Dennis did not broadcast today.
Royal Oakes and Robin Abcarian substituted for him. Robin admitted
that she has yet to read Prager's book. She says that Dennis
has failed to give her a complimentary copy.
Glowing with joy and nachas, I am so proud to announce that Dennis
Prager has finally updated his site (for the first time in about
a month).
Click on "What's New" and read the following pabulum.
From Dennis
Prager Web Site:
We are all so proud to announce that Dennis' latest book. Happiness
Is A Serious Problem, has been on the Los Angeles Times best seller
list every week since publication-that's 12 weeks straight. Last
Sunday it was #3. And, nationwide, the book is ranked #49.
The latest review was done by one of the few real thinkers in
journalism, Ms. Wendy Shalit. She reviewed the book in the March
23rd issue of National Review.
Dennis performed, what he considers his most difficult musical
accomplishment thus far, with the Los Angeles Jewish Symphony on
Sunday, April 5, 1998. He enjoyed meeting so many of you who attended
this stirring event that received a glowing review in The Los Angeles
Times.
Dennis was thrilled with the turnout when he conducted the Pasadena
Lyric Opera. Meeting KABC listeners and The Prager Perspective readers
at these events is always a highlight for Dennis.
William Safire: Don't Bank On It
[Dennis would sympathize with the perspective below.]
ESSAY / By WILLIAM SAFIRE
When a big bank on the West Coast decides to merge with a big
East Coast bank, that doesn't bother me. All the stuff about synergies
and cost-saving layoffs and global reach will be meaningless soon
enough; future banking will be done on the Internet, every home
a branch, and today's giants will be undercut by speedy cyberbankers
unencumbered by overhead.
Far more troubling is the kind of marriage proposed by Citibank
and the Travelers Group of insurance companies and stock brokerage.
That would require changing the law that keeps banks -- where individual
deposits are insured up to $100,000 by the Federal Government --
separate from other enterprises.
With remarkable chutzpah, these companies have embarked on a course
that blithely assumes that change in law.
