liberals, conservatives, and libertarians
to flourish as a nation. There will be plenty to discuss and debate about in this
thought provoking class.
The Origins of Human Social and Moral Behavior
Coordinators: Wade Bartlett/Rich Koomjian
Humans are social beings. Our happiness and success in life depend on our social
and moral behaviors. Children are born with the precursors of these behaviors
and the predispositions to learn them. As adults our interactions with others are
a combination of innate and learned behaviors. Paul Bloom, the author of the
texts to be used for this course, has studied the development of human social
and moral behaviors beginning at child birth and tracing them into maturity. The
insights he has gained illuminate and explain the bases for why we behave the
way we do. The texts for this course are Descartes’ Baby: How the Science of
Child Development Explains What Makes Us Human (2004), and Just Babies: The
Origins of Good and Evil (2013), both by Paul Bloom. Join us for a fascinating
exploration of how nature and nurture influence the way we are.
Wednesday
9:30-11:30 AM
Photography
Coordinators: Charlie Kite, Greg Mancuso/Marilyn Crocker
Would you like to take better photos? We’ll expand our understanding of what
makes great photos through a series of interesting study group projects, such
as experimenting with light, shadows and perspective. We’ll also consider photos by renowned photographers. Our goal will be to develop a “photographer’s
eye.” The first session will be an overview of basic principles common to photography and other visual arts. After that, each session will be devoted to group
critiques of each other’s project photos. This isn’t a technical course on camera
controls or Photoshop. This is a course on using your eyes and mind, suitable for
any skill level. Any camera can take great photos in the right hands. The study
9
group will meet every other week, to allow ample photo time between meetings.
Coordinators will stay after class for individual assistance. Go to this web site for
more information: https://sites.google.com/site/lliskokiephotoclass/home. Sign up
early, because class size is limited.
Prize Winning Literature: Moby Dick
Coordinators: Pat Roth/Carole Einhorn
First published in 1851, Melville’s masterpiece is, in Elizabeth Hardwick’s words,
“the greatest novel in American literature.” The saga of Captain Ahab and his
monomaniacal pursuit of the white whale remains a peerless adventure story
but one full of mythic grandeur, poetic majesty, and symbolic power. Filtered
through the consciousness of the novel’s narrator, Ishmael, Moby-Dick draws us
into a universe full of fascinating characters and stories, from the noble cannibal
Queequeg to the natural history of whales, while reaching existential depths that
excite debate and contemplation to this day.
Join us this spring to read and discuss this epic saga of the ultimate human struggle against the indifference of nature and the awful power of fate.
Be an Historian! Writing for your Family
Coordinators: Alyson Breuer/Don Draganski/Eve Perkal Don’t you wish your grandmother had kept a diary? Aren’t you disappointed that
your uncle didn’t jot down his experiences in the Great War? Now is the time to
write down your own memories. Writing family history is not just about the past,
it’s about the present as well. Preserve your memories and bring them to life
by setting them down and sharing them. What you write and hear will generate
discussion within the group, triggering recollections and ideas for future stories.
Your children, grandchildren and other family members will thank you for your
efforts. Join us!
Poets and their Poems
Coordinators: Pauline Baron/Nancy Katz
In this class, your imagination will get a kick-start as you’re introduced — or perhaps reintroduced — to some of our favorite poets and their poetry. We’ll discover
the meaning of poets’ words and ideas and hopefully bring their sublime message home into our hearts. By reading aloud, we can give selected poems the
concentration they deserve and at the end of the 15-week session, we hope you’ll
discover that you really do enjoy poetry and that your appetite will be whetted
for more. Specific poems and poets will be selected by class members each week.
10
Today’s Philosophers on Important Western Thinkers - From
Socrates to Today
Coordinators: Ron Futterman/Gary Silvers
Join us as we explore a selection of lively interviews with leading philosophers of
our time who discuss the ideas and works of some of the most important thinkers
in history. From the ancient classics of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle to the ground
breaking modern thought of Wittgenstein, Rawls, and Derrida, these discussions
span over two and a half millennia of western philosophy and illuminates its most
fascinating ideas. Ranging from morality, ethics, and metaphysics to truth, justice,
and politics, these current philosophers and commentators share their insight
into various important thinkers and how their ideas apply to our world today.
We will be using Philosophy Bites Back by David Edmonds and Nigel Warburton
which contains the interviews from the hugely successful podcast with over 12
million downloads from all over the world.
Great Decisions
Coordinators: Mick Jackson/Lynn Donoghue
Wednesday
1:00-3:00 PM
10
Great Decisions investigates 8 of the most crucial issues
Weeks
facing the world today. This spring, we’ll examine
Russia and the Near Abroad in order to determine “If Beginning March 3rd
Putin’s Russia isn’t afraid to take an aggressive stance
against Europeanization in Ukraine, what does that mean for the rest of Russia’s
neighbors?” Privacy in the Digital Age to discover if privacy as we know it is long
dead?” Sectarianism in the Middle East - how it fits into a larger narrative? India
Changes Course and the U.S. has to determine how to best secure its interests as
India asserts itself on the world stage. U.S. Policy Toward Africa - How can U.S.
policy live up to its promise and values while securing its interests in the region?
Syria’s Refugee Crisis - The safety of displaced Syrians rests with the whole international community. Human Trafficking in the 21st Century - A multibillion
dollars in international trade per annum and continues to be one of the fastest
growing criminal industries. Brazil’s Metamorphosis Brazil — it’s the “B” in the
acronym BRICS, five emerging economies once seen as soon-to-be superpowers.
