Report to the Listener
Valerie van Isler, General Manager
" PEACE IS MORE THAN THE ABSENCE OF
WAR... IT'S THE PRESENCE OF JUSTICE."
As we move farther into this "post-cold war" world, many
people are stunned by the explosion of hot wars and civil con-
flicts everywhere from Angola and Azerbaijian, to Bosnia and
Somalia and the profound problems facing the Haitian people.
Where are the policies and plans from the White House which
were to bring peace with a greater commitment to justice? At
WBAI, we are asking the critical questions — what about foreign
policy, the national economy and the global new thinking which
were promised by the Clinton Administration? Who is really in
control and why?
During our JULY SUMMER FUND, we will be broadcasting an
entire week of exciting programs on these issues featuring
Michael Parenti, Michio Kaku, the Generation to Generation pro-
gram on the Rosenbergs and Leonard Peltier and many other
specials. This series will begin on Monday July 26 and conclude
on Friday, July 30. For the last three years, we have done a
Summer Fund, but this year it is even more important. For many
community stations, this has been a very tough period with
increasing costs for just the basic services to keep us on the air.
Our spring membership drive did not make the necessary goal
and we have a deficit of over $80,000 to make up during this
period. WBAI needs to have the resources to continue our tradi-
tion of service and commitment to programming excellence
which our communities require and deserve. But, we can only
do this with the increased support of our listeners and members
during this mini-drive. So please stay with us and please stay
tuned for a summer of special programs. We need to be as
strong as possible to meet the challenges ahead.
PACIFICA FIGHTS BACK!
Over the past few months, the attacks on public/community
media and Pacifica Radio especially, have been intensified by
right-wing forces led by Robert Dole, Republican senator and
CPB board member Vic Gold among others. This same conserva-
tive axis has also consistently attacked Fairness and Accuracy in
Reporting — FAIR — which is one of the best media watchdogs in
the country. They have broadcast a weekly program on WBAI for
over 4 years. "South Africa Now," the only program on that
region carried by PBS stations nationwide, was also targeted
along with others. The Pacifica Foundation has begun a FIGHT
BACK CAMPAIGN to respond to these well-organized and highly
charged assaults on Pacifica community stations and other alter-
native media. Starting this summer and into the fall, you will
hear special programs on the issues and our work to build coali-
tions with other groups to meet and master this challenge from
the right. There is a great deal at stake here for everyone: for
community radio which is one of the last access points left in
this country for the necessary examination of real community
concerns and views; for the survival and future of alternative
media organizations; for the honest probing of controversial
issues to help illuminate them; and for the protection of all our
first amendment rights. Please join us in this Fight Back Against
the Right to protect and defend Pacifica community radio and a
progressive agenda for peace and for justice in this country.
Finally, Andrew Phillips resigned as program director at the
end of June after more than three years at the station. He is
going on to other independent media work. His concern and
dedication to strong production and programming principles and
to this job was and is appreciated and we wish him well in his
future work. We have already begun a national search and
Samori Marksman will serve as the acting program director dur-
ing the coming months.

