FEATURED LISTINGS
Rachel Maddow Saturday at 7:30pm; Morris Dailey Auditorium, SJSU; $25
CHRIS CAIN
Political analyst Rachel Maddow serves as a much-needed corrective to the hysteria that Fox News traffics in. Her tart rejoinders to right-wing propaganda would surely have pleased John Steinbeck, which is why she makes a perfect recipient of the award named after the author of The Grapes of Wrath. The awards presentation includes an onstage conversation with Pat Thurston.
