Hi everyone! Thanks for your patience as I put this transcript together. It took much longer than I thought it would, so I’ll be starting earlier next time. These are the perils of trying new things!

Joe Eula was one of the greatest fashion illustrators of the twentieth century. In addition to his long career in illustration—starting in the mid-1940s—he was creative director for Halston from 1970 until the end of the decade (as I mentioned in this article Tuesday) as well as a costume designer for the ballet.

This is a weird time to be writing on religion and politics in America.  In the olden days, things were pretty simple. There were the traditional Christians who loved God and apple pie and, on the other side of the aisle, the progressives who talked about civil rights and pluralism.  Yes, there were a lot of people in between, but it was still a pretty straight horizontal line.
