Valerie Beach is the National Arm Wrestling Champion. She talks about her training and her dreams of bringing home a medal for the United States in the Olympics. She also wrestles her grandmother - and lets her win.

Filmed on location in Martha's Vineyard, "Jaws" not only spawned the summer blockbuster, but forever made people think twice about going in the water at the beach. We'll look at the impact "Jaws" had on movie-goers, the film industry and the posh island-resort that became the town of Amity. Laura's guests are Garen Daly, Film Reviewer and Commentator here on The Exchange, and Larry Benaquist, Director of Film Studies at Keene State College. We'll also hear from "Jaws" screenwriter Carl Gottlieb, author of "The Jaws Log", a book on the making of the film and Holly Martell-Bourbon, Senior Aquarist at the New England Aquarium.
