As with all the articles from Michael Goldfarb, Chapter 5 combines pathos and data. I relive the times and feel there must be a way that we can move forward in this ongoing discussion

I love the idea of a "vocal hug." Yup, that is what my ears hear with NPR. There was an article in Ramparts that, if memory serves, blamed the "founding mothers" on moving public radio's political voice to the center. Of course, you can't comfortably ask the well heeled to give money if you are not ALWAYS nice to them. I fully appreciate the forgetting of names but in your defense, something you already know, is that he was a Reverend, which was all a kid needed to know. The former archivist in me is horrified that a recorded interview would get lost at a radio station. I know that early video tape was often recorded over but audio tape? There is the often ugly word deaccession. (interview by intern who "lost control" of the interview) I'd like to hear his comments.
