Music. Photos. Videos. Historical commentary. Carmina Burana might be over, but an inter-arts performance featuring each medium returns to the Amphitheater, this time carried out by one individual.

Richard Glazier will perform his one-man musical and historical show “From Broadway to Hollywood” at 8:15 p.m. tonight in the Amp. A renowned Gershwin pianist, performer, docu-mentary fi lmmaker and storyteller,

Glazier’s performance will feature American popular songs from the early 20th century, in-cluding “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes,” “Over The Rainbow” and medleys from musicals such as Kiss Me, Kate and My Fair Lady.

He will also provide video footage showing the backstories of these songs and their composers, rare interview footage of the musi-cians he will honor, home videos from the Gershwin family and news footage from the 1910s, ’20s and ’30s, all airing during the performance.

Decimating a country via a bottomless arsenal of elite military technology is easy Rebuilding a country after the storm amid politi-cal ineffi cacy, raging insur-gency and ongoing warfare is the tricky part. It is also the focus of today’s morn-ing lecturers.

At 10:45 a.m. today in the Amphitheater, Stuart Bowen, former special in-spector general for Iraq Reconstruction, and Shadi Hamid, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution Cen-ter for Middle East Policy, will discuss how to rebuild Iraq under its inept regime, growing terrorist presence of the Islamic State group and constant bloodshed.

“Iraq is in chaos,” Bow-en said. “It’s been in vary-ing degrees of chaos since June 10 of last year when Mosul fell to ISIL. At this moment, it’s in political chaos as well because of signifi cant actions taken by

Haider al-Abadi to remove his deputy prime minis-ters and his vice presidents. That is part of a response to the Iraqi people’s call for reform, specifi cally for an improved, increased or at least incipient fi ght against corruption.”

There are roughly 3,500 U.S. troops currently sta-tioned in Iraq; Bowen thinks a full-scale military return to Iraq is all but in-evitable.

“Make no mistake about it: we are engaged militar-ily in support of the Iraqi and Kurdish forces that are trying to push the Islamic State forces back,” he said. “But if you’re asking, ‘Will that engagement expand?’ I’d say it’s likely. While we’ve made some progress, we haven’t made enough progress.”

On the other hand, Ha-mid believes that the only way to bring stability to the country is to install a demo-cratic government.

When Daniel Ferguson and the production crews of the IMAX films “Jour-ney To Mecca” and “Je-rusalem” began filming, they were told it would be impossible to get access to the holiest sites in the Abrahamic traditions.

Thanks to a fortunate combination of timing and personnel, that was not the case.

Ferguson, who wrote, produced and directed “Jerusalem” and wrote and produced “Journey To Mecca,” will discuss the process of creating those films in a lecture titled “1,001 Cups of Tea: What it Took to Create the IMAX Films ‘Jerusalem’ and ‘Journey to Mecca’ ” at 2 p.m. today in the Hall of Philosophy.

“Jerusalem” will also be screened in the Chau-

tauqua Cinema this week.“We’re like microcosms

of dealing with the Middle East — the politics, the ge-ography, the culture, the sensitivities, and so forth,” Ferguson said. “Really, it’s a story of miracles. I have no idea, in retrospect, how we managed to do it, but we clearly had the right people at the right time and at the right place.”

Knowledge, art, religion and music are not just tenets that don the four sides of the fountain on Bestor Plaza. They are motifs that weave through the lives and words and programs in Chautauqua.

They are also rights Malala Yousafzai risked her life to defend.

The young adult version of Yousafzai’s memoir I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up For Education and Was Shot By The Taliban is the Chautauqua Literary and Scientifi c Circle Young Readers program selection for Week Eight. At 4:15 p.m. today in the Literary Arts Center at Alumni Hall Ballroom, there will be a discussion of both the book and Yousafzai’s work. Pakistani-Americans Bia and Khalid Khan will also be a part of the discussion.

Associate Director of Education and Youth Services Matt Ewalt said is-sues of women’s rights, especially the education of women, are prevalent in volatile regions such as Pakistan.

“Part of the intention of having both Bia and Khalid there is to pro-vide context for understanding Mala-la’s story,” Ewalt said. “Malala’s story isn’t about her being shot. Her story is

about her courage before and after to continue to change her world.”

The book doesn’t shy away from vi-olence, but the young reader’s edition still enables young people to discuss the ideas and their reactions with adults who have read the original ver-sion, Ewalt said.

Zeenat Ahmed, a longtime Chau-

tauquan and wife of Pakistani Am-bassador Akbar Ahmed, said she’s known Yousafzai for quite some time — Swat, Pakistan, is their shared hometown.

The maturity and clarity in Yousafzai’s demeanor and thoughts evident in her memoir is something she radiates in real life, Ahmed said.

“She is very much like that,” Ahmed said. “A lot of young girls are like that in Swat — they’re very mature and they have plans to change their worlds. Malala is exceptional because she really puts it into practice — what she wants to see — and has her father’s support.”

The Swat Valley is diff erent from the remainder of Pakistan in that there are many more schools available to young girls and boys, Ahmed said. Girls, es-pecially, are exposed to an atmosphere where they can become very educated.

“I think all women feel that girls should not be denied education, and for some places in the world, that is the reality,” Ahmed said. “Malala’s such a young girl, but she’s so wise. She has a great vision where she wants every girl to be educated, not just in Pakistan — globally.”

The first step to playing a character is taking a walk in his shoes and understanding his personality. Jonathan Ma-jors took no such walk — he already found it hard to sepa-rate himself from the king.

The second-year Chau-tauqua Theater Company’s conservatory actor, who plays the titular role in Henry V, takes the stage in CTC’s shakespeare produc-tion at 2:15 p.m. and 8 p.m. today Bratton Theater. The play runs through Friday.

“I love [Henry],” Majors said. “He is very akin to my upbringing. He is a rough kid, very ambitious, very strong-minded. He really transforms himself to a king and a leader of men.”

The rough beginnings, leadership qualities and re-sponsibilities were what most spoke to Majors when it came time to find himself in Henry.

