A Weekday Program About
Science, the Humanities, and Our Survival
^
By Ginny Z. Berson
You have an extremely limited attention span. Any-
thing that can't be said in less than five minutes is
something that you don't want to hear. You're not in-
terested in the serious trealmenl of ideas, or in-depth
philosophical discussions.
HAT'S THE RULING CONVEN-
tional Wisdom of broadcasting.
"Make it short; make it snappy; re-
duce everything to the lowest com-
mon denominator." You sec it in the
30-second sound bite on TV; you hear
it on commercial radio, and more and
more on non -commercial radio.
There is, of course, some truth to
the notion that people want their in-
formation in short, easily digestible
pieces~we are after all, overwhelmed
with information, and in the Bay Area
we have over 70 radio stations to choose from-and
people do push those buttons.
Still, or maybe, because of this trend, we at KPFA
believe that there is a strong need for the long form,
for the careful consideration of sophisticated concepts.
And we believe that KPFA listeners want this kind of
programming.
Consequently, this month we are very please to de-
but a new program called Brainstorm, airing from
noon -1:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
The concept for Brainstorm developed out of a
series of discussions various staff members held
during the past nine months. We felt the need to ad-
dress a variety of issues that have received inconsistent
or insufficient time in our broadcast schedule. Specifi-
cally, we wanted to cover questions of science and
technology, environmentalism, education, urban sur-
vival, and the broad area of humanities--including his-
tory, spirituality, psychology and parapsychology, ar-
chitecture, philosophy, religion, anthropology, etc.
What tied all these broad concepts together, we
thought, was their focus on ideas. And so we put them
under the rubric oi Brainstorm. Each day of the week
will feature a different host, focussing on a dilferent
area of consideration.
We chose to broadcast this program at noon because
it is a time when many people arc able to listen' to ra-
dio, and it is a perfect opportunity lo present material
generally under-covered in our evening information
programs.
Some of the individual hosts and programs will be
on for a while, others are limited series. We want to
keep the program fresh and open to new ideas all the
time. Leading off on Mondays at noon is old friend
Denny Smithson, who covered everything on his Mon-
day Morning Show and will do the same on Brain-
storm--presenting live interviews with authors,
politicians, scientists, psychologists, ecologists, archi-
tects, etc. Each week he will also talk with geologist
Jim Berkland about earthquakes and earthquake predic-
tion. On Tuesdays, Joan Marler presents a series of
speeches and interviews on topics ranging from per-
sonal power to mythology to spirituality, through the
words of Deena Metzger, Joseph Campbell, Vivenne
Verdon-Roe and others. On Wednesdays, Phillipa
Lord, a producer new lo KPFA, offers a series on urban
survival, covering such issues as how the DMV can
ruin your life, the misconduct of Pacific Bell, why
grocery prices keep soaring, the misappropriation of
the cigarette tax, the checking account industry, the
mess at the Post Office, and the like.
On Thursdays, we begin the series with two
speeches by physicist Stephen Hawking on theories of
time and black holes. Then, on June 21st, wc proudly
begin an eight-week scries on The Communications
Revolution, produced by Bari Scott and Ralph Sieiner-
-a live statewide broadcast focusing on telecommuni-
cations technologies and issues of privacy, the infor-
mation explosion, the electronic classroom, etc. And
on Fridays, Sami Reist, from the San Francisco State
University School of Broadcast Communication, pre-
sents a series on philosophical questions facing the en-
vironmental movement, including the use of civil dis-
obedience, consumer awareness versus corporate re-
sponsibility, manipulating ecosystems to save them,
and more.
On Thursday, August 16. we'll be adding New Di-
mensions to the line-up. New Dimensions is well
known to many KPFA listeners. It aired here several
years ago, and we're delighted to welcome Michael and
Justine Toms back to our air. You can expect to hear
from the likes of UC Berkeley Professor of Religion
Houston Smith, noted author Maya Angelou, the
Dalai Lama, and many more.
We're very excited about Brainstorm. It is most
definitely a response to listener concerns expressed
over the past few years which asked us to broaden our
coverage of certain serious issues not getting suffi-
cient attention on our air. Asata Iman, who is also Di-
rector of Women's Programming, is Executive Pro-
ducer for the program. If you have ideas for scries or
individual programs, please let her know.
Meanwhile, tune it at Noon in June and let us know
what you think.*

KPFA.

Report
to the
Listener
Pat Scott is on vacation, traveling through Europe and the Middle East. In her ab-
sence, Ginny Z. Berson has been doing a fine job of filling in as manager. Our May
marathon, as of press time, has fallen some $30,000 short. We hope by its end we'll
have made our goal. Now we need your help. Please pay your pledges promptly. And
we want to thank everyone who subscribed or renewed during this marathon. If. by
the time you read this, we've met our goal, and if we receive a good return rale on the
pledges,there will be no more marathons until October.
Dick Bunce of the KPFA Capital Campaign files this report on the status of the
campaign, and how you can help:
One year after announcing our campaign to raise $1.65 million for a new building
of our own, we have raised just over 75% of our goal. We're now entering the last
phase of our fundraising, and need a fast finish to reach our target in time to begin
construction this September.
The plans for the new building have raised everyone's hopes at KPFA. The architec-
tural and engineering team has developed a building arrangement which has some-
thing special for every expressed interest, and which is at the same time within our
budget The new building will solve the legendary problems of our current facility,
providing for the first time everything from excellent sound production studios and
a live performance studio, to complete accessibility for all members of the commu-
nity — and heat and hot running water. KPFA's New Broadcast Facility will be an
exciting, creative place to produce distinguished community radio. ^
As soon as we raise an additional $375,000 (in 3-year pledges) we can break ground
and begin construction. Three year pledges begin at the rate of $1000 ($333 annually).
All donors of $1000 or more will have their names placed on an individual brick in
the reception area of the new facility. Why should you give?
•Because you sponsor KPFA, your generosity is essential to build this building. Put
your name on our walls forever - this is your station. And this is your only chance. Be
one of the people who builds community radio. You will always be proud you did.
•This is KPFA's big opportunity! We have outgrown the facilities we began with 41
years ago. This upgrade is long overdue.
•The station's ability to innovate, to develop finer independent community-based
programming is contingent upon this upgrade. This is a rare opportunity to perma-
nently advance the mission of the station.
•This once- in-a- life time project merits your consideration of a once-in-a-lifetime spe-
cial gift
Because we are running out of time, and are so close to our goal, we need something
extra from people who believe in a strong future for KPFA. Contact us if you can
help. For information about opportunities for giving to the Campaign, to receive a
copy of the Campaign booklet, to schedule a look at the site and architectural plans,
or to discuss a gift, please contact Associate Campaign Director Betsy York by writ-
ing The KPFA Capital Campaign, 2207 Shattuck, Berkeley 94704, or by calling (415)
547-8515 and leaving a message.
Finally, Brainstorm is the newest idea in innovative programming at KPFA. Please
listen in every weekday at noon and tell us what you think.

