MANAGER'S NOTES: ..lear Members and Listeners, O ur Spring 2004 Membership Drive is upon us and yet it seems like only yesterday I was wishing all of you a peaceful New Year. Here at KALW, we haven't had a moment to refJect... we've been so busy. That is the price to pay when a station embodies its mission -local public radio that is not passive bul active. According to audience research, it is paying off - KALW has grown a substantial audience and they're listening longer. Will that translate to better financial support for the station? Hope- fully, YES! Remember: the San Frandsco Unified School District retains the license for the station but does not financially support our efforts - you do. Programming Notes: I was remiss in the last program guide not to thank Alan Farley for his work in helping to bring the Berkeley Symphony Orchestra to the KALW airwaves. Alan, through years of cultivating relations with our local arts and culture organizations, made BSO on KALWa reality. We thank him. Alistair Cooke retires, and will be missed on KALW. His signature program, Letter From America, has been in existence almost as long as KALW has - 58 years! The BBC will be broadcasting Letter From America for a few more weeks, but after that, it's over. And KALW will!1Q! have the rights to re- broadcast Letter once the BBC pulls it. Given that Alistair is 95 years old, he deserves an honorable retirement. We will miss -im. We are thrilled to announce a new program this Spring - Writer's Voice Radio, Sundays at 6:00pm. The show is a collaboration with Science Interchange, A Clean Well-Lighted Place for Books. and KALW. While the program vVhnt's the Word will no longer be heard on Sundays, we may be bringing on some special programs in the future from "",at's the Word. Meanwhile, Writer's Voice Radio will not only bring 10 you exciting authors' readings, but will also offer a calendar of book events at independent bookstores throughout the Bay Area and interviews with local booksellers about what they're reading. We thank our collaborators, and KALW's Roman Mars who has played an integral part is launching the program_ Writer's Voice Radio - a great new additiDn to KALW's Sunday afternoon literary line-up.

There are LOTS ofways that you can help support KALW ..consider these:
Gift Planning For KALWFrom its first broadcast on March 10, 1941 to its 24 hour
programming today, 91.7 KALW has been enriching the livesof audiences for more than 60 years.
KALW is a highly valued resource in the Bay Area and isdependent upon the generosity of its listeners, some of whomprovide gifts to KALW from current assets and their estates.
There are a variety of ways to make important contributions that meet your financial goals and help guarantee 91.7KALW's future.
Wills And Living TrustsThe most common way individuals may provide for
KALW in their estate plans.Vour gift through a will or living trust supports KALW's
award wiruting radio programs and a variety of otherinfonnation and entertainment shows.
You may choose to make an outright bequest to KALW byleaving a specific dollar amount, or a percentage of yourestate. Some people leave the residue or part of the residue oftheir estate to the station.
The process of induding KALW in your will or trust issimple. The following is a sample of a bequest language:
"I give (_ percent ofmy estate) or (the residue ofmy estate) or($_specific dollar amount) to 91.7 KALW Information Radio, aCalifornia non-profit radio station for its general use and purposes.91.7 KALW Radio is located at 500 Mansell Street, San Francisco,California 94134."
Yow attorney or financial advisor may need KALW's taxJ.D. Please call 415-841-4121 for that information.
Real Estate, Retirement Plans, and InsurancePlease see your attorney or financial advisor for all Gift
Planning
Real EstateA gift of residence, a vacation property or other types of
real property is a creative way to make a meaningful gHt to91.7 KALW and receive tax benefits. The benefits include acharitable income tax deduction for the fair market value ofthe property, avoidance of capital gains tax on the property'sappreciation at the time the gift is made, and potentiallyreduced estate taxes and probate costs.
A gift of real property can also be used to fund a charitable remainder trust, proViding you an income over yourlifetime.
Retirement PlansNaming 91.7 KALW the beneficiary of yow IRA, a Keogh
plan, or other retirement plan may reduce estate taxes for youor your loved ones. Under current tax law, if you leave yourretirement assets to heirs, those assets arc first subject toestate taxes, then to income taxes - frequently resulting in acombined tax burden of more than 70 percent.
You may name KALW the primary beneficiary of yourretirement plan or specify an amotmt from your retirementplan and receive a tax deduction and other benefits for yourgenerosity.
Life InsuranceMany individuals have life insurance policies whose
benefits they no longer need. If this applies to you, you maywant to consider naming 91.7 KALW the beneficiary andassigning KALW ownership of the policy. You will receive acharitable deduction; and if you are removing the lifeinsurance policy from your estate, you may reduce yourestate taxes.
Stocks And SecuritiesFor those of you who wish to donate stocks or other
securities to KALW, you may now do so through an accotmtwe have set up with a local brokerage. For more informationcall us at 415-841-4121.
IIii'II'II Special Announcement

other programs, recently received a $200 million dollarbequest from the estate of Joan Kroc. Mrs. Kroc loved NPRand its presentation of news and culhae. She £elt it was herwindow to the world. As a result, NPR's programming futureis strong and secure.

