REPORT TO THE LISTENER
Cutting the Marathons— Can It Be Done?
In the beginning, listener supported radio raised
money throughout the year by asking for contributions
with brief announcements throughout the day. Fund-
raising "marathons" were instituted as an emergency
measure in financial crunches or at the end of a fiscal
year that had lagged financially.
Now, we have almost turned that on its head. We
schedule three "marathons" each year, totaling 62
scheduled days (and often running over) and we neglect
to ask for listener support the other 303 days of the
year. The "marathons," true to their name, t< 1 to
wear down both listeners and programers and become
tedious. Yet, driven by financial need, they continue.
How else to raise $100,000 in a short period of time?
The alternative is to raise funds continuously by
reminding our listeners often, but with short, unob-
trusive messages, that we need your support. To make
it even easier for listeners to respond, we have installed
a pledge line, 2793407. You can call anytime and
leave your pledge on the answering machine. You will
receive a bill in the mail for your pledge, unless you
elect to use a credit card. If we can average about 20
pledges each day, we could raise enough money to cut
the marathons in half.
So, I appeal to all programmers to announce the
pledge line number at least once during each program.
And I appeal to listeners to call and pledge now so
that, hopefully, we can think about cutting the length
of future marathons.
Ah Been Lisnin' Since 1953
Have you? Well what on earth did it sound like?
This January WBAI celebrates its 25 th Anniversary
as a Pacifica station. And we want to have a celebration
not just that day, or week, or month, but the whole
year. We hope to involve as many people, memories,
tapes, and events as possible — in effect to have one
gigantic 25th anniversary reunion. And to strengthen
the station to embark upon the second 25.
Did you work or volunteer at WBAI in the past? Do
you have old tapes, or other souvenirs of WBAI
history? A complete collection of Folios? Or just
memories that might be unique — that extraordinary
program that you remember at 2 AM on an evening in
1963? Maybe you remember what WBAI sounded like
before I960, before it was a Pacifica station?
Yes, we want it ALL!!! Please write to us at: WBAI
25th Anniversary, 505 Eighth Avenue, New York,
N.Y. 10018. Please do not call or you'll just drive
Fred crazy, and your message will probably get lost.
Congratulations! !
Two WBAI producers have won prestigious Arm-
strong awards for their radio programming.
Paul Lazarus, who produces "Anything Goes" here
on Sunday afternoon was the runner-up in the Music
category for his program ' 'Stephen Sondheim On
Writing Lyrics."
Kathy O'Connell, who is on our air late Friday
nights, is part of the production team at WNYC-AM
who received a runner-up award in "Creative Use of
the Medium" for WNYC's children's program,
"Small Things Considered."
Well-deserved congratulations to both.

and Public Affairs departments bring us a six-hour

Tuesday, September 11 at 7:30 PM. A WORLD

on Friday, September 28 at 7:30 PM, from the
Irrternational Affairs dept.
September is the time of our fall marathon
(September 10-30) with many specials planned for both
in and out of our fundraising period. For the 'I-can't-
stop-dancing' listeners: A CARIBBEAN MUSIC
EXTRAVAGANZA, ten hours of toastin' and

A DAY OR ROCK & ROLL, Sunday, September 30.

There are many other programs to read about in this
Folio. Look 'em up, listen, and, if you are already a
member, tell your friends how to join WBAI. We need
thousands of new subscribers this month— and we need
your help in reaching out to them. It's easy to see that
the sooner we get through the fundraising, the sooner
we get back to regular programming. We can't promise
that you'll have a good time immediately after dialing
our 24-hour pledge line (212) 279-3407, but calling
will help cut down marathon time, and wouldn't that
make you feel good?

