SEGMENT #2 -  Billboard for `79 MOW/Pt 1 [:10]  +  In the conclusion of JON
BEAUPRE's 3-part conversation with Edmund White about his latest
autobiographically-inspired novel "The Farewell Symphony", the prolific
author analyzes the viability of so-called "AIDS literature" as a specific
genre, talks about the impact of the disease on his life and work, weighs in
on the current "anti-sex" debate, and discusses his future plans (opening &
closing music from the last movement of Haydn's "Farewell Symphony", with
SAMUEL LITKOV conducting the BALTIC CHAMBER ORCHESTRA) [8:50]
.................................  9:00

SEGMENT #3 -  TWO I.D. by self-identified "feminist pornographer" Susie
Bright [:10]  +  Since the first National March On Washington For Lesbian &
Gay Rights in 1979, October has been a month of milestones for the lesbian
and gay movement, which is why, for the last four years, October has been
recognized as Gay & Lesbian History Month.  This year`s theme is "Charting
The Future, Reclaiming The Past".  In recognition of this celebration, This
Way Out digs into our archives to reclaim a part of that past: a special
2-part audio remembrance of that first national demonstration.  This week's
Part 1 recalls how the march began as the dream of a few activists scattered
around the country, while many maintained that it shouldn't -- or couldn't --
be done.  The debate culminated at a national conference in February 1979 in P
hiladelphia that forever changed how the gay and lesbian future would be
charted (closing music: "We Shall Go Forth" by MARGIE ADAM) (segment
concludes with a brief promo/tease for next week's Part 2) [7:05]