A SHORT
HISTORY OF
WOMEN'S
PR06RAMMIN6
AT WBAI
Judy Pasternak
Judy Pasternak was head of the Women's
Department at WBAI (twice), was Managing
Editor of The Guardian, and is author of
several books.
There's always been a tension
between the notion that women
and people of color should have
some kind of equality on the air (that they
would be better represented than in main-
stream culture) and the idea that special-
ized programs (directed to and created
by) a particular group are often narrow
and alienating to the larger audience. The
aim and hope was a near magical integra-
tion, facilitated by everybody's goodwill.
In that context, there were periods when
programming by and about women, les-
bians, and gay men were more frequent
on air and other periods when these voic-
es were heard less often. Back in the early
'70s, there were a series of women
producers, including Nanette Rainone and
Liza Cowan, who produced early lesbian
programming.
In 1976, when I got to WBAI, Nanette
and Liza were gone. Viv Sutherland pro-
duced shows devoted to Women's Studies,
and Deloris Costello produced radio
devoted to Afro-American issues. We
made a concerted attempt to get a lesbian
feminist program, and the late Paula Kane
and I were invited to do a lesbian pro-
gram. The Lesbian Radio Spectacular, with
a cast of millions. In 1977, new manage-
ment at WBAI tried to bring more people
of color onto the air, an appropriate and
vital mission, but the means Pablo
Guzman chose were brutal enough to
cause the 1977 staff rebellion. He chal-
lenged the control of Afro-American pro-
gramming by Costello and other existing
programmers, a change he believed was
required to get more programming by
people of color. Unfortunately, this result-
ed in a void when the station returned to
the air, and the Afro-American program-
ming required rebuilding virtually from
scratch. The rebelling staff fought for the
creation of a women's depanment and to
Mimi Rosenberg, host of Building Bridges:
Your Community Labor Report
Thursday nights at 7:30
keep Deloris. They won the first, produc-
ing a women's department that lasted
through the mid-'80s.
The aim was twofold: to keep a block of
feminist programming on the air, and to
get more women on the air in general. In
the end, keeping the programming going
was all the department could do. They
produced 20 hours per week of feminist
programming, but had little success pro-
moting other women on the air When the
department was eliminated in 1985,
women were reduced to generally fewer
than 25% of the programmers.
In my humble opinion, the problem was
the momentum of the status quo, which
tends to perpetuate itself unless stopped.
In radio as in any area, the status quo
looks normal, and people objecting to
their exclusion risk dismissal as shrill and
uncomradely At WBAI, like elsewhere,
there is an old boy network that tends to
perpetuate itself In radio specifically, its
technological nature favors those who
have access to technology, generally white
men.
Affirmative action interrupts the
momentum of the status quo. In the sev-
enteen years since 1976, WBAI has been
led primarily by male program directors,
313 who, despite an earnest desire to pro-
mote more programming by woman and
people of color, have not brought women
to the air. Changing that would have
required a concerted program of
Affirmative Action. The relatively few
cont'd on page 4
We all profess belief
in women's rights
and equality, but any
count by gender at
WBAI shows how
few women are on
the air or the payroll.
Andrew Phillips.
Program Director,
estimates only 20%
of our programming
is produced by
women. Paid staff is
also less than one
quarter women. The
ratio has changed lit-
tle, despite women
holding the position
of Station Manager in
the past and present.
This issue of Folio
looks at the problem,
and how to address
it, as well as celebrat-
ing the women of
WBAI.
I've used the oppor-
tunity as Interim
Folio Editor to bring
a new style for Folio,
partially inviting you,
our members, into
the debates and
struggles at the sta-
tion. As you can
imagine, using Folio
to discuss our prob-
lems and expose a
few warts is contro-
versial. You are our
members but also
our primary financial
support. I've argued,
convincing some,
that open acknowl-
edgement of some of
our failings will bind
members closer,
while others fear a
negative effect from
our self-criticism.

Reflections
from tl;e Last He^^^iof WBAFs Women's Department
by Sharon Griffiths
Sharon Griffiths is the producer and host of Heresy, a women's show usu-
ally heard middle Sundays of the month — not the first, not the last —
from Sam to 7am (except for the month of July, when she will be filling in
for Paul Gorman on Saturdays from 10:30am to noon). She was head of
the Women's Department ofWBAIfor a brief time until it was disbanded
in March of 1983. Here are some of her recollections of women's pro-
gramming at WBAI in the 1980s and how she thinks women's program-
ming could be revitalized in the 1 990s
As far back as the late 60s, Nanette Rainone did a show called
Womankind on WBAI, one of the first programs to discuss the
issues of the Women's Liberation movement and consciousness
raising. She is mentioned in many of the fundamental books on the
"second wave" of feminism in the 1970's. Eventually, women producers
at WBAI organized themselves into a bona fide department to bring
programming by, for and about women to the airwaves of New York
City
The head of the Women's Department was a paid staff member, and
she was responsible for advocating, through discussion with the
Program Director, a certain number of hours per week of airtime to be
set aside for women's programming (before the department was dis-
banded, this had shrunk to 3 1/2 hours per week). She helped women
producers develop programs from concept to final product and brought
new women into the station. She supported the "regular" producers in
their work — making sure they were aware of pre-emptions, gathering
and submitting their Folio copy, calling Department meetings so that
producers could meet one another, etc.. She was responsible for
requesting and coordinating large blocks of airtime for special women's
programming — this was back when the station was scheduling fre-
quent 12- and 24-hour fundraising specials. She was also the Executive
Producer of the weekly women's radio magazine, called (ever since I
can remember) The Velvet Sledgehammer.
There was a massive restructuring of departments and programming
in March of 1983. The Women's Department and the Gay Men's
Department were disbanded, and these producers became affiliated
with the Public Affairs Department. At the same time, the Drama and
Literature Department and the Music Department were merged to form
the Arts Department.
Is there a need for a Women's Department today? Yes — it would be
wonderful to have someone in a position to support women producers
and advocate for and help develop women's programming at WBAI;
someone to do outreach and bring women with programming ideas
into the station and give them the resources and training they need to
develop into producers — but I don't foresee it happening. The station
is not able to pay even a half-time salary, and the job requires about 20
daytime hours per week to do well.
There is, however, a definite need to hear more women's voices on
our airwaves, especially during the evenings and weekends when more
people are able to listen. Because there are no immediate plans to rein-
state the Women's Department, each woman at WBAI must act as
advocate for and nurturer of women's radio, and that's a tough road to
travel — tough, but not impossible.

