...activists as speakers. The talks follow a short non-sectarian service and the whole ethical experience is topped off with a question-and-answer period and then a hat passing. The lecturer for the following Sunday, Jan. 23, will be Margaret Furnham, the defense attorney for Angela Davis and Ella Ellison, whose topic will be "Rape, Racism, and Criminal Justice." On Jan 30 Maxine Klein, director of the plays "Tania" and "Fan-shen" will give her thoughts on "Political Theater."

I caught this identical show last year at the Valley Forge Music Fair, outside Philly, and Ella was still incredible: still a great voice, still great scat-singing. She did the usuals: "Let's Do It," and a few Harold Arlen and George Gershwin numbers. Peterson was a little more on the cocktail, night club side...
