Wednesday
Wednesday Wisdom, South Brunswick Public Library, 110 Kingston Ln, Monmouth Junction, 1:30 p.m.
For the third Wednesday of every month Wednesday Wisdom series, The SBPL is going to be showing some top rated documentary films - either stand alone or in series. Today, the final episode of the documentary originally aired on the History Channel and A&E titled "The 20th Century with Mike Wallace: Politics and Presidents" will be shown. This episode is "Washington Scandals: Sex, Money, Power." Throughout the ‘50s and ‘60s, the press confined its reporting to financial improprieties and influence peddling. But in the ‘70s, a bizarre incident involving a powerful congressman and a stripper flung open the door to politicians’ sex life, and an FBI sting revealed the extent of corruption in Congress.