broadcasts by women and people of color
do not reflect the region we serve. The
majority of the city is not white men; the
air should reflect that. Women remain a
pathetically small minority on the air at
WBAI.
Change would require recruitment of
women and people of color as new broad-
casters. We must offer training in every
area of programming, including produc-
tion skills. Proportionately few have had
the opportunity to learn the technical
craft and live broadcast skills required for
radio. Then, space in the schedule must
be cleared for the new people brought in.
Community radio is time consuming and
low paying, and most of our producers
are volunteers, a luxury rare for the less
privileged. All our efforts must be shaped
around the need of those we bring in.
With all the competition for the 168
hours a week of airtime, we need a princi-
ple that feminist, Latino, black & gay pro-
gramming belongs on our air. When
changes happen, people need protecting.
In the short period of the 1970s, I was
challenged about the quality of music
played by the women — and we responded
by questioning the voice quality of Bobby
Zimmerman (Dylan). Different criteria are
applied to people excluded, who must be
twice as good to be perceived as ade-
quate. Affirmative action would bring
some of the excluded into positions of
power and decision making. This changes
the evaluation of their peers' work.
If the airtime is no more than 25%
women, WBAI is failing as an alternative
in a profound respect. If collectively,
WBAI does not perceive its mission as
alternative radio, giving a voice to people
excluded in the mainstream, something is
very wrong.
VVe were comforted in the
sure J^nowledge that others
would carry on after us.
Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, 1953
I salute you with tears of love.
Leonard Peltier, 1993
The Rosenbergs and Leonard Peltier would not bow,
and insisted on truth, justice, and freedom with their
lives — despite brutal government attacks against
them. The Rosenbergs' resistance sparked a world-
wide movement that will not die. Leonard Peltier's
resistance is a unifying force that is inspiring a new
generation of Native American activists. He writes
from his prison cell, "All I can do is be patient, and
try to be worthy of my people's trust." They never
lost faith. And neither will we. The third Frederick
Douglas Award went to Youth UPrising, representing
the future. They work to educate young people —
and the adults they work with — about the history
and contributions that youth have made towards cre-
ating and achieving political and social change.
This event is a powerful reminder of how insistent
and steadfast is the struggle for justice. Like a drum-
beat, justice proclaims, "I am, I will be." We seek to
carry that beat forward to the next generation. June
18th was a remarkable evening at Town Hall, and
WBAI is very proud to bring it to our airwaves. We
thank the North Star Fund and the Rosenberg Fund
for Children, the sponsors of this event.

