September 4^th Alan Stang will talk about health and politics.

Alan Stang was one of Mike Wallace's original writers at Channel 13 in New York, where he wrote some of the scripts that sent Mike to CBS. Stang has been a radio talk show host himself. In Los Angeles, he went head to head nightly with Larry King, and, according to Arbitron, had almost twice as many listeners. Presently, he conducts "the Sting of Stang" from Republic Broadcasting Network, Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 8 a.m., Central. Listen at republicbroadcasting.org .

He has been a foreign correspondent. He has written hundreds of feature magazine articles in national magazines and some seventeen books, for which he has won many awards, including a citation from the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for journalistic excellence. One of Stang's exposés stopped a criminal attempt to seize control of New Mexico, where a gang seized a court house, held a judge hostage and killed a deputy. The scheme was close to success before Stang intervened. Another Stang exposé inspired major reforms in federal labor legislation. His pieces appear regularly on his own site, alanstang.com, at newswithviews.com and at etherzone.com .

His first book, It's Very Simple: The True Story of Civil Rights, was an instant best-seller. His first novel, The Highest Virtue, set in the Russian Revolution, won smashing reviews and five stars, top rating, from the West Coast Review of Books, which gave five stars in only one per cent of its reviews. His latest book is Not Holier Than Thou: How Queer is Bush?

Stang has lectured in every American state and around the world and has guested on many top shows, including CNN's Cross Fire. Because he and his wife had the most kids in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic, where they lived at the time, the entire family was chosen to be actors in "Havana," directed by Sydney Pollack and starring Robert Redford, the most expensive movie ever made (at the time). Alan Stang is the man in the ridiculous Harry Truman shirt with the pasted-down hair. He says they made him do it
