preserved in the memories of the Tibetan nomads and
despite its ancient origins still generating new episodes.

Sibley begins a new four-part series tracing the story of
music in the cinema since it first made an appearance, in The
Jazz Singer, over seventy-five years ago. With contributions
from eminent film composers including Lalo Schifrin, Rachel
Portman and Danny Elfman, Brian Sibley explores the way music
has been used to create a mood, conjure a time or place, or
simply to underscore the action.
Scoring The Silence: In the early days of silent cinema,
music was sometimes played on the set to help actors get
into the mood of a scene. When the resulting films were
screened, audiences watched them with live piano, organ or
orchestral accompaniment. Every film begins as simple pictures
without music; it is the addition of the score that creates a
powerful extra dimension, drawing viewers into a deeper
engagement with the images before them.

talents and disciplines are needed to be a screen composer?
Composers talk about the heritage of their craft, and film
composers from the past whom they admire or who have
influenced them. We also explore the beginning of the
composition process. What sort of music is wanted? Will an
existing classic be better than a new composition: Wagner for
Apocalypse Now, a Strauss waltz for 2001: A Space Odyssey
(eventually chosen over an original score by Alex North).
Composers tell us about discussions with the director,
writers and producers; the juggling act of being creative
and tuning in to what other people hear? We discover how
composers set about researching a film's subject or time-
period. Just how do you research the music of Cleopatra's
Egypt? How do they make their initial choices on style and
approach, and how often do they find themselves revisiting their
own previous themes (John Barry made a quirky reworking of his
regal music for Queen Eleanor in The Lion in Winter as a theme for
the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland!) How do they start
sketching and proposing ideas?

1845-1930 *BBCR3 lebrecht.live: Much of modern art arises from what Jean-

arouse indignation over inhumanity, injustice and the
impermeable heartlessness of authority. Picasso intended
'Guernica' as an anti-Franco propaganda piece. Shostakovich
wrote symphonies that covertly attacked Stalinist tyranny. David
Hare is writing a piece for the National Theatre castigating the
Blair government. But is art an appropriate medium for agit-prop?
Is political art the most effective art, or even good politics? Can
art ever be neutral? In a post-totalitarian world, lebrecht.live
attempts to draw new boundaries between art and politics for the 21st
century. Your views, please, to lebrecht.live@bbc.co.uk or phone us

2000-2100 *BBCR4 ARCHIVE HOUR: Stalin The Terrible: Like his predecessor
Tsar Ivan, Stalin held on to power with a reign of terror,
his purges and his policies destroying thousands of his
citizens. Like other tyrants though, he managed to project an
image of the 'great teacher', and when he died 50 years ago on
March 5 1953, the nation went into genuine shock and mourning.
Searching in the BBC and the former Communist archives Jim
Riordan uncovers the witnesses who experienced Stalin's rule at
first hand, and examines how Stalin kept his powerful hold on the
USSR over a period of 25 years

2200-2300 *KQED Soundprint: Segment One: "Common Ground." Scotland: the land
that brought us the steam engine, the thermos flask, the
pneumatic tyre, and the vacuum cleaner - to say nothing of
single malt whisky. But few people know that Scotland is also
in the vanguard of a bold experiment in social justice and
economic equality. As producer Bob Carty found out, the Scots are
not only enmeshed in explosive debates about power, and wealth and
privilege, but also about how to revive the economy and culture of
rural Scotland.
Segment Two: "Fishing in Troubled Waters." Scottish
fishermen are facing an uncertain future as their market
opens up to international fishing companies. Combined with
falling world prices and rising fuel costs, these global
factors threaten the viability of the industry. The British

0130-0230 *RFPI ALTERNATIVE RADIO: Molly Ivins about Politics and the Art
of Deception: Bush and Company just gave the American public
the best argument yet for publicly financing campaigns.
Getting cozy with the rich is nothing new to president-select
George W. Bush. But even he has reached new heights in his
recently unveiled tax plan, which abolishes dividend taxes on
investments. This direct appeal to what he calls the "investor
class" also happens to appeal to the portion of the population
that is most likely to vote. But here is the hidden catch: not only
is he giving up on the working class, but also the majority of the
so-called "investor class". It turns out the plan does not apply to
retirement accounts such as 401(k)s and IRAs. Over half of the
benefits go to the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans. It seems that the
super-rich are the demographic Bush is really swooning over. Considering
the social costs of influence peddling in Washington, public financing of
political campaigns is a bargain.
Molly Ivins is a keen and trenchant observer of the
American political scene. Her razor-sharp wit and pen spare
no one. Based in Austin, Texas, she is a nationally

of terrorism at home, and war abroad, many educators are
asking about the most effective ways of teaching young
Americans about America. President Bush has said that children

is worth fighting for." But teachers have always debated how to
teach the American "cause" and "character." That challenge

Prokofiev's death, Gerard McBurney presents an evening of
speech and music that takes you behind the mask of this
enigmatic composer. The 'enfant terrible' of Russian music in
his youth, Prokofiev fled the Russian Revolution in 1917 and
went into exile in the West. He became one of the leading
figures of the avant garde, first in the USA and then in France,
where he joined the influential circle around Serge Diaghilev.
But he chose to return to the Soviet Union, just when Stalin's
purges were at their height. During his last years there he composed
some of his greatest works, including the epic opera War And Peace,
but eventually fell victim of Stalin's wrath in 1948, and died a sad
and broken figure on the same day as the great dictator himself.
Throughout the evening, leading Prokofiev specialists and interpreters
(including Mstislav Rostropovich, Vladimir Ashkenazy and Valery Gergiev)
provide their own views of the composer, punctuated by some of the classic
Russian performances of his music. MORE DETAILS

0310-0500 *WGN EXTENSION 720: TRACKING THE GREAT AUTHORS
WILLIAM BAKER of Northern Illinois University is one of the
leading experts on Victorian literature in the United States.
But he is also an experienced literary sleuth. He tracks the
great works back to their origins, attempting to reach the root
thought processes of their authors through letters, notebooks,
manuscripts, and other early evidence. Among those he is
"investigating" are George Eliot, G H Lewes, Walter Scott, Harold
Pinter, Wilkie Collins, Bernard Kops, and Edwin Muir. Our other
guest is LARRY LIPKING of Northwestern University, a Samuel Johnson
and 18th Century specialist but, like all good English professors, a
generalist. On the trail of the great works
0400-0500 *KQED City Arts & Lectures: Arthur Sulzberger, chairman of the
New York Times Company and publisher of the New York Times;
and Howell Raines, new executive editor
0406-0500 *WPRi The Connection: Discussion about women & war. If women
ruled the world, the old saying goes, there would be no war.
Aristophanes thought so. His heroine, Lysistrata, convinced
the women of Ancient Greece not to put out until their men put
down their arms. Would she stand a chance?
0606-0700 *KQED Forum with Michael Krasny: State-sponsored assassinations
and the move to rewrite President Ford's executive order.

international relations at San Francisco State University; Tom

Initiative at the Center for Strategic and International
Studies; Jack Spencer, senior national security analyst at the
Heritage Foundation; and Laura Donohue, acting assistant professor

Stanford's Center for International Security and Cooperation
1230-1300 *RN DOCUMENTARY: "Black Water, White Water": During the wet
season, one-fifth of the world's freshwater flows through
the Amazon. It contains more species of fish than all the
rivers of North America or Europe. Humans settled along the
banks of the Amazon 10,000 years ago. Today people still make a
living fishing the Amazon. But some species are disappearing.
Scientists are the new explorers of the Amazon - searching for
explanations, separating myth from reality, and trying to find
solutions to a host of problems. Ginger da Silva explores the
Amazon in "Black Water, White Water" – part of Radio Netherlands'
River Series. +5965 [repeated at 1500, 0000, 0500 to NAm; and several
other times]
1530-1600 *KUNM Bioneers, "Daughters of Thoreau: Not Too Well Behaved." On
his deathbed, Henry David Thoreau said his only regret was
that he had been too well behaved. Julia Butterfly Hill,

imaginative, inspiring and courageous direct-action heroines of
our era, share their experiences and show us how courage and
commitment can stop mountains from being moved
1800-1900 *CAINAN THE POINT: The History of Crime and Scandal on Cape Cod

Cod Today on the subject joins Mindy. Mr. Albright also has
a web site, capecodconfidential.com dedicated to the subject
1900-2000 *BBCR2 Nick Barraclough: Exactly forty years ago today, on the 5th
March 1963, a twin-engined Comanche returning from Kansas
City to Nashville crashed killing all on board, including
Randy Hughes the pilot, country singers Hawkshaw Hawkins and
Cowboy Copas, and probably the greatest female country voice
ever, Patsy Cline. Patsy Cline's is quite a story, one of
triumph and success, skulduggery, sex and tragedy. Despite being
only thirty when she died, a mere six years after she had first
appeared on the Arthur Godfrey Talent Scout Show, Patsy's life,
both professional and private, has to be one of the most colourful
in country music history. Her reputation as a warm hearted, ambitious
lady who liked to take a drink and lived a tempestuous life with her
husband has become almost as well known as her songs. In a tribute to
the doyenne of country music, Nick tells her scintillating and
remarkable story with contributions from, amongst others, Brenda Lee,
Harlan Howard and former husband Charlie Dick. He also plays the songs
that made Patsy Cline irrefutably the first lady of country: I Fall To
Pieces, Walking After Midnight and, of course, Radio 2's Country Song of the
Millennium, Crazy

Talking Point. He's in London as part of an intensive round
of diplomacy over a possible war with Iraq
2100-2130 *BBCR4 An Earth Made For Life: The popular view that the earliest
Earth was a barren wasteland is probably wrong. Science
writer Gabrielle Walker travels to Greenland to see the
evidence (blackened rocks with a special chemical character)
that life not only survived but probably thrived as far back as
geology can take us. And she hears that not only was the Earth
apparently made for life; it was also made by life, as the first
organisms re-fashioned their own environment
2100-2200 *OPB Justice Talking: in-depth look at the key cases and
controversies before the nation's courts. It tackles the
differing values that lie at the heart of this democracy
showing the Constitution as a living document. Hosted by
Margot Adler. This week: Do people have the right to smoke in
public or has cigarette smoking become so offensive that it
belongs only in the privacy of one's own home? As a public health
measure, New York City has just banned cigarette smoking in
restaurants and bars. But some are questioning the science on
second hand smoke and asking if the nanny state had taken its
legislative power a little too far. In this edition of NPR's Justice
Talking, Margot Adler hosts a debate between anti-tobacco activist Joe
Cherner, founder of SmokeFree Educational Services, and libertarian
writer Jacob Sullum, an editor and columnist at Reason Magazine, who
wrote the book: For Your Own Good: The Anti-Smoking Crusade and the
Tyranny of Public Health. The program was taped before a live audience at
Baruch College in New York City and begins with a background report by Amy
Eddings of WNYC, a look back at how New York City snuffed out smoking.

that he created himself. And you thought the apple really did land

are remembered in a very different way from other parts of
the former Soviet Union or the rest of his world. His statues
still stand there, the first toast of an evening meal is often

various followers in the country who think of him of as a great
Georgian, as well as a great dictator. But like elsewhere, his

Merridale journeys to Tbilisi and Gori to meet Stalin's Georgian
heirs - his devotees and his surviving victims, his great grandson
and the ninety year old teacher of English who saw her university
classmates executed - and to try to understand how Josef Dzhugashvili,

performances from some of the highest profile players in Pop.
The series is under-pinned by performance and presentation from
the Godmother and Godfather of British swing, Dame Cleo Lane and
John Dankworth. Thirty-two years ago John and Cleo decided they
wanted somewhere intimate and close to home to play music with
friends, so they converted the stable block in the grounds of their
house. Since then, the newly re-built 400 seat venue has gained an
international reputation for the quality and variety of its jazz
programming and as a place to hear musicians at their most creative.
Presented exclusively for BBC Radio 2, this series offers the finest Big
Band in the country under the baton of John Dankworth in support of a
diverse array of stars from the worlds of jazz and pop.
The series of 6 hour long programmes have all been recorded
live and exclusively at The Stables theatre in Wavendon.
This is not simply a series of concert relays. It features
many new arrangements and compositions from the likes of Craig
David, Andy Summers, Alison Moyet and David McAlmont alongside,
from the jazz world, musicians like Stan Tracy, Guy Barker,
Claire Martin and Julian Joseph. This week UK Pop artist David

compelling dialogue between former New York Governor Mario
Cuomo and Indiana Congressman Mark Souder -- two deeply
religious politicians. The conversation was recorded at the
Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life held in Washington, DC
in October 2002. Former Governor Cuomo and Congressman Souder
inhabit opposite ends of the political and theological spectrum --
Cuomo is a classic democratic liberal and a lifelong Catholic;
Souder is a neo-conservative and a self-described fundamentalist
Christian with Amish roots. Each discusses how he tries to reconcile
deep personal religious conviction while serving a pluralistic
American constituency. The depth of Cuomo's personal faith is
striking, and Souder -- who was the only House Republican to vote
against the impeachment of President Bill Clinton -- breaks the
stereotype and brings nuance to the term "Christian Right."

journeyed from the atmosphere of a tavern brawl to the hallowed
silence of a cathedral whilst listening to classical music over the
years? And how might audiences behave in the future?

