Doug. there seems to be fundamental element of KPFA (Pacifica's) founding 
philosophy that you are missing: "KPFA grew out of the conviction of Lew 
Hill and a small group of fellow World War II pacifists that the best hope 
for peace in the dawning nuclear age was open dialogue between people of 
different points of view. They actualized these ideals in a 
listener-supported radio station which would offer ideas not products. 
Broadcasting for the first time in April 1949, KPFA became a rare voice for 
cultural and ideological pluralism during McCarthyism and the conformist 
1950s. Alan Watts, Langston Hughes, Dylan Thomas, Allen Ginsberg and Linus 
Pauling shared the mike with *Caspar Weinberger, Edward Teller, the father 
of the H-Bomb, and the John Birch Society*."