FAREWELL TO GINNY
Dear, very dear, valued, appreciated, even
treasured Ginny Z,
Forgive the hyperbolic mode of the saluta-
tion, but I want in some way to express my
thanks for the gift of the world and its fas-
cinating, evocative particulars you have
given us, your attentive friends (and de-
voted) over the years you have sat in the
CatBird seat. Kudos, accolades, bravissi-
maximostesi.
I left the Bay Area to do a doctorate at
SUNY Albany, and though my English De-
partment has a feminist grasp, the new age
hasn't gotten here yet, nor has Kris W., Jen-
nifer Stone, Mama O'Shea, Alan Watts.
Hearts of Space, and all the incroyable fabu-
losa other jazz that daily airs on KPFA. in a
large measure because of your office there:
wit, intelligence, compassion, receptivity,
courage, commitment, and other virtues too
numerous to mention, or of which I am
unaware, but which all need to be celebrated
and honored.
I owe a great part of my real education to
KPFA. The basis for a Jeffersonian democ-
racy resides in the people being both edu-
cated and informed, and I thank you with
heart, soul, and steady mind for all you have
done in making available lo us enlightened,
wise, transformative beings and visions of
the world. Helen Caldicoti. Dina Meizger.
Alexander Cockbum. How can I mention all
the people whose words (minds, hearts, vi-
sion) have illuminated the dark comers, who
have inspired, encouraged, amused, de-
lighted, thrilled, and provoked us into seri-
ous thought and responsive action.
We will miss you, hope for great joy and
fulfillment (and a really good salary so you
can have the flowers as well as the movies)
in your next endeavor.
Carla B. Steinberg/Canaan, New York
PROGRAM CHANGES
Dear Pat Scott:
I would like to recommend that, when
KPFA's programming department decides
to add or drop a program or make changes
in the on-air scheduling, an attempt be made
to include subscribers to KPFA/Pacifica in
that decision-making process. The present
methodology has a strong flavor of
"taxation without representation." A
scheme to implement involving subscribers
might be lo announce an impending pro-
posed change in tiic Folio with an admon-
ishment for subscribers to respond via mail
or phone by a "yea," "nay" or "other" with
comments. At least this proposed scheme
would be more democratic, if not consensual
(in the legal sense). I could see unforeseen
emergencies as cause for immediate and hur-
ried changes in scheduling, but these occa-
sion's would be minimal.
Donald Bierey/San Francisco
HEAVENLY MUSIC
Dear Hank Mooney and KPFA:
Excellent program tonight (April 12th) on
People Playing Music. Especially enjoyed
the last group. The Arabic music was en-
chanting agairxst the backdrop here of frogs
croaking in our Sierra spring, divine night
air dancing in the pines. Hurrah for KPFA!
Keep live heavenly music flowing! A thou-
sand blessings to Hank and the musicians.
We also love David Mayers' World Music
(his special last summer on chanting was
wonderful). Morning and Evening Read-
ings, Tony Moses' Reggae Experience.
Beedle Vm Bum. Jennifer Stone, Will
Noffke, Alan Watts, Jaime de Angulo. polit-
ical specials, news and many other fa-
vorites. Keep strong. You keep us in touch.

