Chris Matthews, host of MSNBC’s Hardball, is the ultimate savvy political insider. He served on the late House Majority Leader Tip O’Neill’s staff. He ran for Congress in Pennsylvania, and he didn’t win. He covered politics and international affairs for The San Francisco Chronicle and the San Francisco Examiner. In short, Chris Matthews inhales and exhales politics and the rest of us just breathe. He’s been attacked by the right, and by the left, and has engaged in battle with both parties. In a bit of a departure, Matthews has undertaken a biography– of President John F. Kennedy. He looks at Kennedy from the lens of a political animal, and concludes that JFK was heroic in many of the choices he made, and human, unsettling and troubled in some of his personal decisions. In his new book, Jack Kennedy, Elusive Hero, Matthews portrays Kennedy as a crusader for peace and civil liberties, and always on the edge.
Richard Dreyfuss has been in our favorite movies for decades and has amassed too many awards and nominations to name. To name a few: American Graffiti. Jaws. Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The Goodbye Girl. Down and Out in Beverly Hills. The meanest Republican ever in The American President. Mr. Holland’s Opus. W. and a recent great favorite, Red. But apart from playing heros and complicated bad guys, Richard Dreyfuss has engaged in social activism for years, lecturing on matters ranging from civil liberties to Israel to individual rights.
At Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills, 300 N. Clark Drive, Beverly Hills. (One block west of Robertson, three blocks north of Wilshire Blvd.)
