Description

This is a brief recording of one of Molly Ivins' radio commentaries that she used to do on Morning Edition in the 1980's. In this particular recording, she is discussing the Tug of War that happened across the Colorado River in Austin in 1987. This tug of war was literally between two different cultural sides of Austin: the wealthy yuppies in the north and the old hippies and "bubbas" in the south.
