Daniel Joseph Martinez in Conversation with Juli Carson: "**** Up the White House" ("An artist and a theorist speculate on the intersection of heresy and hysteria as an emergent new form of discursive resistance. If the advances of the '80s culture war and recent Supreme Court civil rights victories are reversed by executive mandate, are we headed toward the kind of violent revolution that entail general strikes and martial law? When acts that were once considered legal are now decreed crimes, is art the last stop between freedom and abyss? And what of love? How can it be reimagined as the medium of resistance?")

William Daniels unveils There I Go Again: How I Came to Be Mr. Feeny, John Adams, Dr. Craig, KITT, and Many Others ($27, Potomac) ("Daniels is a rare chameleon who has enjoyed massive success both in Hollywood and on Broadway, embraced by fans of successive generations. Few of his peers inspire the fervor with which buffs celebrate his most iconic roles, among them George Feeny on Boy Meets World, KITT on Knight Rider, Dr. Mark Craig on St. Elsewhere, and John Adams in the play and film 1776. Looking back on his 75+-year career, Daniels realizes that although he never had the courage to say no to being an actor, he backed into stardom.")

In Palm Springs, built by media moguls, art collectors, and diplomats Walter and Leonore Annenberg, Sunnylands became a seat of power where politicians, movie stars, and corporate leaders could meet, relax, reflect, make deals, and run the world all with nobody watching. For 40 years, an invitation to New Year's Eve at Sunnylands was the ultimate social prize")
