TO THE BEST OF OUR KNOWLEDGE


PROMO FOR   7/12/2009    "There's No Place Like Home"
*Have you ever been to "Reloville"? Or maybe you live there. There's
more than one. You can find them in Atlanta, Dallas and Denver, among
other places. "Relovilles" are the sprawling subdivisions where mid-
level managers and executives live   for a few years before they uproot
their families and do it again. In this hour of To the Best of Our
Knowledge, we'll explore life inside America's new rootless professional
class. Also, film-maker Guy Maddin talks about his critically-acclaimed
documentary about his hometown, "My Winnipeg."

            Peter T. Kilborn reported for the New York Times for 30
            years. Now he's written a book called "Next Stop,
            Reloville: Life Inside America's New Rootless
            Professional Class."  He tells Steve Paulson about the
            mid-level managers and executives who move every few
            years, (sometimes enormous distances, or to foreign
            countries) to advance their careers. Also, Reverend Dr.
            Michael A. Schuler is the parish minister of the First
            Unitarian Society of Madison (Wisconsin) and author of
            "Making the Good Life Last: Four Keys to Sustainable
            Living."  He talks with Jim Fleming about the
            satisfactions of "Staying Put."

            Madden's award-winning film.
