Every day emails and email forwards I often would like to share with my friends and family come from Edward. I don’t always get to them in a timely way.  Edward sent one on  January 31 about a great show on finances on Moyers & Company. I checked out the site today and found another one on the organizer Saul Alinsky. You can view the full episodes. Glad to see Bill Moyers is back.

I am asking Edward to become a regular contributor so he can post directly on 4comculture.com.  Hope he will come on board.