Why This Night:A Passover Spedal
A conversation between Rabbi Ismar Schorsch,Chancellor of the Jewish Theological Seminary, and
host Larry Josephson, focusing on the Seder, a ritual mealthat recolUlts the escape of the Jews from slavery in Egyptand their eventual arrival in the Promised Land. Thisdiscussion will touch on the history, liturgy and foods of
Passover.The dialogue is mixed with the music of Passover,
selected by Cantor Marcia Tilchin, who has chosen someof the most beautiful and moving Passover music avail
able, some from her own private collection, a treasure
trove of rare recordings of sacred and secular Jewish
music.
embodied the promise of a new South Africa, and Keanedocumented the optimism of the nation's leadership and itscitizenry. Today, many blacks complain that, in effect,apartheid still exists. At the same time, many whites feel thatthq're now discriminated against in the competition foreducation and jobs. So how far has South Africa moved fromits painful past, and how ready is it for true reconciliation andrebuilding? While some of the people who led the genocide inRwanda in 1994 have been arrested and tried, and manycommunities have attempted their own process of reconciliation, many of the slaughter's perpetrators have escapedjustice. Keane tracks down several of the people he met adecade ago to learn how they have fared. His award-winning1994 coverage included his confronting the Bourgmester ofRusomo, Sylvestre Gacumbitsi, about his role in the killings.This particular story has come full circle - in July 2003, 'Keanetestified in the Gacumbitsi trial, part ofU.N.'s InternationalCriminal Tribunal for Rwanda.
Age of EmpireIs the United States really the most successful power inhistory? Is it actually misusing some of its power, and shouldit be more skillfully adapting its message and methods topreserve its influence in years to come? Jonathan Marcuspresents"Age of Empire .." a three-part series that looks indepth at the United States' pivotal role in world affairs andasks why and how the U.s. has arrived at this position ofglobal dominance. The u.s. provokes strong emotions. Howdo ordinary Americans see the world and how do otherpeople see America? How are the apparent contradictionsand paradoxes to be explained? Is Washington"s influencefated to decline just as all previous major uempires" have seentheir powers wane? And jf so what other power centers mightstep into the breach? Marcus talks to influential figures inAmerican society, ordinary citizens of the U.s., and a cros.sseclion of the global public to gauge what makes America'srole so controversial and how America's foreign policy mightchange to encompas.s some of the concerns of its critics both athome and abroad.

Holy WarsMark Duff investigates the extent to which religion is at theroot of armed struggle in the world, and asks whetherreligiously motivated conflicts are different from other formsof war. Is there any justification for describing current tensionsbetween Islam and Christianity as a holy war, and have theterms "jihad" and "crusade" been corrupted by those lookingto define the world in tenns of a dash of civilizations? Toanswer these ijuestions, Duff travels to the United States,Pakistan, Israel, and Sudan, and shares how people withpassionately held religious beliefs justify violence.Holy Wars considers whether there can ever be an end toreligious conflict when those who fight feel they are blessedby the god they revere.
Cancer BaHlelinesAndrcw Luck-Baker prcsents this two-part examination of thebattle against cancer. Program one looks at viruses that triggercertain cancers, for example, cervical cancer, the most commonamong women in the developing world: It explains howfmdings from the Human Genome Project could result inijuick and accurate tests for susceptibility to many cancers. Itthen turns to stTiltegies for tackling cancers at their earlieststages. Hopes are high for more accurate early-detection testsand for drugs and novel therapies that control buddingabnormalities.In program two of Cancer Battlelines, Luck-Baker talks toresearchers about the treatment of well--established cancers.Techniques include using a geneticaUy engineered vimsdesigned to seek out and destroy glioblastoma, the deadliestof brain cancers, and using a gene therapy to make breasttumors commit cellular suicide.Researchers also discuss their hopes for beating advancedcancer ~ a fonnidable opponent when cells have spreadthrough the body. New "smart" drugs hold promise, as dogenetic therapies that bolster immune systems againstmalignant cells. Medical researchers look to a fulure wheremalignancies are as controllable as high blood pressure anddiabetes an' today.
Pushing for ProductionAnimal-keeping uses more land worldwide than any otherhuman activity. In developing countries.. human populationgrowth, increasing urbanization, and rising incomes arepredicted to double the production of livestock and demandfor livestock products over the next 20 years. What's more,livestock production is moving from temperate and dry areasto warmer, more humid, disease-prone environments, and thenumber of large-scale, industrial production units dose tourban centers in developing countries is growing fast. InPushing for Production, Susie Emmett thoroughly examinesthe practicalities of getting greater productivity from farmedanimals. The two programs review the nutritional .. physical,and medical advances that arc rclevant to anyone who eats orkeeps animals, and consider how the production of livestockand its products can improve. Reporting from a variet}' offarms.. Emmett investigates the practices of large-scaleoperators, and asks whether the world has reached a barrierbeyond which it cannot push animals to produce. She alsoconsiders whether smaller-scale operators can achieve asmuch or more and for similar or less total cost.