2100-2200 *KQED Radio Specials: Voices of Public Intellectuals: Women and
the Law : "The Asymmetry of Citizenship." Tonight's speaker
is Linda Kerber from the University of Iowa. The language of
equality in American law and tradition is wholesomely generic,
but the practices of citizenship have not always been practices
of equality. Kerber examines some of the ways in which the
meanings of citizenship have been, and continue to be, different
for men and for women
2200-2300 *KQED Soundprint: Segment One: "Loida and Johanna Go to Flin
Flon." Flin Flon, in Manitoba, Canada, is said to be the
only city in the world named after a character in a science
fiction story. In 1915, gold prospectors stumbled across a
dime store novel abanadoned under a tree. They read a chapter
or two, and discovered Flintabatty Flonatin, a man who found an
underground city of gold in his submarine. They called their new
town Flin Flon. A decade later, the Canadan National Railway came
to town, bringing with it miners from all over the world. Segment
Two: "After Sorrow." "After war, the people you meet differ so from
former times," wrote the Vietnamese poet Nguyen Trai in the early
15th century. Americans are still searching for answers to the Vietnam
conflict, and the conflict that lives on in the collective mind and
soul of this country. American writer Lady Borton is one of the few who
has explored the North Vietnamese point of view in trying to reach an
understanding of what happened and why. Borton was the first American
journalist given permission by Vietnamese officials to speak with ordinary
villagers and to live with a village family

and Entropy, they address the themes he has grappled with so
memorably in his acclaimed novels: "the pull of the past over
present and the profound effects that one person can have on
another" (San Francisco Chronicle); the aftershocks of the
Holocaust; the convergence of science, the imagination and the
spiritual realm; and the way art can shape our humanity

11: Chile 1973. September 11 is now engraved on the
consciousness of Americans. Yet for the South American
country of Chile, the date has a different and much more
tragic significance. It was on that day in 1973 that the
democratically-elected government of Salvador Allende was
overthrown in a CIA-backed military coup. Augusto Pinochet seized
power. In the ensuing years tens of thousands of Chileans were
killed, jailed, tortured and driven into exile. The US role, under
Nixon and his National Security Advisor Kissinger, in first
destabilizing and then overthrowing the Allende government was
decisive. It will rank among the most grotesque interventions ever
undertaken by the US. A few years after the coup, Nobel Peace Prize-
winner Kissinger visited Chile. He told General Pinochet, " In the
United States, as you know, we are sympathetic with what you are trying
to do here." Peter Kornbluh (Korn-blue) is senior analyst with the
National Security Archive in Washington DC. He is the author of "The
Pinochet File." [+6/12 hours] +7445 15038

Tunisia, Niger, and Mali. This program spotlights some leading
contemporary Berber artists including Takfarinas and Tayfa, and
legends like Matoub Lounes and others in the international Berber
Diaspora such as Houssaine Kili. The Berber story is one of

told to the Oral History Department of Columbia University in a
series of interviews spanning 10 years. Stanton - who has been
called the conscience of broadcasting and the greatest broadcast
executive of all time - was also a confidante of U.S. presidents
from Harry S Truman to Lyndon B. Johnson. He was the driving force
behind the formulation of televised debates between presidential
candidates, starting with the Kennedy-Nixon debates of 1960.
Stanton made his greatest mark on the broadcasting field when he
refused a Congressional subpoena to release non-air notes and tapes
relating to the 1973 CBS Reports documentary, The Selling of the
Pentagon. The ensuing vote by the U.S. House to hold Stanton in contempt
of Congress - and Stanton s victory - helped lay the groundwork for the
Constitutional protections broadcast journalists enjoy to the present day

1845-1930 *BBCR3 Lebrecht Live: Is a record real? Is a photograph art?
Norman Lebrecht asks how far we can trust photographs and
recordings as truly authentic. 'A fraud!' cried the conductor
Otto Klemperer on seeing an Abbey Road engineer edit a bad
note in his performance for release on record. Everyone knows
that records lie. Even the so-called 'live recordings' have been
put together from two or more performances. So can we trust a
record to deliver musical truth, or must we hear everything live?
And what about photographs? Those that qualify as works of art have
been glossed, retouched, detached from reality. Art apart, can they
be trusted as a record of the way we are, or were? The things we
accept as a matter of record are rarely what they seem on first
encounter. Do we need to reconsider the role of recording and
photography in shaping our perceptions of art and reality?

noted, "Four things belong to a judge: to hear courteously,
to answer wisely, to consider soberly, and to decide

complex modern world, what additional (if any) roles does a

2230-2300 *BBCR4 The Musical Triumphs And... Growing up in the musically
sophisticated court of her father Henry VIII, Elizabeth
acquired a love of music that would inspire her to create a
musical establishment reflecting the splendour of her own
international court. As a talented musician herself, Elizabeth
took great pleasure in the lavish musical ceremonies and
entertainments that were a feature of her reign. Despite her
Protestant reforms, Elizabeth was happy to include the kind of
elaborate music associated with the Catholic mass into services
held in her Chapel Royal. However, in parish churches across the
land, music was regarded as a distraction from the word of God and
virtually disappeared altogether. Terry Edwards investigates the
sacred and secular music surrounding Elizabeth in light of the
cultural, political and religious upheavals of her reign

she continues to stand as one of the most commanding, luminous
voices to grace America's political and poetic landscape.
Quilting the Black-Eyed Pea is a masterpiece that explores the
ecstatic union between self and community, a meditation on humanity
and soul. It's Giovanni's relevatory gaze at the world in which we
live--and her confession on the world she dreams we will one day call
home

Romans, Rabelais was one of the cornerstones of the Renaissance.
A celebrator of life in all its excesses - laughter, sex, food,
drink, he created a Rabelaisian world in his Five Books led by
Pantagruel and Gargantua. He died 450 years ago in 1553, and

William Albright, Featuring New Digital Organ. As part of
its ongoing support of the music programs of Trinity Church
Wall Street, WQXR will broadcast a live concert performance of
William Albright's A Song to David, performed by the Trinity
Choir and organist Dean Billmeyer, conducted by Dr. Owen Burdick.
This performance marks the debut of the Church's new state-of-the
-art digital organ. Soon after his release from a mental asylum in
1763, Christopher Smart's 86-stanza poem, A Song to David – an epic
work rejoicing in God through the life and works of David, was
published in London. Set to music in 1983 by the late composer
William Albright (1944-1998), the work, which is scored for double
chorus, four soloists, narrators, and organ, was commissioned by the
Cathedral Church of St. Mark, in Minneapolis. Dean Billmeyer, the
organist who premiered the work, will perform the virtuoso organ part.
This concert will be the first in a year-long series of
dedicatory recitals featuring the new state-of-the-art
Marshall & Ogletree digital organ. This instrument far
surpasses any other electronic organ with respect to sonic
realism and sheer computing power: 60 channels of digital audio
fed through 60 specially designed speakers and 6 sub woofers.
This instrument, driven by over 20 computers working in tandem,
is intended as a long-term interim solution while Trinity restores
or rebuilds its Aeolian Skinner pipe organs which were destroyed by
the dust and debris from the 9/11 attack. Ground Zero is located just
600 feet from Trinity Church [NOT! tho on the monthly specials list,

1930-2000 *BBCR4 Crossing Continents: Updated version of Claire Bolderson's
report last December on misery in one of the most exclusive
holiday spots of the Caribbean. Thousands of men and women
have fled Haiti, the poorest country in the Western
Hemisphere, but live in constant fear of deportation. Many are
denied health care, even if they have AIDS. Many of their
children are barred from local schools. Britain has attempted
over the years to grant considerable autonomy to its remaining
"colonies" or overseas territories. In attempting to shed the role
of imperial ruler, is it failing in its legal duty to uphold human
rights? Claire looks at the changes which have taken place since
this campaigning programme was broadcast, and asks whether there's
been a change of heart in Whitehall.

issues affecting civic life. The language of equality in
American law and tradition has not always translated to

lawyers, and historians explore, in accessible terms, gender and the
public and private rights of citizens. Lectures and Speakers: Beyond

social hierarchy taking hold in Britain today, the Indian
caste system. For many of the nearly one million Britons of
Indian origin the caste system continues to exert a powerful
influence over their everyday lives. Yet it's a subject many
feel is still taboo. BBC Community Affairs reporter Naresh Puri

virtues of caste. He finds out whether tradition can merge with a
modern British identity, when it comes to the caste system

1800-1900 *BBCR2 Nick Barraclough: The Dixie Chicks join Nick in the studio
to chat about their startlingly popular music, the new
album's extraordinary genre-defying success, and their
relationship with the country music industry. Since exploding
onto the country music scene in 1997, the Texas-by-way-of-
Nashville trio has broken all sales records, set new concert
attendances, won millions of fans, and received an avalanche of
awards and critical acclaim. Blending enviable bluegrass skills
with a brash, irreverent attitude, the Chicks combine respect for
country's musical traditions with an unwillingness to be bound by
its social ones, creating a sound and image that's instantly
recognizable and always engaging. The Chicks' debut CD, Wide Open
Spaces, took the country music world by storm in 1998, earning the
group top awards and selling more than 11 million copies, the best
performance by a debut album in the history of country music. Their
follow-up, Fly, proved that the trio was no one-hit wonder. Their third
album, Home, however, has catapulted the Chicks into orbit since its
release in August 2002. Though following on the heels of an unpleasant label
dispute earlier last year, Home broke all boundaries by flying straight in
at number one on the pop album charts in America. This made it the largest
selling first week for any artist in the United States in 2002, including
Eminem.

for a more suitable wife back home. The character of Madam
Butterfly is the most rounded of Puccini's frail heroines and in
her tragic suicide she finds a strength of character that tugs at
the heart strings. Antonio Pappano conducts this new Royal Opera
House production from the team of Patrice Caurier and Moshe Leiser.

2000-2030 *BBCR4 Living In The City: In the first of these two programmes,
Alun Lewis will explore the social engineering of towns and
cities. What do you need to think about in order to build up
a town from scratch? How do you integrate people with
amenities in order to get the most efficient system? He
compares new towns, like Milton Keynes, which are up for
expansion with old cities like Glasgow, who went through a
disastrous re-planning scheme after the war and which is only now
coming right. From the past and present to exploring future planning
ideas, Alun also finds out if the concepts from Sci-fi films will
ever be a reality. Will we whiz around the skies of our cities in
remote controlled cars? And will living on-top of one another, with a
constant buzz of traffic past your 35th floor window really be less
stressful than city living is today?
2006-2059 *NPR Talk of the Nation: From chapped hands and sunburn, to

Six million of us earthlings now feel that we are

Memories from a Decade Gone Mad. In May 1974, one year after
Patty Hearst and her captors robbed Hibernia National Bank, a
second kidnapping took place. Virginia Holman's mother, in the
thrall of her first psychotic episode, believing she had been
inducted into a secret army, took her two daughters to the
family cottage on the Virginia Peninsula, painted the windows
black, and set up the house as a field hospital. Rescuing Patty
Hearst is an account of the dark days during which Holman's family
was held hostage by her mother's delusions and the country was beset
by the folly of the Watergate era. It is a startling memoir and a
moving portrait of a young woman defined by her mother's illness--
until at last she rekindles a family love that had lost its way

existing adult-entertainment law constitutional. In addition, it has
approved a resolution to study the law over the next four months in an
effort to propose legislation to regulate the business

