These sound interesting. I'll be honest, i had no idea China produced so many of the medicines we us in the US until just recently. Clearly, i thought it only made sense to produce those here where the patients are.
I didn't see the show. However, like most things, I would guess it's cheaper and few regulations.
Yes, this was mostly it. For me, not having used medications for much of my life but counting on them when i did, the latest info about the medical industry (opioid crisis, hospital bills & this importing meds) has me discouraged. Ignorance was bliss.

The Impeachers: The Trial of Andrew Johnson and the Dream of a Just Nation by Brenda Wineapple sounds like a good book. Having read Andrew Johnson: A Biography, i realized what a mess his presidency was and how it impacted what we are today. It was written by Hans L. Trefousse whose bio of Rutherford B. Hayes i began earlier this year but abandoned due to my own lack of enthusiasm. Time to pick that up again? I see that Trefousse also wrote a book about the Johnson impeachment. It is half the size of Wineapple's but i'm putting hers on my list, as the GR reviews are positive.

I've been slacking on my Presidential Determination List. But I will get back to it.
I hear ya! I have resolved to start reading from my DL (including Rutherford B. Hayes by Hans L. Trefousse, next in order for me), rather than books that catch my eye. No, really!

I don't recall Naomi Klein's book when it was released in '02 but am glad to learn about it now. No Logo sounds as though we could learn about corporate power and the consumer in one book.I see the Black Hills of South Dakota are going to be featured. One of my best remembered museums was in Deadwood. It was a converted old time mercantile store and a pleasure to visit. Thanks.

I never gave much thought to the Festivals, other than to read about them or attend. That Marie Arana is the literary director of the National Book Festival caught my eye. So, i looked her up & see that she edited the Washington Post's book review section (my favorite part of that paper), where i first heard of Jonathan Yardley, who was the paper's primary book reviewer. How about that? The stuff i learn without even viewing Book TV!

Loserthink: How Untrained Brains Are Ruining America, written by Dilbert cartoons artist, Scott Adams, could be controversial. This is a talk which might help folks decide whether or not to read the book. It appears GR believes it is a sort of self-help book, which might change the minds of some. That title, though, could annoy many people, imo.

The low rating reviews are quite harsh. So it's definitely a library book if I do read it.
Yes, i noticed the low ratings. It appears he's been doing more than Dilbert cartoons for awhile now, which surprised me.

Amity Shlaes’s book, Great Society: A New History, sounds as though it will be informative for a contrast between the ‘60s & now. I’ll make time to see her talk. Thanks, Alias.

I'm not a fan as she is not a fan of one of my favorite presidents, FDR. She is a bit too Republican right wing for my tastes.
Thanks for that added info, Alias. I’m not recalling a discussion of her other book but i can see why her FDR dislike would unfairly bias her book of the Depression.

I didn’t realize that, Janice. Look at me as an example — i was sure the title referred to the last presidential election.

The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Piss You Off!: Thoughts on Life, Love, and Rebellion is a good title, i must say. Gloria Steinem has been in the forefront of a strong movement for decades, so i imagine this book (& talk) will be fascinating.
