While the political implications (not to mention the wisdom) of public sex have been fodder for debate within the lesbigay community for years, Britain's unequal age of consent laws and the penalties already enacted against some gay men there beg the question, "does the punishment fit the crime?" DAVID COOK [from BBC Radio 5 Live's "Out This Week"] reports from London ........... 5:30 SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by "comic actress" Charles Pierce (as Eleanor Roosevelt) [:20] + "THE LUSH LIFE OF BILLY STRAYHORN" is examined in a recently-published biography of one of American music's least-known but most accomplished arrangers/composers. The legendary Duke Ellington called Strayhorn his musical "companion", but Strayhorn chose to be privately (but quite openly) gay to the fame and fortune a higher public profile could have provided. SIMEON PILLAGE talks with "Strayhorn" biographer DAVID HAJDU, and producer ROY HURST [KPFK-FM/Los Angeles] mixes in some musical examples of the Ellington/Strayhorn collaboration ............ 10:30 CLOSING CREDITS/CONTINUITY ........................................................ 1:10 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME ........................................................................ 29:00 ----------------------Please note------------------------ Anyone with questions, suggestions, or NEWS stories is encouraged to email "T.W.O."