QUICKIES
Dear Folks: I hadn't planned to renew my
sponsorship because I'm moving to Oregon.
However, your coverage of the Nicaraguan
elections (in addition to your excellent re-
porting on Central America — and else-
where) showed me again that I can't not con-
tribute to your work. We hope to establish
a Nicaraguan sister city project in Oregon
as we did in Fairfax in '85. Your in-depth
and timely reporting on Nicaraguan issues
were invaluable to us in our efforts. Tim
Jeffries/Bend, Oregon
Dear KPFA: Your station is extremely
valuable. Thanks. Alan Siraco/Oakland
Dear KPFA: I'm sending you this check be-
cause it's such a relief to hear a station like
KPFA on the airwaves. Thanks for exist-
ing. Susan Rice/San Francisco
Dear KPFA: Please more information on
Palestinian cause in the Middle East.
Veronica Michael/San Francisco
Dear KPFA: Thanks to Chuy Varela who
makes an attempt to keep Puerto Rico and
its colonial status on the air whenever he can
(unlike other progressive news folks). Also
thanks to the folks producing shows on po-
litical prisoners in the U.S.A. This donation
goes for Third World programming — mu-
sic, news and special shows. Gloria Alon-
zo/San Francisco
Dear KPFA: I support your bluegrass and
folk programs. Cameron Parrett/Oakville
Dear KPFA: This donation is for women's
programming. La Onda Bajila, Ahora and
your News department, and for your wide-
reaching informative shows. Kate Colwell/
Berkeley
Dear KPFA: I am subscribing because I
support your very open minded and fair
coverage of the Middle East and you air the
Palestinian point of view. Keep up the
good work. Katiiy Kenny/San Franci.sco
KPFA: Thanks for being my company for
so many days. I hope you will continue to
prosper. I used to listen to just your talk
shows (e.g. recovery, women's issues, etc.)
now am enjoying your music programs.
Thanks to everyone, especially Kris
Welch's humor and all around mothering.
Zeva Longley/San Anselmo
Dear KPFA: Thanks especially for Mary
Berg's great Sunday A.M. presentations of
classical music. Please tell her she's great
and to keep up the fine offerings. Ruth
Aroyan/Bolinas
KPFA: I'm back to Bill-of-the-Month be-
cause I love Mary Tilson's show each month
when I get to hear it. It sure would be nice if
it were longer or later. It's a great show.
Also, your news department is the best and
women's programming superior. Marianne
Rooney/Oakland
Dear KPFA: This renewal is my support
for Maximum Rock n Roll. Kevin Lederer/
Windsor
Dear KPFA: You are the only voice that
speaks truthfully about our government.
Paul Miller/Piedmont
Dear Friends: We have increased our an-
nual contribution because of our great ap-
preciation of the following programs: Toby
Cole's programs on theatre and playwrights;
Larry Bcnsky's programs on current affairs;
Mary Berg's Sunday morning Bach music.
We would be grateful if you would com-
mend those talented people for us. R. Dean
Galloway & Zoia Horn/Oakland
MORE QUICKIES
Dear Friends at KPFA: I most enjoy the
classical music programs and the Alan Walts
talks. I experiment and dabble with many
other programs that I normally wouldn't run
into were it not so easy just to tune into
KPFA. and I've discovered many ideas,
artistic forms, etc. tliat I really enjoy. Thank
you for the great variety and balance of
programs that are unfortunately not avail-
able on other stations. Michel M. Sherman
/Pt. Reyes Station
Dear KPFA: I'm supporting you because
you are so fiercely independent and willing
to present both sides of issues. George
Kallman/Novato
Dear KPFA: I agree we need kids' pro-
gramming, especially kids' music shows.
Joel Pomerantz/San Francisco
Dear Marguerite Judson: Thank you for A
Wizard of Earihsea- What a treat! Can you
do the other books? Judy Foster/Oakland
Hi Jim Bennett: Thanks for the Ellington
"private tapes." Best thing I've heard in a
year. The "Caravan" was especially notable
because I'd just listened to,a "Caravan" he
played hard and fast and completely crazy.
Same artist, same band; two versions as dif-
ferent as night and day. I wish KPFA had a
weekly two-hour Ellington band show
hosted by Jim Bennett. Ken Maue/Mill
Valley
KPFA: I'm disappointed that you cut the
air time of Blues By The Bay. my favorite
KPFA program. It would also be great If
you could program the whole three hours of
the Johnny Olis Show on Saturday morning.
Sal Attinello/San Leandro
Dear KPFA: Tho I've supported you in
many ways over the past 20 years, I feel that
your lack of positive Jewish programming,
combined with your anti-Israel bias forces
me not to resubscribe. I am not a reac-
tionary. I support a Palestinian state, Yet all
of my progressive Jewish friends agree that
KPFA comes from a doctrinaire rigid sim-
plistic anti-Jewish viewpoint regarding the
Middle East. Don Klein/Berkeley
Dear KPFA: Life is so much richer with
you in my daily ear! I give loving thanks
with this gift of money. Please bring back
Padraigin. I miss her enormously. Llyana
Landes/Oakland
Dear KPFA: Thank you lo Kris and Philip.
I love your morning shows' and Dermy on
Mondays. Yeah! Also the great women's
programming and the new age programs.
Especially love New Horizons and Mama
O'Shea. Jazz on Thursday afiemoons is
really the best. World music tool Avis
Valle/Pittsburg
Dear KPFA: I've been a member for year^.
I've volunteered, etc. No more. You cut back
Tom Mazzolini's great show and the Black
Shadow too. No American music, no Ameri-
can money. Chris Pray/Suisun City
Dear KPFA Staff: The only snap, crackle
and pop I have for breakfast is KPFA radio,
stretching over the hills to Sonoma, like a
fresh breeze. Thank you for your coverage
of earth week and frequent coverage of en-
vironmental issues. Mama's show, the Wo-
men of Power and women's music shows,
the bluegrass show, interviews, readings of
poets, etc Loree Angel/Sonoma
Dear KPFA: Enjoy Denny Smithson's
show. How about more of him? Ruthanne
Lum McCunn/San Francisco
DENNY SMITHSON SHOW
Dear Pat Scott:
Yesterday morning I appeared on Denny
Smithson's show along with a cast of thou-
sands for an Earth Day preview. At the end
of the show Denny mentioned that he was
being dropped from that time slot, and
would be on at noon sometime in the future.
Is that change set in concrete? Is there any
way it can be reconsidered? I'm sure there
are advantages to having a consistent fivc-
day-a-week show at the commute hour, but
for me at least (and I suspect others) there
will be a loss. I have been appearing on
Deimy's show for the last fifteen years, at
least. I have really enjoyed the familiarity,
and feel over the years that I have cultivated
something of an audience which has heard
me talk, watched my ideas develop, fol-
lowed me through some changes, I hope for
the belter. It is not that I lack exposure to
the media — quite the contrary; I am on
other radio stations, tv stations, and in the
print media probably more often than I de-
serve. It is always, however, playing before
a house of strangers. It is only on Denny's
show that I get the feeling of being among
friends. I think there are many dozens of
other writers and activists who feel the
same way, and more to the point I suspect
that there are many hundreds of listeners for
whom Monday morning on the way to work
means Denny Smiihson.
I suspect that any time KPFA makes any
change at all in any direction there are letters
of protest. You do not have to answer, you
do not have to explain. But. at least in my
understanding of KPFA, moving Denny out
of the Monday morning slot has many more
disadvantages than advantages, and if the
decision is still open, I do hope that you
will change it.
Malcolm Margolin, Heyday Books/

