Pardon the digression from Virginia Euwer Wolff.

I miss the music and music programmers on OPB's air.  "In House" is a poor substitute for David Christensen's Eclecticity, Steven Cantor's Beats and Pieces, and their predecessors.

It is natural that crowding out music programming with news and information attracts news and information listeners.  Even their positive response does not prove so little local music programming is the right amount.

I feel love of my country when it lives up to its ideals.

Unfortunately, nowadays I have to settle for its failing short of its ideals less badly. Recently, I had that feeling when the Sup. Ct. held something approximating that people cannot be put into a black hole, losing all remedy and therefore anything approaching rights.