Elaine JohnsonKALW Listener/Supporter since 1999
"To those of you children who believe that personalattraction ends at sixty...welt it doesn't. 1have been in lovewith Alistair Cooke for thirty-three years. It all began in 1971with Masterpiece Theatre's production of "The FirstChurchilk" Over the years we together, Alistair and I,laughed at "Jeeves and Wooster/' grieved over "StmsetSong," were amused by "Upstairs, Downstairs." And thenthere was the weekly Letter From America on KALW. Whatbetter way to form a relationship than to read the samebooks, watch the same television programs, and examine theevents of the day. But it wasn't just a soul-to-soul relationship. Alistair is so handsome: dapper in small check shirtsand tweeds, blue of eye, fine of feature and robust in coloring. Altogether a lovely man. And so when West Coast Liveinvited Alistair to its Saturday taping [May 6, 1995-ed.1 I wasthere. And he was as always, humorous, articulate, and selfeffacing. He admitted that he had made a hurried hip to the100 just before the taping began, and only just managed todraw the zipper on parts private, but he said, "A spentsparrow seldom leaves its nest," making the audience roarwith such unstuffy, lovable wit. Well, Alistair, perhaps it isfitting that during the week that 1 learned that the reddouble-decker bus will no longer ply the streets of London, Ialso learned of yow retirement. How enormously sad, whatan immense loss. But remember, you lovely, dever, wittyman that you have been loved and loved well."