0305-0500 *WGN EXTENSION 720: THE FUTURE OF CAPITALISM: Critics of market
capitalism have flourished in political and academic circles
for centuries. Herbert Marcuse tried to dampen some of the
enthusiasm, arguing, "Not every problem someone has with his
girlfriend is necessarily due to the capitalist mode of
production." Nevertheless, from the WTO protesters to the
lingering remnants of socialism, the critiques continue. Our
guests tonight, RAGHURAM RAJAN and LUIGI ZINGALES, both
accomplished professors at the University of Chicago's Graduate
School of Business, come not as critics but as advisers. Their new
book Saving Capitalism from the Capitalists: Unleashing the Power of
Financial Markets to Create Wealth and Spread Opportunity endorses free
markets as the key to prosperity for all. The dangers, they argue, lie
in regulation and the tyranny of special interest favors. We will
examine the future of capitalism, and take a hard look at our current
economic situation, with these two distinguished guests

one of Britain's best-loved singer-songwriters takes us on a
four week evening train journey back to Georgia, to celebrate
the music and the amazing life of Gladys Knight. The opening
programme concentrates on family and tells the story of the
early years, the talent contest, the name 'the Pips', and the
start of commercial success at Motown. One of the great soul
singers, Gladys Knight was a performer from her childhood years,
forming the Pips with her brother Merald and cousins. They made the
top ten in 1961 with the heavily doo wop-influenced 'Every Beat of
My Heart', and recorded some fine, nowadays overlooked, pop-soul
sides for the Fury and Maxx labels in the early and mid-'60s,
sometimes under the direction of songwriter Van McKoy. They had
several minor hits during this period, 'Letter Full of Tears' and
'Giving Up', made the Top 40. They were continually gigging across the
United States. By the time they moved to Motown, Gladys Knight and her
Pips were seasoned entertainers

2100-2130 *BBCR2 The Music Never Ends: The Michel Legrand Story. Part 2. You
Must Believe In Spring: David Jacobs presents a six-part
profile of composer and pianist Michel Legrand. 'Les
Parapluies de Cherbourg' (Umbrellas of Cherbourg) is
considered one of Legrand's best works as a composer, written
when he was still a struggling artist in Paris. It was the first
movie musical where everything was sung by the actors, led by
Catherine Deneuve. Today, with Broadway musicals like 'Miss
Saigon', 'Les Miserables', and 'Evita', everyone accepts sung
dialogue on stage as well as on the big screen. But 'Cherbourg' was
shot in 1964 when it was considered a revolutionary idea. In this
programme, Legrand recalls the challenging time he and lyricist/
director Jacques Demy went through to get the movie made

2200-2230 *BBCR4 Great Lives: Captain Robert Scott: The biographical series
Great Lives returns for a new run of ten programmes,
beginning this week with Beryl Bainbridge nominating her dead
hero, Robert Falcon Scott. Scott's defeat by the Norwegian
Amundsen in the race to the South Pole, and his failure to
bring his men back alive, have caused frequent re-workings of
his reputation. This stern, unbending naval man appears to
represent many of the failings of old imperial Britain. But from
her research for her novel "The Birthday Boys", Beryl Bainbridge
believes she unearthed a different man, an adventurer and a romantic,
whose eyes turned from blue to purple whenever he became amorous. As
well as rare archive of Scott's companions on his southerly trips, the
programme contains accounts of his love for the bohemian sculptor,
Katherine Bruce, and evidence of his friendship with JM Barrie, creator
of Peter Pan. The idea for the Lost Boys, Bainbridge believes, came from
Scott. Bob Headland, archivist of the Scott Polar Institute provides the
cooler evidence, including an account of the numerous mistakes Scott made,
while Humphrey Carpenter will be keeping the expert and the nominator apart
should a scrap break out

radio show. Each week we form a five piece band, made up of
comedians and musicians who literally jam together within a
format that allows them to improvise and riff off each other.
The backline is always made up of Rowland Rivron (Drums), Dave
Catlin Birch (Bass) and Richard Vranch (keyboards). They are
joined by recording artistes such as the Icicle Works' Ian McNab,
Blacks' Colin Vearncombe and arguably the world's most famous
session musician Herbie Flowers. There are also a number of very
talented comedians who can also play a bit, including perrier award
winner Justin Edwards, former lounge crooner Lenny Beige aka Steve
Furst and the vocal chameleon that is Jason Wood. They make musical
worlds collide on a week to week basis. Imagine Marilyn Manson covering
the Everly Brothers "Dream" or Gabrielle singing "I Am A Cider Drinker."

2200-2300 *KQED Soundprint: Segment One: "Challenging Stereotypes."
Traditionally, Hull, in northeast England, has had a tiny
ethnic community numbering some 300 Chinese, so there was
considerable suspicion when the local council agreed to accept
around 250 Iraqi Kurds, under the British government's dispersal
program. In fact between 1,500 and 3000 arrived in the city, as a
result of a deal by private landlords. Initially there were
incidents of violence and racial abuse, even today there are
occasional attacks. But despite lingering prejudice, there is a
growing acceptance of these refugees and asylum-seekers. Segment
Two: "Greetings from White Australia." In the closets of many
suburban homes lurk some of the strangest representations of Aboriginal
people and culture - chubby piccaninnies, reclining dusky nudes, bearded
warriors - on everything from tea towels to ashtrays. This mass-produced
Aboriginalia we now call kitsch

and silence. 3. In A Child's Ear: At twenty weeks in the womb, the foetus'

0300-0400 *KQED Radio Specials: Whole Wide World: "War and Conflict in the post-
Cold War, post 9/11 era." The Cold War and its central conflict -
the physical and ideological battles between the United States, the
Soviet Union and their proxy states - imposed a certain logic and
consistency on the world. Take that away and add the bloody wars in
the Balkans, Africa and the Middle East in the 90s as well as the
terror attacks and warnings of more recent times and you get a very
confused picture of a world at war. Is this breaking storm in Iraq about
oil, democracy, freedom, empire, culture, water, diamonds, modernizing
Islam or nation building in the Middle East? Some, one, or all of these
things? In this hour, a museum-like tour of theories of this war

1530-1600 *BBCR4 The Material World: How can tree rings help us learn more about
volcanic eruptions hundreds of years ago? Dendrochronology is the
dating of past events (climatic changes) through study of tree ring
growth. It is possible to cross match ring patterns between trees
from different locations around the world, meaning that the trees are
storing some common environmental signal. Scientists have now realised
that an environmental event, such as a volcanic eruption that puts dust
and acid into the upper atmosphere, thereby cooling the earth's surface,
is big enough to show up in tree rings globally. In Material World,
Quentin Cooper will be finding out how archaeology and climate comes
together by linking tree ring data to catastrophic climate events in the
past %

0205-0400 *WGN EXTENSION 720: ISRAEL-PALESTINE: Overshadowed by the Iraq war but
never forgotten, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues to
fester and cause innumerable problems for our foreign policy and
the world. Is it conceivable that a dramatic U.S. victory in Iraq
could re-spur the peace process? Many are skeptical but the current
administration seems committed to redoubling its efforts after the war.
This week, Northwestern University is holding a major conference on
these problems and prospects, and a number of its prominent participants
will join us
0300-0400 *KQED Radio Specials: Speaking of Faith: Religion in a Time of War:
More than any crisis in modern memory, the War on Terror-including
the current U.S. military presence in Iraq-is being debated in

renowned preacher. We ask how and whether Christian principles really
make a difference at this moment in our national life-and if not, why
not?

1430-1500 *KUNM Friday Forum. Host and producer Stephen Spitz speaks with Chris
Eyre, a young, award winning filmmaker. Eyre is a member of the
Cheyenne and Arapaho nations, and his two recent feature films,
"Smoke Signals" and "Skins," center on life on an Indian reservation.
The interview begins with a discussion of how Eyre became interested
in film, the mental process he uses to conceive and develop a story
line, and the way he identifies with the main characters in his films.
The discussion then turns to "Smoke Signals," which is about two young
Native Americans, Thomas and William. They leave their reservation to
pick up the remains of William's estranged father and along the way we
learn more about their relationship and what they think it means to be an
Indian in contemporary America. Through Eyre's direction we also develop an
emotional attachment with both boys, something that Eyre was quite deliberate
in what he describes as a "road movie." Eyre is then asked about his latest
film, "Skins," which tells the story of two brothers on the Pine Ridge
Reservation in South Dakota. Tribal policeman Rudy Yellowshirt struggles in his
relationship with his older brother, Mogie, an alcoholic Vietnam veteran. Out of
frustration, first with violence and then with alcohol and the effect they both
have on the community, Rudy becomes a vigilante. Eyre talks about the decision to
have violence and alcohol play a pivotal role in his films, the choice of
vigilantism as a symbol, and why parts of both films are shot in almost a
documentary style. Produced with the assistance of Tristan Clum and Todd
Lovato
1430-1500 *CBCR1 C'est La Vie: Conclusion of a two-part series on Quebeckers'

move to Motown in Detroit and their touring days with the Motortown
Revue. Steeped in the gospel tradition, like so many soul singers,
Gladys Knight and the Pips developed into one of Motown's most
dependable acts, although they never quite scaled the commercial heights
of fellow stars on the label like the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, and the
Temptations. It wasn't until Norman Whitfield took over the production,

success

1. The Deodorant -- Today 90% of the population hold up their hands
with confidence thanks to deodorant, which was invented in 1888. By

armpit pads used instead. Lynne Truss uncovers the history of
deodorant with James Dyson and Uri Geller; she meets the man who sniffs
armpits for a living, and finds out why deodorant is behind the

1900-2000 *BBCR4 The Archive Hour: A Twist To Life: In April 1953, the journal
Nature reported what was probably the most important scientific
discovery of the 20th century - the double helix structure of DNA,
the molecule of life. The classic breakthrough came to Francis Crick
and Jim Watson as the climax to an intellectual race between
scientists in Cambridge and London, Britain and the USA. In an instant
it put flesh on the bones of Mendels theories of inheritance and
Darwin`s theory of evolution by natural selection. But the gene story
was only just beginning. It was destined to transform medicine and
agriculture and give birth to whole new areas of research and industry,
from GM food to biotechnology. Professor Steve Jones tells the story of DNA
and its discovery against the backdrop of the hopes and fears that it
engendered. He also looks at how the double spiral of DNA has become an icon,
on our stamps and coins, commerce and even in our beer. And he looks at how it
has been portrayed in art and music. The programme includes contributions from
Francis Crick and Jim Watson, as well as Maurice Wilkins (who shared the 1962
Nobel Prize for discovering the structure of DNA), and Ray Gosling and Peter
Pauling (who didn't).

visionary religious art, the Throne resides at the Smithsonian. This is
the story of The Throne of St. James. Segment Two: "Conversations in a
Black Barbershop." Join us as we spend an afternoon in a barbershop in
Washington DC run by black Muslims. The conversation runs from issues of

0100-0200 *WFIU American Radio Works: Hard Time - Life After Prison: This special
looks at the impact America's 30-year war on crime has had on
communities and families. The war shows signs of winding down -
arrest numbers have flattened, "three strikes" laws are being scaled
back, the prison building boom is over - but decades of "tough on
crime" policies have left the U.S. with 2 million people behind bars
and some 600,000 being released from prison each year. In a northeast
central neighborhood in Durham, North Carolina, the War on Crime has
shaped three generations. The community started feeling its effects in
the 1960s as more and more young men began disappearing for months and
years at a time. More than ten million children in the U.S. have
experienced one or both parents in prison. We follow one family - the mother
is a recently released ex-con with two sons; and the father is in prison - as
they recreate their lives. A staggering 7% of the adult population has been
found guilty of a felony, and though the average sentence is three years, the
consequences of a prison record last a lifetime. Most will leave prison poorly
educated, broke, and with few job prospects. This story is collaboration with the
PBS program Now with Bill Moyers and will air as a series on NPR's All Things
Considered
0200-0300 *WFIU A Taste of Passover: Under the artistic direction of Hankus

orchestral, choral, and chamber ensembles from the New England
Conservatory. The program's non-stop fun and festivities make
listeners feel as if they're part of a large extended family that is
thoroughly enjoying the holiday. Recorded live in New England
Conservatory's Jordan Hall, A Taste of Passover includes homespun and
concert versions of a wide variety of music from the Passover repertoire,
with witty commentary written by humorist Moshe Waldoks. The program not
only features beautiful and uplifting music, but also favorite Passover
drinking tunes, zany seder songs, and delightfully entertaining segments,
such as instructions for cooking the perfect matzo ball. Hankus Netsky, a
multi-instrumentalist and composer, is on the faculty at the New England
Conservatory in Boston, where he has taught for 18 years. He is founder and
director of the Klezmer Conservatory Band, a renowned Yiddish music ensemble.
Netsky has recorded extensively, composed scores for Rabbit Ears Radio, and