Senator Dole Attacks Pacijica Radio-Why?
David Salniker
Executive Director, Pacifica Foundation
Last month, I had the distinct displeasure of listen-
ing to Senator Robert Dole give the keynote
address at the Public Radio Conference in
Washington, D.C. Dole was a strange choice. The year
before, he had almost single-handedly held up autho-
rization of funds for public broadcasting in an effort to
amend the bill. He, and a few other Republican senators,
had insisted upon amendments requiring enforcement of
the "objectivity and balance" language in the Public
Broadcasting Act....language that had long been ruled
vague and unenforceable by the courts.
Dole began his address by insisting he was not an
enemy of public broadcasting. It was a myth, he said,
that he wanted a conservative network. But "others"
were unwilling to let go and let the "public in." This
was, after all, publicly funded broadcasting and the
"public" demands fair access (as if Dole truly stands for
access to broadcasting). And furthermore, there was a
station in Los Angeles (WBAI's sister station) KPFK that
was using public funds to "spread messages of hate."
Those grants needed to be scrutinized, he said.
I sat bolt upright. Pacifica, at a public conference of all
radio managers, was being accused of hate, anti-semi-
tism and racism.
How had the batde for "objectivity and balance"
become a private war on Pacifica? I knew all the details
... in fact, I had been living them for over a year, but I
had not seen this coming.
In April of 1992, in the face of Republican opposition,
public broadcasters made a deal with the Senate which
accepted amendments permitting review by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting of
"objectivity and balance." It was not a great deal. The
Board is virtually all Republican. And the complaints
regarding balance were "code talk" for greater
Republican access. The key complaints in the Senate had
nothing to do with Pacifica ... rather they were angry
over the assignment of Bill Moyers to the Republican
convention and angry over Nina Totenberg's disclosures
around the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings. It
was blatant political content that was sought.
In December, CPB's Board fashioned new policies on
"balance." Pacifica, along with People for the American
Way, organized a coalition of over 30 groups to petition
CPB to amend these proposed policies and eventually
many of the amendments were accepted. CPB would
review only national coverage (by all sources) of an
issue (not specific programs) and if an issue had not
been fully covered, it would provide additional funding
for balance. There would be no penalties and "balance"
within a specific program was not required. Local pro-
grams would be unaffected. Review by a politically
appointed Board is chilling enough, but the industry was
relieved. Only Pacifica threatened continued monitoring
and legal action.
This "balancing" amendment had been the brainchild
of David Horowitz, public broadcasting's most conserva-
tive and most vehement critic. He had been attacking
Pacifica for over a year for a program in Los Angeles
entitled Afrikan Mental Liberation Weekend. Now he
merged the agendas. He, along with CPB's Board mem-
ber Vic Gold (Spiro Agnew's former press secretary and
official biographer of President George Bush) sought
defunding of all Pacifica for airing AMLW
AMLW is part of Black History month at KPFK. In
1992, it featured speeches by Dn Martin Luther King,
Malcolm X, James Baldwin and many other famous
African Americans. It also included interviews with Prof.
Leonard Jeffries and Rev. Louis Farrakhan.
Horowitz and Gold contended that airing these
speeches consisted of spreading hate and warranted
defunding of all Pacifica. It did not matter that the pro-
gram did not receive CPB funds; that it was indepen-
dently produced; that there had been serious problems
with offensive remarks by the producer of the program
that led to disciplinary action and eventual termination.
And, lastly and most importantly, that Pacifica had
reviewed its internal policies prohibiting racist, sexist,
homophobic and anti-semitic material and tightened its
enforcement procedures. We are one of the few networks
in the country that specifically prohibits culturally offen-
sive material as part of our mission. None of this was
reported even though most of it occurred a year earlier.
Vic Gold and David Horowitz now took their com-
plaint directly to CPB's Board under the guise of "bal-
ance." We were asked for a copy of the tapes and
refused. This was not a national program.
CPB's Board acted promptly and correctly It deter-
mined that this program was not within the jurisdiction
of its policies. It was a local program subject to local
control.
But just as I thought the battle was over, in truth it has
just begun. Dole's speech was the major start of a new
campaign against Pacifica. Why? Clearly Senator Dole is
not staying up nights worried about KPFK or a terminat-
ed producer. Editorials have now appeared in the
National Review, CNN's Capital Gang, the Washington
Times and Post and every conservative byline in the
country. "Funding Pacifica is a hate crime" is the theme.
Good grief ..why the heavy artillery. It really is simple.
These are not fans of public broadcasting. Vic Gold
has now requested that all public broadcasting be
defunded. That was his agenda all along. CPB responded
simply and quickly to the demand for "balance" so a
new theme is needed and Pacifica is it. We are to
become to public broadcasting what Karen Finley
became to the National Endowment of the Arts.
We plan to fight back. Please listen in late July and
early August for our response to these attacks and more
than ever support our efforts to sustain Pacifica in one of
the most intense First Amendment battles of the last
decade. As one of Dole's aides put it later at the confer-
ence... "we tell farmers what to plant... why is public
broadcasting any different!"

Who Really Controls America?
Issues of Power and Powerlessness
Following nearly a quarter century of Republican Party rule, a new
Democratic president has taken office in Washington - amidst talk, and
high expectations of "change." But six months since taking office, and
even with a majority in both Houses of congress, the president finds
that he's unable to make even the slightest progress in getting support
for his own economic program ... his own national healthcare reform
plan ... his own plan to restructure the Defense department's expendi-
tures, and move toward a 'peacetime' oriented budget. He's been
forced to discard old and trusted friends and advisors, and compelled
to put in their place, seasoned, established policymakers and communi-
cations specialists who've been instrumental in serving and promoting
the programs of no less than 3 consecutive Republican administrations.
Amply qualified candidates recommended by the President himself for
a number of key positions have been rejected by "traditionalists" ... and
ultimately by the president himself.
In the areas of foreign policy and Intelligence matters, the new presi-
dent has retained, or recruited from a pool of crusty old veterans, advi-
sors who, for the most part, are advising him to stay the course on criti-
cal international matters. Military force - not diplomacy - remains the
principal means to be employed in attempting to redress international
conflicts. Or, as the new president himself put it, the United States -
along with the United Nations - "...must apply the militant use of force
to ensure the peace and security of the world" (sic)
Why is President Clinton unable to even begin the process of making
the changes many people thought they'd elected him to pursue? Why
are so many 'old hands' inside his administration Why are so many
of his top appointees associated only with a small number of narrow
think tanks and policymaking centers?
Who, or what are the sources of economic, political and social influ-
ences upon the presidency .... How much of this influence extends
beyond the shores of the U.S. What about the Intelligence communi-
ty',how much influence does it really have on this particular adminis-
tration? And what about the military. .could there be in this country
(as Gore Vidal and others have suggested) a military takeover?
These are some of the questions which will be addressed as part of
this 9 hour special from 2:00 pm - 11:00 pm. Produced by Samori
Marksman, Gerald Home, Malachy McCourt, Phyllis Bennis and others.