“The story is about what

it means to be a leader, about a legacy and the character of human,” Majors said.

CTC Artistic Director Vivienne Benesch had al-ways seen Henry in Majors. Last summer, Majors played Walter Lee Younger in A Rai-sin in the Sun.

“I confess that when I saw him last year, I knew that he would be a great Henry,” Benesch said, “but he had to go through the audition pro-cess this year again.”

Henry has to make some quick decisions in the play re-garding war and his people. To Majors, the lack of time to think was a challenge.

“Henry has no time to plan. He has to respond quickly,” he said. “I am mak-

ing decisions the whole time and watching how those de-cisions have impacted not just myself, but also my peo-ple and followers.”

Majors was first drawn to the english king’s charac-ter after watching one of the Henry V film adaptations in eighth grade. He read the play again after being cast as the lead; that, he said, was a revelatory experience.

“There was a responsibil-ity that came with being cast as Henry,” he said. “ ‘This was going to be a daunting task,’ is what I thought to myself, but I will make it happen.”

Majors has performed in many shakespeare plays and said besides Henry V, he also loves Richard II. He’s performed both, and is now convinced he could never be like Richard.

“Having played Henry, I know that he and I share the same temperament,” he said.

Henry’s honesty is what appeals to Majors the most.

“In Act 5, scene 2, Henry says to Catherine, ‘Though I speak it before his face, if he be not fellow with the best king, thou shalt find the best king of good fellows,’ ” Majors said. “That, to me, is honesty — I may not be the best leader, but amongst reg-ular guys, I am the best regu-lar guy, so trust me.”

Anderson Foundation sponsors Scholar in Residence program

Goldberg to discuss open online courses, international entrepreneurship

Bruce WaltonStaff Writer

On the morning of Aug. 11, approximately 250 mem-bers of the Bestor society and the eleanor B. Daugh-erty society gathered in smith Wilkes Hall for the annual scholar in Residence program, presented by the Chautauqua Foundation.

Roger Cohen, New York Times columnist, led the scholar in Residence lecture series from Tuesday to Thurs-day. Cohen more deeply ex-plored Week seven’s theme of “Redefining Europe” over the three-day course, titled “A Combustible europe: na-tionalism, Religious Passions and Disunion.”

“It’s a great chance to look at european issues and look at three european societies — France, Germany and Ita-ly,” Cohen said. “I think Eu-rope tends to get a little ne-glected in political discourse in the U.s., so it’s great to see this degree of interest.”

each day, Cohen focused on a particular nation, and said he was happy to come to the lecture as a scholar rath-er than a journalist, where he can reflect on issues much longer than he usually does as a reporter.

The scholar in Resi-dence program is offered exclusively to members of the Bestor society and the Daugherty society, which recognize donors who make an annual gift of

$3,500 or more to the Chau-tauqua Fund and those who have designated a planned gift to Chautauqua, respec-tively. Geof Follansbee, vice president and CeO of the Chautauqua Foundation, said the seminar has been a great success since it was begun in 1991. The program is an expression of grati-tude for the investments and care for Chautauqua provided by these mem-bers, he said.

The 2015 seminar was funded by a gift from the ed-ward L. Anderson Jr. Founda-tion, which has underwritten the scholar in Residence pro-gram since 2010.

Anderson passed away in 2012, but his sons steven and David continue to sup-port many of the causes their father believed in, in-cluding this special seminar — a “most valuable thing,” steven Anderson said.

“I think the program takes some of the Chau-

tauqua themes and gets in deeper for some of the folks who are really committed to the Institution, as a kind of way of both giving back and thanking those who support

it,” David Anderson said at last year’s event.

The brothers share their father’s love of learning and appreciation for the Chau-tauqua experience. steven

reflected on his time as a child growing up here in the ’70s and said he and David want to keep giving to the place that made them and their late father so happy.

Although it may sound like a cow with a cough, the acronym “MOOC” stands for something even more substantive that has been resonating around the world since 2008 and had become a popular approach to learn-ing by 2012 — the massive open online course.

The development of the web enhanced the feasibility of distance education. Open access and unlimited partici-pation are characteristic of MOOCs, which, under their current business model, are typically free of charge. They are available in a variety of formats through a range of commercial and not-for-prof-it platforms.

As part of the “Chautau-qua Speaks” series, venture capitalist and Case Western Reserve University assistant professor Michael Gold-berg will talk about “Tak-ing a University Course to the Masses: How A CWRU Professor Developed a Course for Over 50,000 stu-dents from 190 Countries,” at 9:15 a.m. Thursday at the Chautauqua Women’s Club House.

Twice during 2014, Gold-berg taught a seven-week online course titled, “Beyond silicon Valley: Growing en-trepreneurship in Transi-tioning Economies.” He said it has been translated into 13 languages and become the top translated MOOC avail-able through the “Coursera” platform.

After graduating from Princeton University, Gold-berg worked in south Africa for the national Democratic Institute for two years.

Before he began designing and implementing voter ed-ucation programs for south Africa’s first democratic elec-tion in 1994, including de-veloping culturally nuanced material, he knew nothing about voter education. Af-terward, he remained in the country for a year and taught in a rural school.

His return to the U.s.,

Goldberg said, coincided with “Internet 101,” the widespread launch of the Web, and he decided to ap-ply to business schools.

While earning his MBA at the University of Pennsylva-nia’s Wharton school, Gold-berg worked for Microsoft, and after graduating, for IMG, a global sports, events, and talent management com-pany.

“They gave me a taste of the startup world,” he said.

For five years he worked at America Online, where he became the director of inter-national business develop-ment and was responsible for structuring and negotiating international partnerships in Asia. One such partner-ship was AOL’s joint venture with the Chinese multina-tional computer technology company Lenovo Group, to develop interactive services for the Chinese market.

When AOL backed away from international develop-ment work, Goldberg said he became interested in invest-ing. With Avshalom Horan,

he co-founded the Bridge In-vestment Fund L.P. nearly 10 years ago to invest in Israeli medical device companies that have completed their initial clinical trials and are seeking further clinical vali-dation and a marketing or-ganization in the U.s.

