Eddie Shapiro: Nothing Like a
Dame: Conversations with the Great
Women of Musical Theater
Tony Award-winner and Troy native
Sutton Foster is one of Broadway's
greatest stars. Audra McDonald won
five Tony Awards before she was 41

born in 1933, still kicks up her heels
and sings better than most women
one-quarter her age.
In Nothing Like a Dame, Eddie
Shapiro speaks with 20 leading
women of the theater, including
Foster, McDonald and Rivera, and
tells the remarkable stories of their
lives, challenges and greatest shows.
Tickets are $12.

James A. Grymes: Violins of
Hope: Violins of the Holocaust —
HEALTH/WELLNESS
Instruments of Hope and Liberation
in Mankind's Darkest Hour
Deep in a basement in central Tel
Aviv, there is an extraordinary work-
shop. The owner is Amnon Weinstein,
and his shop is filled with violins that
all come with a story.
For the past 20 years, Weinstein
has been restoring violins of the
Holocaust as a tribute to those who
died — including 400 of his own rela-
tives. Violins of Hope is the story of
one man who remembers and thou-
sands who were lost.
Post-it Notes. A charcoal and pastel
work by R.B. Kitaj sold for $925, mak-
ing it the most expensive Post-it Note
in the world.
Kitaj, Jack Levine, George Segal,
Audrey Flack and Larry Rivers were
some of the 20th century's leading
artists — and they were all Jewish.
Author Samantha Baskind considers
the way in which these five talents
(and other Jewish artists) used biblical
themes to address modern issues.

Liel Leibovitz: A Broken Hallelujah:
Archaeology of Shadows
Jock Mohoney was a native of Iowa,
a soldier during World War II and
one of Hollywood's greatest stuntmen,
doubling for Gregory Peck and Errol
Flynn. He also starred as Tarzan. And
then he met a tragic end.
Remember film butler Edward
Everett Horton? You won't believe
which famous author lived in a cot-
tage behind his house.
Paul Newman, Frank Sinatra, Jimmy
Stewart, Judy Garland, the famous, the
infamous and the forgotten — they all
had stories. In Hollywood Digs, Ken
LaZebnik unearths hidden histories
and tells them with wit and compas-
sion, revealing the tragedies, extraor-
dinary moments and surprising facts
about life in Hollywood.
Tickets are $12.
Rock and Roll, Redemption, and the
Life of Leonard Cohen
Singers, songwriters and music
stars come and go. Not Leonard
Cohen. From "Sisters of Mercy" to
"Suzanne" to "Hallelujah:' his songs
continue to be favorites of the world's
greatest performers and to top the
charts. Cohen himself is a man of
mystery who has had many loves and
identities. Here is the true story of
this rock icon.

Dr. Joel Kahn: The Whole Heart
Solution: Halt Heart Disease Now with
the Best Alternative and Traditional
Medicine
Did you know that 75 percent of heart
attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular
diseases are preventable, and that the road
to good health isn't paved with just strenu-
ous exercise and a diet of nothing more
substantial than celery?
In The Whole Heart Solution, Dr. Joel
Kahn, a practicing cardiologist in Detroit
for more than 20 years, offers easy, afford-
able ideas for combating America's No.
1 killer: heart disease. (Who could have
imagined that simply walking barefoot, for
example, could make such a difference?)

Breaks Your Heart: Coping with
Mental Illness, Substance Abuse,
and the Problems that Tear
Families Apart
Parents of young children with
mental issues face a world of chal-
lenges, but they are not without possibili-
ties. But what happens when older chil-
dren with serious mental problems refuse
to seek help? As adults, they can no longer
be forced into care. So what can parents
do with a son who is a drug addict or a
daughter who is schizophrenic and refuses
to take her medicine?
Dr. Joel Young of the Rochester Center
for Behavioral Medicine offers guidance,
ideas and hope for any family dealing with
one of the most painful situations imagin-
able.

Breast Cancer
She survived breast cancer and made it
through two C-sections. Now it's time to
face ordinary life, like being the mom of
two tweens.
Geralyn Lucas was 27 years old and
working on the TV show 20/20 when she
discovered a lump that was eventually
diagnosed as breast cancer, a challenge she
outlined in her book Why I Wore Lipstick
to My Mastectomy.
In her latest funny and touching mem-
oir, Lucas discusses how she's moving past
that traumatic time and dealing with the
ordinary challenges of the life she never
imagined she would have.

Esther Blum: Cave Women Don't Get Fat:
The Paleo Chic Diet for Rapid Results
It began with the hair.
For years, Esther Blum tried to control
her curls, a job she described much like
"trying to nail Jello to a tree:' Then she
decided there was a better way, and her
philosophy became "Love thy curls, love
thyself'
Blum realized she could make peace not
only with her hair but her entire body —
and that anyone can do the same. It's just
a matter of finding the right tools, and in
Cave Women Don't Get Fat, Blum provides
them. (For recipes from Esther Blum, see
page 68.)
