Subject: Stumper: Recording
Hello,
I prepare a weekday radio program for children. Within the last year, we
devoted a series of programs to a recording of E.B. White reading
"Charlotte's Web". This 4 LP set was originally produced by Pathways
Sound
of Cambridge, Massachusetts. The set in our audio library dates back to the
early 1970s.
A listener would like to purchase a copy of this recording. And, if it's
available, I would like to ask for a complimentary copy in CD format. Our
local music stores & booksellers have been unable to track it down. The
listener is writing to Pathways Sound although our address for them is
nearly 30 years old.
There were other recordings in this series including "Stuart Little",
and
"The Wind in the Willows" read by Hume Cronyn & Jessica Tandy.
These sound
like such classic children's recordings that I can't imagine they're no
longer available. Can anyone help us track them down, especially E.B. White
reading "Charlotte's Web".
Thanking you in advance.

I had good luck with the special iron-on transfer paper from
Xerox, HP, and similar companties. It costs about a dollar a sheet, and
prints out from a laser printer. You can scan images, create logos, do
just about anything your graphical software allows, then flip it and put
it on t-shirts the members supply themselves.

That is great and you are certainly entitled to your opinion and I am
entitled to mine. Just don't try to enforce it on others because it may
make it hard for them to swallow. What you do in your own home is fine.
As I have said before, I grew up watching horror movies and reading horror
novels. Violent or not, I am proud to say that I have not turned into a
violent psychotic bent on destroying innocent human beings. Some people's
minds are simply too disturbed to allow them to live in society. I believe
the correct term for this is Mental Illness not media violence.

And I'll step right on.
I find myself in agreement with this, at least to a great degree. It is a
little silly to say that the media have no effect on children. Children
learn at least partly by observing behavior of others. I recall doing
exactly that as a child. When they are heavily exposed to violence and sex,
particularly inappropriately modeled, I have no doubt it affects their
attitudes and behavior. It is a part of their culture, and we are all
influenced by culture.
Does that mean the library must censor? I don't think so, except for certain
materials on the Internet. But to deny this fundamental fact of life seems
to me more than a bit absurd: violence begets violence, whether it is
experienced or observed.
