WOI: News Clip 382

one of the nice things about this job is that I get to judge some very very good contests and this being the National Pork cookout King contest as well as get some interesting ideas to pass on to you in this particular contest there are 10 gentlemen from different parts of the country that are participating and Don Daugherty is from South Dakota that's correct ma'am and what are you cooking I have a center loin stuffed with prunes and apples and cooked in wine and a cream sauce what do you serve with this actually the the dinner itself is this is quite basic it performs two things it's a delicious dinner and its an attractive dinner and I usually have a simple salad and maybe all greens now I doubt that there are ever any leftovers but if there are are they good ma'am I don't have any leftovers I've got six kids thank you very much [Joe Stebbie?] is from Wisconsin and what are you cooking I'm cooking a roast pork tenderloin with a honey mustard sauce it's honey butter and a little mustard about how long does it take to cook this oh about three hours and you have a problem with slow or fast heat does it have to be very steady it should be steady it should be steady and uh I selected a medium heat right now what do you serve with it usually baked potato and probably French style beans with butter little of these prepared onion rings and I am looking forward to the time that I get to taste it thank you very much and mr. Nash you have a variety of things here yes I do oh you are from Indiana and could you describe the various things that you are preparing well I am cooking pork chops spareribs and these are little livers wrapped in bacon they're kind of an hors d'oeuvre you know yeah how long does it take to cook the hors d'oeuvre about as long as it does a pork chop so this this gives something to nibble on though if you start early that's right that's right (inaudible) at home I put them on early and take them off and they have something to chew on Thank You mr. Nash from Indiana David [Aman?] is from North Carolina and those look like ham slices that's great center cut ham steaks and how do you prepare it well I have the center cut fresh ham steaks cut 1 inch thick and then I grilled them for about 20 to 25 minutes over a rather hot fire and then I make a sauce while they're grilling in a sauce pan over here and this cause consists of 1/2 cup of muscadine wine which is a wine grown and down in North Carolina and it has a half cup of currant jelly with it and 1 tablespoon full of prepared mustard and then I served the ham steaks with lettuce and crab apples and two real good dishes that go with this are potato salad and string beans sounds delicious how do you tell when the steaks are done well just by appearance really after you watch them they begin to brown on the outside and you have to just check to see how they're coming along with the cooking now are these pre cooked ham slices or not no this is fresh ham Vaughn Willer is from Missouri and is this a pork roast yes ma'am sure is what have you done special to it well the secret is the seasoning spices we use a fennel seed mixed with our spices which is an unusual spice that's used with pork roast normally it's used with the sausage link but it makes a very different and very unusual and very delightful taste in this loin roast now is this particularly good cold and sliced later yes ma'am you you can the idea behind it is for time saving and the fact that you pack all of the seasonings in the center of the roast before you put it on as she put it on and forget it relax and enjoy it then later by using it either hot or cold and you can use it for a hot meal or also for a buffet style which I've set up here today Larry Casey from Illinois is ready for us to of course taste and as you open that up what could you show us what do you have in there this is a seasoned bread dressing it's made out of dried breadcrumbs and seasoning celery salt onion salt some lawry seasoned salt bouillon chicken bouillon as the water in it put in fairly dry now about how long does it take to cook about 45 minutes I let them cook just a little bit longer today being talking to everybody that come by I let it cook just a little bit longer so wouldn't have to watch them so close but they'll cook in 45 minutes okay John Nagel is from Wichita Kansas and you're a bachelor but you have something than all the homemakers I think that have busy lives will be interested in right I'm cooking a hot a whopper burger today and it's made from sausage and I cook two patties of sausage and then in between it I've put either cheese and onion if you don't like onion you can leave it out but I prefer onion it's very cheap it's economical and it's just so simple to make and the kids really enjoy it how long does it take to grill it it takes about 15 to 20 minutes is all I cook it over a very slow fire because this sort of seals in the juiciness because pork has a tremendous flavor and I use a barbecue sauce on the outside and this helps add a little bit of moisture to it and we certainly like our meat moist when we eat it now I notice that you have them in the large one too because then actually if you have small children you can quarter them down and they could eat just exactly how much they want right in fact you can feed a family of four with a pound and a half of sausage in this manner Ed Farwell is from Illinois and you have a very nice dressing here