0400-0500 *WYSO One People Many Stories: Passover: Hosted by the irrepressible
Jerry Stiller, this hour-long special from One People, Many
Stories shares stories of Passover. The spring holiday celebrates
renewal and rebirth figuratively and literally – it is a time when
Jews remember the Biblical story of the Exodus, the Israelites'
journey from slavery to freedom. Tonight, we'll hear Passover tales
that focus on heroines. Celebrating spring, "A Prayer for the Earth,"
read by Joan Allen, tells of Na-amah, Noah's wife, who gathers the seeds
of the earth while her husband corrals the animals onto the ark. In
"Miriam's Cup," reader Sara Mornell shares the Exodus story from the
perspective of Moses' sister, Miriam. According to legend, she played a
crucial role in the Jews' escape from slavery. We'll also enjoy an American
tale, "The Carp in the Bathtub," read by Estelle Parsons, that pays tribute
to one of the holiday's culinary delights, gefilte fish. Miriam Margolyse
reads "The Magician," a Yiddish classic, in which an elderly couple is visited
by an elusive stranger, who conjures hope and a sumptuous Passover meal. And
finally, "Zayde's Trunk," read by Mike Burstyn, is the story of a more
contemporary exodus to freedom. It recreates the coming of age of a Jewish boy at
the beginning of the 20th century. Fleeing from the pogroms of Russia and landing
on the shores of America, he journeys to the Wild West and, ultimately, makes a
new life in Wisconsin

1400-1430 *BBCR4 Room Of The Passion: A Meditation For Good Friday: Catholic
writer Margaret Hebblethwaite and Jesuit priest Carlos de la Cruz
reflect on the events of Jesus's passion as they describe the 18th
century collection of Indian carvings in the Room of the Passion in
Santa Maria de Fe, a former Jesuit Mission in Southern Paraguay.
Catholic journalist and writer Margaret Hebblethwaite currently lives
in Southern Paraguay, working with base Christian communities in Santa
Maria, a rural village of some 3000 inhabitants. She has a sense of the
sacredness of the place because of its long history of suffering,
initially of the indigenous people at the hands of the colonisers, and
more recently of the peasants at the hands of government during the
oppressive military regime of President Stroessner. Santa Maria is the site
of a Jesuit reduccion (mission) made famous by the Roland Joffe film 'The
Mission'. The Room of the Passion is filled with extraordinarily moving
statues of the Passion of Christ carved by the indigenous in the 18th century.
Margaret talks with Carlos de la Cruz, a Jesuit who was parish priest in Santa
Maria until five years ago and now works as a spiritual director. They reflect
on the history of the reducciones, the Holy Week of Pain under the Stroessner
dictatorship, and what happens today in this rural community as they recall Jesus'
journey to his crucifixion

Curandera." A special presentation of Women's Focus. Elena Avila
is an author, actress, grandmother, registered nurse with a
master's degree in psychiatric nursing — and she's a curandera.
After working as a director of nursing in a psychiatric hospital, she
realized that conventional Western medicine leaves out much of what
makes up a human being — the soul, the individual's spiritual beliefs,
the complexity of human experience, and the need for personalized
treatment. Elena began studying curanderismo, the healing tradition that
she had grown up with in the barrios of El Paso. This health care system
has its roots in the ancient civilization of the Aztecs and is a medicine
of the people that incorporates body, mind, emotions, soul, and spirit.
Elena will offer a fresh perspective on physical, emotional, and spiritual
wellness as she takes listeners on a journey into the world of curanderismo.
She'll talk about the history and culture of this ancient medicine and share
colorful stories of her own personal journey to find her identity as a healer as
well as compelling stories of patients she has treated. Produced by Carol Boss

century saint, historian and scientist, spent most of his life in
the Northumbrian twin monastery of Wearmouth-Jarrow, yet soon

admitted into Dante's Paradise, Bede was obsessed by time, tides and
the exact dating of Easter. His masterpiece, the Ecclesiastical
History of the English People, is widely regarded as the beginning of
British history writing and the first attempt to translate the tribes of
England into a people. But Bede's wider ambition was internationalist: to
unify Celtic, English and Roman Christianity. Professor David Wallace goes
in search of the objects, places and traces of 8th century Northumbria and
finds a culture as advanced and enlightened as anywhere in Europe. With
readings from Bede by Kevin Whately

dreams. Guests include Wes McKinley, Charles Blume, Marcia Brenden and
Linda Vozar Sweet. Also, "Getting What You Ask For": From a children's
literature author, to a composer of avant guard music, to a whimsical
storytelling professional, this program suggests that if you know what
you want, you stand a greater chance of getting it. Or, to extrapolate
from Mic Jagger, you may not get what you want, but you get what you need.

1300-1600 *BBCR2 Two's On Two: It's common belief that Vienna by Ultravox,
Madonna's Crazy For You and Let It Be by the Beatles all reached
number one in the UK - not true! They were held off the top spot by
records that have failed to remain as popular as the song in the
runner-up position. Who were the actors, cartoon characters and soap
stars and what were the television and film theme tunes that stopped
some of the most enduring radio records reaching the top of the charts?
They will all be named, blamed and possibly shamed as Richard Allinson
provides the definitive list of these highly popular also-rans in Two's

Bank's loans are made on the basis of, in the bank's words, "mutual

2030-2100 *BBCR2 Diggin' Diz: 2003 marks the 10th anniversary of the death of Dizzy
Gillespie, trumpeter, composer, vocalist, percussionist and
pianist. Whilst acknowledged as one of the prime architects of be-
bop, Gillespie was the antidote to that genre's often austere image.
He was the be-bopper as showman and, like Louis Armstrong before him,
suffered from accusations of 'cheapening' the music. Like Armstrong he
was also a musical revolutionary. Programme One: Introduction and the
early years in the Carolinas, musical influences from school and the
church, trumpet hero Roy Eldridge, joining the Teddy Hill Band, the big
break - hired by Cab Calloway, falling out with Calloway and musical
experimentation. With contributions from Gillespie biographer Alyn Shipton,
bassist Milt Hinton and DG himself plus music featuring Gillespie on trumpet,
vocals and jew's harp, Sarah Vaughan, Sidney Bechet, Roy Eldridge and Cab
Calloway

0205-0400 *WGN EXTENSION 720: A CRISIS IN TEACHING? G.K. Chesterton once
observed, "Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes
from one generation to another." If such is the case, American
society has some explaining to do. What is going on in our public
schools? Our students consistently rank lower than most others around
the "developed world." Despite heavy expenditures, little has been
achieved in attempts to alleviate the problem. Is teaching to blame?
Two leading education experts, VIVIAN TROEN and KATHERINE BOLES, think
they have the answer. Their new book is Who's Teaching Your Children?:
Why the Teacher Crisis is Worse than You Think and What Can Be Done About
It [NOT! -- instead a show about the Wright Brothers!]

more about sunquake science. In the same way as terrestrial
seismology, astronomers are now able to measure millions of sound
waves that propagate throughout the Sun, causing it to vibrate or ring
like a bell. This technique is known as helioseismology. [believe it or

golden eggs, and never cackled' - the thousands of codebreakers at
Bletchley Park who kept Churchill and Roosevelt one step ahead of
Hitler's game. What's surprising is that the German High Command never
twigged that its highly confidential Enigma communications were being
monitored. Professor Chris Andrew imagines a very different outcome to
the Second World War, one in which the Allies failed to break the code.

0205-0400 *WGN EXTENSION 720: URBAN RENEWAL: Not long ago, the urban
neighborhood seemed a terminally ill species. Millions across
America had fled once-thriving cities for a more relaxed suburban
atmosphere, leaving behind increasingly impoverished and grim
downtowns, with diminishing infrastructure and dwindling hope. Some
cities -- perhaps Chicago is one -- have seen great revivals; others,
like Detroit, seem hopeless. Regardless, the issues of urban decay --
why the problem became so dismal and what can be done about it --
demand a close look. Our guest tonight, ALEXANDER VON HOFFMAN of Harvard
University, has taken his own close look, researching the urban
neighborhoods of New York, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. His
findings are reported in House by House, Block by Block: The Rebirth of
America's Urban Neighborhoods

"tough on crime" policies have left the U.S. with 2 million people
behind bars and some 600,000 being released from prison each year. This
story is a collaboration with the PBS program "Now with Bill Moyers."

1830-2045 *BBCR3 Performance On 3: BBC Symphony Orchestra: Live from the Barbican,
music by two great Hungarian composers, conducted by the Hungarian
conductor Zoltan Pesko. Gyorgy Kurtag, born in 1926, was shut off
from democracy and the 20th century's musical developments for a
large part of his life. Yet he has become a figure of unrivalled
integrity through his unswaying quest for a true, individual means of
expression and his complete dissociation for political pressures.
Bartok too was an individualist: his studies of the folk music of his
country greatly influenced his music - as demonstrated in the Dance Suite
and the ferocious rhythmic intensity of the ballet The Miraculous Mandarin
Bartok: Dance Suite; Kurtag: Messages (Op. 34); Kurtag: Splinters (Op. 6);
Kurtag: New Messages (BBC Cc-commission, London Premiere); including interval
feature around 1930-1950: Letter From Budapest: Since the collapse of
communism in 1989, Hungary has moved from being thought of as an Eastern
European country to one in the heart of the continent. With membership of NATO
secure, the EU lying ahead and a very strong Germany nearby, how does the
country retain its cultural distinctiveness? Last year the Nobel Prize for
Literature was won by Imre Kertesz, a Hungarian writer almost totally unknown in
Britain - what can Hungary do about that? The Anglo-Hungarian poet George Szirtes
investigates. Performance concludes with Bartok's The Miraculous Mandarin -
pantomime (Sz. 73)

1930-2030 *BBCR2 Bing: The Greatest Of Them All? Pat Boone continues the story of
Bing as he moves seamlessly from greatest song stylist to the
world`s most popular entertainer. We eavesdrop on a moment in a
1930s recording date when an unusually recalcitrant Crosby quarrels
with producer Jack Kapp, and in Hollywood when he provokes Carole
Lombard to uncontrollable fury. From a variety of incidents and
anecdotes, we learn something of the complex Crosby personality - from
the apparently easy-going guy who loved to slip off early from the sound
stage onto the golf course or the race track, to the hard working
professional for whom getting it right was all-important. We hear a few of
the treasured moments from records and radio, both rehearsed and unintended:
his marvellous empathy with Connie Boswell and Bob Hope, for example. And we
hear much of the music through which the 20th Century worked and played, from
Please, I Wished On The Moon and Sweet Leilani, to the infamous White
Christmas
2000-2030 *BBCR4 Case Notes: Graham Easton explores prostate cancer, one of the

how men are managing to steer their way through the prostate cancer
maze; from whether to have the PSA test, to deciding which treatment is
best for you, including one of the newer techniques called brachytherapy

broadcasters and they distributed their programmes on audio cassettes
throughout the country. They planned their first illegal broadcast on
May day, in 1993. Ten years later, Bush Radio sees its struggle in the

basement at 178 Seventh Avenue South, in the heart of Greenwich
Village in New York City, makes for an unlikely mecca. Yet to jazz
fans, it has been just that for nearly seven decades. Jazz clubs
come and go, but the Village Vanguard has been a mainstay since 1935,
surviving the demise of the legendary 52nd Street scene only a few
miles uptown. There are few modern jazz greats who have not recorded at

1900-2000 *BBCR4 The Archive Hour: Theatre Of The Absurd: Martin Esslin, who died
in 2002y, was the most influential figure in radio drama in the
1960s and 70s. As head of BBC Radio Drama for 14 years, he
championed the work of Samuel Beckett, Bertolt Brecht, Vaclav Havel
and Harold Pinter, bringing previously unheard playwrights to radio
and to a wider audience. Esslin also coined the phrase "theatre of the
absurd" in a book of the same name, and made it his mission to champion
avant garde theatre. In this programme, Paul Allen reassesses Martin
Esslins work, illustrated with extracts from many of his drama
productions, interviews and broadcasts
2000-2100 *BBCR2 The History Of Psychedelia: David Quantick presents the first of
a two-part documentary examining the changing face of psychedelic
music and charting the progression of the psychedelic movement.
Examining how LSD and Mescaline began as therapeutic and truth drugs,
filtering through to artistic communities and mavericks like Ken
Kesey and Dr. Tim Leary and how society has never been the same again
after the profound effects of these mind bending substances. The
programme asks all the big questions: Was paisley strictly necessary?
Who was selling the best acid in San Francisco? What's the trippiest
track of the sixties? Was the epicentre of Psychedelia really Edinburgh?
How does it feel to take acid at 12 years old? What damage can it do?
Looking at the progression of psychedelic music from avant garde to
mainstream, look at how lyrics, instrumentation, studio techniques and the
heady social atmosphere of rebellion moulded the music. Plus how American and
British psychedelia compare and edging gently into progressive rock, when the
flag of psychedelia was still flying. Also examining the overlooked contribution
of black artists to psychedelia. Contributors include: Donovan, Simon Napier-Bell
(Yardbirds manager and author of Black Vinyl. White Powder), Mike Heron of The
Incredible String Band, Country Joe of seminal SF band Country Joe And The Fish,

Returning to today's landscape she considers the intensive large
scale farming of our modern age, and the growing move towards farming
practices dedicated to protecting the environment rather than boosting
production. National Trust farmers talk how they are now matching their
livestock and farming methods to the landscape to ensure that it remains
intact, moving away from the high yield large animals of modern farming to
the smaller traditional breeds who damage the landscape less. Plus new
produce is now promoted in the local pubs and restaurants to encourage
regionally distinct flavours and foods. Finally, Sheila explores the links
between agriculture and art at the Soil Associations organic farms exhibition

and Placido Domingo. Then, the party heats up with interviews and a
live performance from the Grammy-winning band Mariachi Real de Mexico,
a band that plays weddings, fiestas, and even once at Bruce Springsteen's
birthday party. Members Ramon Ponces and his son, Ramon Ponces, Jr. helped
form the Mariachi Association of New York, which united 12 mariachi bands,
and helped create a mariachi school for young people. What makes this form
of music so popular? Ponce Jr. explained, "If you are happy, if you are down
--- if you want to be romantic, there is going to be a song for that special
moment," Ponce said. "I think that's why people like mariachi music a lot."

