DESCRIPTION:JOHN STAUBER -- talk & booksigning for "Banana Republicans: How the Right 
 Wing is Turning America Into a One-Party State"  - Tuesday, May 25, 7  pm  
 @ The Booksmith (1644 Haight Street in San Francisco)  The U.S. economy is 
 on the ropes, fear grips the nation, we are embroiled in two overseas 
 military quagmires, and for the first time in living memory, a single party 
 controls every major institution of the federal government - not to mention 
 the mass media. How did this come to pass? John Stauber discusses "Banana 
 Republicans," an analysis of how conservative forces are attempting to turn 
 America into a one-party state.   John Stauber is founder and director of 
 the Center for Media & Democracy. He and Sheldon Rampton write and edit the 
 quarterly "PR Watch: Public Interest Reporting on the PR/Public Affairs 
 Industry." They are the bestselling authors of "Weapons of Mass Deception," 
 "Toxic Sludge is Good for You!," and "Trust Us, We're Experts!" In 2001, 
 the National Council of Teachers of English gave Rampton and Stauber its 
 annual George Orwell Award for exposing the use of doublespeak in American 
 life.  Booksmith author events are free and located at our San Francisco
