But it's the kind that Hendricks has always relished making. A laid-back, soft-spoken Southerner who first became interested in documentaries when ordering them for his professors at the University of Alabama at Huntsville, Hendricks "is a schoolteacher at heart," says John Malone, chairman of Liberty Media, a principal shareholder of Discovery, along with Cox Communications and Advance/Newhouse Communications.

...went into exile, to London, where she and a team of seven now run SW (Short- Wave) Radio Africa, beaming back to Zimbabwe. Surveying the audience is impossible given "the extreme fear on the ground," says Jackson. But the station estimates that hundreds of thousands of Zimbabweans tune in for SW Radio's three hours of nightly programming. "You don't get newspapers in every corner of Zimbabwe," says John Matinde, a DJ who headed ZBC's Radio 3 pop station for a decade. "Radio is a way of reaching all people." SW Radio goes live...