Should I say,
that it's because
when Joan

her father hid
her new guitar
from her?
Or because
artists like

overflow with

are still being
written about as
locking o sense

"Why women artists?" people still
ask. "Don't you find it limiting?"
How can I answer that question?
Should I say, that it's because when
Joan Armatrading was a little girl her
father hid her new guitar from her?
Or because Caron Wheeler (who's
second album "Beach of the War
Goddess" (something every music
lover should own) was once denied
songwriting credits and royalties by
her songwriting partner (male)?
Is it because as recently as two
years ago, five well-known women in
the music industry actually consid-
ered the question "When are women
overreacting?" using the example of
Nora Dunn refusing to appear on
Saturday Night Live at the same time
as Andrew Dice Clay?
Or because artists like PJ Harvey,
who write songs that overflow with
female anger, are still being written
about in national magazines like
"Entertainment Weekly" as lacking a
sense of humor?
Maybe it's because a drummer I
know recently told me she was con-
sidering quitting music since she fig-
ured no record company was ever
going to sign a rock band comprised
of women over the age of forty?
Or maybe it's because for every
year in which three or more female
VICKI STARR
artists release chart-
topping gold records,
some male critic at
some newspaper or
magazine declares it
"The Year of the
Women."
Then, again, maybe,
just maybe, it's the
simple fact that with-
out hearing a woman
singing, most listening
audiences (male and
female) still assume
that the music they're
enjoying is being per-
formed by men.
The bright side, of
course, is that in the five or so years
since "Ghosts in the Machine" has
been highlighting women in music on
WBAI, a lot has changed. Where
"women in music" once meant the
stereotypical girl-with-guitar, or the
sexy front singer for the male musi-
cians, today women are in hundreds
of rock and pop bands, playing every-
thing from violin to drums, bass to
synthesizers, lead guitar, rhythm gui-
tar, horns and more. Women have
become more prominent in rock, jazz,
rap, reggae, classical music and
rhythm and blues, and are even
beginning (albeit slowly) to become
recognized not only for their talents
as musicians but as writers and pro-
ducers as well. In some instances, as
is the case with "alternative" rock
(a.k.a. "college rock"), it's so common
to find women as band members that
it really has become a non-issue. On
a strictly musical level the doors to
equal access have begun to swing
wide open, and that makes it much
easier and a lot more fun to select
music for Ghosts in the Machine.
But there are still a lot of issues to
consider.
There was a time when it wasn't
unusual, during a Wednesday morn-
ing run through music made by
women, to receive at least one call
questioning the anger heard in some
of the music being played. At times
this was a reference to venomous
lyrics; other times it was a simple
reaction to music that was deemed
aesthetically abrasive. But the under-
lying implication was that women —
particularly feminists — should behave
in a certain way, and that anger was a
distinctly masculine concept.
Today, as we ride gratefully on
the heels of Anita Hill, Susan Faludi,
and even Murphy Brown — not to
mention Exene Cervenka, Millie
Jackson, Patti Smith and all the
foremothers of today's music
scene who refused to act like
ladies — few people dare to
question a woman's anger, or
her right to express it through
her art. But make no mistake:
There is still very little room
for angry women in the music
industry establishment. For
every Diamanda Galas, there
are at least a hundred Ice
Cubes. For every Sister Carol
there are dozens of Shabba
Ranks. And for every L7 there
are a thousand boy-rock
bands whose videos, if noth-
ing else, prove their disdain
for women.
The Riot Grrrls have carried
music a giant step in the right
direction by daring to chal-
lenge the daily assaults that
all women face: rape and
incest, job discrimination and
the demands of the fashion
industry to name a few. But
the material is still deemed
unacceptable for outlets like
MTy and a record company
would still rather play it safe by
signing a misogynist rock band
(which, after all, has proven prof-
itable in the record stores) than
take a chance with a woman who
chooses to bare her teeth rather
than her body.
Until this changes, we at "Ghosts
in the Machine" vow to continue
agitating, offering at least one
wrench to help dismantle the sys-
tem. Won't you join us in throwing
a few bricks: Tune in Wednesday
mornings, from 9:30 till noon. It's a
liberating experience and a hell of a
lot of fun.