“Initially, the technology was mainly for military use,” Goldberg said. “A lot of tech companies are using tech-nology that was originally for military applications.”

Goldberg has been active in Cleveland’s entrepreneur-ship community. He has served as a mentor to north-east Ohio entrepreneurs through the public-private partnership “JumpStart” and the Cleveland startup accelerator and venture fund “FlashStarts.”

since the turn of the cen-tury, public-private part-nerships in Cleveland have been transforming it from Entrepreneur magazine’s least entrepreneurial region into a model of innovation and entrepreneurship for other cities, regions, and even countries that are not rich in private sources of funding.

Cleveland is a more apt model for Vietnam, Gold-berg said, than is silicon Val-ley.

Thanks to two Fulbright fellowships, Goldberg, who began teaching at CWRU in 2009 in an adjunct capac-ity, had the opportunity to teach entrepreneurship at the national economics University in Hanoi, Viet-nam, in 2012, and at the Polytechnic of namibia in Windhoek, namibia, ear-lier this summer. He has

also taught courses in en-trepreneurial management and finance in Turkey and Greece.

“There are parallels to the developing world and the startup world,” Goldberg said. “It’s pretty unstruc-tured and you have to be cre-ative.”

“I have done international stuff my whole career and continue to be challenged by figuring out what works local-ly — how to thoughtfully cre-ate content and product of val-ue to local people,” Goldberg also said. “entrepreneurship

is hard. We’re seeing tremen-dous job loss. Lots of commu-nities around the world are struggling with it.”

He’s seen that struggle first-hand: in partnership with the U.s. Department of state, which sponsors the Ful-bright Program, Goldberg has conducted entrepreneurship seminars around the world.

In Germany this past March, for example, the U.s. Consulate in Düsseldorf partnered with a local orga-nization doing MOOCs. Of the 50 or so people partici-pating in the entrepreneur-

ship class, only two or three had officially registered for it. Goldberg said they gath-ered at local accelerators and had local discussions about the role of non-governmen-tal organizations.

According to Goldberg, the MOOC world is current-ly in an experimental phase.

“There’s a lot of work, thought and planning that goes into the pedagogy,” he said. “An online course is different. I think MOOCs are yet another opportunity for people to go deeper into topics.”goldberg

New York Times columnist Roger Cohen delivers a lecture to 250 Bestor Society and Eleanor B. Daugherty Society members Thursday in Smith Wilkes Hall. Cohen served as the 2015 Scholar in Residence, a residency funded by a gift from the Edward L. Anderson Jr. Foundation.

I think Europe tends to get a little neglected in political discourse in the U.S., so it’s great to see this degree of interest.”

—roger CoHeN Columnist, New York Times

While it sounds like tired rhetoric, that’s because Ha-mid said it was used exclu-sively as a rhetorical advice during the Bush presidency, yet never put into action.

“It is safe to say that the Bush administration’s project to promote Middle East de-mocracy failed,” Hamid said in an article for the Hoover Institution. “It failed because

it was never really tried. With the exception of a brief pe-riod in 2004 and 2005 when significant pressure was put on Arab regimes, democracy promotion was little more than a rhetorical advice.”

The Islamic State group has largely undone much of the work done to rebuild Iraq, Bowen said. After the U.S. pulled out of the country, he said former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki did an insuf-ficient job continuing the for-tification of military needs,

which left forces vulnerable.Likewise, Bowen said the

country is and will continue to be harmed by widespread corruption throughout its government structure.

“Corruption has daunted Iraq since 2003,” he said.

Besides the recent reclaim-ing of Tikrit, Bowen said there has not been much suc-cess in Iraq given the Islamic State group’s current holds on Mosul, Ramadi and Fal-lujah.

Looking forward, Bowen

said, the situation in Iraq is not a promising one. Even re-cent allegations that the ter-rorist group used chemical weapons on Kurdish forces won’t catalyze U.S. military intervention, he said, but it demonstrates the raw evil and lawlessness the group expresses.

“It certainly demonstrates that there are no limits to the evil that ISIS will commit, and we should expect more of the same,” Bowen said.

Much of the access to holy sites for the filming was gained through simple in-terpersonal diplomacy and trust-building, Ferguson said.

“It doesn’t matter if you have all the money and in-fluence and equipment in the world,” he said. “It re-ally doesn’t mean anything unless the right people trust you.”

“Jerusalem” explores the city through the eyes of three teenage girls, each of whom follow one of the three Abra-hamic faiths: Judaism, Chris-tianity and Islam. Though this approach meant the film had an inherently interfaith perspective, Ferguson said retaining balance both in the film and in audience appeal remained a challenge.

“People just sort of laughed and said, ‘It will be propagan-da for one side or the other,’ ” he said. “The challenge really was that everyone perceives this as a place of constant conflict and polemics and di-visive issues, and it is. But it’s also a deeply important place to everyone’s culture.”

Although Ferguson had

lived in the Persian Gulf re-gion and Jerusalem before working on the film, creat-ing “Jerusalem” changed his perspective on the city, show-ing him there are many ways to interpret the same sacred space.

“I don’t think that Jeru-salem as an idea is any one thing at all, and I think that what I learned making the movie is that it encourages people to listen to each oth-er’s Jerusalems, and it rec-ognizes that there are many [understandings of the city],” he said. “Everyone sees what they want to see in Jerusalem, that’s what so great about it.”

These layered perspectives are what Ferguson hopes to convey through the IMAX medium.

“What IMAX does is it al-lows you to inhabit space, so you get to experience what life might be like for a Jew, Christian, archeologist or Muslim living different lives in Jerusalem,” he said. “You might not change your [own] perspective on it, but even to just acknowledging that there’s someone out there who sees something that you love in a different way, I think it’s a really valuable idea.”

In 2014, Yousafzai, then 17 years old, became the young-est person to receive the No-bel Peace Prize. To garner that recognition when she grew up in an area that hard-ly has access to mass media is an achievement that makes her a role model for all young women, Ahmed said.

