...FLAWS in Loeb productions seems to be something built-in, permanent, like original sin. One would like to write them away, especially when a fine play like Dirty Hands is just waiting there to disturb people and set their preconceptions spinning about in ugly chaos.

The station's gravest sin was the amateurism of its largely volunteer staff, which tended to stumble over music introductions and play tapes backward. That hardly seemed enough to earn it the enmity of the community. Yet twice within its first seven months, the KPFT transmitter was dynamited out of business. The first bombing, in May, silenced it for four weeks. The second, this month, threatened...
