Bio:
I am a retired management consultant and futurist, newly returned to Seattle after first living here in 1951-52. I am interested in regional issues of environmental management and preservation,the arts, county government, and the future of journalism, especially for our region. Crosscut seems to be developing practical ways of providing the services of public information and community conversation that are essential for the health of our polity.
Active since April 2009

Okay, pointsOlaf.. taken. But as an anchor he is reading NEWS, sometimes followed by an interview.. So let's say that his writers of the news leads are writing from the Israeli point of view, and apparently usually not consulting Palestinian sources. CP

Olaf, a couple of comments back.. Please don't assume that I was saying that NPR has a pro-Israel bias. In his NEWS reports on All Things Considered, Robert Siegel AS AN INDIVIDUAL tends to report only from the Israeli point of view, which often lead to statements contrary to fact ...

NPR shows its political correctness (under current standards) in the reporting of Robert Siegel, on All Things Considered, on any story about Israel-Palestine, or any story about the Middle East that involves Israel and/or Palestine (and most such stories do). Siegel invariably presents the Israel side of the story, and ...

Feeble reporting of what was happening at the Paramount. What was going on outside, in the street, before and during the President's appearance? C'mon, Crosscut. It's all right to report all the relevant info about this presidential visit.

I'm looking for the survey info here on the website. Are there specific questions,or do you just want comments? Ah, I see there's a place to click in David's story. Charlton Price

There was a nice theme song: "The Black Ball Ferry Line, up in Seattle.." Who can remember the rest of the lyric? On morning radio, chirping: "Ivar's Acres of Clams...Pier 54, foot of Madison Street" and.. "Seattle: Queen City of the Pacific Northwest"

Is Crosscut really so excellent, or is in that the other media -- all of them -- are so flaccid and incompetent?

This is a very comprehensive and well organized pitch, David. Thank you. It helps to make me happy to be a Renewing Member.

The performance I attended (August 4) apparently was an improvement in some respects over the already generally excellent(per the earlier Crosscut review) opening night. Asher Fischer again was masterful in getting an entrancing performance out of the orchestra. The principals were splendid, especially Persson, slim-blonde-under 40, much more physically believable ...

It's a stretch to commend or accuse David Brooks of having a "theological perspective." It's just responsible secular conservatism to recognize human limitations and caution against taking political or policy actions without considering possible undesirable or unintended consequences. Brooks is at his best when when he makes the case for ...

Tear it down, but don't put up new industry there! I worked there 1951-52, and also in what was called the DPC (Defense Plant Corporation) box office building across the street, between Marginal Way and Boeing Field. Where we saw the XB-52 take off, with the road atop the hill ...

Soccer/"futeball" is more like life than those "American" sports. It's chanchier, it's more unpredictable, physical skill and mental preparedness are necessary but not sufficient conditions, and it provides as close to "a level playing field" as possible for international competition. And for the nth time: the "ugly American" was a ...

Curiously enough, the shriveling of classical music from WQXR in New York could be a boost for a listener-supported KING-FM. The New York Times created,owned, and operated WQXR, which, with Web-casting added, was recognized as the bellwether classical music station. Then the Times sold WQXE to the New York City-sponsored ...

We went last night and everything said in the review is correct. A splendid production and lots of fun.

I'm part of that next older generation that is described above as conventionally retired. And I'm fortunate to have no health issues that I can't manage. But I wish my need for "vocation" would wane a bit. That's not an impossible dream. But the--so far--unbeatable foe is the lure of ...
