On April 16 al-Jazeera broadcast a videotape of Private First Class Keith Maupin, 20, of Batavia, Ohio, surrounded by fighters who had taken him hostage after the convoy in which he was traveling on April 9 was attacked outside Baghdad.

"Elitism" is really a code word for a more virulent complaint made by conservative critics: that PBS programming has a liberal bias. It is bad enough, say right-wingers, that Bill Moyers and Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City have to be on television; but why do taxpayers have to support them...
