To Henry, I would say this:  The federal funding that PBS has received has

fallen significantly in the last 10 years.  PBS is PUBLICLY funded more by

straight donations than by tax dollars.  When was the last time you gave to

your local PBS station.  Because so few people give, the corps have been able

to move in with their big bucks and control programming.  We as concerned

citizens should be very interested in supporting PBS financially rather

than giving up.

        Herb Schiller's book _Culture Inc._ is a criticism of the privitization

of public outlets like PBS.  I recommend it.  I also recommend turning on your

TV to PBS right now and calling in; it is telethon month.

                Support PBS.