Wales, consisting of approximately a half million people out of a
total population of three million whose "mode of everyday
communication is largely through the Welsh language, and whose
cultural transactions take place primarily through forms and
institutions specific to that language. Welsh-language popular music
took on its present-day, recognizably modern shape in the 1960s, fueled
by a burgeoning of cultural assertiveness in the traditionally Welsh-
speaking, largely rural areas of the west and North." This Orgy will
explore 3 major waves of Welsh-language music, from the 1960s until the
present, and the great variety of musical genres represented. It will also
attempt to situate these waves in the historical and societal contexts which
gave them rise as the battle for the survival of the Welsh language waged, and
indeed, still wages on

2300-XXXX *WHRB THE SERGEI PROKOFIEV ORGY: Born April 23, 1891, in Sontsovk, in
the Ukraine, Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev is one of the major
composers of the twentieth century. He attended the St. Petersburg
Conservatory from 1904 to 1914, and studied under musicians such as
Glière, Rimsky-Korsakov, and Tcherepnin. Although he was recognized
as a young man of undeniable talent, his fiery, stubborn, sharply
candid, and brash personality earned him the disfavor of some.
Prokofiev was part of the new breed of anti-Romantics, working against
the tradition stemming from the music of Chopin and Liszt. His earlier
works are noted for harsh and strident dissonances – despite complaints
from his teachers and critics – but his later music adapts a more lyrical
and popular style. Through the course of this orgy, we will hear the
innovation and evolution of his music and celebrate his mastery of a wide
range of musical genres, including symphonies, film scores, operas, ballets,
cantatas, and chamber and solo instrumental works [72 hours straight until

how he says it, and what he says—-and, of the three, the last matters

1700-1100 *WHRB THE EARL HINES ORGY: Earl "Fatha" Hines is considered by many to
have been the first modern jazz pianist because of the rhythmic
and textural innovations he brought to stride piano. His
influential career spanned a full six decades, as he recorded
steadily from the 20's through the late 70's. But more importantly,
and what makes him a joy to listen to, is the palpable sense in all
his recordings that he absolutely loved what he was playing and was
having the time of his life playing it. This 18-hour orgy during the
year of the 100th anniversary of Hines' birth will be a joyful
celebration of his life and music. A native of Duquesne, Pennsylvania,
Hines began his career as an accompanist. After moving to Chicago in 1924
and playing with several Chicago bands, he met trumpeter Louis Armstrong.
Hines and Armstrong recorded together in 1926-28, and their unusually
adventurous recordings remain jazz classics, including "West End Blues" and
"Weather Bird." 1928 was an important year for Hines, as he recorded his first
solo piano sides and also made some now-famous recordings with Jimmy Noone's
Apex Club Orchestra. Finally, on his birthday (Dec. 28) of that year, Hines' own
band debuted at the Grand Terrace ballroom in Chicago, where it would play for the
next twelve years, gaining fame through radio broadcasts and nationwide tours.
Some of the outstanding young musicians who played with this band included
Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Ray Nance, as well as singers Billy
Eckstine and Sarah Vaughan. In 1948, economic difficulties forced Hines to
break up his band, and he spent three years playing with the Louis Armstrong
All-Stars before moving to California and drifting into relative obscurity
by the early 1960's. Then, in 1964, Hines' career was revived when he was
asked to perform in a series of solo and quartet concerts in New York
City's Little Theater. These concerts were the first solo piano recitals
that he had ever given, and resulted in a major renewed interest in
Hines' music that lasted the rest of his career. He continued to
perform and record regularly with his own small groups for the rest of
his life

backgrounds are very different. We hear them in conversation in a

folk music that both men have promoted and which their children and
grandchildren are handing on to future generations

1230-1500 *WHRB THE IVO POGORELICH ORGY: Over the last two decades, the
compelling interpretations of Yugoslavian pianist Ivo Pogorelich
have attracted the attention of audiences around the world not only
for their brilliance but also for their frequently controversial
nature. Indeed, Pogorelich's original rise to stardom resulted from
controversy – in particular, the political controversy surrounding his
elimination from the finals of the 1980 Warsaw International Chopin
Competition, a result which led juror (and winner of the 1965
competition) Martha Argerich to declare Pogorelich a genius and leave the
jury in protest. Pogorelich's playing has since continued to elicit both
high praise and deep disapproval. An L.A. Times review declared Pogorelich
"a musical figure comparable to Horowitz, Padarewski, and Rachmaninov in
setting the style for another era"; the N.Y. Times has called his playing
"two hundred years ahead of his time," and a concert review in the London
Daily Telegraph raved that "It would be offensive to compare Ivo Pogorelich's
playing of Prokofiev's Third Piano Concerto with the composer's own 1932
recording. Offensive because this performance was so infinitely superior to that
or any other I can remember." In contrast, the Cincinnati Enquirer complained in
1999 that "the Belgrade-born pianist managed to mutilate almost beyond
recognition most of Rachmaninoff's famous Piano Concerto No. 2," and a
Philadelphia Citypaper review of the same piece lamented that "as Pogorelich
played, Rachy [Rachmaninoff] must have been turning over in his grave." Yet
the uncompromisingly strong reactions of Pogorelich detractors, as well as
those of his admirers, only testify to the originality of his talent and
intellect. Pogorelich was born in Belgrade in 1958 and began playing the
piano at age 7. Following his classical training at the Moscow
Conservatory, Pogorelich began studies with – and eventually married –
the renowned Georgian pianist and pedagogue Alice Kezeradze in 1976, who
passed on to him the traditions of the Liszt-Siloti school. Pogorelich
continued to maintain a close working relationship with Kezeradze
until her untimely death in 1996 [more, playlist at WHRB; resumes at

pressures: exhibit a high degree of European polish; be original;
create music that would be distinctly American. This debilitating
trio of pressures created the fault lines along which American music
is still divided today, with each composer deciding which mandate to
follow most closely. The result has been two types of American
composers - those who feel like part of the European tradition and those
who base their work on native ideas and materials. One can follow this
apparently permanent divide from the academics versus the homegrown
composers of the 19th century to the New Romanticists versus the art-
rockers and post-minimalists of the 1980s

0200-XXXX *WHRB THE PAUL HINDEMITH ORGY: This year, we commemorate the 50-year
anniversary of the death of Paul Hindemith, one of the most
prolific composers of the twentieth century. Born near Frankfurt in
1895, Hindemith studied violin and composition at the Hoch
Conservatory and became concertmaster of the Frankfurt Opera
Orchestra at the age of twenty. His compositions also brought him
public acclaim and the prominence of being one of Germany's leading
composers. Increasing difficulties under the Nazi regime forced Hindemith
to flee Germany in 1938. He reached the United States in 1940 and became
professor of music theory at Yale University, influencing an entire
generation of composers. Hindemith returned to Europe in 1953 and died in
Frankfurt ten years later. While Hindemith's early music reflects the late
Romanticism of Strauss and Reger, he soon found his own voice after passing
through both Expressionist and Neoclassical phases. Hindemith's mature style is
characterized by clarity of form and a reinterpretation of classical tonality,
which differed from that of his contemporaries of the second Viennese School, who
preferred the atonal system. Hindemith's association with the concept of
Gebrauchmusik ("music for use") led him to write works for children, amateurs,
and instruments underrepresented in the classical repertoire, in addition to the
many great works for which he is most known [continuous until Wed 1900; details

1430-1500 *KUNM Borderviews, "The Decade Of Femicide: Behind The Juarez Murders."
Since 1993, more than 340 young women have been murdered in Ciudad
Juarez, Chihuahua, a city of about 1.3 million people on the U.S.
border that is host to 300 foreign assembly plants as well as a large
-scale illegal narcotics export trade. About 100 of the victims are
believed to have died at the hands of serial killers. Another 300 young
women fitting the profile of rape/murder victims are still reported
missing. Ominously, similar killings are being reported in Nuevo Laredo,
Tamaulipas; Nogales, Sonora; Chihuahua City; and Palomas, a small town on
the New Mexico border. What ties these cases together, besides certain
crime commonalities, is that the victims are young, working-class women with
no voice or clout in society. More than a few observers are calling this
situation gender and class terrorism, and perhaps the greatest known case of
femicide in history. The Juarez slayings have become an issue of international
human rights, reaching the forums of the United Nations and the Inter-American
Commission on Human Rights of the Organization of American States. Nonetheless,
the killings and disappearances continue with impunity. This documentary probes
the Juarez women's murders and examines why effective action hasn't been taken to
stop them. Listeners will hear ambient sounds and the voices of victims' family
members, former Mexican government officials and human rights activists. Expert
commentary from El Paso Times investigative reporter Diana Washington Valdez
and Mexico City journalist Sergio Gonzalez Rodriguez, the author of the
explosive new book "Huesos en El Desierto" (Bones in the Desert). Produced
by Borderviews 2000 with support from the KUNM Producer's Fund

1230-1300 *BBCR4 Land Lines: Brett Westwood presents a new location-based puzzle
series, all about reading the landscape - the built and natural
landscape - to uncover the lines that have linked people to a place
throughout history. Why did people settle there? How has the
landscape and natural history shaped the human history? How have
people in turn shaped the landscape? And, most importantly, how can
you read that story in the landscape today? Each week, Brett takes two
'landscape detectives' to a place that they don't know and sets them the
challenge of reading the story of that landscape armed with a package of
cryptic clues provided by local people. The connections they find might be
to do with food, farming, industry, transport, religion, folklore, wildlife
or a particular feature of the landscape - heath, sea, river, woodland,
mountain, fen. And the place itself can be anything from a village to an
island to a city. This week, the programme is set in the fields around a
Gloucestershire village.