NICARAGUAN ELECTIONS
Dear KPFA:
I have always felt that KPFA is most impor-
tant in my life but never more so than after
the Nicaraguan election. My feelings of
shock, sadness and anger were there but my
feeling of aloncncss was the most difficult
to feel. Was I the only one who cared? Was I
crazy lo feel this much loss and sadness
over a place so far away that I had never
been to; was I the only one who felt an iden-
tity with the people who lost that day?
Of course I would have survived this loss
without KPFA but because KPFA is there I
can survive without closing out the world.
You help make sense of the crazincss. I can
survive without becoming too cynical, you
give me hope by showing the craziness of
what it is — fear, corruption and greed.
The feelings of sadness and loss are still
there but my identity with the cause and the
people is still intact. Thank you for being
there, you are definitely a beacon in these
strange times.
Susan L. Brennan/Cup^rtino
OPENING THE MIND
Dear KPFA:
This subscription is for free speech radio.
You are courageous and bright enough to
give me information I don't even know I
need consistently and wiih humor. You open
my mind. I most of all appreciate
programming on women's issues and issues
of recovery. You are the candle in the
darkness and the whisper in the wind that
advances our struggles. Thaiik you most of
all for your gay programming. We need you
every day and I thank you for your creative
and enthusiastic work.

The Summit of the Year
By Mike Aicalay
T WILL BE THE LARGEST
crowd ever to come logeUier
to talk about a single microor-
ganism. The controversial
AIDS summit of the year, the
Sixth International AIDS Con-
ference, is happening in San
Francisco at the Moscone Cen-
ter, June 20th through the 24th.
Pacifica will air sessions of
the conference live each day
for the five days of the huge meeting.
AIDS is the final stage of a disease ini-
tially triggered by what is called the Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) which acts
slowly by destroying the body's immune
system. We all know — or we all should
loiow by now — how the virus is and is not
spread. In the United States alone, about
135.000 people are reported to have AIDS.
Another million people are carrying the
virus and feeling well. The HIV virus is a
"slow virus," taking ten years or more for
the disease to show up after initial infec-
tion. Almost 90% of HIV-positive people
do not know they are carriers because they
have yet to lake the simple and anonymous
AIDS antibody test. And they (1) might be
spreading it to iheir sexual and/or drug-
sharing partners, and (2) don't realize there
are now some fairly good treatments avail-
able that could keep the progression to
AIDS at bay perhaps indefmitely.
Last year's International AIDS Confer-
ence in Montreal was the largest the French-
Canadian city had ever seen. It was a mad-
house, with thousands upon thousands of
presentations. The conference was a great
place lo meet and network with all the human
beings out there working to end the epi-
demic. Its opening moments included the
storming of the main podium by 300 ac-
tivists who read their Montreal Manifesto,
followed by a compassionate speech by the
President of Zaire, who pubUcly announced
the death of his son from the disease.
This year is going to be a bit different.
HIV-positive people are now learning what
refugees from Mexico and Central America
have known for years: the United States Im-
migration & Naturalization Service is ruth-
less and heartless. Under the guidance of
Jesse Helms, the U.S. Senate pushed through
a bill in 1987 adding HIV-disease to the list
of items used lo exclude people from enter-
ing this country. Being a professed Com-
munist, for example, was only recently re-
moved from that list. Not surprisingly, Iran,
Iraq and South Africa are the only other
countries with similar HIV exclusionary
laws.
Last year, a Dutch health educator with
AIDS was incarcerated for five days in
Minnesota as he was on his way to San
Francisco for an AIDS conference (he was
caught with AZT on him). Hans Paul Ver-
hoef was finally released, a hero, and Mayor
Agnos proclaimed a special day for him.
AIDS experts around the world agree
that HIV can be spread only via sexual in-
tercourse and through blood contact (IV
drug users, pregnant women to their ba-
bies). Casual contact — sneezing, coughing
and touching — play no role in its spread.
You have to go out there and really work at
it to catch this virus.
AIDS in its second decade has now
moved into what many call the second and
third waves of the epidemic, as women and
children are brought into the maelstrom. The
virus mixes and spreads very easily with all
the other interrelated epidemics our system
produces, especially in the inner cities:
drugs, sexually transmilled diseases, home-
lessness, etc. The Bronx has about the same
Protestors demonstrating at the headquarters of the Health & Human Services Department in Washington, DC. in 1988
HIV-infection rale as many Third World ci-
ties now devastated by the epidemic. Dur-
ing the past two years, the number of new
AIDS cases among Asian-Americans has
doubled each year. There are some estimates
that one out of every hundred Native Amer-
icans are now carrying the virus: AIDS is
continuing the job the U.S. cavalry started in
the last century.
But despite the epidemic's growing
severity, experts agree that taking HIV-in-
fected people and quarantining them (as in
Cuba) or limiting their freedom of move-
ment is reproachable behavior. The only
way to stop the epidemic is with education:
lots of it.
Since the Verhoef incident, there have
been rumblings that perhaps the United
Slates, which excludes the very people
mosl-commitled to ending the epidemic, is
not the best place to have an AIDS confer-
ence. First, several European hemoptulia as-
sociations withdrew from participation in
the June conference: infected hemophiliacs
have had many difficulties with this
morally-tainted epidemic, and most have
stayed underground. They certainly did not
want their passports stamped "HIV." Then,
slowly, all the ACT-UPs (AIDS activist
groups) around the country began pulling
out — many of course will still be there,
outside, demonstrating. New York City's
Gay Mens Health Crisis, ihe largest AIDS
support group in the nation, is staying
home. They are attcmpiing to push a bill
through Congress that would let only health
professionals decide what diseases the INS
can exclude (the only one seriously being
considered is active pulmonary tuberculo-
sis). At press lime, France had pulled out,
and there was even the question whether
Luc Montagnier, discoverer of the virus,
will show up at "his" event.
Conference organizers don't agree with
the Immigration Service, but feel the show
must lo go. It's the AIDS main event of the
year, and they're expecting over 12.000
participants with 2500 presentations. Paci-
fica Radio will be there, live, every day,
both inside and outside the Moscone Cen-
ter. The radio co-hosts are WBAI News Di-
rector Amy Goodman and myself, along with
a top-notch team of reporters, engineers and
advisors. For five days, we'll take you on a
grand tour of the epidemic, from the latest
research developments in new AIDS drugs
and vaccines, to the various responses of
the growing number of affected communi-
ties, locally and nationally.
On opening day, Thursday June 21st,
we'll present a preview and overview of the
conference. Then we'll take you to the daily
morning plenary sessions where you'll hear
from people like Janet Mitchell, a physician
who cares for HIV-infected women in
Harlem, and from Martin Dclancy. one of the
stalwarts in the battle for early access lo
AIDS drugs. We'll also get direct reports
about AIDS from Uganda, Eastern Europe,
Mexico and Hong Kong. We will also be
there on Sunday, June 24ih for the closing
ceremony, with a wide range of speakers
ihat includes Rebecca Sevilla, the head of
Peru's lesbian and gay organization, and
Louis Sullivan, U.S. Secretary of Health and
Human Services.
This year's conference, despite its em-
broilment in controversy, promises to add a
few more layers to our knowledge about
AIDS. If you cannot attend, join KPFA and

