When I saw this on
Real Time with Bill Maher, I couldn't believe how beautifully it fits with
Crime and Punishment. The whole interview is interesting in a frightening sort of way, but the ideas expressed, especially around the 2:00 mark through about 6:00, may resonate with students. You could even end it sooner; Maher calls the Bible "a wicked book," which may not go over too well in more conservative settings...

I'm sure excerpts from Jeff Sharlet's book
The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power would work, too. By the way, if anyone else is teaching
C & P, especially for AP English Literature, I would appreciate any discussion ideas you would be willing to share!