Lessons I Learned From My Wife
by Marty Nemko
N o matter how many booksI've read or experts I'veinterviewed, I find I've
grown most from lessons I learnedfrom my wife, Dr. Barbara Nemko.
She was no doctor when I met her.She was the remedial reading teaching in a middle school in Corona,Queens. I was the drug counselor.During breaks, we'd both sit in theteacher's room. The difference wasthat I spent those ten minutes exacerbating my burnout, ever lamentingthe future of "the youths." In contrast, Barbara was chatting, laughingwith her more upbeat friends. Thatmight make you think she was anuncaring teacher. I found out laterthat her principal rated her among the school's best.The difference between her and me was that she knewthat moaning only makes matters worse.
We came to Berkeley so I could go to graduateschool Barb had to find a job. She knew no one sonetworking was out. Rather than the passive approachof responding to want ads, she got in her car and wentfrom school district to school district, walked in, andstrutted her stuff. Within five days, she had three joboffers. Lesson Learned: Showing your wares, even ifnot solicited, pays off. I've subsequently found, as acareer counselor, that Barbara's experience is notllllusuaL
We were at a party thrown by one of my professors,Myra Windmiller. Being new to California, we didn'trealize the convention: you bring a bottle of wine.Instead, Barbara bought a pie plate. Myra was quitetaken with it, which opened the door to her andBarbara having a nice conversation, at the end ofwhich, Myra said, "Why don't you apply to graduateschool at Berkeley?" Barb applied, and despite a goodbut not world-class academic record, got in. She nowholds a Ph.D. from Berkeley. Lesson Learned: Even insomething seemingly as objective as getting intoBerkeley, relationships are key.
But while Barbara was plenty smart, emotionallyintelligent, and hardworking, she lacked the ambitiongene. She held a number of positions, the last of whichwas as administrator in the Napa County Office ofEducation. When the position of Napa County Interim
Superintendent of Schools cameopen, even though she was highlyregarded, she never really thoughtabout applying. I made her thinkabout it. In fact, I pushed the heckout of her to apply. She did andbecame the cabinet's and board'sunanimous choice. She has sincegone on to become the twice-electedsuperintendent and was just nominated as the region's Superintendentof the Year. Lesson Learned: Everyone needs a champion.
A few months ago, Barbara was ata holiday party, where an attendeesaid, "Barb, Napa's DreamweaversTheater is doing a production ofNeil Simon's play, Brighton BeachMemoirs. You should try out for it."Barb said, ''I'm flattered but I
haven't acted since I played a tree in the 4th grade.Besides, where ;;till I going to find the time?" But Barbcame home and her pushy husband said, °1 believe inone-time opportunities. Why not try out?Dreamweavers gets actors with mile·long actingresumes. Even if you get cast, it will be in a tiny role,but trying out will be fun." Lo and behold, not only didshe get cast, she got cast in a wonderful role: the Jewishmother (which doesn't require much acting for Barbara.)
It's one thing to impress in a brief audition; it'sanother to perfonn a big role, 16 perfonnances no less.Barbara thought. "What's the smartest way to getskilled fast? To get coached by the person who playedthat role on Broadway." So, she googled and found theperson, Elizabeth Franz, who was nominated for aTony Award for her perfonnance in that role. Amazingly, Elizabeth's phone number was listed, and notonly did Elizabeth answer, but she agreed to work withBarbara, for free. Elizabeth turned out not only to be agreat coach, but a truly lovely person. Lesson Learned:Solicit the best. Even many of the eminent appreciatebeing asked.
The play has since had its nul and consisted mainlyof sold-out performances with standing ovations.

MANAGER'S NOTES'ne,2004
Dear Members and Listeners,
Summer in the City and 91.7 KALW gets into the groove!We have some great sununer music specials to offer to ourlisteners.
Creators at Carnegie - a 13-part two-hour series from NPR will take us inside Carnegie Hall for concerts by artists fromacross the musical spectrum. Creators at Carnegie will air onTuesday evenings, 9:00 pm to 11:00 pm. From John Adams toEmmylou Harris to Bill Frisell to Caetano Veloso, this promisesto be a very educational and entertaining program.
I promised everyone a re-broadcast of American Mavericksfrom PRJ in association with the San Francisco Symphony andMichael Tilson Thomas. I do try to make good on promises,especially when we heard from so many of you with regard tohow enjoyable the series was. So, the Peabody Award-winningAmerican Mavericks will be re-broadcast on Friday evenings at9:00 pm. Fascinatin' Rhythm will return in the Fall,
We bid farewell to Let the Good Times Roll, which was alimited series, and we return to Beale Street Caravan onMonday evenings.
In other areas at 91.7 KALW.. .I'm pleased to report that asour fiscal year ends KALW made its financial goals. It wasn'teasy, as all of our new listeners have not yet become contributing members, and our dues and program fees are based onaudience size.
KALW has several large undertakings this year that will
require an expansion of our humble 1.2 million-dollar operatingbudget.
First: Digital Conversion. Sometime this sum=er. we'll beannouncing that 91.7 is transmitting in digital, This is a bigundertaking, because not only will we be digitizing transmission, but computerized program distribution on the nationallevel is approaching fast, necessitating major equipmentupgrades.
Second: 91.7 KALW is in the process of planning local newsand features. We hope to launch this in the Fall, incrementally.We are very committed to localism, along with the greatnational and international programs we continue to bring toyou. With digital conversion comes the opportunity for a secondstream of programs to be heard on 91.7 if you have an HD radio~ a terrific opportunity to expand service, but that comes with acost as well.
We're an doing as much as possible with the resources wehave now. To continue to provide the type ohadio service youhave come to value and treasure means we have to grow ourbottom line as well as our membership. With your continuedsupport, it wiD an be possible.
I hope to see some of you at the Stem Grove concerts and atother events through the summer, wherever KALW has apresence. Have a relaxing smnmer, and stay tuned as we gearup for election season.
JfeA-~~Nicole SawayaGeneral Manager 91.7 KALW Radio