People
Pat Rich, our Folio Editor since last Fall, has become a
full-time member of the WBAI staff. Until now Pat has
been doing the Folio in her spare time, if you can
believe it. Pat will also be involved in a variety of other
administrative support work, including volunteer coor-
dination and publicity. In celebration, our volunteer
professional carpenter. Anton Hok. with the assistance
of Tom Wisker, built an entirely new office where none
had been before. Our thanks to them and welcome.
Fat, t" the fabulous garment district.
As 1 write, the music director selection committee
has conducted the first three interviews and scheduled a
dozen or so more out of the 76 applications received.
Meanwhile, current Music Director Richard Barr got
tired of hangin" out so he eloped with Linda Perry, a
former BAI inmate now with the Canadian Broad-
casting Corporation. A hearty bon voyage to both!
Your Folio — Late or Never?
Our Folio mailing list is finalized early in the
previous month. For e.xample. the list for this Folio was
finalized on August 6. New subscriptions or renewals
not received in time must wait until the next Folio list
is made up.
This is a special problem for those who pledge during
the May marathon, since we publish a combined
July/August issue for the summer. Therefore, we did a
second mailing of our Summer Folio to over 1,000 new
subscribers in late July so thai you would receive the
Folio, though late.
Otherwise, our subscriptions director. Allen
Markman. has been very diligent in keeping the
subscription list as accurate as possible. If you are hav-
ing anv subscription problem, please write to
"Subscriptions. WBAI. '505 8th Avenue. N.Y.. N.Y.
10018." Include your subscriber label if possible.

Sharon Mattlin. The Maori, a Polynesian culture, are
the indigenous people of New Zealand. While maintain
ing their sacred traditions, the Maori are emerging as a
modern, bilingual society. In August 1983, Laura
Simms and Steve Gorn visited New Zealand as guests
of the Maori and attended their ceremonies. This, the
first of a four-part series, will air in conjunction with
"Te Maori," the first Maori art-exhibit ever, opening
this month at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

satile seven piece blues band, Copeland may well be
considered one of the most significant modern com-
posers of new blues music. His stunning electric guitar
work and intense vocals will be highlighted by selec-
tions from his recent albums. Johnny and Tom also
performed together on acoustic guitars and taped a few
of Johnny's most recent tunes in an impromptu studio
jam specifically for this program. (Engineered by Dan
Finton; and, edited for broadcast by Karen Marie
Robben.)

1670, but also rare examples of early teawares from the Continent,
China, Japan and Korea. Diana Morris will review this exhibit on
Arts Extra on Friday, September 7. She will discuss relationships
between Eastern and Western socuil and religious customs
expressed in the service of tea.
LIVE RADIO SPECIAL, SATURDAY,
SEPTEMBER 8, II AM to 2 PM. Produced by Paul
Mclsaac. This two part show begins with:
CLASS WAR IN GREAT BRITAIN, 1984 .
In 1974 WBAI sent Paul Mclsaac to Great Britain
to cover the striking coal miners. The miners
eventually won that strike and helped topple the
conservative government of Prime Minister Edward
Heath.
Ten years later, this same reporter has returned to
Great Britain to find the National Union of Mine
Workers in another strike . . . and facing another
conservative government, Margaret Thatcher. This
strike is not over wages, hours or conditions, but over
pit closures that would mean not only the end of their
jobs but possibly their towns and their union.
The program then concludes with:
THE FUTURE OF SOCIALISM IN GREAT
BRITAIN .
Less than 200 years ago a revolution began in
_England that has since spread to much of the world
Ltoday. In Great Britain the descendants of craftsmen
"and workers who built that revolution find themselves
caught between a reactionary government and the
failures of their own labor party. This program is a
discussion of the' future of socialism in Great Britain. It
features the left-wing labor leader, Tony Benn and
author and philosopher, Raymond Williams.

AN EVENING OF ENGLISH POETRY,
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 7:30 PM to 10 PM.
The Shakesf>eare Liberation Front presents an evening
of English pxjetry, with performances liberating poetry
from the text and the dusty shelves of academia.
Directed by Simon Loekle.
The first thing to do
in hearing poems is not to try
and understand them at the start
. . . but to listen.
The arts are sensual in their intention
to impress. Let the poem
come to you.
Put all you have into trying
to hear the poem, hear it.
Otherwise, how can you know
it is a poem?
— William Carlos Williams