1900-1400 *WHRB THE FUGAZI ORGY: For slightly over fifteen years the band Fugazi
has revolutionized the world of underground rock, always defying
definitive labels yet at the same time inspiring critics and pop-
culture scholars to invent terms such as "post-hardcore" and "emo"
to describe their ingenuity and ever unique sound. Fugazi's steadfast
independent ethics and ability to create beautiful and evolving music
earned them notoriety beyond the traditional punk rock and hardcore
scenes, but they never lost the loyalty of their natural fan base and
have acquired an almost mythical status across the musical spectrum. This
orgy is a thorough retrospective of the music of Fugazi from their
earliest work of 1987 to their most recent releases in 2002. Although the
format is chronological, there will be three distinct segments. The first
will be the band's easily available music, contained in eight full albums and
two singles. The second will encompass the harder to find music, including
bootlegs, outtakes, and live recordings spanning Fugazi's career. The third
segment will consist of side projects of band members during the 1987-2002
period, including Pailhead, Black Light Panthers, the All Scars, Lois (w/Brendan
Canty) and Joe Lally's metal band

insurance play in California's health care system? Weigh in on these

1400-2400 *WHRB THE CARLO GESUALDO ORGY: Don Carlo Gesualdo, Prince of Venosa
(c1560-1613), was a wealthy Italian nobleman whose greatest claim
to fame for centuries after his death was the infamous murder of his
wife and her lover in their estate outside of Naples in 1590.
Ultimately, though, it is his dramatic influence on the musical
language of the Renaissance and early Baroque for which he will be most
remembered. He was the most avant-garde Italian composer of his time,
stretching the traditional rules of harmony to an extent that was not
surpassed, many say, until Wagner. His music is dramatic and
expressionistic, reflecting (sometimes to an almost painful point) the
nuances of his texts. His excruciatingly chromatic vocal writing is some of
the most difficult music from the period to sing. Gesualdo received musical
training as a child and began composing music from an early age. Several years
after the murder of his wife, for which he was never brought to justice,
Gesualdo moved to Ferrara, the center of Italian musical activity in this period,
and married a Ferrarese noblewoman. This new location brought him into contact
with some of the most active composers of his day, as well as some of the most
skilled performers;. With this new community, his music took a dramatic turn and
continued to show the influence of Ferrara even after he moved back to Naples. His
indelible harmonic style becomes clearer than ever in the later works. We present
a survey of his music from the entire span of his compositional career,
culminating in a wrenching performance of Gesualdo's complete Tenebrae
Responsories, the last work published during his lifetime and, as many would
have it, the pinnacle of his creative output

0000-XXXX *WHRB THE ARISTA/FREEDOM ORGY: When former Columbia Records president
Clive Davis (HLS, '56) was fired for alleged embezzlement of
company funds in 1973 (despite the fact that he had doubled
Columbia's share of the market in three years of his leadership),
those familiar with Davis knew that he had been far too successful
to simply disappear from the industry. Indeed, one year later Davis
moved on to found his own company, Arista Records, named after his high
school honor society. Davis would remain president of Arista for 25
years (today he is president of yet another new company, J Records), and
though Arista has more recently been defined as a pop/R&B label, in its
early days it was occasionally more musically adventurous. In particular,
between 1975 and 1979 Arista released a series of excellent jazz recordings
ranging from post-bop to the cutting edge of the avant garde, making Arista
the only major record label at that time to introduce a new line of
contemporary/avant garde jazz albums to rival the Polydor ECM series. Like the
ECM series, these Arista releases came from a European source: in this case,
producer Alan Bates' Black Lion Label in Britain, and especially Black Lion's more
avant garde subsidiary, Freedom records. Since these Freedom recordings (some
recorded as early as 1962) had never before been available in the US, and since, as
reviewer Chris Albertson put it in 1975, "the list of [Arista/Freedom] artists
reads like a Who's Who of American musicians who have had to look to other
countries for measurable recognition," Arista's releases were a rare opportunity
for this very important American music to actually be heard in America. (For
Chris Albertson's full review of the first seven albums of the Arista/Freedom
series, see http://www.allaboutjazz.com/reviews/r0175_004.htm This 36 hour
orgy will feature a chronological survey of as many of these fascinating but
often difficult-to-find albums as we can get our hands on. Artists to be

broadcaster Charles Shaar Murray presents the first in his four-part
series profiling four iconic and influential jazz guitarists: Charlie
Christian, Wes Montgomery, John McLaughlin and Sonny Sharrock. In the first
programme, Charles Shaar Murray looks at the life and work of Charlie
Christian. Working in the late 30s and early 40s, primarily in the bands of
Benny Goodman, Christian was the first player to establish the electric guitar
as a jazz instrument. Alongside Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, Christian
was also a major contributor to the development of the bebop style of playing.
However, Christian died at a tragically early age, and this may also have been a
crucial episode in the story of the guitar in jazz

of East Europeans living in Displaced Persons Camps in Germany. Nearly
100,000 were brought here as volunteers, and the many who stayed founded the
East European Communities of Northern England. In the early 1980s the Bradford
Heritage Recording Unit interviewed dozens of Ukrainians, Latvians, Estonians

2000-2100 *BBCR2 This Year's Love: The David Gray Story: At one time it seemed that David
Gray was destined to remain a 'should have been', an artist unknown to the
public and cherished only by a few. By the Summer of 2001 he had sold over
ten megaalbums and won no less than seven international music prizes. This
programme tells the remarkable story of Gray's amazing self-belief which
helped to catapult him into being a million selling artist. For David Gray,
his highly acclaimed White Ladder album broke all the rules. It was the
antithesis of big budget sterility, and a project that set about to create
something for nothing and next to nothing by the book. In This Year's Love, Kate
Thornton tells the revealing story of the artist hailed by Q Magazine as the XXI
century's finest new singer-songwriter of his generation. In an industry where six
figure production budgets are ubiquitous, the success of David Gray is enough to
restore faith in an independent artist's ability to reach millions. With mellow,
pastoral melodies, impassioned vocals and excellent acoustic guitar work that have
become his trademark - David Gray is one of the greatest reversals of fortune of recent
years

a small-town girl fresh out of college, lands the job "a million girls
would die for." Hired as the assistant to Miranda Priestly, the high-
profile, fabulously successful editor of Runway magazine, Andrea finds
herself in an office that shouts Prada! Armani! Versace! at every turn.
Andrea is sorely tested each and every day--and often late into the night with
orders barked over the phone--but she puts up with it all by keeping her eyes on
the prize: a recommendation from Miranda that will get her a top job at the
magazine of her choosing. As things escalate from the merely unacceptable to the
downright outrageous, however, Andrea begins to realize that the job a million
girls would die for may just kill her. And even if she survives, she has to decide
whether or not the job is worth the price of her soul
2200-2230 *CBCR1 The World this Weekend: South Africa is outlawing flimsy plastic bags.

1600-1700 *KGOU American Radio Works: Hard Time: Life After Prison: This special looks at
the impact America's 30-year war on crime has had on communities and
families. The war shows signs of winding down - arrest numbers have flattened;
"three strikes" laws are being scaled back; the prison building boom is over -
but decades of "tough on crime" policies have left the U.S. with 2 million people
behind bars and some 600,000 being released from prison each year. *In the Northeast
Central neighborhood in Durham, North Carolina, the War on Crime has shaped three
generations. The community started feeling its effects in the 1960's as more and more
young men began disappearing for months and years at a time. * More than ten million
children in the U.S. have experienced one or both parents in prison. We follow one
family - Mom is a recently released ex-con with two sons; Dad is in prison - as they
recreate their lives. * A staggering 7% of the adult population has been found guilty
of a felony, and though the average sentence is three years, the consequences of a prison
record last a lifetime. Most will leave prison poorly educated, broke, and with few job
prospects

Wallace, The Memoirs of Frank Stanton features Stanton's remembrances of his
life and career, as told to the Oral History Department of Columbia University
in a series of interviews spanning 10 years. Stanton, who has been called "the
conscience of broadcasting" and the "greatest broadcast executive of all time,"
was also a confidante of U.S. presidents from Harry S. Truman to Lyndon B. Johnson.
He was the driving force behind the formulation of televised debates between
presidential candidates, starting with the Kennedy-Nixon debates of 1960. Stanton
made his greatest mark on the broadcasting field when he refused a Congressional
subpoena to release non-air notes and tapes relating to the 1973 CBS Reports
documentary, "The Selling of the Pentagon." The ensuing vote by the U.S. House to hold
Stanton in contempt of Congress - and Stanton's victory - helped lay the groundwork for
the Constitutional protections broadcast journalists enjoy to this day. The Memoirs of
Frank Stanton is written by Perry Wolff, produced by PattiRai Rudolph, and narrated by Mike

tourist experience can't be outlined in a glossy brochure. SEGMENT 1: Jamaica
Kincaid excerpt: Jamaica Kincaid was born in 1949 on the island of Antigua- an
island which did not achieve independence until 1981. Under British rule, the
colonists attempted to turn Antigua "into England" and the natives "into English"
without regard for their native culture or homeland. In this excerpt taken from her
book- In A Small Place- Kincaid explores the concept of the tourist, or outsider,
from the native's perspective. Producer: Brent Clough, The Night Air; Links: ABC's
Night Air; Jamaica Kincaid. SEGMENT 2: The "Stans" - Part 1: The Savvy Traveler's Ben
Adair recently witnessed what can only be called the grandest of all social experiments.
It was called Stan Trek - named because all six countries on the tour's itinerary end in
"Stan" - and the plan was to take a small group of people through the wilds of Central
Asia. Hit Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, the countries of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan
- and finally, a quick visit to Afghanistan. That was the plan. However, experiments don't
always work and in fact sometimes, hypotheses are better left untested. Producer: Ben Adair,

0200-0300 *WFIU AMERICAN MAVERICKS: "Oh, To Be Popular!": As the 1920s celebrated the birth
of the machine age, American composers were surprised to find that Europe was
looking to them as the key to the future of music. There was so much money
floating around that commissions were numerous, and composers tried to outdo
each other in modernist innovations. The age was summed up by George Antheil's
Ballet Mecanique, written "like a solid shaft of steel," with its worship of the
machine and its decadent excess of airplane propellers and 16 player pianos. In
this heady milieu, composers were caught completely off-guard by the Great
Depression. A turn toward leftist politics began to demand simple music for the
proletariat. The most public and successful turnaround came from Aaron Copland, who
simplified his style away from dissonance and jazz rhythms toward quotation of folk
song. "I wanted to see if I couldn't say what I had to say," he wrote later, "in the
simplest possible terms." Quotation of folk songs became de rigeuer in the 1930s, brought
to a populist climax in Virgil Thomson's works such as The River and The Plow that Broke
the Plains

committing to his long-time love. As a bi-sexual man, can he honestly promise to
be faithful to one person, to the exclusion of all others? Dan Hart's documentary
is not only an intriguing exploration of sex and love, it's an intriguing
exploration of sound and story telling. In fact, it kicks off a special week on
Outfront of experimental story telling, called "Deep Wireless." "Deep Wireless" is an
Outfront co-production with Charles Street Video and New Adventures in Sound Art.

1900-1500 *WHRB THE PANDIT PRAN NATH ORGY: The North Indian vocalist Pandit Pran Nath of the
Kirana gharana (school or family) came to New York and quickly drew a large
crowd. Composers Terry Riley and Charlemagne Palestine studied with him, as did
trumpeters John Hassell and Don Cherry. Ornette Coleman went to his gigs.
Outsider philosopher and Americana-raga fiddler Henry Flynt spent time with him.
Father of minimalism La Monte Young and his wife, the light sculptor Marian
Zazeela, became his chief students, carrying this ancient vocal tradition on to this
day. Pran Nath's range and accuracy of tone were legendary, as was his biography:
according to La Monte Young's program notes, Pran Nath served his guru day and night
for much of his youth, eschewing sleep so that he might practice alone through the
night in the jungle outside of his master's residence. When his teacher died, he spent
much of his formative years covered only with the ash of the fire from the shrine to
Shiva in a remote cave temple, singing for the gods alone. Pran Nath's recorded output is
sparse, but covers much of his American years, from the lion-toned recordings of the 1970's
to the performance with the Kronos Quartet of "Soon It is My Turn, Oh Lord" shortly before
his death. We will also play some of the diverse music from students of Pran Nath, including
all 5 hours of La Monte Young's just-intoned minimalist landmark "The Well-Tuned Piano."

part to IBM, the personal computer had become perhaps the most important
invention since the printing press. How did it evolve to become such a vital part
of our lives? And what further evolution is to be expected? Three relevant guests
join us tonight in this discussion. One of them, KEVIN MANEY, has just authored The

band, completely irreverent and afraid to play anything beautiful." Luckily,
things picked up from there, and John Lurie's record label, "Strange and Beautiful,"
is now an apt description. The Lounge Lizard's music draws from nearly every possible
influence, including jazz, punk, funk, world music, and even film scores. Famous alums
include Marc Ribot, John Medeski, Billy Martin, and Arto Lindsay. Leader and
saxophonist John Lurie is both a brilliant composer and a successful actor, both acting
in and scoring a wide variety of movies, including "Get Shorty" and "The Last Temptation
of Christ," and "Stranger than Paradise." This orgy will include the music of the Lounge

improv scene and documented with great depth on the Radical Jewish Culture series
of Zorn's Tzadik records. The original Masada featured Zorn on alto sax with Dave
Douglas on trumpet, bassist Greg Cohen and drummer Joey Baron. The quartet produced
10 albums for the Japanese DIW label before Tzadik took over with a series of live
releases (including last year's First Live, a record of the group's first ever time
playing together). In addition to the quartet recordings, we will feature interpretations
of the Masada book by various chamber groups, New York bands and a special guitar trio,
featuring the finest players of the scene: Anthony Coleman, John Medeski, Cyro Baptista,

they can have a sizeable overall warming effect on our climate. So far, researchers

studying these clouds in the laboratory, and the results are already being used by the

