Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643) is well known as the composer of the earliest operas still performed today. His "Orfeo, Il Ritorno d’Ulisse in Patria", and "L’incoronazione di Poppea" are internationally popular nearly four centuries after their creation. These seminal works represent only a part of Monteverdi’s music for the stage, however. He also wrote numerous works that, while not operas, are no less theatrical in their fusion of music, drama and dance. This is a survey of Monteverdi’s entire output of music for the theatre - his surviving operas, other dramatic mus

The life and work of Ignaz Semmelweis is among the most engaging and moving stories in the history of science. Childbed Fever places his life, and his discovery (the cause of childbed fever was a result of a spread of infection because medical personnel in hospitals did not wash their hands thoroughly after conducting autopsies), in the context of his times. While everyone in his era rejected his account because his theory was fundamentally inconsistent with existing medical beliefs about how diseases were transmitted, in time Semmelweis was proven to be correct. His work led to the adoption

Can we have peace in the Holy Land? Is there a plan that will work? What if that plan included dividing Jerusalem and was embraced by our new president? What if that plan is seen as surrender and weakness, and emboldens radical Islam? If Jimmy Carter and his Liberal Left friends succeed by sacrificing America s strongest ally in the Middle East, Israel, to appease Arab rage, it will, in fact, make Jerusalem the center of gravity of the war on terror while unifying radical Islam. The results will be catastrophic for the United States, for Israel and for the world, and will leave no doubt that t

The dialogue created through these encounters demonstrates the growth of a principled man, encapsulating the major debates and concerns of the last quarter of the "American Century." Taken separately, the conversations provide a window on the recent past; taken together, they provide the basis for a new understanding of Carter the individualist and for a reassessment of an important segment of the political thought of our times. The interviewers are Adib Andrews, Bonnie Angelo, David Broder, Tom Brokaw, Hal Bruno, Eleanor Clift, Walter Cronkite, John Chancellor, Stanley Cloud, John Dancy, Sam

In the nineteenth century, tens of thousands of women died each year from childbed fever. The Carters describe birthing conditions and medical practices in Vienna during the time when young Semmelweis began to work in a maternity clinic there. He discovered that childbed fever arose because medical personnel did not wash adequately after dissecting corpses before doing vaginal examinations of women in labor. After he required students to disinfect themselves, the mortality rate immediately dropped. However, Semmelweis’s views were not accepted by the senior physicians who believed the di
