Judi Bari, a member of the radical group Earth First!, is still hurting from the explosion in 1990 of a pipe bomb in her Subaru station wagon. The Oakland blast left her with a paralyzed right foot and a dislocated spine.

Unlike canned messages, these paid fireside chats look sincere and avoid the pitfalls of actual contact with journalists...