Montego Joe, a legendary performer, will now host
Accent on Percussion every Friday, 9:30 AM-Noon.
Montego told Folio: I've liked radio since I came to America at the age
of twelve, and I resolved one day to do some myself. On radio, you
talk to people you can't
see, but you always get
some feedback that tells
how you're doing. It's
almost like acting, you
must believe in your
character. I did my first
show, Caribbean
Cavalcade, with Elaine
Henry, on WHBI. We had
to provide our own spon-
sors to stay on the air.
Later on, I came to
WBAI, where I didn't
need a sponsor-
although I will need sup-
port from you, the listen-
ers. I play drums, which
are featured in so many
cultures, so the show I do
is Accent on Percussion.
Drums go back to the
days of captivity; when
slaves were not allowed
drums, we drummed on
boxes, or even our hands
and legs. Focusing on
percussion allows me to
play every genre of
music. The movie 2001
used Strauss' classical
piece. Thus Spoke Zarathustra, with the great Ladn drummer Ray
Barretto leading the way. Some of my favorite music uses African
songs with a Latin beat. I've played with many of the great ones: Max
Roach, Elvin Jones, Tony Williams, Art Blakey. I played with Blakey on
his album African Beach, which also featured Curtis Fuller, Yusef
Lateef, Abdul Malik, Chief Bey, and many other great musicians. It's a
collector's item today. I haven't recorded as a leader in many years,
because the record companies are run by executives with the minds of
bean counters, who lack a love of the music. Of course I'd like to
record again, and I'm working with WBAI's Chet Jackson on a project
we have high hopes for. My favorite shows are with the musicians who
respect the instrument, like Don Elias, who's paid many dues. Harriet
Cole came on one day, discussing her book Jumping the Broom, which
suggests ways to bring African flavor to your wedding. The music
touches our lives so many ways, and we have such a strong multicul-
tural music community in New York, that I hope I can bring you great
shows for many years.

A True Story of Ben
Fra?iklin in London
A Fourth of July Special for Radio
T
Sexuality Educator $(in Locker:
(1 neuj voice at
V ]( thirty formidable young apprentices
shout abuse and hurl sticks and snow-
balls at six British soldiers. They call
them "bloody backs" and "lobster scoundrels,'
and dare them to fire. At last shots ring out.
The frightened crowd quickly disperses.
"Except," notes an observer, "three men who ^^^,- /^ocJ^er
lay dead on the spot and three others who lay
struggling for life." The town's alarm bell rings dolefully in the silence.
"Cut!" cries the director "One more time. Positions please."
The apprentices-in reality a group of UCLA theater students-gather
back around the studio mike. Two yards behind them, a half-dozen
sound effects technicians rake in more artificial slush (shaved ice and
corn flakes), and ready their snowballs (damp rags).
The large studio in West Hollywood where they are gathered is built
and used for "foley," that is,, for layering in sound effects for movies. A
theater-sized projection screen dominates one wall. But this evening,
the screen is blank. The assembly isn't making a movie, but a radio
play-
Specifically, they are recreating the Boston Massacre for Craven
Streiil, a dramatization of Benjamin Franklin's adventures in London
before the American Revolution. Starring George Grizzard and
Elizabeth Montgomery, Craven Street will air in five one-hour episodes
beginning 6:30PM Saturday July 3 and continuing for five weeks as a
feature on Joe Bevilacqua's Radio Theater.
"We're producing a program for listeners who like meat on the bones
of their entertainment," says Yuri Rasovsky, the Peabody Award-win-
ning Radio dramatist who is writing, producing and directing "Craven
Street." Raskovsky has made his living making radio plays for the last
20 years.
"It's wonderful to wrap your tongue around words like these,"
enthuses David Warner, who has played with the Royal Shakespeare
Company and appeared in such films as Tom Jones. In Hollywood you
can make plenty of money but, alas, opportunities like this are rare.
Set-up for the re-take is completed and Rasovsky return to his place
just behind the mike. He raises his arms and prepares to conduct the
players and "foley" artists like an orchestra. On the downbeat, the haz-
ing of the soldiers begins anew. Although the series begins with the
Boston Massacre and ends with "the shot heard round the world" at
Concord, it takes place almost entirely in London, where Franklin spent
15 years representing colonial interests before the British government.
During the entire time he lived on Craven Street, a block away from
the seat of government.
In a misguided attempt to preserve the union between Britain and
America, he secretly passed stolen, incriminating letters to Boston
patriots. This only inflamed the radicals and infuriated the govern-
ment. His role in the affair was secret. But when a duel arose out of the
business, Franklin publicly acknowledged his hand in it. Shortly there-
after, news hit London of the Boston Tea Parry. Inflamed, the govern-
ment determined to make an example of Franklin. He was publicly
humiliated and an attempt was begun to have him tried for treason.
Still, as hostilities grew imminent, he was lured into three separate sets
of secret peace talks.