11
Crimes, Frauds & Scandals: The History of Forensic Science
Coordinators: Mike Rosenblum/Bob Radunsky
Did you ever play CLUE? Are you an amateur detective? Are you a fan of CSI,
Criminal Minds, Law and Order, Cold Case or Bones? Then put your thinking cap
on and join us for this class which will uncover some of the most famous cases
in history including Jack the Ripper, Black Dahlia; Lizzie Borden; the Menendez
brothers; the Tylenol murders and others.
No book is required. We will use a series of DVD’s developed by Elizabeth
Murray, Ph D, Forensic Anthropologist and Biology Professor at Mount St. Joseph
University. The DVD segments each about 30 minutes long will examine the
investigations, the forensics applied and the case resolutions (or not). Was justice
served or not? Each week we will view two cases which will be led by a class member. Each leader will be able to review the DVD in advance in order to prepare
questions.
Thursday
Bring your pipe, Sherlock Deerslayer hat and magnifying glass to look your sleuthiest! 9:30-11:30 AM
Contemporary American Short Stories
Coordinators: Susan Siebers/Nancy Anderson
A great short story is a glittering jewel, concise and precise. It trades the enveloping glow of the novel for a brilliant flash that prompts an immediate emotional
and intellectual response. In the words of one anthology editor: “The short story
is nothing less than a brief and intense residence in another world. This other
place offers escape from yourself and your own world, as well as the rarest of gifts
– the possibility of becoming someone else.”
Our text will be The O. Henry Prize Stories, 2014, edited by Laura Furman, ISBN
978-0-345-80731-1. It’s a compilation of twenty stories that the editors have
concluded are the best North American short stories of that year, selected from
hundreds of sources including well-known magazines such as The New Yorker
and Harper’s as well as little-known literary journals.
Thirteen Days in September
Coordinators: Jim Davis/Tom Riley/Rich Kushner/Tom Spring
Perhaps the greatest service rendered by Lawrence Wright’s Thirteen Days in
September is the gift of context. In his minute-by-minute account of the 1978 Camp
12
David peace talks, Wright intersperses the narrative of negotiation with miniature
biographies of the participants and their deputies, along with a concise history of
Egyptian-Israeli relations dating from the story of Exodus. Even more important is
Wright’s understanding that Sadat, Begin and Carter were not just political leaders,
but exemplars of the Holy Land’s three internecine religious traditions.
Our text is on The New York Times Book Review’s top 10 list. It’s hard to imagine
that a day-by-day historical account of peace talks — a gathering of old and middleaged men, reluctantly and awkwardly convened for two weeks in the Maryland
woods in 1978 (you can almost smell the Geritol and pine resin in the air) – could
be spellbinding. But Wright manages to produce a cliffhanger as “three flawed
men, strengthened but also encumbered by their faiths” pulled off “one of the
great diplomatic triumphs of the twentieth century.” Join us for an entertaining
and informative discussion of this timely conflict.
Readings from Science News
Coordinator: Yvette Lewis Do you want to advance your understanding and appreciation of science? Are
you curious about what’s happening through research to improve your health? Is
keeping up with the newest technologies being used today important to you? If
so, this class based on readings from Science News and articles from the internet
and other science based media (including the Science Section of The New York
Times) is for you. Each week, the class will delve into several different articles and
-- through lively discussion and exchange -- uncover a wealth of information.
Shakespeare on Love
Coordinators: Daniel Cohen/Paul Phillips
From his most sparkling comedies to his darkest tragedies, to his histories,
romances, fantasies, sonnets and poems, the Bard contemplated love in all its
various forms. Shakespeare’s treatment of this universal subject is both wide in
its sweep and relevant for over 400 years. We have selected three plays that look
at love in different ways: A Comedy – “Love’s Labours Lost” a tragedy “Romeo and
Juliet” and a fantasy - “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” We will be using the Folger
editions of these plays. After reading and discussing the plays in class, we will view
DVDs of the plays. As Shakespeare himself said, “By heaven, I do love and it has
taught me to rime.”
Thursday
1:00-3:00 PM
13
Economics: Dead or Alive?
Coordinators: Phil Zawa/Wade Bartlett
We will review the history and theories of several leading (but dead) economists
such as Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill, Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes, Milton
Friedman, etc. with 2 goals in mind: 1) understanding their major contributions
to the field of economics; and 2) looking at how their ideas can be applied to
modern problems such as the rise of China, aging populations, health care, the
increasing demands for energy, etc. We will also look at how discredited economic
ideas “lived” on to play a role in the global meltdown of 2008-09 and continue to
be misapplied today.
Two accessible and entertaining texts will be used - New Ideas from Dead
Economists by Todd G. Buchholz, (2007 version) and Zombie Economics by John
Quiggin (2012).
Documentary Film: (1:00-3:30)
Coordinators - Section 1: Charles Kite/Rhonda Milkowski;
Coordinator - Section 2: Marilyn Upchurch
During the semester we will view a fascinating and wide variety of contemporary
documentaries that are always informative, frequently controversial and sometimes fun filled entertainment. With new films to be announced, we will continue
the tradition of past semesters with award winning films ranging from thought
provoking subjects that have not received wide spread publicity to films that have
received Academy Award recognition. What are the elements in a documentary
that determine whether a film is effective or weak, biased or open minded? Join
us as we engage in lively discussions about the films and learn how different filmmakers deal with the wide variety of subjects presented.
Friday
9:30-11:30 AM
14
The Women’s Room
Coordinators: Nancy Bellew/Mary Bloom/Martha Fox;
Our goal is to explore the complexities of women’s lives and experiences leading
participants to think beyond the boundaries of traditional gender roles. We will
emphasize contemporary issues that affect women. Through fiction, poetry and
film we search for a deeper understanding of women’s individual and collective
voice. What are valued most in this study group are the lively and insightful discussions that result after our readings.
