1968: How We Got Here 2018 has been a remarkable year for political, cultural, and technological upheaval. But where were we 50 years ago? NPR is taking the time to reflect on what was going on in the world half a century ago. “1968: How We Got Here” is a year-long series which looks back at 1968, a defining year for turmoil and progress on civil rights, politics, technology, and much more.
Clarence Mitchell and President Lyndon B. Johnson
The impact of 1968 is felt broadly today. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert Kennedy were assassinated, and President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act. It was also a year of firsts: 1968 saw the first manned Apollo space mission and the debut of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood on PBS. The first Big Mac was sold by McDonald’s for 49 cents; the emergency 911 line was set up for the first time; Tommie Smith and John Carlos took a stand and raised their fists in a monumental salute at the 1968 Summer Olympics; and Star Trek aired the first intergalactic and interracial on-screen kiss. All this, while the U.S. was embroiled in an unpopular and graphically televised Vietnam War. As part of the project, NPR is now airing retrospective stories across its newsmagazines on topics that help explain how we got where we are today. The stories are archived on NPR’s website, and you can also follow @TodayIn1968 on Twitter for a live-updated feed of 1968 events as if they were happening in the current day.

Jazz Notes As summer draws to an end, jazz activity in the WFIU listening area starts to pick up, and our Monday-through-Thursday afternoon program Just You and Me is the place to hear about it. This month we’ll talk with pianist Craig Brenner about the fourth annual Bloomington Boogies festival that has become an increasinglypopular showcase for boogie-woogie players of international renown, and we’ll also offer a preview of the annual B’town Jazzfest. As always, lots of new and classic jazz will be featured, in addition to live and local recordings and your jazz requests every Wednesday.
Craig Brenner
WFIU’s jazz-specialty programs Afterglow and Night Lights celebrate two notable centennials this month. On Friday, August 3 at 8 p.m., Afterglow host Mark Chilla presents an overview of jazz impresario Norman Granz, who played a key role in the careers of Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, and others. Night Lights’ David Brent Johnson follows at 9 with “Norman Granz’s Jazz Scene,” a look at the promoter’s 1950 multi-disc jazz anthology which showcased artists such as Charlie Parker and Bud Powell and helped launch the box-set concept. On August 24, both programs pay tribute to composer Leonard Bernstein, with Afterglow exploring standards penned by Bernstein, while Night Lights delves into his artistic relationship with jazz. Afterglow also shines a spotlight this month on pianist Jimmy Rowles (described by Chilla as “jazz’s secret weapon”) and songwriter Alan Jay Lerner, as well as “blue” songs that are not actually blue. Night Lights will timetravel to the year of 1964, talk with writer Sam Stephenson about the jazz-fan photographer W. Eugene Smith, and take a look at the early years of trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. More new and classic jazz coming your way in September…stay tuned! August 2018 / Page 3

Receive an Income For Life and Save on Taxes The idea of a charitable gift annuity is nothing new, but its benefits will never grow old. In America, the concept dates back to 1843, when a Boston merchant donated money to the American Bible Society in exchange for a flow of payments. Today a charitable gift annuity can offer tax benefits. But perhaps more valuable than the financial advantages is the satisfaction of helping continue the mission and good works of an organization such as WFIU. When you create a charitable gift annuity, your donation is divided into two parts: an amount attributable to the charitable gift portion and the amount attributable to your annuity payments. If you itemize deductions on your tax return, savings from the federal income tax charitable deduction of the gift portion reduce your gift’s net cost.

The program follows Cummins’ early life and how he appeared destined to become an innovator. Even from a young age, he demonstrated an innate understanding of mechanics, building his own steam engine when he was 11. Despite having no formal education beyond the 8th grade, the documentary reveals that he became a successful inventor because he persevered in spite of failures and also had an inexhaustible sense of wonder.
Cummins Engine Company in 1919 with William G. Irwin. The program details how Cummins’ innovative vision and commitment to quality and reliability continue to be part of the company’s core values today.

If you fund your annuity with appreciated property rather than cash, you benefit even more because you are not responsible for the capital gains tax at the time of your gift. Instead, a portion of your payments will be taxed as capital gain (provided that you are the primary annuitant and the annuity interest is assignable only to the charity). Based on life expectancy, older annuitants have higher annuity rates. Rates also vary according to the number of annuitants, with rates for two-life contracts often lower because of the extended period of time that payments will likely be made.
CASE STUDY: Linda, 75, plans to donate a maturing $25,000 certificate of deposit to WFIU at Indiana University. Because she needs continuing income, she decides to give the cash in exchange for a one-life charitable gift annuity that we will issue at the suggested rate of 6.2 percent, or $1,550 per year.
As Linda itemizes her tax deductions, she earns a federal income tax charitable deduction of $11,423 (the amount of the $25,000 donation attributable to the gift portion). With a tax bracket of 32 percent, the tax savings of $3,655 reduces the net cost of her gift to $21,345.
