He lived during the 19th, one of America's most turbulent centuries, scarred by the bloody Civil War, but his lyrical "Leaves of Grass", for which he is best known, is timeless. In "Singing and Celebrating", "This Way Out" correspondent HUGH YOUNG -- aided by some of the music Whitman loved best and the descriptive words of Oscar Wilde and U.S. President Chester A. Arthur's grandson, among others -- examines the considerable evidence that Walt Whitman would today identify as a proudly gay man. . . . . . . . . . . . 13:30 SEGMENT #4 - "TWO" Email Lists Promo. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :45 Closing Credits/continuity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:35 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:50 ===================================== * =============================== STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT", "SINGING AND CELEBRATING" THE GOOD GAY LIFE OF AMERICA'S "GOOD GRAY POET" WALT WHITMAN...
