Rosemary Barraco George, 80, is the third generation to run Vito & Nick’s, a Chicago pizza institution on the city’s south side. Known for their cracker-thin crust pizza, it’s called ‘tavern style’ because small square slices fit neatly on a bar napkin.

The moment when Vincent van Gogh looked into a mirror, held up a blade and cut into his own ear defines his turbulent life and art. But what did he really do on the night of December 23, 1888, in the town of Arles? What was his state of mind? No one has been clear on the details... until now. Bernadette Murphy, a researcher living in Provence, has uncovered definitive evidence.

---

Even those with a scant knowledge of art know about the moment when artist Vincent van Gogh cut into his ear. The deed was dramatized by Irving Stone in his best-selling novel “Lust for Life,” and portrayed vividly by Kirk Douglas in the 1956 film.

---

But did Stone get it right? What did van Gogh really do on the fateful night in southern France? Afterwards, there was a successful effort by his family to play down the event. His friend, artist Paul Gauguin, who was present, gave conflicting accounts. Still others tried to profit from his local infamy. Generations have theorized about what really happened, but until now, no one has unearthed the true details. [Originally aired in 2016]

What happens when America’s most fundamental values are put to the test?

---

In Breaking the Deadlock: How to Fix an Election, moderator Aaron Tang (UC Davis School of Law) guides a diverse group of influential voices through an unfolding hypothetical crisis they’ve never seen before. What begins as a localized infrastructure threat quickly escalates, spilling into a high-stakes national moment involving an upcoming election, voting rights, and questions of national security. As the scenario intensifies, panelists confront whether core democratic principles — voting power, free speech, and the right to protest — can withstand the pressure. Turning to the future, participants share their vision for the next 250 years of American democracy and seek something often in short supply: common ground.

---

This program was recorded live at The New York Historical, collecting birthday wishes for the USA as it prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday. Learn more at www.nyhistory.org
