During the fateful summer of 1966, a handful of restless and frustrated deejays in New York and San Francisco began to conceive of a whole new brand of radio, one which would lead to the reinvention of contemporary music programming. Gone were the screaming deejays, the two minute doowop hits, and the goofy jingles. In were the counterculture sounds and sentiments that had seldom, if ever, made it to commercial radio. This new and unorthodox form of radio--this radical departure from the Top 40 establishment--reflected the social and cultural unrest of the period. Underground radio had...

Humanity has always been at work on the concept, and one of its names is religion.

Religious themes must include a confrontation with evil, and this story tracks the protagonist through the Southwest as thousands of perverts follow and slander him,...

In 1946, legendary broadcaster Norman Corwin traveled to 17 countries to document the postwar world for the radio series, One World Flight. Here, recently discovered and now published for the first time, is his personal journal of that historic trip.

China has been growing at over ten per cent annually since 1978, but this has only come to very widespread notice in the past decade.

The second set of voices is more clearly from the left, arguing that the Chinese economy, and...