yes I make that out of the tenderloin pork tenderloin and for the dressing I take and I cut the tenderloin up into small pieces and boil it and then I use this broth to make my moisture for my dressing and that's for the dressing on top of the butterfly pork chop on top of them mm-hmm I use it on top of them I cook my pork chop first and then after I have it cooked and I have the dressing already prepared to just so I can put it on top of it and then I set it on the stove with wrapped in aluminum foil and this way I finished cooking it that way and I put a little dab of butter on the top of it to make it extra good right now you have also a special sauce here yes barbecue sauce that we make up myself what are some of the ingredients in there some of the ingredients is green pepper onion mustard French's mustard yellow mustard and tomato paste and vinegar and a few others thank you we have oven meals for a long time but Robert wolf from Nebraska has prepared a grilled meal or I would call it a grill meal yes I have potatoes corn beets onions and pork chops now what special do you have with the pork chops well they're there's honey and thyme dried mustard and fruit juice mixed together and brushed onto the pork chop now how much difference was there in the time that you put on the vegetables on to cook compared to the chops about 35 minutes but the chops were on 35 minutes before no no after the vegetables were on first and you just wrapped them in the foil and seal them yes and now the bread the bread that's just garlic bread with some cheese on it warmed up just took the chops off of the grill and I just had one taste there very good could you tell me the way you cook them including the sauce the sauce is a cranberry raisin sauce using cranberry fruit juice cocktail and the dried raisins I put the the chops on the grill for 45 minutes on a low heat then I put the sauce on on just one side for the remaining 15-20 minutes this takes the salty taste out of these smoked pork chops and gives us the sweet taste and a real good pork it's so moist inside that's part of the cookery and the quality of meat and not just the sauce going all the way through no it is from cooking it very slow which is a necessity on pork otherwise you'll burn the outside and the inside to be raw and I might say John that you have a very very nice display here because you have corn on the cobs and potatoes thank you very much it's kind of hard to find corn this time of the year but we found some dr. Benjamin Spock recently participated in the Greek week program at Iowa State he had a rather hectic time in Iowa between making all the schedules throughout Iowa City I think wasn't it Grinnell Iowa City and finally Iowa State that was Drake great right and this is trying to do it in spite of the air controllers slowdown this is what's really made it exciting plus the fact that my office double-dated me having me speak in New York and in Iowa City the same night even without an air controller strike you can't do that now this leads me to something though that I we did not talk about prior to this how do you manage to meet such a rigid schedule and with enthusiasm you don't look tired or any of these things I'm terribly proud about this actually sometimes the executive director of the Civil Liberties Legal Defense Fund for whom I travel and speak and raise money sometimes comes with me and he's only 25 years of age and he keeps collapsing with exhaustion wanting to go home to bed and I keep going on and on and you know especially as you get older and older you're prouder and prouder to be thought of as spry well actually to be serious about it one is that I'm mostly speaking about the ending the war in Vietnam and the right to dissent which is a absolutely crucial subject that inspires me to go on and on then the other part and I think this is even more important is that young people think of me as their friend and they greet me enthusiastically and in the auditorium at Iowa State this huge beautiful auditorium was absolutely jammed right up to the rafters with students and they gave me a standing ovation I used to be just an ordinary professor in a medical school at Western Reserve Medical School until I was forced by age to retire two years ago I wasn't particularly popular there just an average professor the kids find out what you've got to say your limitations and your old stuff now I go from university to university only staying for one day they assume that I'm on their side their friend because I was indicted and convicted for for a while for a resistance to the war and so I get these glowing enthusiastic noisy responses and this is marvelous how many old people in retirement can get a standing ovation every night so this buoys me on and then after I've done it for a month then I suddenly realize I am a little wilted and then I go off and sail about in the Virgin Islands for a month this is a good life too it's just sort of a baked Alaska life rushing around being received enthusiastically getting up at six o'clock in the morning in order to get the plane out never getting through with the last meeting until 12 o'clock at night and then down in the Virgin Islands everything is quiet serene warm deep blue water snorkeling my wife and I talk very little we sleep a lot we snorkel two hours a day strangely silent a warm life compared to the noisy talky life now I want to know more about that but I also want to know more