i am looking forward to tune in on the discussion in this file (there will be 
one won't there?) as the tv station is out of my reach.

If enough people watch the show and feel like discussing it, I guess there
will be a discussion.  I won't be among them - my son is the only one who
turns on the TV lately...

    Though I may catch the program, I certainly won't be expecting any sort
    of in-depth discussion of issues.  In a half-hour show in which nobody
    speaks for more than sixty seconds at a time, what I've consistently
    seen is a summation of the major positions of the day in sound bite
    form.  Seems to me McLauglin is better (i.e. more informative) in his
    solo show.
    
    "Bye bye. . ."

"a summation of the major positions of the day in sound bite form" would 
probably do nicely, steve, to follow up with an in-depth discussion in here. :-)

i am looking forward to get an update on the "new feminism", presumably it
has some relationship to NOW? (NOW being an acronym which i've seen appearing 
in US notes files lately, though i haven't got a clue what it stands for)

Re: .5

A common error - NOW = National Organization for Women
                                             ---

NOW is probably the most vocal organization in support of women's rights.
Many people use its name as a stand-in for whatever demon they happen to be
attacking at the moment, often ascribing to NOW positions it disagrees with.

I've been a member of NOW for a number of years.

McLaughlin must've changed his mind.  The show was titled as I stated in 
.0, but when he announced it he replaced the word "relationships" with 
"relations."

The participants, in clockwise rotation, beginning with the person seated 
to John's left:

    Katha Pollitt, "The Nation"
    John Leo, "U.S. News & World Report"
    Julianne Malveaux, "Sex, Lies, and Stereotypes"
    Christina Hoff Summers, "Who Stole Feminism"

My vote for quote of the show was from Malveaux, badgering Pollitt who was 
trying (as was everyone else) to get a word in edgewise:

    "Don't interrupt me with something lightweight like 'Get your
    facts right!'"

    Julianne's former specialty was baiting whyte mayles 
    on SF talk radio.
    
    Very loud, very left.
