121	1999-01-29	Twentieth Century Man One thing that makes our country different from most others is this idea that you can re-create yourself as someone you'd prefer to be...sell everything off, head out west, start a new life. But what happens if you're too good at it? At throwing everything out and starting over?	00:59:00

He explains all the elaborate "rules of the game" among pimps and prostitutes of that era. He didn't have the stomach for the violence of pimping, and failed as a pimp because of that.

133	1999-06-25	Sales Consider for a moment all the art forms that began in America: jazz, the blues, musical theater, rock n' roll, phonograph recordings, television, motion pictures, video games. But the art form in which America leads the world—more than any other—is the art of selling. In this show: case examples to prove the point.	00:59:17
134	1999-07-09	We Didn't Stories about what happens when we don't do something. It turns out that not falling in love, not doing our jobs, not spending time with our families is every bit as vivid and complicated an experience as doing something.	00:59:18
135	1999-07-23	Allure of Crime We think of crime as a kind of monolithic, menacing presence. But there are many kinds of crimes and many kinds of criminals. Through our crimes, we express who we are. Today we hear of three different criminals and three different kinds of crimes.	00:59:03
136	1999-08-06	You Are Here Three stories, three people, and three sets of maps. Stories of people trying to figure out where they are in the world in the most literal and least literal ways possible. We explore what it's like to be lost—how we all struggle in that moment not to give ourselves over to fear but try to enjoy it.	00:59:17
137	1999-08-20	The Book That Changed Your Life Stories of people who believe a book changed their life. It's a romantic notion, and one reason we believe it is because we want to believe our lives can be changed by something so simple as an idea — or a set of ideas contained in a book.	00:59:20
138	1999-08-27	The Real Thing Stories of people drawn to some idea, some picture, some "thing" that they just want to be. How some people imitate this "thing" innocently, some less innocently, and how easy it is to slip from one to the other.	00:59:18
139	1999-09-03	Ghosts of Elections Past Stories of political idealists, stories designed to provide some small sense of hope about American politics. Most of these were first broadcast during the 1996 Presidential race.	00:59:19
140	1999-09-24	Family Business Stories of family businesses, and what happens when the tension of family dynamics collides with the pressure of capitalist market forces.	00:59:16
141	1999-10-01	Invisible Worlds Stories of people who are trying to make invisible worlds visible, and what happens when you make them visible.	00:59:23
142	1999-10-15	Barbara We hear the story of one African-American single mother. Barbara Clinkscales recorded her family's life over the course of seven months for This American Life. Her life defies—or makes irrelevant—most of our typical notions of inner-city, black single mothers.	00:59:19
143	1999-10-22	Sentencing We've all heard occasional news stories about how some of the drug laws enacted in the last 15 years may have gone too far. First time offenders get locked up for decades. Judges—even Republican appointees—say that mandatory minimum sentences prevent them from making fair rulings. But have sentences really gone too far?	00:59:17
144	1999-11-05	Where Words Fail One reason we tell stories is to explain things to ourselves that cannot, in the end, always be explained. When someone we're close to dies, we struggle for a way to get our minds around the fact of their absence. And often—the stories we invent aren't quite up to the job. In this week's show, people struggle to invent words adequate to cope with death.	00:59:20
145	1999-11-26	Poultry Slam 1999 For Thanksgiving, the time of year when poultry consumption is highest, it's our annual program about turkeys, chickens, fowl of all types, and their mysterious hold over our imaginations. This show includes favorite stories from previous Poultry Shows, and some new stories.	00:59:18
146	1999-12-10	Urban Nature Stories of nature creeping into man-made environments. Of nature sneaking in places where its very presence is a rebuke to the notion that we as a species have things under control.	00:59:19
147	1999-12-17	A Teenager's Guide to God Oh faithless and perverse generation? How long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you?—Matthew 17.	00:59:18
148	1999-12-24	The Angels Wanna Wear My Red Suit A special Christmas edition of our show, with stories about Santa Claus—the many many different versions of Santa Claus. It was in America, in New York, that people started believing in the modern idea of Santa—a guy who comes down the chimney with a sack of goodies. But America has invented a few other Santas as well.	00:59:18