about your book and I question this is this at a time that you also write the book is when you're in this the setting of that quiet well I have to write whenever I can write and actually I do a lot of writing on planes strangely enough if I'm on a plane ride for more than an hour this is a good place to write because there's no distraction so you can't go and turn on the radio you can't go and look at the newspaper you can't go to the bathroom too often you can't sharpen pencils you know you can't distract yourself the laundry man doesn't come people don't telephone you you don't remember people that you have to telephone in the Virgin Islands I've written quite a lot though I'd much rather not and in May night cruise I mean in summer I cruise in Maine and I've written when I forced myself to I can write there too so I write any old time that I can write I think when you're keyed up and having to get an awful lot done you can be a lot more efficient and you can you can do surprising things whereas when you're in a relaxed state you don't accomplish so much you were identifying for me one of the surprises that's expressed by people at some of your writings that they really don't expect you to take some of the position that you do on obscenity right in this book decent and indecent which contains at least five themes that I think that are very important and obscenity would be one of the least important and yet that one has been seized on by more people people are not only surprised they're shocked they're morally shocked than an educated man who considers himself a liberal or a radical could be opposed to obscenity this is reactionary they think they just can't believe it it's indecent for me to be against obscenity well I think I always have to explain first of all I don't want to take away people's fun I like to look at girly magazines and I like to hear jokes if they're funny at all even though they're shady I think that the stage that we've gotten to in the United States is not an Emancipation simply from old-fashioned Puritanism or old-fashioned Victorianism I think that we're trying to destroy almost brutally all restraints let me put it this way that when in the show oh Calcutta I've seen it and I suppose I should go and see these things before I condemn them the stage is set at many times to be full of naked people going through motion suggestive of intercourse and other sexual activities to me that is not pleasurable and this is not emancipation and this is not sophistication I think this is saying let's brutalize the whole thing you see what I mean I think it's it is parallel with our brutalization in other directions our delight in violence in crime violence and Western violence are very high crime and delinquency rates I think that we're in this strange period historically where we seem to have the impulse to bring everything down clattering around us I think here's another example I read about a happening so called a couple of years ago in which two men come out on the stage with axes and they chop a grand piano to kindling wood and then a naked woman comes out and they plaster hair with cooked spaghetti which she then scrapes off herself and hurls in the faces of the audience that's watching I'd say this is not sophistication this is not emancipation this is the impulse to destroy all restraints well I would say civilization is made of restraints we happen to be living in a cultural period where people want less restraint and that's all right I think all civilizations have varied from more restraint to less restraint human affairs are always swinging in a pendulum way and this is not that surprising but I think people now have got the bit in their teeth and say no restraints I think they don't realize that that means no civilization and human beings if they don't have civilization they act worse than other animals other animals have their own limited pattern of behavior that's more or less dignified human beings have to be following some ideals and be restrained to some degree then they can behave in a in a dignified and in a creative way but if man throws this away and says I'm nothing but an animal and let's have it that way yeah I think he's horrible much worse behaved than any other animal is this a lack of a central theme of the worth of the individual yeah I think it's part of that because I think very definitely that man's lost his belief in himself and he's lost his own sense of dignity I think it goes all the way back to the discovery of evolution a hundred years ago man used to think before that that he was a very special creation of God that had nothing to do with other creatures that he was created in God's image and God had to special faith in him and I think this buoyed man up and was the framework for his view of himself and then when Darwin said you're related to other creatures in the first place I think man resisted believing that for a hundred years he's only gradually allowed himself to believe it and it's in the 1950s and 60s that he's finally said I guess I am an animal so let's not try to pretend anything else I think this is a misunderstanding myself because man is related to other animals but he's definitely different other animals don't write poetry or build Taj Mahals or write symphony music you know these these are the differences man in this sense has a soul and so I think you better recognize not only that he's potentially vicious but he's