DESCRIPTION:Global Exchange, KPFA Radio 94.1 FM, and Cody’s Books present\n\nAn 
 Evening with Jim Hightower\n\n"If Will Rogers and Mother Jones had a baby, 
 Jim Hightower would be that rambunctious child -- mad as hell, with a sense 
 of humor." – Molly Ivins\n\nJim Hightower, the country's #1 populist, has 
 picked up some useful advice over the years, from\n"never eat at a café 
 featuring 'bargain kebobs'" to "never hit a man with glasses; hit him 
 with\nsomething much heavier." As he and his longtime co-conspirator Susan 
 DeMarco have rambled\nthrough grassroots America, however, they've also 
 come up with more serious words of wisdom to\nshare here, namely: question 
 authority, trust your values, seek alternatives, break away, stand up 
 for\nyour beliefs and swim against the current!\n\nSwim Against the 
 Current: Even a Dead Fish Can Go With the Flow introduces readers to people 
 across the country who have actually done this—people in business, 
 politics, health care, farming, religion, and other areas who are taking 
 charge, living their values, doing good, and doing well. Hightower and 
 DeMarco show how they are doing precisely what the elites want us to 
 believe can't be done: changing their lives and making a difference. In 
 this uplifting book, they tell the stories of these people and offer 
 inspiration and information that will help readers tap into their own 
 maverick\npotential in order to navigate a different, more satisfying 
 course of their own.\n\nWhether they are young and just starting out or 
 older and searching for a different path, the\ncommon-sense folks in Swim 
 Against the Current have escaped the corporate tentacles to find their own 
 way toward a richer life and a better American future. They are creating a 
 new, deeply democratic model for the country, edging it back onto the long 
 road toward egalitarianism and the common good.\n\nJim Hightower (Austin, 
 TX) is a syndicated columnist, national radio commentator, publisher of the 
 Hightower Lowdown newsletter, and the New York Times bestselling author of 
 “Thieves in High Places”.\n\nTickets: $12 advance, $15 door. Available
