July 21, 2005 HIGHLY TRUNCATED EMERGENCY FUNDRAISER EDITION. Most of this show was taken up with begging, since WBAI is in dire financial straits. Please help the station out by calling +1-212-209-2950, or visit here <https://www.wbai.org/cart/> to pledge on the web. (In either case, be sure to specify it's for "Behind the News.") This week's content was supposed to be an interview with Barbara Ehrenreich on the crisis facing organized labor on the eve of the AFL-CIO convention. Little of it could be broadcast because of the urgency of raising money - but the full interview is on the web.
