What's on TV? Tuesday, April 27, 1971

Tonight, Dick Cavett spends 90 minutes with John G. Neihardt, the poet lauriette of Nebraska, and author of Black Elk Speaks, his 1932 book about the Lakota medicine man of the same name. The book remains somewhat controversial to this day; if you want to read more about it, you can check the Wikipedia entry. But the idea of a late night host traveling to Omaha to spend his entire program talking to a poet-historian is, I suppose, even more unlikely than my example on Saturday of spending 90 minutes talking with Fred Astaire. Only Cavett could pull it off. This and more comes to you from the St. Louis edition.
