Current passions:
In the spring of 2006, I worked with UC Berkeley students on a "Stem Cell Research and Public Policy" project (www.barglow.com/scrapp). Then in the election in November, stem cells, bless their hearts, played a perhaps decisive role in several close contests. I'm continuing to work with other advocates to educate politicians and the public about the healing promise of this research. See: www.stemcellaction.org and www.stemblog.net. For entertainment, see: BioChem 101
I've written a theater piece about the life and times of my mother Hildegard, who was an actress on the German stage before emigrating to this country in the late 30s. In the summer of 2005, we held a reading at my brother Peter's house, a few blocks away from where I live in Berkeley. Then in 2006 we shipped the play (along with my brother and his wife Margret, Pam, co-author Joanne, and myself) over to Dresden Germany where the play was read twice at the Synagogue there. See: www.wandertheater.org. Both in Berkeley and Dresden, these performances went pretty well, combining words and music, meaning and enjoyment.
On another note: After decades of relentless radicalism, I've embraced liberalism -- less utopian but more effective. I belong to a local Democratic Party club, the Wellstone Democratic Renewal Club, and am finding that rewarding. It seems to me that it is within the Democratic Party that we progressives have the best chance of communicating with all Americans and building a better world.