Ewalt echoed Ahmed’s

sentiment and said the pro-gram will most likely be a discussion of Yousafzai’s life rather than the book itself.

“Malala is a wonderful reminder of the way young people can inspire and chal-lenge their elders to rethink and reshape the world we live in,” Ewalt said. “For someone who literally stood up for education — I think there’s a power in this story for all of us who take educa-tion for granted.”

In this way, his work aims to present classic songs within the historical context of America at that time.

“My goal for this perfor-mance is that we celebrate America, celebrate our lin-eage and our heritage,” he said.

“These songs represent our cultural heritage in a strong sense and mean so much to so many people. Chautauqua also represents our American heritage in a way, and I think that’s a wonderful relationship.”

Glazier has performed at Chautauqua more times than he can remember since 1991, after he won the Young Artist Award from the Na-tional Federation of Music Clubs that year. Though he has also performed in near-ly every state, he said this is one of his favorite venues.

“Whether it’s a gymna-sium, concert hall, prison, hospital — you name it, and I’ve played there,” he said. “But because of the tradition, the history, all the wonderful people that come here and the wonderful cul-tural events that have hap-pened here, Chautauqua is a very special place.”

He cited numerous in-dividuals who have influ-enced him and who he met at the Institution, including musician and actor David McCallum and retired jour-nalist Jim Lehrer.

“I met some of the most wonderful people I’ve ever met in my life at Chautau-

qua,” Glazier said.He recognized that his

work is a rare niche within the musical and perfor-mance world, but he hopes to see that niche spread and thrive even though the age of the American popular song is long past.

“What I do is very unique,” he said. “Certainly, there are people that lecture and talk about the subject of this music and these songs, but there are few people that perform this music, people that record it into multime-dia forms and have it in a seamless one-man show.”

Now 53, Glazier started playing piano when he was 6 years old. At age 12, he was introduced to the music of George and Ira Gershwin and was so inspired that he wrote Ira Gershwin a fan letter. The famed musician then invited him to come to Beverly Hills and play songs for him.

Glazier hopes to engage younger crowds with this music in order to preserve it further into the future, as he is unsure how much longer he will continue touring, partly due to the grueling nature of being on the road. Sharing this music with people, however, keeps him excited about his work.

“Being able to bring some magic to the audience, and receive the love of mu-sic back from the audience in a give-and-take kind of thing is the most reward-ing part of what I do,” he said. “This music will live forever. It will be alive when we’re gone. It’s timeless.”

There’s an old aphorism that you never get a second chance to make a first impression. In Chautauqua, where the marketing data shows that a majority of visitors stay on the grounds for mostly shorter periods in a nine-week summer season, first impressions seem to matter more than ever. In this context, an interesting opportunity recently arose. Invited by their daughter CiCi to spend the sum-mer at Chautauqua, two elderly Chinese professors are visiting this area for the first time. They are Michael Chang and Sandi Chu. At times, their daughter interpreted their remarks from their native language. Michael was more reserved, so Sandi spoke mostly for the couple. We talked in the living room of a newly renovated home off the grounds. Before we spoke, the professors shared some impres-sions, first in a written testimonial by Sandi:

thank you for visiting us. Actually, we’ve visited the u.S.

over 20 times, except Chautauqua. We are very happy our daughter invited us to join the Chautauqua institution sum-mer season festival.

Chautauqua, what a beautiful, quiet and unadorned vil-lage. A lot of neat houses surrounded by a lot of big old trees by the main square. the air is fresh and comfortable. Chau-tauqua looks like a wonderful picture appeared in front of us.

It is the first time we went to the Fourth of July concert. the American people rejoice and are proudest on the na-tional day and brimming with high respect for the American veterans.

We enjoy very much Chautauqua institution-organized events. the theme of the subject informs us of the art, reli-gion, knowledge, music. the old history of Chautauqua, ex-cellent cultural tradition has continued and developed over 141 years. there are many various workshops, interfaith wor-ship, lecture, museum, music school, arts and entertainment.

Finally, we enjoyed symphony orchestra concert, piano re-cital, opera, ballet and much, much more. We learn a lot, and we are having a great time.

Sandi, you and Michael have lived in Hong Kong for many years. Sandi: yes, we moved there a long time ago. CiCi grew up

there, though she was born in Shanghai. We have been visit-ing in the u.S. for 30 years.

CiCi, how did you wind up in the U.S.? CiCi: i auditioned for many music schools and was ac-

cepted for study here in the u.S.

Sandi and Michael, what were your impressions of Chautauqua be-fore you actually came to visit this summer?

Sandi: We had expected a different countryside than we

were used to. Very different from the city life.

CiCi: It was different from anything they had experi-enced. they have lived in the city in China, and stayed with me in cities when they visited in the u.S.

Sandi: We had visited in new york City, Washington,

D.C., Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Francisco. We had vis-ited our daughter many times.

CiCi: Their idea of living in the country was totally differ-

ent than what they have experienced here. they were expect-ing poverty, crime, despair — the kinds of things that are present in the countryside in China. This is different from that. So they are actually getting a sense of a kind of cosmo-politan life in Chautauqua.

What were your first impressions of Chautauqua? Sandi: it was very peaceful. the air was fresh. All the

people were very kind, friendly, with a smile on their face. in China, people are different.

More private, perhaps? Sandi: yes, that’s right. more private, in their own world.

Here, it feels more like a big family. People are friendly. We feel a personal warmth here. And no air pollution. there is an honest feeling.

Tell me about that. Sandi: We have been talking with people, touching on the

arm. there is an air of trust. CiCi: my parents feel safe here — in the sense that they

feel safe in speaking to a stranger. in China, there is a feeling that to approach a stranger is to invade their privacy.

Any other thoughts as you walk around the grounds? Sandi: i was impressed by how disciplined people are.

they are committed to the learning, to expand the knowl-edge. they are interested in everything. i went to a lot of

things: master classes, concerts, opera, lectures, dance. And i have been going to swim often.

