Conversation With The Cosmos; 60's Advertising
Conversation With The Cosmos
Award-winning science writer K.C. Cole joins Larry to talk about art and science, mind and matter, sense and soul. Mind Over Matter is her new collection of essays from her LA Times column which explores the intensely human endeavor of research and the messy ambiguities and deceptive nature of absolutes. Her greatest gift to the reader is the ability to find the connections between the far reaches of scientific research and combine them with the richness of everyday life.

This was a time when cigarette advertising and TV dinners were "in," and women were fast becoming liberated. What do these ads tell us about the 1960s? Join host Larry Mantle for a discussion of the ads of the 1960s.
