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. >Bill
