Kennedy declared for the presidency at The Parker House in Boston. On Sept. 29, 1996, The Parker House hosted a record- setting local fund-raising event for the Harry Browne for President Campaign. Two hundred and seven New England Libertarians raised $30,017 in Boston. New England Libertarians from Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts attended. In a region the size of Arizona, with a third the population of California, Libertarians raised enough money to fund 10 consecutive days of national Harry Browne television ads on CNN, matching Ross Perot's advertising on CNN. This event was the brainchild of Maine's Mark Cenci. Cenci recruited three new Libertarians from Boston to organize, promote, and stage the fund-raising event and a rally at historic Faneuil Hall: Muni and Ellen Savyon and Carla Howell. Cenci invited former Boston-based talk radio legend Gene Burns—who flew in from San Francisco—to lead off for Harry Browne. Savyon and Howell produced the invitations, made the arrangements, booked the locations—and persuaded Libertarians to attend this special event. Long-time Boston Libertarian talk show host David Brudnoy had Browne on his show—and urged listeners to attend the event. Michael Cloud emceed both events and did the fund-raising. Brudnoy warmed up the crowd. Then Burns gave a passionate and principled talk for NEWS Photo by Jeff Chester freedom. Browne spoke on his campaign themes, shared some new "On the FUND-RAISING EVENT - Libertarians gathered at The Parker House in Boston at a fund-raising Campaign Trail" anecdotes, and shared good news from the freedom front. event for the Harry Browne for President Campaign.

    Mount Rushmore: The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy Brian Asher Rosenwald Wynnewood, PA Master of Arts, University of Virginia, 2009 Bachelor of Arts, University of Pennsylvania, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia August, 2015 !1 © Copyright 2015 by Brian Asher Rosenwald All Rights Reserved August 2015 !2 Acknowledgements I am deeply indebted to the many people without whom this project would not have been possible. First, a huge thank you to the more than two hundred and twenty five people from the radio and political worlds who graciously took time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. Some of them put up with repeated follow ups and nagging emails as I tried to develop an understanding of the business and its political implications. They allowed me to keep most things on the record, and provided me with an understanding that simply would not have been possible without their participation. When I began this project, I never imagined that I would interview anywhere near this many people, but now, almost five years later, I cannot imagine the project without the information gleaned from these invaluable interviews. I have been fortunate enough to receive fellowships from the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, which made it far easier to complete this dissertation. I am grateful to be a part of the Fox family, both because of the great work that the program does, but also because of the terrific people who work at Fox.