RONALD REAGAN AND THE PROPHECY OF
ARMAGEDDON: THE FINAL VERSION. Pro
duced by Joe Cuomo, with research assistance from
Larry Jones. Saturday, September 29, 10:00 am.
If you heard the May or June broadcasts, you
haven't yet heard the final version of this highly ac-
claimed documentary. What you haven't heard yet are
some of the most telling interviews — with Pat Boone
(whose prophecy discussions with Reagan are the
earliest we have found), with George Otis (who pro-
vides perhaps the most detailed accounts of Armaged-
don exchanges with Reagan), with Herb Ellingwood
(whom Boone describes as one of the "key sources"
for Reagan's knowledge of prophecy), and with Walt
Hanson (who witnessed an apocalyptic discussion be
tween Reagan and Billy Grafiam) — as well as important
new research and tapes.
So, whether you've heard the earlier broadcasts or
not, tune in Saturday morning the 29th for the most
comprehensive study of Ronald Reagan's end-of-the-
;World oratory that now exists.
George Wald has said: ''Ronald Reagan and the
Prophecy of Armageddon is overwhelming .... I'll
never be the same again."
Pete Seeger says, "Joe Cuomo has done an extraor-
dinary job of digging into the record of our President."
Dr. Michio Kaku: "These tapes are absolutely chill
ing, a terrifying vision of the future. Every American
must listen to Ronald Reagan and the Prophecy of
Armageddon y

Since many of the museums listed in the summer Folio have
not yet set their fall programs, they were unable to give us
specific information. Hang onto your July/August Magic
Times column and call the different places during September
and find out what's going on.
I'd like to recommend some books that have recently been
published. Burr Tillstrom (of Kukla, Fran and OIlie) has
written a charming fairy tale with the Kuklapolitans as
characters. It's called "The Dragon Who Lived Downstairs,"
with illustrations by David Small (Morrow Press). Paul
Goble's book, "Buffalo Woman," is a lovely retelling of a
Plains Indian legend and is illustrated by the author (Bradbury
Press). Two books with Romper Room characters are fun:
"The Romper Room Bedtime Storybook" has 9 exciting
stories, and "The Romper Room Birthday Word Book" is
informative and interesting and features a full year of
events— holidays too. Both books are well illustrated
(Doubleday). Two wonderful photo and prose books from
Lothrop, written by Maxine B. Rosenberg with excellent
photos by George Ancona are "My Friend Leslie," the story of
a handicapped child, and "Being Adopted," the story of three

intercultural adoptions. Both books deal with the realities of
the situations, the feelings of the children and of their families
and friends, and are a wonderful way to help children both in
and out of such situations to understand what it is like and
how much we all have in common.
Three I can read' books from Harper-Row which I think
will be popular (one is an old favorite of mine) are "The Case
of the Hungry Stranger," "Oscar Otter" and "What Hungry
Stranger. ' These are great fun for reading aloud to the
children, and as they start with the reading process in school
they can read for themselves — a very pride-creating ex-
perience.
"Magic Time ' — the radio show — will be off the air most of
September because of the Marathon, but we'll be back in
October with new shows and fun. Have a happy September

FORTUNE SOCIETY
IS BULLISH ON CRIME
PREVENTION
It costs 590.000 to build one prison cell
To maintain one inmate in a cell add
anotner 525,000 a year, and tnere is little
evidence that the prison experience
reduces cnme Often incarceration works
to accelerate hostility and violence
Counseling, tutoring, and job place
ment are the key weapons in Fortune's
battle against crime
Fourteen years ago the Fortune Society
began a unique brand of rap session—
exoffenders who've gone straight, talk-
ing to ex-offenders who've just come out
of prison This one-loone counseling
program worked Next Fortune began a
pb placement service, but something
was missing Many of the rnen and
women coming to Fortune had no
marketable skills, an average reading leve
of 2nd grade, and marginal motivation
Literacy became an important arena The
Fortune Society developed a one-toone
futonng program to increase the reading
levels and matfi skills of its ex-oflenders
and youngsters in trouble In 1981 over
200 siu<)ents participated in Fortune's
tuionng program Now equipped with
the ability to read and wmte the ex-
offender had the tools he needed to find
an altemaDve to cnme and make it m ttie
straight world