Texas Alexander. He developed his own rare talent with guitar and vocals, often
playing with little or no preparation. Lightning often came to the recording studio
with only his guitar and no sheets of paper with music or lyrics to guide him, simply
carving out lyrics and playing guitar until the studio engineers said they had enough
stuff recorded. We take a look back at his extraordinary career, through good and bad,
highs and lows, and a blues that touches the soul

1700-1730 *BBCR3 Jazz File: Detour Ahead: 2. Wes Montgomery: Writer and broadcaster Charles
Shaar Murray continues his series profiling four iconic and influential jazz
guitarists: Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery, John McLaughlin and Sonny Sharrock.
As a solo voice in jazz, the guitar has often been thought of as secondary to the
trumpet, saxophone and piano. Focusing on these key players, the series explores
the instrument's position in the music, from the early years to the present day. In
this second programme, Charles Shaar Murray looks at the life and work of Wes
Montgomery. Recording and playing in the '50s and '60s, Montgomery was arguably the
next most important guitarist to emerge following Charlie Christian's death in the
early '40s. The technical and stylistic advances he made with the instrument influenced
a whole generation of players, and not just in the jazz world. Jimi Hendrix, for example,
adopted some of Montgomery's trademark techniques in his playing. Montgomery's laid-back,
swinging style also made him extremely popular with the record buying public, and he
achieved a surprising degree of commercial success towards the end of his career
1730-1830 *BBCR3 Bath Festival Song Weekend: Dichterliebe: Live from the Assembly Rooms at Bath
International Music Festival. Presented by Iain Burnside. When the poetry of
Heinrich Heine met the music of Robert Schumann, a unique alchemy took place.
Schumann's song-cycle Dichterliebe is a peerless representation of young love -
its joys and its pain. Schumann's masterpiece is framed by an English answer to
this combination: the music of Gerald Finzi, illuminating the poetry of Thomas Hardy.
Bittersweet in a different way, Hardy casts his own highly personal light on the
vulnerability of love

2000-2100 *KQED Radio Specials: Inside Out: Casino Reservations: While Native Americans may
have hunted their last buffalo on the plains long ago, and suffered decades of
poverty and marginalization, Indian gambling has now allowed for a previously
unimaginable economic rebirth on tribal lands. Casinos are turning out to be the
"new buffalo." In this program, Anthony Brooks reports on the immense wealth that's
being generated from the gaming tables, and asking "Who benefits?"
2000-1100 *WHRB THE JOHANN NEPOMUK HUMMEL ORGY: Considered during his time to be one of the
greatest composers and pianists, Johann Nepomuk Hummel's relative obscurity
today may partly be due to the overshadowing reputations of Mozart and Beethoven,
both contemporaries of Hummel. He was an astonishing prodigy, and his reputation
for more than half a century was that of a typical 19th century virtuoso. Yet when
examining his lesser-known unpublished works, we find an great mastery of the
Classical form and a proto-Romantic style best represented in his chamber works,
particularly in his works for solo piano. Hummel was one of the finest representatives
of Viennese Classicism, and his music is slowly being reexplored and appreciated.
Though not among the immortal giants of music history, Hummel represents a lasting
influence for those who both admired him and reacted against him
2100-2200 *KQED Soundprint: Segment One: "Snacktime, Naptime, Computer time." Now new
technology initiatives are bringing computers into preschools, driven by the
assumption that if children don't begin early, they fall behind. But is this
really true? How do very young children learn, how do their brains develop, and
does pointing, clicking and hyperlinking affect their neurological and social
development? Early childhood education specialists weigh in on a government funded
statewide program and a corporate international computer initiative which aim to make
toddlers computer literate. Segment Two: "First Words." Prompted by the early efforts
of her son, Kate Howells of the British Broadcasting Corporation set out to discover
how we go about learning to talk. Do all babies start off with the ability to speak any
language? Why are the words 'Mummy' and 'Daddy' so similar in every language? What goes
on in a baby's mind and mouth before he is able to produce his first words? Linguists and
psychologists share their experiences

1630-0300 *WHRB THE ERICH KLEIBER ORGY: WHRB pays tribute to Erich Kleiber (1890 - 1956), one
of the most undeservedly neglected of 20th century conductors. He was known in
his time as the rival of Furtwängler, Walter, Klemperer, and Toscanini, and
remembered today as the father of Carlos Kleiber. Because he never held a
permanent post after World War II, he did not leave a large body of recorded work.
But his bracing, unsentimental, direct style was decades ahead of its time, and
provided thrilling results in concerts throughout Europe and North and South America.
We will hear some of his most memorable opera and concert recordings, in roughly
chronological order

back to time immemorial. At its highest levels of achievement, the sound of a
great choir in the perfect acoustical setting is positively ethereal. The
internationally acclaimed Dale Warland Singers create that awe-inspiring sound in
Cathedral Classics, a stunningly beautiful music special hosted by Tom Crann. As it
has done in anticipation of Easter for many years, the ensemble performs in the
reverberant Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis. The concerts are extraordinary,
creating an hour of riveting ancient, traditional and contemporary choral originals
and arrangements. From the growling basses in the music of Russian masters Golovanov
and Chesnokov to the familiar sound of Mozart's Ave Verum Corpus and Poulenc's Mass in
G Major, Cathedral Classics sets a tone that is at the same time somber and glorious. We
will also hear music of Bloomington's own Cary Boyce
0200-0300 *CAINAN Joe Frank: Dreamland
0200-0300 *WFIU AMERICAN MAVERICKS: It Don't Mean a Thing, If It Ain't Got that Swing":
Separate as their audiences may seem, jazz and classical musicians have always
kept an ear on each other and learned from one another. Charles Ives worked
ragtime into his piano music in the 1890s; Scott Joplin, the king of ragtime,
wrote an opera in 1911; "Duke" Ellington learned from the orchestration of Debussy
and Ravel. In the 1920s, jazz appeared to be the essential pedigree composers needed
to make their music seem authentically American, and it does seem at times that a
jazz sense of rhythm is our primary national musical distinction. Inspired by
erstwhile jazz figures like Rosco Mitchell and Muhal Richard Abrams, the free
improvisation of the 1980s was the most thoroughgoing of many attempts to fuse two
musical streams. For most of that decade, jazz and avant-garde music were nearly
indistinguishable

stories of noted historian Eric Foner, journalist and historian Joy Hakim, legendary
folksinger and activist Pete Seeger, and musician, scholar, and civil rights veteran
Bernice Johnson Reagon

drink it everyday, but few of us know the effects it has on the world's economy,
or even on our own bodies. Also, how to brew the perfect cup. And, using grounds
to divine the future. The world's most popular pick-me-up, next time
0300-1700 *WHRB THE CHARLES-VALENTIN ALKAN ORGY: Charles-Valentin Alkan (1813-1888) is one of
the forgotten greats among 19th-century composers for the piano. Busoni ranked
him, along with Chopin, Schumann, Liszt, and Brahms as one of the five greatest
piano composers since Beethoven, yet because of his reclusive personality, he
failed to establish himself fully in the musical society of his native Paris. His
musical output, which remains largely unknown by the general public, contains some
of the most powerful, virtuosic and original piano music ever composed. Alkan took
his Jewish faith very seriously, and also significant are his religiously inspired
compositions, such as the Prayers for Organ
0430-0530 *KUNM Radio Theater, "El Mozo Regresa" and "The Dubliners." "El Mozo Regresa" (The
Kid Returns) is a poetic remembrance of the sacred calvario at the top of Tomé

Melcori, and performed by Candela, Anna Berry (Edwin Berry's granddaughter), Gerard
Bezzeg, and Ramón Torres. Produced by Rachel Kaub for Albuquerque Radio Theatre. "The
Dubliners," James Joyce's collection of short stories distributed by Harper Audio, is
represented by two selections: In "The Sisters," Patrick McCabe reads of a young boy
coping with the death of his mentor. In "An Encounter," Frank McCourt tells of boys who
escape a dreary existence via tales of the American Wild West
0500-0600 *KQED Tech Nation with Moira Gunn: speaks with Doug Rushkoff, a professor of

1700-XXXX *KBYU Elegy - A Memorial Day Special: It is a trial faced by everyone at sometime in
life: the death of someone near to us. Whether it is the passing of a friend or
a relative, the experience is always a difficult one. It is rarely easy to say
goodbye to people who have meant so much to us. Their absence can leave a deep
void. Psychologists tell us that one of the reasons memorial services are so
important is that they provide an opportunity to express our grief, to pay tribute,
and to bid our last farewells. Over the centuries many composers have responded by
turning to the process they know best - composition. KBYU-FM honors Memorial Day this
year with Elegy, a special program of excerpts from Brahms' Nanie, Rodrigo's Concierto
de Aranjuez, Suk's Asrael Symphony, Howells' Hymnus Paradisi, and Rutter's Requiem
1700-2400 *WHRB THE YURI BASHMET ORGY: This year, world-renowned violist Yuri Bashmet
celebrates his 50th birthday. To honor this event, we present seven hours of
selections from his recordings, ranging from works by Schubert and Brahms to
Shostakovich and Schnittke. Bashmet was born in 1953 and grew up in Lvov, Ukraine.
In 1971 he began his studies at the Moscow Conservatory, studying first with
Beethoven Quartet violist Vadim Borisovsky and later with Fyodor Druzhinin. In 1976
Bashmet won the Munich International Viola Competition, which marked the beginning of
his solo career. He was the first violist ever to give solo recitals at many of the
world's great concert halls and has done more than almost any other violist to
popularize both the instrument and the repertoire. Aside from mastering traditional
repertoire, Bashmet has been the inspiration for numerous modern works for viola, many of
which we will hear during this Orgy, and which are marked with an asterisk in the listings

Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Sonny Boy Williamson, and Memphis Slim.
1230-1300 *BBCR4 Practice Session: The time set aside for practising is one of the most
undocumented, intimate and secret periods of a professional musician's existence
- never seen by audiences or critics. It is a time of discovery, of decision-
making, of frustration when things just don't go right, or of surprise and elation
when something goes unexpectedly well. There are the times when musicians see a
piece for the first time and groan with horror at all the semiquavers. And there is
the endless repetition to make a phrase absolutely perfect. This programme explores
what practising means to three leading concert musicians - the cellist Steven Isserlis,
the pianist David Owen Norris and the flautist Philippa Davies - as we eavesdrop on
their routines and rituals at home, far away from the glamour of the concert stage

1600-0900 *WHRB THE MOUNTAIN GOATS ORGY: It's more than a buzzing. It's closer to a hiss, but
most of the time you would probably describe it as a whirring. The sound comes
from a Panasonic RX-FT500 boom box and it haunts the majority of songs by The
Mountain Goats, who have been releasing tapes, 7-inch records and CD's since the
early 1990's. With a mixture of smart lyrics, Latinate aphorisms, vocals sung from
the depths of the soul, and a guitar strummed so frenetically it would have to be
made of Kevlar to withstand the abuse, The Mountain Goats have produced a gigantic
discography rife with truculent toads, creeping tragedy, and motiffs like the "Going
To" and the "Alpha" series songs. Much of the Mountain Goats' beauty is captured within
the single and sometimes unnoticed moment. What this orgy proposes to do is to expand
that moment, blow it up into seventeen sparkling hours which will refuse to go unseen or
unheard, and then rend each hour apart like the limbs of Pentheus, devouring what we can
while doing our best impression of rabid Maenads riding Arabian tigers

1930-2030 *BBCR2 It Rained, But We Cheered: On June 2nd 1953, Elizabeth II was crowned at
Westminster Abbey. To a Britain struggling to emerge from the difficult post-war
period, it was a much needed shot in the arm. Rationing was still in force,
'austerity' was the watchword and not even the Festival of Britain in 1951 had
managed to put a universal smile on our faces. Amongst the gloom was an emerging
British theatre and cinema, and foreign travel was at last within reach of ordinary
people, but there was a war in Korea, thousands of people had died in smog-gripped
London in the winter of 52 and Britain's much loved King George VI died in 1952. Then
in Spring 1953, the whole country began to look to a new era - rations were pooled, new
televisions were bought and London was transformed to celebrate the moment the gold
coach transported the new monarch to her Coronation. And if that wasn't enough, just
before the day itself coded messages came chattering in on the wires, of another success
for Britain and the Commonwealth. Everest, the towering peak that had defeated generations
of the world's greatest mountaineers was conquered at last, by a British-led expedition. In
a two-part series, Sir Trevor MacDonald presents the story of the Coronation and the era it
marked. In part one, archive accounts and contemporary interviews, set against a musical
soundtrack from the time, provide a snapshot of early-fifties Britain

production in the South American nation. One of the Plan Colombia's main strategies
is the spraying of coca and opium poppy fields. But these are often located next to
crops such as sugarcane, bananas and maize. The lives and livelihoods of millions of
people have already been affected, and now there are plans to fumigate Colombia's

