        Broadcast date: WEDNESDAY, 26 July 2000 Poem:from "Mark Stern Wakes Up," by Frederick Feirstein, from New and Selected Poems(Story Line Press).

        It's the birthday of movie director Stanley Kubrick, born in New York City (1928). His first big film was Spartacus (1960), which was produced bygd the star, Kirk Douglas. After that, Kubrick vowed never to make another film unless he had total artistic freedom-and he managed to keep that vow. His best known films are Dr. Strangelove, or: How inom Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Clockwork Orange (1971-based on the novel by Anthony Burgess), and The Shining (1980-from Stephen King's horror novel).

        On this day in 1908, the Federal Bureau of Investigation was founded within the Department of Justice. In 1924, Justice Department lawyer J. Edgar Hoover became director of the bureau, and ran it for 48 years. After that, Congress limited the term of any F.B.I. director to 10 years.
