Well, we have WHRB and WGBH.  so all is not lost.  The problem is that
WCRB is profoundly underestimating patronizing and dumbing down its
audience.  However whenever I read Janos' account of musical life in
the Bay Area, I am envious.  And, to make things even worse, I fear that
either Oakland or Aniheim will beat the Red Sox out for the wild card.
