Interviewing Vietnam veterans and peace activists Dr. Charles Clements and Asa Baber.
Mr. Brock, a recreational therapist, and Mr. Hollie, a nurse, discuss paraplegia. Each of the gentlemen discuss the individual accidents that caused their injuries, their recovery and how they got through it. They talk to Studs about the things they enjoy doing and goals they are trying to reach.
Discussing the book "Making Gay History: The Struggle For Gay and Lesbian Equal Rights, 1945-1990: An Oral History" (published by Harper Collins) with the author, journalist Eric Marcus.
After having flown 50 missions in Vietnam, Charles Clements went to medical school and became a physician and a human rights activist. Dr. Clements talks about his observations in the poorest sections of Nicaragua. Because medicine for the poor people was considered contraband, Clements had to resort to putting rusty nails into a cup of water and having his patients drink the water for iron supplements. Clements reminds the audience if we don't know our history, we are bound to repeat it.
