What's Up, Doc?
The Lives and Careers of Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz
They are both television personalities, authors and
controversial performers who began their rise in
popular culture on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
Psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw and MD, MBA
specialist Mehmet Oz have become idolized
celebrities whose careers are marked by startling
advice, innovative strategies and fame that is not
confined to any one age grouping or gender. This
lecture will focus on the lives and careers of these two
men whose names have become household titles and
whose own names have won critical acclaim and
derision, including the statements “doing more
harm than good” and “giving advice that is both
simplistic and ineffective.” Included in the
presentation will be commentary to answer the
questions, “Why did these men achieve the success
they did?” and “Would they have had the same
results if it had not been for Oprah?”

Court Cases Involving Sex
Court cases intrigue the populace: they evoke even
more emotion when they focus on sex as a category of
classification. The objective of this presentation is to
analyze some court cases in this category in order to
assess the motivations for the crimes, the court
procedures and strategies and the results of each case.
For each situation, Myrna Goldberger will portray an
individual involved using costume and imagery.
From the case of Thomas Massie to the story of Alice
Crimmins, from the details surrounding the tale of
Daniel Sickles and his wife to the divorce proceedings
of Roxanne Pulitzer (called “the strumpet with the
trumpet”), these stories will provide students with
the opportunity to decide “How would I have voted
if I had been a member of the jury?” Would the
verdict have been the same today?
