[lbo-talk] fundraiser

[Doug Henwood]

I'm doing my WBAI fundraiser this afternoon, 4-6 PM NYC time. If 
you've got any inclination to give the station money, please pledge 
during my slot so my numbers look good. I've edited all the 
interviews, and I must say, they're pretty damned fine.

WBAI is at 99.5 FM and <http://wbai.org>.

"State of the Empire" - a look at Bush's America, at home and abroad. 
Guests (in order of broadcast):

Barbadian immigrants to Britan) on politics and civil liberties in 
the U.S., comparisons of the Patriot Act to British policy around 
Northern Ireland, and race relations in the U.S. vs. UK

* Cynthia Enloe, famous for her gender analyses of the military, on 
masculinity and the Bush administration and torture in Iraq (what 
does it mean that so many of the prominent accused are women?)

Press, April 2004), on the U.S., Iraq, the UN, and the WTO