got to recognize that he's potentially noble and he's got to cultivate the noble and he's got to be proud of the fact that he's civilized not proud of the fact that he's destroying civilization and our guest has been dr. Benjamin Spock tomorrow the 12th annual Iowa rose festival opens in state center Iowa it does run tomorrow through Sunday and there are some special features this year we are going to have an opportunity to meet the 1970 Rose Festival queen candidates in a minute and the 1969 Queen but before we do that let's hear more about the festival from Jim Jerguson he's the parade co-chairman and I think we want to know a little bit before we even get into this year's activities as to how the festival started the flowers around us the garden Dorcas yes this started about in 1959 this was the brainchild the idea of a mrs. W A Norcross from Cedar Falls having visited state center and also being a member of the Iowa Rose Society it was decided and thought to be a good idea that we should have a town in state center named as the rose capital of Iowa and it was through the efforts of mrs. Norcross and the Iowa Rose Society that bestowed that title on state center and so this it started at that time now I assume that you are adding roses to it continually and perhaps to other parts of town oh yes and every year we have to replace some of the roses that don't make it through the winter and through the efforts of organizations here in town and individual efforts why I think the whole community takes pride in our Rose Garden and our roses and and I think this year probably has been hard on them at various times because some of the storms have not been the simplest thing but they have been worked on and well taken care of what else is involved with the in addition to just being able to see the flowers as far as the Rose Festival is concerned well we've got quite a quite a deal planned for us now starting tomorrow Saturday and Sunday tomorrow night we have the horse show out at the city park we have a team dance and we have a 2-bit review this is being put on by some teenagers from a high school in Cedar Rapids they were here last year and they put on a marvelous show just really great Saturday of course we've got the parade at 10:30 which I am co-chairman of and we're gonna have a real good time we've got some outstanding drum and bugle corps coming in from as far as Clinton and later that afternoon they're gonna put on an exhibition out at the local high school as to an exhibition drum and bugle corps contest now this is the first time you have had this isn't it yes this is kind of a result of putting together the parade and we find that it's somewhat difficult in the summertime in as much as high school bands are not shall we say functioning in the summertime uniforms are at the cleaners and the band director is on vacation so we find that a parade is outstanding if we can have marching units and so we solicited and we've got these drum and bugle corps that are gonna come in and help us make an outstanding parade along with other local drill teams and local efforts from the community as far as floats and bands and kids and gonna have a good time well now how many units are in that I think about nine aren't there we have approximately eight or nine drum and bugle corps and color guard units that belong to the Iowa uniformed groups Association now hopefully next year we can get perhaps twice as many of these units in here and hold an official sanctioned Iowa uniform groups drum and bugle corps contest along with our Rose Festival that would be real nice I hope so now going on to Saturday evening and the activities we will have a band concert Saturday evening we have a speaker in the Rose Garden Saturday afternoon after the parade we will have the coronation of the 1970 Rose Queen that Saturday afternoon as I said four o'clock we have the drum and bugle corps exhibition at eight o'clock we will have the Iowa string quartet which will perform at the st. Paul's Lutheran Church here in town this is a group of four gentlemen from I believe it's Iowa City and they have been on a world tour and it's something different we hope to offer something to everybody so the Iowa string quartet will be here on Saturday evening and then on Sunday it seems like these tractor pulls are beginning to be real exciting to people so the central Iowa JC's here in town will be putting on the tractor pull at one o'clock on Sunday so there's gonna be a little of everything for somebody right and we have just I think slightly going over a part of the things they're important because I think there's probably oh a carnival and if see that there's a square dance right some of these things and so they'll have to get the program when they come to get the rest right right now I'm wondering if we shouldn't go ahead and meet some of the girls but before we do just in case I don't get back it's very nice of you to invite us over and I hope that the parade goes well thank you very much thank you and the 1969 Rose Queen is Erin [Malley?] and she is from State Center and your reign is almost over yes it will be on Saturday and what have you been doing this last year I've been in four or five parades we had an unsuccessful attempt at one just Friday afternoon an unsuccessful attempt at dr. max and all kinds of things right now where do you go to school I go to Iowa State University in Ames mm-hmm and your parents mr. and mrs.
