Court Cases Involving Perjury
Perjury is defined as the “act of intentionally lying or telling an untruth whether verbally or in writing while under oath in an official proceeding.” According to legal documents, the courts look seriously at instances of perjury because perjury usurps the power of the court system. By definition and usage, perjury applies only to statements of facts, not opinions. This presentation will focus on cases of perjury in the United States with the objective of determining if the results of the trials would be the same today. From Alger Hiss to Mark Furhman to Bernie Madoff, Lewis “Scooter” Libby and others, the charges of perjury and the resulting trials have had consequences in American history.

FDR's Other Woman
The Life of Lucy Page Mercer Rutherfurd
Lucy Page Mercer, as an employee of the Roosevelts, caught the eye of Franklin, resulting in a deceptive life-long romance that captured the interest of the American public once it was revealed. As a young secretary to Eleanor and later as a wife and mother in her own marriage, Lucy continued to have contact with FDR even though he had promised Eleanor he
would never see or correspond with Lucy again. Respected by the press, this romance was not publicly revealed until after Franklin’s demise. In this one-woman presentation, Myrna Goldberger will portray Lucy using costume and imagery to enhance the self-written script. The question remains: Did Eleanor become what she became because of Franklin’s infidelity or in spite of it?