Gore
Vidal
By Richard Wolinsky
The Boston Globe calls Gore Vidal "our
greatest living man of letters." He is the au-
thor of numerous works of fiction, including
historical novels, satire, science fiction,
mysteries, and short stories. He is perhaps
the finest essayist writing in English today.
He has produced works for Broadway,
television and film. He has unsuccessfully
run for public office. He is a contributing
editor to The Nation magazine. And he will
be appearing in Berkeley as part of benefit
for KPFA and T fie Nation on Saturday. June
30iJialZellcrbachHall.
Gore Vidal was bom on October 3,
1925 in West Point, New York to a distin-
guished and patrician American family.
After serving in the army during World War
II, he set out as z. author, and it was his tliird
novel. The City and the Pillar, one of the
first works to have a homosexual theme,
that rocked the literary establishment.
(Vidal refuses to use the word '"gay," in-
stead choosing "homoscxualist"for his own
reasons: Vidal claims to be a true bisexual).
During the 1950s, along with writing
novels such as The JudgemerU of Paris and
the science fictional Messiah, he authored
numerous plays for television, including the
satirical Visit to a Small Planet (eventually
turned into an execrable movie starring
Jerry Lewis), and three mysteries under the
pseudonym of Edgar Box (the earliest of
which. Death in the Fifth Position, contains
a scene in a gay bathhouse, surely a first for
the 1952 mainstream literary world). In
1960, Vidal's political drama. The Best
Man, became a hit on Broadway, and was
later turned into a movie starring Henry
Fonda. That same year, he also ran for
Congress in New York, the first in a series
of losing political campaigns that, if noth-
ing else, injected a note of intelligence into a
process sorely lacking in that virtue.
In 1964, he authored Julian, an exiremcly
popular historical novel about the pagan
Roman emperor and philosopher who tried
to stop the spread of Christianity. That was
followed three years later by Washington,
D.C., a political fiction that eventually be-
came part of a scries of novels that tell the
story of the United States.
Following the elegant Two Sisters: A
Memoir in the form of a Novel, Vidal pub-
lished what many consider to be his great-
est historical novel. Burr. The story of
Aaron Burr's (fictional) illegitimate son, the
book contrasts the declining American
democracy of 1836 with the idealism of its
founding fathers: Burr's fictional diary de-
tailing the early days of the republic is per-
haps Vidal's greatest creation, hilarious and
illuminating.
Gore Vidal has since then written other
novels in his American saga, including 1876
(which details the nadir of democracy in
Gore Vidal photo © Jane Bown
America, when the election of Samuel Tilden
was stolen by Rutherford B. Hayes), Lin-
coln, Empire (Teddy Roosevelt and mani-
fest destiny) and his newest, Hollywood: A
Novel of America in the 1920's. His other
recent novels include the historical Creation
and the satirical science fiction works
Kalki and Duluth. In addition to the afore-
mentioned, Vidal is also the author of Myra
Breckinridge and its sequel Myron, which
tell the story of llie world's greatest fic-
tional transsexual. The fu-st of these also has
the distinction of having been turned into
one of the worst Hollywood films ever
made, one that features Raquel Welch as the
leather-clad whip-wielding Myra and the
elderly Mae West as a nymphomaniac octo-
genarian.
Though better known for his fiction,
Vidal is also a superb essayist. His short
pieces are collected in six volumes, the most
recent of which is titled At Home. In these
discourses. Vidal talks about everything
from politics to the media to his literary fa-
vorites. He invites tlic reader to sample the
works of little known American authors,
rails against popular culture (his essay con-
cerning the New York Times Sunday best-
seller list in Matters of Pact aiid Fiction is a
particular gem), and discusses the future of
American democracy.
If there are any caveats about the man.
they are in the nature of his elitism: bom
into an aristocratic family, raised in a shel-
tered environment and — except for his war
years — spending adulthood as a wealthy
and distinguished author living large por-
tions of his life abroad, Vidal's knowledge
of the American common man or woman may
seem tentative, or at the very least derived
mostly from his imagination. But he also
does not suffer fools lightly, as wimess his
acerbic comments concerning not only
former President Reagan but such liberal
stalwarts as Senator Edward Kennedy.
Gore Vidal, it can also be said, is one of
the best interview subjects of all time —
and a marvelous speaker. Whether one
agrees with him or not, finds him eHtist or
democratic, idealistic or cynical, he is bril-
liant and fascinating. In his personal presen-
tation, he is iconoclastic, elegant, percep-
tive, and even a bit caustic.
Equally at home in satire (his An
Evening with Richard Nixon and. . . is a
scream), gemc and mainstream fiction, es-
says, short stories, theatre and television,
and on a soapbox, Vidal cuts across all gen-
res and all forms. He is an American marvel.
Gore Vidal appears with others in The
State of the Union: the !25th Birthday Bash
for The Nation,' a benefit for KPFA & The
Nation, on Saturday. June 30th at 8 pm at
Zellerbach Auditorium in Berkeley. For de-
tails, see the advertisement on page 4.
The Two
Mrs. Hardy s
By Dorothy Bryant
7N 1870, 30 YEAR OLD
Thomas Hardy was earning
his living as an architect. He
was called to restore an old
church in Cornwall, and there
he met Emma Gifford. lively,
literary, poor gentry, but far
above his peas ant -artisan family. Three
years later they married. Twenty-odd years
later, when Thomas Hardy had become fa-
mous, Emma had become tediously reli-
gious, priggish, fat, pretentiously genteel,
shrewish, argumentative, and — some visi-
tors thought — a bit unhinged. Everyone
disliked Emma and pitied Hardy.
In 1912, after nearly forty years of mar-
riage, Emma died. Thomas Hardy, then sev-
enty-lhree, immediately summoned Florence
Dugdale to Max Gate, his home in Dor-
chester. When people began to talk, he mar-
ried her. Florence was thirty-five.
Emma left behind an unpleasant surprise,
a series of diaries kept during her final
twenty years with Hardy. Into the diaries
she poured out her dissatisfactions. Prob-
ably she wrote about her shame at Hardy's
writing "indecent" books attacking mar-
riage, the church, the universities. Perhaps
she detailed her contempt for his rich and
famous admirers, who snubbed her. No
doubt she expressed her fury at the love po-
ems Hardy constantly wrote to younger
women like Florence. We will never know
for sure because Hardy, after months of
reading and brooding over the diaries,
burned ihem.
He preserved one piece of writing by
Emma, the first Mrs. Hardy, circa 1905
Thomas Hardy and his second wife. Florence at the time of their marriage. 1914.
Emma, called Some Recollections, a brief
memoir of her youth, climaxing with her
meeting Thomas, and ending with their mar-
riage on "a perfect September day." Written
loyally for public consumption, at the same
lime Emma was writing her bitter private
diaries. Some Recollections evoked the
lively Emma who had ridden her horse
across the cliffs of Cornwall; the young
Emma who had supported his literary ambi-
tions when no one else believed in him; the
defiant Emma who had cut herself off from
her family to marry him. Hardy was inspired
by Some Recollections to write some po-
ems about those days. TTicn more poems,
and more. . . to Emma.
He insisted thai her room and all her be-
longings be preserved just as they were
when she died. He set the calendar on his
desk permanently to March 7th, the day on
which he had met her. He forbade Florence
to change or even more any furnishings, any
plantings in the garden, anything that Emma
had established. Only one change was made:
over the fu-eplace in the parlor where guests
came almost daily to tea, he hung a large
portrait of his first wife in her youth.
And the poems to Emma . . . "Woman
much missed, how you call to me, call to me"
. . . continued to pour out of him. He went to
great pains to conceal the fact that his rela-
tionship with Florence went back at least
six years before Emma died, referring lo
Florence as "Errmia's friend," which indeed
she had become after he had — by exactly
what means we are still not sure — intro-
duced Florence into Emma's circle.
Florence was deeply humiliated by his
idealization of the woman he had barely en-
dured while she lived. She was also
shocked, dismayed and exhausted by the
demands of being wife-nurse-sccretary-
housekeeper-hostess-shield for the famous
old man. Hardy, probably the richest au-
thor in England by then, had the tightwad
habits of his peasant origins. He refused to
update Max Gate with a telephone, electric-
ity, or even a bath. Badly paid servants did
slovenly work, and little of it. Florence's
household allowance was so meager that she
wondered how Emma (criticiEcd for her
chaotic household) had managed as well as
she had.
When Florence needed an operation, she
took the train alone up to London and paid
her hospital bill out of her own savings. Six
years after marrying Hardy, she wrote in a
letter. "Somedmes 1 feel as if I were eighty."
Hardy himself was eighty by then, a
vigorous eighty, still producing poems, still
inspired by lovely young women. Florence
tried to be amused by his infatuations, but
she lost her cool when he seemed smitten
with Gertrude Bugler, a twenty -year-old ac-
tress who played the title role in a Dor-
chester theatre drama of Hardy's novel, Tess
of the Durbervilles. Florence behaved badly,
even hysterically, toward the innocent
Gertrude.
Florence had begun to resemble her pre-
decessor, Emma. The mmn difference seems
to have been that Emma was never the
doormat Florence became. Florence wrote a
few complaints in letters to friends, but she
never scolded her husband before illustrious
guests at tea, as Emma had done. Emma had
even marched in a suffragist demonstration
shortly before her health began to fail, an act
which neither Hardy nor FlorerKC approved.
Both Emma and Florence had married
Hardy in an era when — as one of Hardy's
friends told Florence — maniage offered
women the "great opportunity lo express
devotion." Devotion to a genius was, of
course, the greatest opportunity of all.
There is little evidence that anyone under-
stood, sympathized, or even vaguely real-
ized the extraordinary demands and humili-
ations visited upon women who devoted
themselves to "great" men. These wives
were seen as undeservedly fortunate ap-
pendages, basking in the reflected tight of
their husband's glory. (In the case of many
artists' and politicians' wives today, we
may not have moved very far from that
view).
Ironically, it was Hardy himself who
showed concerns for spirited, rebellious,
vulnerable women in books like Tess and
Jude the Obscure- In one of her angry ti-
rades, Emma said something like, "He cares
only for the women in his books; for real
people he cares nothing." Florence ex-
pressed it in her more subdued style: "He is
a great genius, but he is not a great man."
Nevertheless she was devastated when
Hardy died in 1928. Florence, now a rich
woman, proved generous, making substan-
tial improvements in housing and medical
care for the miserable poor of Dorchester.
She kept Max Gale as a museum for literary
pilgrims, but moved to a more comfortable
flat in London. She survived Hardy by only
nine years, dying at the age of fifiy-eight.
The ironies in the lives of these two
women seem as sad and as deep and as
darkly humorous as any that Hardy put into
his stories and poems. When Hardy was
poor and unknown, Emma gave him the re-
spect, love and practical help which made it
possible for him to write books thai embar-
rassed her and attracted admirers who
despised her. Florence's devoted care pro-
longed his working life so that in his old
age he could pen his best poems — to the
wife he had longed to be free of when he
was writing love poems lo Florence!
Today we would say that neither of
these women should have made such sacri-
fices. Nevertheless, we can recognize their
indirect contribution to English literature,
and their lonely ordeal.