REPORT FROM
THE LISTENER
HANKS, REVEREND
Dear Judy Harrow:
Thanks so much for the
wonderful show on 'Liberation
Theology" on 'Lightshow'.
Your program transmitted the
excitement of this movement.
Best wishes,
Ed Foley
CHURCH
COVERAGE?
Hi WBAl Friends:
I am a part time staff person
at BWARE. the Brooklyn
Women's Ami Rape Exchange.
1 already am a subscriber but
decided to get this subscription
in addition so 1 can share the
Folio with our BWARE
volunteers.
I am a loyal listener and
appreciate many of your
programs, especially Diane
Lacey, David Rothenberg, Mike
Feder, Fred Herschkowitz, the
Women's dept. programs, the
lesbian/gay programs and the
Science Report. Eve missed
Paul Gorman more than you'll
ever know. And what ever
happened to 'Equal Time for
Athiests'.-' Someone should be
doing exposes of the Church!
My best to you,
Pam McAllister

CAN I HAVE A
WITNESS?
Dear Joe Cuomo,
Congratulations on a splendid
program— that on Reagan's
eschatology. It's one of the
finest programs I have heard so
far on WBAl (and I am a
listener of many years' ex-
perience). I wish you success in
your attempts to have other
radio stations broadcast it, for I
feel very strongly that all
Americans should hear its
frightening implications — not
only the mostly already-
converted BAI listeners.
Sincerely, and sincerely con
cerned,
Marion Palmedo
NYC
Let me congratulate you for
compiling this alarming account
of the thinking of our chief
executive and of those he listens
to. I live in a hotlsed of
Republicanism, and I can't wait
to subject some of the people
here to your cassette.
Sincerely,
Sophie S. Ward
Locust Valley, NY
Loved your programs on the
Rapture. Played a tape of one
for a priest and for some
Jehovah's witnesses, as well as
friends and family. All were left
speechless.
Great going!
Yours.

Margaretville, NY
QUOTES OF
THE MONTH
■ 'Sljinuir: Peres is sii dull,
he makes Waller Mandalc
look like Jesse Jackson.
— Sheldon Ranz
on the Middle
East Report of
August 7th.
"... Once [Paulj Krassiier
l}ad me throw the IChing
to see if I should throw
the I-Ching out the window . . .
— Wavy Gravy
with Bob Fass
on Radio Unnameable
of August 14ih.
GONGED
Ed — Some listeners take their
pledge participation very
seriously. Recently, during a
fundraising marathon, Lynn
Samuels asked over the air
where l/er replacement was.
Had Paul Gorman gotten stuck
on the subuay}Evidently. one
listener thought she meant
potential pledgers held up by a
slow train. Well, the matching
fund pledge and the followup
check proves that this m<in was
definitely on the couch that
day:
Dear WBAl:
I wasn't "stuck on a sub-
way." I was listening to you
like I always do when I grab a
little rest on my office couch.
You don't think I watch
commercial TV, do you.-'
THAT would drive me nuts.
Keep on keeping on. You'd
be surprised who loves you!!!
Love,
Chuck Barris

its programming are welcome.

From Susan L. in San Fran
Cisco:
"1 am writing this letter to
tell you of my deep appreciation
for your radio station. Last
week I was visiting New York
for a conference and I happened
to discover your station on
Mother's Day. It was like
coming upon an oasis in the
desert.
"As I am too far away for
my radio to pick up your
airwaves, I have bought a gift
subscription for my good friend
who lives in Woodside.
"Keep up the wonderful
work."
From Dennis L. in Danbury,
CT:
"This subscription is a step
toward upgrading my low
budget subscription and in
appreciation of Simon Loekle's
efforts on Saturday mornings
and at other times. "
From Jane C. in Stonv Brook,
NY:
"I have gotten many hours
of pleasure from WBAl since I
came upon it by accident about
l'/2 years ago. It was
responsible for my only
speeding ticket. I was so in-
terested in a program on El
Salvador that I missed a sign
and got caught in a speed
trap."