Mary Ann Miller will be

and July 19 at 2:00 PM
First, let me say that
from Amy Goodman
through Valerie Van
Isler, WBAI Station
Manager and all of us
in between, the women
of WBAI do a fantastic
job! Although men out-
number women by a
ratio of 4-1, the quality
and scope of the pro-
gramming is excellent.
It is time, however, to
speak of a Women's
Department at WBAI.
March was a terrific
month here at the sta-
tion. On March 8th,
International Working
Women's Day, the
women of WBAI pro-
duced 18 hours of
broadcasting. Betsy
Lenke did a great job of
pulling that day togeth-
er, and has been instru-
mental in keeping the
idea of re- introducing
a women's department
here. Oh yes, there was
a women's department
at WBAI. Judy Paster-
nak was the first head
of it and Sharon
Griffiths, producer of
Heresy, was the last.
The third wave of femi-
nism is just around the
corner and WBAI
should be in the fore-
front of supporting and
nurturing program-
ming that will help
make this movement
grow and succeed. I
hope that the incoming
Program Director,
whomever that person
will be, will feel as
strongly and help in the
endeavor to recreate a
Women's Department
here at WBAI.

They like us
Raven,
I am forever grateful to you for the wis-
dom and strength you bring into my
home each Tuesday. You are truly a war-
rior walking point for those of us forced to
dwell upon the fringes of our nations and
our culture. You have allowed us to brush
up against our brothers and sisters a con-
tinent away, feeling an intimacy beyond
what that word means in this society.
You have given us music that after one
note we recognize with our hearts. You
have drawn the native community around
a single lodge fire, and in doing so,
allowed us to look upon the faces of each
other and see ourselves, outwitting those
who would have us cast aside all that
makes us relatives. You have become a
tormenter to the Nahullo who creeps
upon our circle seeking a weak link, per-
haps, hoping to hear a strategy, a battle-
plan, or to steal more of our culture to
place it upon their collection table, hold-
ing objects of this thing called "new age".
Your outspokenness can be likened to a
burr beneath a saddle blanket. It brings to
them much discomfort. But then, it is not
our covenant to make Nahullo feel com-
fortable within our mist.
Continue to speak out in reference to all
which affects our community. Damn those
who call your assertiveness, racism. The
mold of the noble savage has been broken
and our bitterness can be worn upon our
shoulders like a mantle. Continue to be
true to your name. You are Raven, and
you do your duty well. Keep clear the
roadside and fields of debris that block
the path to the red road sought by so
many of us. Know that you are appreciat-
ed, respected, loved and welcomed into
the homes of many who pull closer
together, when you light that lodge fire
each Tuesday evening.
With appreciation, respect and love,
Nashaha
Dear Andrew Phillips,
Hats off to you and the WBAI staff on
your fine efforts and dedication to
bringing your listeners the excellence of
your enlightening, informative, and at
times amusing programming.! am a rela-
tively new listener to WBAI. I first discov-
ered this exciting station in the late Spring
of 1992.