KFCF15TH BIRTHDAY
When the Fresno Free College
Foundation began the work to construct
radio station KFCF in 1972. it had little
idea that the station would serve the San
Joaquin Valley so well and for so long. On
June 9, 1975, it began broadcasting the
signal of KPFA, and it continues to do so
with pride and optimism.
When KFCF began broadcasting, it was
the first public electronic medium operating
in the Central Valley. It started with just a
tiny signal, but now, due to the altitude of
the transmitter and its antenna system, the
station broadcasts with 50,000 watts of
equivalent effective power. Its signal
reaches as for north as Modesto, and as far
south as Delano and Bakersfield. There are
some 2.5 miUion people in its signal area.
In May of this year. KFCF's local
offerings increased by two hours. At the
request of the Central California Forum on
Refugee Affairs, the large Southeast Asian
refugee community is provided with a two-
hour Saturday afternoon program, with
thirty minutes of news and information in
each of these languages; Hmong, Laotian,
Cambodian and Vietnamese.
The rest of KFCF's local schedule
includes Fresno Traffic Jam, a Friday
afternoon drive time program offering
music, news and public affairs, including
monthly segments given to environmental
news and the Fresno Poets Association.
Saturday evenings, KFCF airs musical
programs which include jazz, blues, fusion
and folk. Sunday evenings the station offers
classical, pipe organ, and contemporary
music, plus live recordings of musical
events taped in and around Fresno. On
Tuesdays. KFCF broadcasts the weekly
meetings of the Fresno County Board of
Supervisors. These shows provide KFCF
with a local presence essential to its fund-
raising efforts.
The Fresno Free College Foundation is a
non-profit corporation which owns and
operates KFCF. Formed in 1968, the
Foundation's activities include lectures,
cultural programs, publications, a
scholarship program in India, and the
support of academic freedom and civil
liberties. It is committed to the enhancement
of the intellectual and cultural life of the
community. For this reason, the Foundation
supports the free movement of ideas and
information — the cornerstone of a
democratic society. It publishes an aimual
report which is available upon request.
-Alex Vavoulis
Alex Vavoulis is General Manager of
KFCF. The station celebrates its 15th
anniversary with special programming all
night long, Friday June 29th. starting at
11:30 pm.
TITO PUENTE
There is little doubt that Tito Puente is
the king of Salsa music. His timbal playing
has been heard all over the globe wherever
aficionados or converts can be found
shaking it to the Salsa beat.
Since his birth in a Harlem hospital in
1923, Puente has dedicated his life to
music. Growing up poor in Spanish Harlem,
His mother made sure Tito had his weekly
24 cent piano lesson, and would send him on
his way uptown from his home on 11th
Street in New York City to 125th and
Lenox. At the age of thirteen. Puente began
playing professionally, soaking up the
sounds of jazz and Cuban music. Hanging
out in places like Birdland, he heard the two
major groups that would inspire the creation
of his own big band: the Stan Kenton and
Dizzy Gillespie Orchestras.
Tito paid his dues as an apprentice
timbalero with the orchestras of Pupi

