Hi Platt,
Personally I have stopped donating voluntarily to NPR for that reason.  I do
find their political stance interesting sometimes for sociological reasons.
 I treat it kind of like Newsweek, I like the people part.  I'm not so sure
about the National Endowment for the Arts.  Even if it somewhat political, I
cherish expression through art without the commercial constraints.  I am not
enough of a philanthropist to keep it going.

Hi Mark,

Not to worry. Art will keep going, only this time on its own merits, not by a 
handouts from a bunch of political hacks on a committee in Washington. And 
while Congress is cost cutting they should get rid of that boondoggle called 
the Department of Education. If it had been a profit outfit with such a 
miserable performance record, it would have gone belly up years ago. Next on 
the block: Social Security.

Best,
Platt