Before discovering WBAI, I would blind-
ly listen to a variety of the commercial
sponsored AM and FM stations-not realiz-
ing at the time that my mind was being
cleverly marinated with nonsense, propa-
ganda, non-truths, and commercial after
commercial for products whose parent
companies are responsible for this trash.
In the last 11 months or so, I firmly
believe that listening to WBAI has made
unquestionable changes in my life. I find
myself tuned to WBAI so often now, that it
seems as if the other stations I used to lis-
ten to don't come in nearly as clear as
they had in the past (therefore, my tuner
remains tuned to WBAI almost exclusively).
Sincerely, Louis G
Dear Andrew:
As a subscriber, I want to let you know
how much I appreciated the program-
ming on International Women's Day, espe-
cially Mary Ann Miller's panel on women
and the church and Dallas Calvin's con-
versation with Professor Andreas on
women in the Peruvian revolution. It was
exhilarating and challenging, and I'm very
glad 1 was able to hear it.
I hope that when appropriate situations
arise in the future, it will be possible to
hear more discussion from Ms. Miller and
the women who appeared with her.
Thanks to WBAI for this programming.
It's why I subscribe.
Sincerely,
Philip R
But they're not so happy
Dear Mr. Phillips:
I was appalled to hear that you are con-
sidering cancelling two women's arts
programs, G/iosts in the Machine and
Shocking Blue.
I am a faithful listener to both Victoria
Starr and Delphine Blue and would be dis-
appointed and angry to see either of those
shows leave the air. If you do make this
wrong decision, count me out of any
future WBAI fund raising efforts.
Sincerely,

Re: Complaint about WBAI's treatment of
"The Golden Age of Radio"
It is already bad enough that your sta-
tion had reduced the hours of this excel-
lent program last December. Now your
station keeps preempting it.
Since "The Golden Age of Radio" is the
only program I listen to on WBAI, I am as
mad as hell!
I am glad to be a financial supporter of
WBAI but I want my money's worth!!!
Beth F, Bronx
Dear Program Director:
Ihear through the grape vine that Lee
Ryan and Marie Becker's cabaret pro-
gram on Sunday evenings is about to be
removed from the air.
What a cultural shame this would be for
your audience. It's the only program cur-
rently on the air that devotes itself entire-
ly to the cabaret scene. We don't hear
many other programs about what is hap-
pening in the city.
The classical American Pop music is in
danger of becoming obsolete. We all have
a responsibility to keep this music alive.
Please Don't take Lee and Marie off the
air.
Thank you.
Dear WBAI
I don't know Richard B. Isles personally,
but I do know that he talks directly to
my soul. I happen to be around on Friday
mornings so I have the opportunity to
tune him in. Most of what I do in my
activist life is to deal with other people's
pain and suffering. I welcome that oppor-
tunity believing that 1 am blessed and do
the best I can and usually try to do the
"right thing." A cure for the stress and
pain that my work sometimes causes me is
the few hours on Friday mornings that I
can tune into the station and hear
Richard, his guests, and the beautiful jazz
that he plays.
Once I tried to tune in WBAI on my car
radio and I couldn't find it. I wondered
what would happen if WBAI went off the
air for good. Well, if Friday comes and
Richard B. Isles is not there to regenerate
our lives, those of us who need it, I will
feel that something very important has
been taken away.
Very truly yours,
Richard S, Long Island
Dear Ms. Valerie van Ister
On behalf of the entire jazz community,
let me say that the program hosted by
Richard B. Isles is an outstanding and
highly creative radio program, which is
enjoyed, respected, and supported by
musicians, producers, and jazz fans alike.
WBAI's long history of recognizing and
spotlightling performers in America's only
indigenous art form is appreciated and it
is the feeling of most of us that Musical
Expressions is the most distinguished jazz
offering at your station.
We urge that you continue this splendid
program.

Dear Mr. Philips
I listened to Richard B. Isles' announce-
ment today of WBAI's decision to cancel
Musical Expressions. It is distressing to find
that one more of New York's independent
stations is withdrawing its programming
commitment to Jazz. I find it interesting
that as WBGO is able to thrive with an all-
jazz format, probably due to its intelligent
and relentless approach to community
involvement, WBAI throws the ball entire-
ly in Mr. Isles' lap - sink or swim.

Dear Mr Phillips,
The last time I contributed to WBAI, you
immediately reduced my favorite show
from one hour to one half hour.
Lee Ryan's Only in New York. Is it true
that you're going to cut the show altogeth-
er? I'd say that would be a New York
crime. Lee is the voice of civilization in
this city He chooses songs you didn't real-
ize you were longing to hear until he
plays them. The perceptive words of critic
Marie Becker, the chatter of Joyce West,
the voice of Vermont, Patrick O'Connor-
are all warmly welcomed in our house
every Sunday at 6:30.

I want to state my feelings on the way
you are handling "The Golden Age of
Radio" program. Since you have moved it
to an earlier hour, you have shortened it
and preempt it whenever you feel you
have some spectacular program tp broad-
cast. You may not be aware of it, but there
are many of us who enjoy "Golden Age."
It is strange that when you are begging for
contributions, you can find rwo hours for
Max's show. If the program is so unimpor-
tant, why do you extend it at those times?
Perhaps you should put the program
back at a later hour and give it the two
hours it deserves.