This week: Yucca Mountain/Nuclear waste -- After years of research and lobbying,
Congress has voted to locate a permanent nuclear waste dump at Yucca Mountain in
Nevada, 100 miles northwest of Las Vegas. Yucca Mountain is intended to safely store
high-level radioactive waste from nuclear power plants across the country, but
critics say the site is unsuitable and was selected for political, not scientific,
reasons, over the vehement objections of the majority of Nevada citizens and
politicians. Is Yucca Mountain a safe place to stash our nuclear trash? Will shipments
of radioactive waste be easy targets for terrorists? In this edition of NPR's Justice
Talking, Margot Adler hosts a debate between Angie Howard of the Nuclear Energy Institute,
a lobbying group for the industry, and Joan Claybrook of the anti-nuclear advocacy group
Public Citizen. The program includes questions and comments from a live audience in

experience of Rwanda, Bosnia, and elsewhere, has proven that the phenomenon has not
subsided. What motivates the perpetrators of genocide and why did the 20th Century
witness mass destruction of peoples on such unprecedented levels? ERIC WEITZ, our
guest this evening, has studied four of the major genocidal outbreaks (Stalin's war
against his ethnic enemies, the Nazi Holocaust of the Jews, the Cambodian genocide

space race. Spurred on by the $10 million X-Prize, more than 20 teams have
joined the competition to send a privately built rocket -- with passenger -- into
space, twice in 14 days. Is this the first step to a space tourism industry? Plus,
launching a solar sail. In the second hour of the show: Space is giving up some of
its secrets -- at this week's meeting of the American Astronomical Society,
astronomers shared news of a supernova "factory," the best measurements yet of a
gamma-ray burst and evidence that planets may form much quicker than previously
thought. Plus, a look at an early warning system for earthquakes
2006-2100 *WPRi Kathleen Dunn: Americans are sorely misinformed about what rights are

own. Guest: George Landrith, president Frontiers of Freedom Institute
2030-2115 *BBCR3 Night Waves: The celebrated neurologist of feeling, Antonio Damasio, talks to
Paul Allen about unlocking the secrets of joy and sorrow in his latest book
Looking For Spinoza. Why Spinoza, the 17th century philosopher? Damasio calls him
a 'protobiologist', firmly linking mind and body, saying that he paved the way for
modern ideas of neurophysiology, including Damasio's own. Damasio examines this
linkage, which ran counter to all scientific and religious thinking of Spinoza's day,
and lays out the reasoning and evidence behind its truth. In doing so, Damasio, who
is head of the department of neurology at the University of Iowa Medical Center,
explores one of the greatest mysteries left in science - the interaction between
emotions and reason, and consciousness
2100-2130 *BBCR2 Ball Over Broadway: In the third programme of the series, Michael catches up
with the acclaimed revival of Man Of La Mancha, the musical adaptation of Don
Quixote. One of the biggest Broadway hits of the 1960s, the show stars Brian
Stokes Mitchell as Cervantes, and follows his attempts to escape the vengeance of
the Inquisition by telling the story of Don Quixote to an unofficial jury of his
fellow-prisoners. Michael wonders how well Man Of La Mancha has survived and how
much it has been re-invented for todays tastes

0205-0400 *WGN EXTENSION 720: THE BOOKS OF THE QUARTER: Another edition of our quarterly book
review program is upon us. Milt has challenged our panelists with a wide array
of recent works in history, biography, science, religious studies, and the arts,
plus several works of fiction. John Ruskin wrote: "All books are divisible into
two classes, the books of the hour, and the books of all time." We'll see if any of
tonight's choices reach into the latter category or if our show becomes, to
paraphrase Logan Pearsall Smith, "the gilded tomb of mediocre talent."
0300-0400 *KQED Commonwealth Club: Panel - War with Iraq: Perspectives in Coverage. The
Pentagon's strategy of "embedding" journalists with military units created a new
type of war news coverage and sparked a vigorous debate about the nuances and
balance of that coverage. How successful were journalists in maintaining
objectivity when the army was feeding them rations as well as information? Just
back from Iraq, Mike Cerre of ABC and Larry Warner of CBS expound upon their
experiences as embedded reporters. San Francisco Chronicle Editor Phil Bronstein and
Stanford Journalism School Director Ted Glasser join in to discuss the pros and cons
of embedding and the challenges of conveying unbiased, accurate information in wartime

invention and its development has been spurred by war and social conflict

gardening, looking at the influence of the Northamptonshire landowner who wanted
a landscape for his gnomes and the diminutive Yorkshireman who described his
alpines as 'sulky' but who changed our view of the rockery
1505-1600 *CBCR1 Quirks and Quarks: Aspirin's Aspirations: for more than a century, aspirin has
been hailed as a miracle drug. When it comes to headaches, pain and inflammation,
there is arguably no cheaper and more effective remedy than aspirin. Then doctors
discovered that it was also a powerful and effective weapon against heart attacks
and strokes. Now researchers are finding that a daily dose of aspirin could help
prevent a wide range of other ailments and diseases as well, from Alzheimer's to
colorectal cancer. But they've also found that it kills hundreds of Canadians every
year from gastric bleeding. So are the benefits worth the risks? Also, the perilous
peregrinations of the pygmy seahorse [+1/2/3/4 hours]
1530-1600 *RN AMSTERDAM FORUM: Noam Chomsky is guest in this week's Amsterdam Forum. The
outspoken critic of current US foreign policy had this to say about the impact
of the US-led war on Iraq: "The message is that the Bush administration intends
its National Security Strategy to be taken seriously, as the "test case" [Iraq]
illustrates. It intends to dominate the world by force, the one dimension in which
it rules supreme, and to do so permanently. A more specific message, illustrated
dramatically by the Iraq-North Korea case, is that if you want to fend off a US
attack, you had better have a credible deterrent. It's widely assumed in elite circles
that the likely consequence is proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and terror,
in various forms, based on fear and loathing for the US administration, which was
regarded as the greatest threat to world peace even before the invasion. That's no small
matter these days. Questions of peace shade quickly into questions of survival for the
species, given the case of means of violence." + 15220 [repeated at 0030, 0500]
1600-1700 *WQXR MAKING MUSIC IN MONACO: The Grimaldi Forum's exhibition of the paintings of
Andy Warhol this summer will be described by Sylvie Bianchieri, the Forum's

Piano in E-flat, performed by Aldo Ciccolini and the MCPO led by Sylvain Cambreling,

1630-1654 *BBCR4 Back Row: In a special edition, Jim White spends twenty-five minutes in the
company of one of cinema's greatest stars. On his 73rd birthday, Clint Eastwood
- actor, writer and director - reflects on the 59 films hes acted in - from the
iconic, taciturn outlaw of the Spaghetti Westerns to the tongue-in cheek astronaut
in Space Cowboys - and the 26 films he's directed. His latest, the thriller Mystic
River, has just been in the main competition for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film
Festival
1700-1800 *WHYY BEEN THERE DONE THAT with Marty Goldensohn: Marty Goldensohn takes us on the
road and visits the world's largest model train museum and other roadside
attractions. He talks with John Mac Faragher about the American ongoing impulse
to "go west," John Timpane on Odysseus as a metaphor for "gotta go," Gwenda Blair
rereads Kerouac, and life during the reign of the one million watt station on the
Mexican border (where Wolfman Jack and many others got their fame.) Also the
unwelcome Hepatitis C epidemic. Music, humor and more on this week's archive edition
of BTDT. Visit our website at http://www.whyy.org/btdt for information, links and all

1730-1900 *BBCWe Play Of The Week: We Are Water: In a collaboration between the Royal Court
Young Writers' Programme and BBC World Service drama, 12 young writers have
written a play on the theme of water
1900-2000 *BBCR4 The Archive Hour: Still Room In The Tower: With those words, the Earl Marshall,
in charge of rehearsals for the 1953 Coronation, threatened BBC cameramen with
what would happen if they stepped out of line. It was a reminder, if any were
really needed, that this event presented the BBC with the biggest challenge
broadcasting had yet faced. The story of how the Coronation was brought to the
small screen is heavy with anecdotes vividly remembered by those who were there, a
story rich in intrigue as Prime Minister Winston Churchill fought the Corporation
over the Queen's privacy and royal officials worried away about the broadcasters'
intrusions. The heroes of this story are the engineers and producers who battled
against terrible odds to flash pictures the entire length of Britain, pushing their
technical knowledge to the limits, daring even to bounce pictures to Europe with
equipment and techniques which these days appear as antique as the penny farthing cycle.
Some producers, engineers, cameraman and sound mixers who engineered the coverage are still
alive. The memories of others are enshrined in sound archive. This is their story. With the
help of the BBC archive, and freshly gathered material from those who were there on the day,
this programme provides glimpses behind the scenes, and paints a picture of a youthful
television service about to grow into adulthood
2000-2100 *WNYCf The No Show Episode #43: This is the second of two programs devoted to the life
and art of legendary folksinger and political activist, Pete Seeger. The program

2000-2100 *KQED Radio Specials: The Memoirs of Frank Stanton: This program is a profile of Dr.
Frank Stanton, CBS president for over 25 years and champion of First Amendment
rights for broadcast journalists. Narrated by CBS' 60 Minutes correspondent Mike
Wallace, the program features Stanton's remembrances of his life and career. He
has been called "the conscience of broadcasting" and "the greatest broadcast
executive of all time."
2100-2145 *BBCR3 The Verb: Ian McMillan presents original poetry by Adam Thorpe, the final part
of Peter Blegvad 's current cartoon series and the result of The Verb's 'Tom
Swift' competition.
2100-2200 *KQED Soundprint: Segment One: "Game Over." Do video games dull the brain and turn
boys into violence craving delinquents? Yes, at least according to popular
opinion. However, while psychologists do see an increase in violent tendencies
after game playing, they also note that boys who play video games learn new
technologies faster in school. So exactly how can video games become an educational
tool in the school and home? Producer Chris Brookes goes behind the scenes to
examine the educational values of video games and their impact on classroom learning
today. Segment Two: "Digital Equity." Whether it's a one room schoolhouse, a bilingual
high school, or a magnet school, technology plays a significant role in the 21st century
classroom.... And therein lies a story about an unequal playing field and a process that
isn't as simple as it seems. Districts not only grapple with obtaining the technology but
they have to figure out what to do with it once it enters the classroom. Access, support,
training and vision now become pieces of the classroom technology puzzle. Producer Kathy
Baron examines the issues in Digital Equity
2101-2200 *BBCWa Play Of The Week: We Are Water: In a collaboration between the Royal Court
Young Writers' Programme and BBC World Service drama, 12 young writers have
written a play on the theme of water [Note: other airings are closer to a
sesquihour, so this one may be too]
2106-2200 *KPBS GEENA DAVIS: A WAY WITH WORDS: Is the English language biased against women?
Academy Award-winning actor Geena Davis joins hosts Richard Lederer and Charles
Harrington Elster for a conversation about gender and language, the language of
women's sports and more. In addition to her acting, Davis was an Olympic semi-
finalist in archery at age 40 and has become an activist for women in sports.

box. Kurt Andersen and his guest, the painter Chuck Close, explore how the grid
can liberate artists even as it frames them in. We hear how composer Morton
Feldman began writing music on graph paper--he decided that staves were for
squares. Urban planner Marilyn Jordan Taylor, whose firm is designing 7 World Trade
Center, leads Kurt on a tour of city streets, finding magic in New York's fractured,
staggering grid

HOLIDAY SPECIALS 2004-2005
[Note: this is a work in progress: ONLY THE ASTERISKED STATIONS ARE
CURRENT AND CONFIRMED. Others are from last year`s file, and some
of those still have their 2003 schedules up. Some have had obvious
changes from 03 to 04 made in case such a link be shortly
activated. We`ll keep checking.] [WBOI continues thru Jan 6]
