(GK: Garrison Keillor, SS: Sue Scott, TK: Tom Keith, TR: Tim Russell, RD: Rich Dworsky)

....brought to you by Glenfrancisco, the 18-week-old single-herb Scotch made in California. If you don't care for Scotch, then you've never tried Glenfrancisco.

SS: I never cared for Scotch. I don't know. It was just so moody, it had all those dark overtones of regret and misgivings, and then a friend suggested Glenfrancisco. It's so sunny, and agreeable. It's so empowering. I love it.

It's the friendly free spirit of California....in a Scotch. Eighteen-weeks old, single-herb whisky. From the Pacific coast. (SURF, GULLS) Glenfrancisco.

RD: (GOOD VIBRATIONS)

I'm pickin up Glenfrancisco
I'm pickin up Glenfrancisco
I'm pickin up Glenfrancisco.....ooooooooooooooooooooo.

LIBERTY

Liberty:A Novel of Lake Wobegon A national holiday in Lake Wobegon is always gaudy and joyful. But what is going on between Clint Bunsen and Miss Liberty?
Everyone is here—Pastor Ingqvist, the Sons of Knute, Sister Arvonne of Our Lady of Perpetual Responsibility and her ocarina band, the Norwegian bachelor farmers, Dorothy and the Chatterbox Café, Wally in the Sidetrack Tap—as crowds converge on the little town to celebrate American independence, even as the chairman of the event broods on the great question of the day: Shall we struggle on valiantly here or shall we burst the bonds and find beautiful life in the golden west?



YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT?

Selections include "The Six-Minute Hamlet," a tribute to Emily Dickinson, a Guy Noir adventure that exposes an MFA scam, a riveting "Professional Organization of English Majors" drama, and guests Billy Collins, Robert Bly, Roy Blount Jr., and Calvin Trillin.
