Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the Tony Award for Best Play and Drama Desk for Best Play. David Auburn’s first play is a play about family, mental health and math.

With the proof as a fulcrum, Catherine must come to terms with her discovery and her father’s legacy. This show contains foul language.

Mr. Carlson has constructed what may be the most racist show in the history of cable news — and also, by some measures, the most successful. Though he frequently declares himself an enemy of prejudice — “We don’t judge them by group, and we don’t judge them on their race,” Mr. Carlson explained to an interviewer a few weeks before accusing impoverished immigrants of making America dirty — his show teaches loathing and fear. Night after night, hour by hour, Mr. Carlson warns his viewers that they inhabit a civilization under siege — by violent Black Lives Matter protesters in American cities, by diseased migrants from south of the border, by refugees importing alien cultures, and by tech companies and cultural elites who will silence them, or label them racist, if they complain. When refugees from Africa, numbering in the hundreds, began crossing into Texas from Mexico during the Trump administration, he warned that the continent’s high birthrates meant the new arrivals might soon “overwhelm our country and change it completely and forever.” Amid nationwide outrage over George Floyd’s murder by a Minneapolis police officer, Mr. Carlson dismissed those protesting the killing as “criminal mobs.” Companies like Angie’s List and Papa John’s dropped their ads. The following month, “Tucker Carlson Tonight” became the highest-rated cable news show in history.
–From Nicholas Confessore’s “American Nationalist: How Tucker Carlson Stoked White Fear to Conquer Cable,” The New York Times, April 30, 2022.

On this “Pierre Appreciation Day,” we should all note that it has never been more important to support the scores of independent community publishers up and down the country. They amplify the issues that are important to their readers. Their stories could help restore public trust in journalism!
Happy Pierre Appreciation Day!!

@Merrill. . . Did you happen to catch the White House Correspondent’s Dinner? It was Wonderful!
Pierre. . . I thought of you while watching that program. President Biden said that we need “professional journalists” seeking the “FACTS” and publishing the truth now more than ever. He was so right!
In these days of rampant lies and misinformation FACTS MATTER! Thank you, Pierre, for your guiding light in the dark wilderness of lies, fear, hate and despair!
