Today's news used to be tomorrow's history, but news today is tomorrow's footnotes. News today is Anita Hill, Nancy Kerrigan, and William Kennedy Smith, all good, valid news stories. The only long-running news story since the fall of the Berlin Wall is O. J. Simpson. Histroy repeats itself. Perhaps that means it will go away.
Radio is a fantastic medium.
I believe that talk radio is full of tremendous promise. When I was young, my whole family loved the old Huntley-Brinkley Show. The theme music from the show was taken from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, which says something about where we were and what we have fallen to. The old days had their faults too. We are all reflecting today on what happened to network news.