Campo and Machito, travelling to Cuba to
hear the work and sty lings of master
bandleader Beny More, and sample for the
first time Enrique Jorrin's invention, the
Cha Cha Cha (In the fifties, Puente would
bring the Cha Cha to the United States,
where it enjoyed great popularity.)
In 1947, Puente formed the Picadillay
Boys and began recording out of New York
on Tico Records. The mambo craze of that
time brought Puente to the forefront with
hits such as "Ran Kan Kan," "Abaniquito,"
"El Yo Yo," and "PicadiUo." With the
emergence of the Palladium Ballroom, the
home of the mambo in New York, disputes
over top billing between the various
orchestras of Puente, Machito and Tito
Rodriguez became common.
In the late 1950s, Puente switched
recording labels to RCA Victor. Though he
would emerge as a giant with the
worldwide exposure RCA gave him, his
earlier work on Tico contains the special
drive and creativity that fueled his
ascension to the top of his field.
On Saturday, June 30th. from 3 to 6 pm.
Emiliano Echeverria plays as much of the
Tito Puente's Tico sides as time allows.
These recordings have long been out of
print, but the recent acquisition of
recording master lists from Tico Records
now allows for a complete chronological
follow-through of Puente's work on the
label.
Tito Puente continues today as a pivotal
figure in whatever he does. Whether it be
Salsa, Latin Jazz or a guest appearance on
The Cosby Show, Puente remains king.

RECYCLED PAPER
We recently received a letter from a
subscriber named Alan Van Tress. He
writes:
"C'mon KPFA, your appeal (for funds) is
printed on non-rccycled paper bleached
(dioxin laden) paper stock. Get with the
program. Tliere is absolutely no excuse for
anybody, even a non-profit, to participate
in the destruction of virgin forests. Sorry,
you will not get my hard-earned dollars.
Sincerely, Alan."
We here at KPFA are well aware of the
issues involved with recycling and and
while there is no excuse, there is an
explanation.
KPFA operates on an extremely tight
yearly budget, and the most cost-effective
way to order supplies such as renewal
letters and stationary is to order in bulk —
in other words, we try to order a year's
worth of supplies at one time. The cost of
recycled paper a year ago was almost twice
as much as non-recycled paper We arc in the
reordering process right now and although
the cost of recycled paper has come down
significantly, it is still mor" expensive than
non-recycled paper. However, wc have
decided to spend the additional money, and
have been ordering our print jobs on
recycled paper.
At this point, our new renewal scries, our
pledge forms, and the Folio are all being
Popular talk show host Denny Smithson is

series, 'Brainstorm. '
printed on recycled paper. As we run out of
supplies, we are trying to have them
replaced with recycled paper. We have also
gone to recycled window envelopes with
glasinc windows, making them recyclable as
well. There arc also bins for recycling paper
located throughout the station.
It is often difficult to balance cost
consciousness with political/social
consciousness, but wc hope you'll agree tliat
we here at KPFA are doing our best, and we
look forward to your continued support in
the struggle.
We are still searching for a competitive
supplier of recycled computer and xerox
paper. If you have any suggestions, please
let us know.

