Sixty four years ago, an organized mob of more than 10,000 white men and women dragged CAMERON and two other black teenage men from a jail cell in Marion, Indiana. The mob mercilessly beat the three young men. They lynched two. CAMERON was spared. In 1984, he recounted this experience in his memoir "A Time of Terror" (Available now from Black Classic Press). Then in 1988, CAMERON founded the Black Holocaust Museum in Milwaukee. The Museum houses photographs, books, articles and artifacts documenting the atrocities endured by blacks in this country. CAMERON modeled the Museum after the Jewish Holocaust museum in Israel. (THE INTERVIEW WITH JAMES CAMERON WILL CONTINUE INTO THE SECOND HALF OF THE SHOW.) (Rebroadcast from 3

Their hit Broadway show was a mix of rock and roll, insults, self-injury and baffling illusions. When David Letterman invited Penn and Teller to "Late Night," the pair made hundreds of hissing cockroaches appear on Dave's desk. On "Saturday Night Live," they seemingly cut a live snake in half. Their home video and book were both titled "Penn and Teller's Cruel Tricks for Dear Friends"; their latest book is "Penn & Teller: How To Play With Your Food" (Random House).
