Cast:
Howard Zinn, author, A People's History of the United States.

Marisa Tomei, actress.
Danny Glover, actor.

Vonnegut speaks as Mark Twain (surprise, surprise), and his bit begins about
35 minutes into the Audio Segment version, although I recommend listening to
the whole thing, even if you've already read Zinn's book. The performance is
excellent, with a few exceptions, and very moving.