CiCi: my mom has been interacting a lot with people she

meets around the grounds. She has gotten a good feel for this place, i think. She has felt very welcome.

Sandi: i think Chautauqua institution stands for those

four words: Knowledge, Art, Religion, music.

It sounds like you have enjoyed your summer here in Chautauqua. Sandi: it has been wonderful to enjoy everything Chau-

tauqua has to offer. I want to continue to learn in my life and this place is full of people who also seem to want to do that. it doesn’t really feel like the countryside to me. it feels more like the city, with friendly people. i like it here.

Tell me a little about your life in China. Sandi: We were college professors. i was born in Shang-

hai and taught piano. We moved to Hong Kong in the late 1970s for the freedoms it offered. It was difficult during the Cultural Revolution in China for a lot of people, including academics. Even since the British turned over Hong Kong to China, there are some rules there which are different and less restrictive than in China.

Michael: i was a mathematics professor at university. We

were not interested in the politics in China. And it was much better in Hong Kong for the future of our two children.

CiCi: it’s kind of a “one country, two systems” set-up. i

think it is not in the Chinese mindset to do anything but make money. money is all that matters in China. People don’t care how they make their money, but they are always seek-ing riches. Wealth is what people look up to. i don’t think people care much about each other in China.

there is a lot of corruption in China, cynicism. People bring difficulties upon themselves, it seems. They don’t seek the easy path. our American lifestyle is alien to them.

Michael: Chinese men are very reserved into themselves.

Here in the u.S., there is more openness, more friendliness. Sandi: People worry too much about life in China. And

people in the countryside are always poor; they want to get into the city.

CiCi: there isn’t much of a middle class in China. there

is a huge gap between rich people and poor people in China. it is 10 times worse than in the united States. no one much wants to live in the countryside any more. And kids are un-der intense pressure everywhere; it’s a very competitive en-vironment.

The Donald West King sr. and Francis Lila Lee King Lectureship of the Chautau-qua Foundation sponsors today’s 10:45 a.m. lecture featuring stuart Bowen and shadi Hamid.

In 1940, at 14 years old and a student at Jamestown High school, Donald West King took his first job landscaping on the grounds and cleaning the Amphitheater. now a re-nowned expert in the field of pathology, King and his wife, Mary Elizabeth Dicka-son King, also an expert pa-thologist, visit Chautauqua each summer. A testament to his love and loyalty to Chautauqua, King has hard-ly missed a single summer since taking that first job. To honor his parents, King has established the Donald West King sr. and Francis Lila Lee King Lectureship that will support the morning lecture series.

King received his medi-cal degree from syracuse University in 1949. After his residency he served a tour of duty in the Medical Corps

of the U.s. Army during the Korean War. He has been a member of the faculty at Yale University; the University of Colorado, where he served as chair of the Department of Pathology and director of the Given Institute of Pathology; Columbia University, where he was chairman of the De-partment of Pathology; and the University of Chicago, where he served as dean of Biological sciences and vice president of the University of Chicago Medical Center. He recently retired from the National Library of Medi-cine in Washington, D.C., as deputy director for Research and education.

King married Mary eliza-beth Dickason in 1952. She has held faculty positions teaching pathology at Co-lumbia College of Physicians and surgeons, Cornell Uni-versity College of Medicine, and the University of Illi-nois. The Kings currently re-side in Bronx, New York, and have three children and six grandchildren.

The Arthur and Helen Reycroft Memorial Reli-gious Lectureship Fund of the Chautauqua Foundation provides funding for today’s interfaith lecture by Daniel Ferguson.

Helen McMillan Reycroft, a Presbyterian, was born in Bridgeville, Pennsylva-nia, and came to Chautau-qua during World War I to work as a chambermaid at the Athenaeum Hotel. she married Arthur Reycroft, a Cambridge, Massachusetts, Unitarian, and they settled in Monessen, Pennsylvania.

In 1932, Helen convinced her husband to stop at Chau-tauqua for a brief visit on a family trip to Boston, and their four daughters imme-diately begged to stay an-other week, which turned into the whole summer. From then on, they were all committed Chautauquans, spending every subsequent summer at Chautauqua.

After her husband’s death in 1954, Helen Reycroft be-came a year-round resident of the Institution until her death in 1976. Their four daughters, Jean summer-ville, the late Dorothy Hol-

lingsworth, Mary ellen Moran and Barbara Sellers, continued to maintain strong ties to Chautauqua, as have dozens of their grand-children and great-grand-children.

The Reycrofts’ grandson, Jay summerville, said: “My grandparents were not peo-ple of extraordinary means, and it must have required many sacrifices to give their girls the gift of Chautauqua every summer during those hard years of the Depression. That gift has transformed dozens of lives. Chautauqua was central to my grand-parents’ spiritual lives, and their gift of Chautauqua to their descendants has trans-formed our lives in count-less ways. This lectureship is a very small ‘thank you’ for my grandparents’ wonderful gift.”

If you would be interested in discussing the possibility of es-tablishing an endowed lecture-ship or supporting another as-pect of Chautauqua’s program, please contact Dustin Nelson, director of gift planning, at 716-357-6409 or email him at dnel-son@ciweb.org.

Audience etiquetteAt the heart of Chautauqua’s performance life is the Amphitheater. This venerable structure, built in 1893, offers a unique listening experience, which requires the cooperation of all audience members. • Seating is non-reserved for all Amphitheater events with the exception of premium seating for certain 8:15 pm programs and orchestra concerts, when Symphony Patron seats are reserved until after the first selection or movement. • Saving seats is discouraged and audience members are encouraged to arrive early, especially for the busy Friday night specials when attendance is heavy. • For the safety of audience members, aisles must remain clear. • Smoking, food and drink (with the exception of water bottles) are prohibited in all performance venues. Animals (with the exception of dogs assisting disabled people) are also prohibited in performance venues. • Coming late and leaving early are discouraged. If this cannot be avoided, do so as quietly and discreetly as possible via the side aisles. Do not enter or exit through the tunnels on either side of the Amphitheater stage during a performance. • Audience and performers alike are disturbed by unnecessary noise and commotion. Crying or vocal children, squeaky strollers and buggies and barking dogs should be taken out of audience hearing range during performances. • Audience members who listen from the fence surrounding the Amphitheater should limit their noise or cigarette smoke so as not to disturb others. • Audience members should be aware that many people are sensitive and/or allergic to perfumes and other fragrances. • Computers, cell phones, pagers and laptops must be silenced in all performance facilities.

