Once again we try for a mixture of several different topics and stories--a "potpourri." (This sounds nicer than "hodgepodge.") We end up with just two: Israel's latest assault on Gaza and the causes of the wave of child immigrants from Central America.
Or maybe these are not even different topics but just two parts of the same old story.
The show features commentary by KD, an article by journalist TED RALL, a short video by Jewish Voice for Peace, and a song by BRUCE COCKBURN.
New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "average quality") of WWUH-FM, a community service of that beacon of light in darkest Connecticut, the University of Hartford.
