Quiz Show $6.3 It’s 1958, and the producers of the quiz show 21 have a problem. Their current champ, Herbert Stempel (John Turturro), has a phenomenal memory and a broad range of knowledge. He’s also a pudgy loudmouth with a grating personality, so Herbert is encouraged to “take a dive” and allow Charles Van Doren (Ralph Fiennes), a handsome and charming college professor, to become the show’s new champion. Audiences like Van Doren, and he’s certainly not averse to the money he’s winning, but the ethics of the situation begin to trouble him, especially when the show’s producers begin to give him the questions in advance. Director Robert Redford and writer Paul Attanasio paint a telling portrait of how the network heads and advertising men who manipulated the quiz shows were also able to manipulate the responsibility for the scandal away from themselves. While on the surface a story about the scandal itself, Quiz Show is just as importantly about a turning point in the 1950s when TV and advertising began to change American character and culture. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi |

Latin American Development Priorities $27.89 Many countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have achieved considerable economic growth, yet the region still faces many seemingly intractable problems. The conventional wisdom in development agencies – that prioritization is impossible and that everything must be done – is simply not effective. Latin American Development Priorities shows how limited resources could be used for the greatest benefit of the Latin American and Caribbean region. A panel of economists met over three days in San José to review proposals to tackle the ten most important challenges, which emerged from a survey by the Inter-American Development Bank. The expert panel was asked a question which appears simple but is actually very difficult to answer: What should Latin American governments do with an additional nominal 10 billion? Hard choices are needed if Latin America’s problems are to be tackled effectively. This book provides the means to make those choices as objectively as possible. |