Jawad Nabulsi, founder of the social entrepreneurship initiative Nebny Foundation, speaks with journalist, author and foreign policy analyst Robin Wright during the Tuesday lecture in the Amphitheater.

Wright and Nabulsi discuss Egypt’s revolution, past and presentsam flynnStaff Writer

Despite canceled flights and a lack of a credit card, Jawad Nabulsi drove a rent-ed car eight hours from Chi-cago to make it to Chautau-qua. That persistence is what got him to the Amphitheater 45 minutes prior to Tues-day’s morning lecture. It is also what got him through Egypt’s turbulent recent his-tory.

Nabulsi, who was named by ArabianBusiness.com as the No. 1 most powerful Arab under 40, is the founder of the non-governmental orga-nization, Nebny Foundation.

Robin Wright, a foreign affairs journalist and joint fellow at USIP and the Wil-son Center, joined him on stage. Together, they dis-cussed his advocacy work, the Arab Spring and the fu-ture of egypt.

Egypt is the intellectual and political trend center of the Middle East, Wright said. It is also the largest country of the 22 Arab nations, ac-counting for one-quarter of the world’s 350 million Arabs. Egypt was the first Arab country to make peace with Israel as well as one of the first to undergo the Arab Spring. However, it reflects the many problems of the re-gion as well.

“What happens in Egypt spills over across the re-gion,” she said.

Egypt is home to the larg-est baby boom proportional

to its population, Wright said. It is one of several Arab countries that are youth-dominated. The average age of people in Yemen is 18, in Saudi Arabia it is 26 and, in egypt, it is 25. Nearly 70 per-cent of the Egyptian popula-tion, which totals 90 million, is under 30. Its capital, Cairo, has a population of 20 mil-lion alone.

education is severely limited, as Nabulsi said 70 percent of students enrolled in school are illiterate. As a consequence, youth unem-ployment is as high, which increases youths’ tendency to be radicalized. egypt’s economy, largely dependent on tourism, makes its inner turmoil especially hard on the country’s livelihood.

Nabulsi, an affluent and upper-class citizen, went to college in Nova Scotia, Canada, and was there dur-ing 9/11. It was an event that hurt Arabs and Muslims everywhere, he said. He re-turned to egypt in 2006.

“If I, who is educated, privileged and has access, do not go back and help my people, then I am in denial,” he said.

The revolution, which be-gan in January 2011, “did not just happen,” Nabulsi said. It was the result of internal problems that built to a “tip-ping point.” In fact, it was Malcolm Gladwell’s 2000 book The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference, that first gave him

hope for change in his home country.

A simple Facebook event generated thousands of pro-testers in egypt’s streets on Jan. 25, 2011, chanting “Freedom, bread and social justice,” he said. Three days later, police opened fire on the crowd.

“You would just see peo-ple falling, and now that I think about, people didn’t run away,” he said. “There were people who died beside me, but for some reason, we just kept going. So what hap-pened? Before midnight, I got shot in my left eye, and I lost my left eye.”

The police used bird shots and specifically aimed for protestors’ eyes. In the after-math, there were more than 1,500 cases of blinding, and the Hosni Mubarak govern-ment shut down all commu-nications. This only further fueled the revolution, Nabul-si said.

It took him almost seven hours to find a hospital that would treat him because the government had instructed many to refuse service to revolutionaries. Through the recruitment volunteer doc-tors, he and others were able to establish a call center to treat over 1,200 people.

“This proved to us that we can handle something that the government should have handled,” he said. “This showed us how dysfunction-al the country was.”

Advocacy gives Nabulsi

purpose. Every hour in the slums of Cairo provided him with the opportunity to help and offer advice. He was proud to provide children with the learning they so craved, he said.

“I can tell you the feeling I have inside me is not me be-ing humble. It’s selfish, but I feel happy,” he said. “I swear [helping others] was the first time in my life that I felt my life has meaning.”

Nabulsi has been out of egypt for two years, fur-thering his education in the U.S. While he is abroad, his foundation is run by an over-whelming majority — 90 per-cent — of women. Since vol-unteers rise by performance, he said it was a clear indica-

tor that the future of Egypt would be written by women.

The organization cur-rently serves 150,000 people with a focus on economic, environmental and health is-sues. In many cases, Nabulsi said families’ incomes have increased by 30 to 40 percent and are reinvested in educa-tion. To him, this reinforces the Egyptian people’s desire to get educated. The Nebny Foundation educates 1,200 elementary students every year.

The political situation in Egypt remains dire, Nabulsi said. Many of his friends are in jail or exile. Its first demo-cratically elected president in half a century was over-thrown in another military

coup in 2013. Despite the current regime’s hegemonic hold on the country, there is not yet a groundswell for revolution. As Wright ex-plained, sometimes stability is desired at a cost.

However, Nabulsi main-tains hope things will get better. What change does come will come from grass-roots movements, he insists, and not from illegitimate governance.

“I feel that the majority of the Egyptian youth have a certain amount of confi-dence that is unprecedent-ed,” he said. “Because all our parents said that Mubarak would never leave. Nobody even imagined it. And he’s in jail today.”