THE TRUTH ABOUT WRITING
B. Nina Holzer, a writer and teacher of
creative writing at Foothill College, hosts a
hionthly program about creative writing.
She talks about the ideas behind her work.
The truth about writing is that it is very
mysterious. As in any creative technique,
we discover by doing — what it is that
wants to voice itself from within ourselves.
This unfoldmeni into language is not just a
method of expressing something that is
ready to be said, but is often rather a
gradual process of becoming — of growing
into something and becoming conscious —
through the act of writing. Thus writing is
also a life process, comprehending and
manifesting oneself into the world.
What fascinates me most in the leaching
of creative writing is this connection
between a person's creative act and his/her
growing consciousness of the unfolding life
process. This has become the focus of my
teaching.
I began to teach Autobiography and
Journal Writing in an attempt to help people
comprehend their very personal experience
at the same time as I was leaching them the

Jimmy Harrison and Jack Teagarden, to the
important triumvirate of Duke Ellington -
Tricky Sam Nanton, Juan Tizol and Lawrence
Brown, there is much territory to cover. Also
hearing stylists such as Benny Morton, J.C.

Language can confuse as well as enlighten,
words can be used to say one thing and mean
another, Richard Nelson explores that belief
in this "serious comedy" about an exiled Pol-
ish writer living in London. He is befriended by
an American who offers to translate his novel
and help him find a publisher As the novel
emerges as a masterpiece in its original lan-
guage, it is transformed into mediocrity by the
well-meaning but incompetent translator.

The Communications Revolution:
Phone Calls Rated "X". Since the intro-
duction of 900 number fee-tor-service phone
exchanges, consumers have had to contend
with readily available telephone pornography,
solicitation polling services, and marketing
ploys that routinely get charged to their
phone bills Children and teenagers have also
been attracted to the sexually explicit 900
numbers, and are known to run up huge bills
on their parents' phones. On the other hand,
more innovative community services and in-
formation exchange projects are making
themselves available through 900 numbers.
How should these services be regulated or
curtailed? Does the First Amendment protect
900 number phone services, and would elimi-
nating or regulating them violate freedom of
speech? The program begins with a feature
produced by William Drummond, followed by a
live panel discussion and listener call-ins
from all over California (848-4425 from the
415 area code, and 1-800-427-KPFA from

craft of fonning a text. I was not so much
interested in training people to become
"writers." Our culture places far too much
emphasis on specialists — the few who
become well-known.
I was more interested in leaching writing
to the average person who came to night
classes and had a need to tell his or her
story. I believe that people's personal life
experiences arc often far more interesting
than fiction, and that if one teaches them to
become conscious of their own creativity,
the stories that come out are often very
powerful.
In cultures with oral traditions, such life
experiences were considered a precious
resource to be passed on. There were also
specialists — the professional storytellers
— but everyone told stories, and the story
of OTie's quest, one's learning, one's life
process was handed down through the
children. This rarely happens today.
Not only do we get our information and
entertainment ready-made from the public
media, but most people have become
completely unconscious of their own
creative method. And stories are printed,
not told, and their publication and
distribution are often in the hands of
powerful corporations.
For the average person who wants to tell
his/her story, who has the need to voice
him/herself, this is a rather iniimidaling
situation — writing is not considered
something that everyone can do. But I
believe anyone who can tell his or her story
can also Icam to write it. And I believe that
this procedure of learning to put yourself on
the page is an act of power — it is an act of
creation and of healing ai once. What we
heal is our muteness, what we create are our
self-images, the images of our life process.
In a world where most people are
condemned to be silent consumers, such an
act of power, of voicing oneself into the
world, can be profoundly healing and
beautiful. For me this is the great value and
joy of creative writing. The act of writing
is a quest, as was the ancient art of
storytelling, a quest to voice our path, our
life process.
— B. Nina Holzer
This quest is the subject of the monlhly
program, ' The Truth About Writing,' heard
this month on Sunday. June 17lh at 7 pm.
BERKELEY FESTIVAL
During three programs in June, KPFA
previews the Berkeley Festival & Exhibi-
tion: Music in History, a series of concerts
and symposia of and about baroque and
early music running from June 10th tlirough
17th at various locations in Berkeley (and
one in Palo Alto).
Among the featured artists are the Swiss
vocal and instrumental ensemble Project Ars
Nova, gambist Jordi Savail and Ensemble
Hesperion XX, the American Baroque
Ensemble, Ensemble Alcatraz, Germany's
Musica Antiqua Koln, and other performers.
The festival also presents two complete
operas.
The various symposia focus on debates
within the early music community, from the
argument over "authentic" or contemporary
performances to whether it is a "reasoned
and appropriate approach to historical mu-
sic making" or a typical product of our own
century (and therefore subject to various
tenets of modernism). Other symposia focus
on the historical context of various pieces
Jordi Savail of Ensemble Hesperion XX.
heard during the Festival (as well as on
KPFA's airwaves).
"Berkeley, being the home of myriad and
rabid early music junkies, is hoping its Ex-
hibition will become an annual event attract-
ing some of the biggest names in the field,"
says KPFA programmer Terry Hawkins.
"From Bernard de Venladom to Biago
Marini. from Hayne van Ghizighem to
Aurclius Klulzcldinger, there promises to be
something for all addictions no matter how
bizarre or impractical."
In the words of Festival General Man-
ager and KPFA programmer Joseph
Spencer, "We have assembled a truly re-
markable array of performances and related
activities, bringing together many of the
finest artists and scholars from Northern
California and throughout the world."
KPFA airs programs devoted to the Festi-
val on Monday, June 4th at 9 pm; Thursday,
June 7th ai 9 pm; and Thursday, June 14ih at
9:00 am.
