Electrical expert Charles W. Oliphant '41 built the transmitter, while William W. Tyng '41 did the paperwork and fundraising. Lawrence P. Lader '41, the station's programming director, recalls that Oliphant's transmitter was "only five or 10 watts--just enough to send it through the pipes...
...studio and all we could afford was to buy a few turntables and microphones," says Lader. To block out sound, they covered the walls with blankets. The station's first broadcast was less than two hours long, but included a Jazz program, a discussion of classical music, and a news report...
...legal observers seem prepared to bet next Sunday's collection plate that the court will tamper with the church's tax status. But Lawrence Lader, president of the plaintiff Abortion Rights Mobilization, suggests that the suit could have a restraining effect anyway.

More sobering than the suit, perhaps, were the results at the ballot box: Frank, Shannon and McGovern all won their primaries...

To the non-Marxist unfamiliar with the "humanist" ideas of Marxism, this "reinvigoration" of Marxist ideals does not make sense. To the Marxist, it may even appear...

But why should a confessed liberal writing about Leftist movements by any more suspect than a CIA-sponsored professor writing about foreign policy or a member of the privileged class setting down his version of the history of the American people? Indeed, it would be ridiculous to insist that this book be purely objective. Like Walter Cronkite reading the casualty reports during the Vietnam War, the author's feelings do occasionally overcome his carefully documented (some 40 pages of notes and sources) facts...