Morning Worship

SAALIK KHAN | Staff Photographer

The Rev. Anna Carter Florence shared her faith journey at the 5 p.m. Sunday Vespers in the Hall of Philosophy. She said theater training in college taught her how to read texts. “Truth comes in many iterations around the same text,” she said. “We recognize truth when we hear it.” She said it was amazing to teach in a context where preaching is powerful for good and evil. “It is a joy to help students walk straight into Scripture unafraid of what God might do. Learning to read texts is the most important thing they have to do if the world will survive. Eboo Patel said that religion is the topic for the 21st century, and students can use it either to build a bridge or a bomb. I invite them to find new ways to be together in the word.” Asked about the future of the church, she said: “I am not scared. I am not lacking in hope. The church is not going anywhere, but it may look completely different.” —Mary Lee Talbot

‘we recognize truth when we hear it’

“Jesus and his disciples are on their way to Je-rusalem and all it entails,” said the rev. Anna Carter Florence at the 9:15 a.m. Tuesday morning worship service in the Amphitheater. “They are

passing through a region where they are guests, strangers, foreigners. The lines may be imaginary, but they are real lines.”

Her sermon title was “This Foreigner,” and the text was luke 17:11-19.

They meet 10 lepers — not 10 bridesmaids — who are in need of healing, which Jesus does.

“This is a very familiar story, and in church and Sunday school we have learned to how important it is to say thank you to god,” she said. “But even the most familiar texts can do backflips on you, and that has happened to me.”

She asked the congregation to listen to Jesus’ words: “Weren’t 10 made clean, and the other nine, where are they? Was none of them found to return and give praise except ‘this foreigner?’ ”

Jesus was not talking to the man, but to the disciples, she said.

“Who does that in a region filled with foreigners, which Jesus was,” she said.

When her children were young, she and her husband would drive them from georgia to a summer camp in the Adirondacks in northern new York, Florence said. They knew they were getting closer because there were road signs in both english and French, which meant they were near Canadian province Québec’s border.

“it is a sign of respect to try to speak French in Québec; it is what good neighbors do,” she said. “i would never ask for help in a store in Québec and then turn to my husband and say, ‘Hey, honey, did you hear what this foreigner just told me?’ That is a way to get into trouble. What was Jesus think-ing [in calling the man ‘this foreigner’]? Was it a slip or was it a deliberate move?”

The region Jesus was passing through was not the most direct way to Jerusalem from galilee.

“it is like coming to Chautauqua from Boston by way of Tennessee,” Florence said. “The gospel writers do take ar-tistic liberties and luke is drawing a picture — before Jesus gets to the cross, he has to pass through the borderlands.”

Jesus was raised never to go to the borderlands between galilee and Samaria. They are the borderlands that mark “us versus them.” But if Jesus wanted to get to Jerusalem on his way to the cross, he had to go through them.

it was a complicated place, and Florence said she did not know how the two groups mixed, but there must have been a lot of mistrust.

“This is why the good Samaritan story was such a shocker,” she said. “That story is found in luke 10, and you know that the disciples never get it right the first time. ‘This foreigner’ was a Samaritan, the one who saw he was healed and praised god with a loud voice. it is a strange detail, as if they would never expect a Samaritan to say thank you, or that a Samaritan cannot follow basic instructions, or, which is worse, to be a leper or a Samaritan?”

“This foreigner” is only used in this story in the new Testament, she said, but it is used frequently in the Hebrew Scriptures, especially with ruth, Hagar, Jethro and rahab, who were “foreigners” who show what faith and god’s

people should look like.“Jesus makes the words we use day to day stand out,”

Florence said. “We who yearn to follow Jesus could use a trip to the borderlands, the place where we were brought up and the place we are never to go.”

Jesus did not say to the Samaritan, “my faith made you well”; he said “your faith made you well.” Jesus might have told the Samaritan despite what path he might have been on, he met god, Florence said. instead of going to priests and declaring himself clean — the way the other nine did — he was truly healed and knew god should be praised.

“That is the gift of the borderlands,” Florence said. “We find such faith everywhere but especially there.”

The Rev. Bruce Archibald presided. Carl Badger, a retired teacher who began singing with the Chautauqua Choir in 1955 and the Motet Choir in 1978, read the Scripture. Jared Jacobsen, organist and worship coordinator, conducted the women of the Motet Choir. The choir sang “Fairest Lord Jesus,” with a setting by Carl Forsberg. The Dr. William N. Jackson Religious Initiative Fund and the John William Tyrell Endowment for Religion sup-port this week’s services.

This is a very familiar story, and in church and Sunday school we have learned to how important it is to say thank you to God. but even the most familiar texts can do backflips on you, and that has happened to me.”

Abuelaish calls for an end to hatred, increased educationJake ZuckermanStaff Writer

With fiery determination, a love for humanity at large and a simple message, Iz-zeldin Abuelaish delivered Monday’s Interfaith Lecture in the Hall of Philosophy ti-tled “Preserving the Middle East Through Philanthropic Initiatives.”

Abuelaish is the founder and president of Daughters for Life. After an Israeli tank shelled his home in the Gaza Strip and killed his three daughters, he created the foundation and became an ad-vocate for peace via empower-ing and educating women in the area to end the Israeli-Pal-estinian conflict.

“As a wounded, bereaved father who lost beloved children, I feel the suffer-ing from all human beings,” Abuelaish said. “And I am here to stop the bloodshed and to restore the lost for a better future for all built on equality and justice.”

The war between the two countries will never end be-cause a war can never be won, Abuelaish said.

“There is no victory in a war,” he said. “All are los-ers. A victory is not felt at the expense of innocent human beings. Is it a victory if ha-tred, animosity, bloodshed, pain and fear are increased? Is it a victory if it produces orphans, destruction and wounds souls?”

The only way to truly end the conflict, he said, is by coming to a mutual under-standing via education.

“Education is the stron-gest agent for progress, change and prosperity,” Abuelaish said. “Education is about creating a world of

justice and hope.”Abuelaish said that edu-

cation is needed especially among women in the area. Educating these women will not only positively affect them, but affect their off-spring as well due to their caregiving role in raising children, he said.

“Women are agents of change and nurturers of a future generation in their communities,” he said. “They symbolize the spirit, virtue and longevity of their nations. Education of girls

and women will generate a strong social return by breaking down psychologi-cal barriers and changing attitudes.”

The principles of nonvio-lence taught by Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. inform Abuelaish’s belief that hatred is not the answer. Despite the tragic loss of his daughters, he refuses to succumb to the temptation of hating Israel, as he sees it as counterproductive.

