 Neal Conan: What's fair and foul in war reporting - JSONSnew - Emerson News   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
When National Public Radio broadcaster Neal Conan was a young reporter in New York, he got a call from the Weather Underground terrorist group informing him of a letter in a phone booth outside the WBAI news station where he worked.
Conan went to the booth and retrieved the crucial letter, which threatened that a bomb was set to blow the upstate office of NY State Corrections Cmdr. R.G. Oswald.
Conan agreed, saying, “There is a callousness that has built up because of what occurred in New York.” Contributing to the public’s withdrawal are memories of the Vietnam War, Conan said, as well as the fear that “full disclosure” will feed the enemy, Assistant Journalism Professor Janet Kolodzy added.

CONAN: John Hutcheson, again, there seems to be a discrepancy between those who--as you say, certainly some men get into the profession and want to make a living and raise a family and do all of that, and there are perhaps other more attractive options out there.
CONAN: We're speaking with John Hutcheson of Carter Elementary School, and he brought forward a proposal to the NEA which is asking them to put forward a special effort to recruit especially men and minority men in particular for teaching positions around the country.
For example, we did a computer project for the school, and it was just a beautiful project, and the assistant principal turned the computer off because she couldn't relate to the designs and the various things that the kids did to demonstrate the computer.