“Hatred is a poison, which damages the one who carries

it,” Abuelaish said. “It’s a fire that burns the one who is em-battled with it. I will never allow it to impact me in or-der to achieve and to commit what I said to my daughters.”

It is this love for his daugh-ters and denial of hatred that led Abuelaish to found the Daughters for Peace founda-tion. He hopes it will go inter-national within the next two years and that the organiza-tion remains open to women who have suffered and want an education, regardless of their nationality, race, ethnic-

ity or religion.Abuelaish closed with a

call to action for all to help bring stability to a region to make the world a safer place for coming generations. All people share this planet, he said, and turmoil anywhere is shared across all humanity. It’s everyone’s responsibility to do whatever they can to bring justice to all.

“We can come together to make the Middle East and the world the one we want,” he said. “A free, safe, secure, one for our future generations.”

REBECCA RAFFERTYGuest Critic

Political art is about training a criti-cal eye upon — and opening crucial discussion about — pedestaled institu-tions and systems that can be difficult to approach. “Politics in Art: From Warhol and rauschenberg to the Present Day,” the current show on view at Gallo Family Gallery in the strohl Art Center, features more than two dozen artworks by 17 art-ists, together tackling everything from wars abroad to social unrest at home, from the rise of the elite to the melting middle class, and from assassinations of leaders to police brutalizing the citizens they have sworn to protect.

visitors are primed for the show with “Chronicles of War/saints and Mar-tyrs,” a painting by Phyllis Plattner, on display in the entryway of the space. in this work, each vignette is separated by gilded framing and contains a scene of destruction or a vulnerable human form, prone and at the un-mercy of the violent, enforcement arm of a dominating force. iconic images of st. sebastian, Christ, the burning WtC towers, wounded sol-diers, and prisoners at Abu Ghraib are grouped as one collective portrait of po-litical assault on the human body. the center panel is a replica of “the third of May 1808” by Francisco Goya, which is seen as among the first great artworks to punch upward.

“i think that is one of the most radi-cal paintings ever painted,” says curator and vACi Artistic Director Don Kimes. “It was the first time in the history of the world that the depiction of war was not about glorification, but about criticism.” Goya’s work is famously sympathetic to the spanish resistance to Napoleon’s oc-cupying army.

the art in this show asks a lot of ques-tions, Kimes says. “But i think they’re re-ally important questions.”

immediately within the gallery space, Craig Norton’s “Martin luther King” confronts the viewer with an ugly piece of American history. the tense, collaged work features the calm Civil rights lead-er walking past a crowd of white adults and children, their faces contorted by the hate they spew. MlK is literally bigger than those who torment him, his seren-ity a protective mask — as it is the the only response acceptable to whites — for any turbulence he felt on the inside. this point is underscored by the presence of a cop who looks on, seemingly undis-turbed by the abusive crowd but ready to react to any uprising from the op-pressed, altogether completing a picture of prison in the open air.

today, the situation is as bad. Our climate of police brutality against black men, women, and children is met by the collective horror of some and the collec-

tive shrug of too many. Witnesses are idle, too apathetic or afraid to challenge the uniformed mob, even in the instanc-es where innocents are murdered. this particular problem is addressed in Bill Dunlap’s oil-on-canvas triptych, “Death of Eric Garner,” and his “Death of Wal-ter scott,” a single oil-on-canvas.

in each of the paintings, while the vic-tim is tackled or looked upon by relatively readable figures in uniforms, he himself is almost entirely reduced to a dark smear on the ground, the assault on the body complete to the point of near anonymity.

the exhibit complemented Chautau-qua’s week on “Art & Politics,” and at one point included an addition artwork, artist James sham’s life-size replica of an attack drone like those flown over Afghanistan, which was only displayed during that week. the 40-foot sculpture was attached to the roof of the art center, bringing a taste of terror to Chautauqua’s idyllic grounds.

inclusion of sham’s sculpture ac-knowledges the disturbing fact that the most drone strikes by far were conducted under President Obama’s tenure. this work balances the presence of William Dunlap’s celebratory portrait of Obama, “1st Among Equals for the 44th time,” created for the inauguration of the first

black president.“this is not the same man who came

into office, who is putting the drones out there,” Kimes says.

the two works together emphasize the importance to be critical even of our most promising leaders, and observant of the way they develop while operating within an oppressive system.

similarly, “untitled 2001,” a screen print by ligorano reese located near the entrance of the gallery is balanced by “line up,” located in a smaller room within the gallery, which Kimes has dubbed the “War and Peace” room. the former piece portrays George W. Bush in the moment that he was notified of the attack on the World trade Center. the unabashed shock that registers in his eyes makes for an almost-sympathetic portrayal of the man.

But the latter piece, by the same artist, condemns Dubya (and several other po-litical players) for his arguably criminal, warmongering role in post-9/11 interna-tional affairs, envisioning the group’s fate through a grid of mug shot-like portraits.

Kimes says that the exhibit has had an overwhelmingly positive response. “i think if i’d done this show 15 years ago, i’d have had people coming at me,” he says. that reception is a credit to Chau-

tauqua’s current community and audi-ence, of its willingness to be confronted with that which has no easy answer.

And these subjects can certainly be-wilder. robert rauschenberg’s “untitled” 1970 print is an anxious cloud of clip-pings, images and headlines drawn from newspapers of the day, reflecting and dis-tilling the heaviest of concerns, presented without comment or consolation.

three works selected from Carol Jacobsen’s “Conviction” series are en-larged arrest records of women arrest-ed for action — rosa Parks, Harriet (the original spy) tubman and Alice Paul — and a great reminder, as we criticize or applaud the Black lives Matter activ-ists, that revolution requires resistance. Movements are messy, must break de-corum and upset the status quo, which can be uncomfortable, but disruption is the very point. things only look tidy when summed up, comfortably, from across a safe span of time.

Her work has also appeared in Afterimage, Ceram-ics: Art & Perception, rochester insom-niac, and 12ozProphet.com. She keeps a blog at theiconoclassed.com.
