She was 62 years old. Her husband Mel told Missoulian reporter Mea Andrews that Ms. Williams died in her sleep, “with a smile on her face.” Her passing was noted in Time magazine and was the lead obituary in the August 7 issue of the New York Times. About a week before her death, the Los Angeles Herald Examiner carried the following story, which is reprinted by permission: By Nancy Spiller Los Angeles Herald Examiner _I^orF the past 10 years Kim Williams of Missoula, Mont., has delivered her folksy advice and herbalist observations of the world outside her kitchen window to listeners of National Public Radio. She didn’t hesitate to tell people what they should do. As she told a New Yorker reporter who came to call in her daffodil yellow kitchen last spring, “there are certain things that you just should do. In the spring, you should eat a dan­ delion salad. You should climb Mount Sentinel in May and see the yellow-flowered arrow-leaf balsam root in bloom. In June, you have to go to Lolo Pass and see the blue camas lilies. You have to do these things or the year won’t progress. And starting in July, you have to have huckleberry days. I dearly love huckleberries and all the plants that go with them — the prince’s pine, the fireweed, the baneberry, with its bright-red berries and its lacy leaves, the purple asters, the pearly everlasting. With huckleberries, you always have a mountainside and the wind making a soughing sound and an evening that lasts forever. Late-afternoon huckleberrying is a grand thing to do.” This July, while the huckleberries hung heavy and ripe on the bush waiting to be plucked and boiled and poured into her rummage sale collection of canning jars, Kim Williams said farewell to her NPR listeners in an interview with “All Things Considered” host Susan Stamberg.

  • Human Cloning, Genetic Engineering and Privacy
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 2000 Volume III: Constitutional and Statutory Privacy Protections in the 21st Century Human Cloning, Genetic Engineering and Privacy Curriculum Unit 00.03.07 by Carolyn Williams When news of a genetically engineered mouse with Down Syndrome (who died some time later) and the cloned sheep, Dolly hit the media, many wondered how these things were possible. Many undoubtedly thought them hoaxes or scientific experiments gone wrong. How many of us, outside of the scientific community had a clue that the next quest would involve the idea of cloning a human being or genetically engineering a better human, once the technology became available? Much of the technology is now available and with it comes a host of moral and ethical concerns. Is man playing God? Will clones become a subculture? Are we risking genetic disasters? Will this technology benefit all of society or just a select few? Cloned humans and genetically engineered bodies are the stuff that yesterday’s science fiction was made of. Today, they are current event topics and promise to become our medical future. We may not be morally prepared for these events, but the technology is here. Do we ignore it, try to regulate it, hope and pray that it goes away or do we embrace this new technology? RATIONALE This is a preliminary look into the biology, technology, ethics and conscious thought involved in human cloning and genetic engineering coupled with a brief exploration of governmental policy designed to regulate its research and practice. This study reports some of the current data for and against this new bio- technology and argues an individual’s constitutional right to privacy in choosing this technology.

Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.

  • David Michael Rorvik (1944–) [1]
    Published on The Embryo Project Encyclopedia (https://embryo.asu.edu) David Michael Rorvik (1944–) [1] By: Blight, Alysse Keywords: David Rorvik [2] Conception methods [3] Shettles Method [4] Family planning in literature [5] science journalist [6] David Michael Rorvik is a science journalist who publicized advancements in the field of reproductive medicine during the late twentieth century. Rorvik wrote magazine articles and books in which he discussed emerging methods and technologies that contributed to the progression of reproductive health, including sex determination [7], in vitro [8] fertilization [9], and human cloning [10]. During that time, those topics were controversial and researchers often questioned Rorvik’s work for accuracy. Rorvik contributed to the field of reproductive medicine by communicating methods of reproductive intervention and contributing to the controversy around new developmental medicine technologies. Rorvik was born on 1 November 1944 in Circle, Montana, to Frances Rorvik and Alan Rorvik. In 1962, he enrolled at the University of Montana in Missoula, Montana, where he majored in journalism. During his undergraduate career, Rorvik worked as a reporter and editor of The College Daily, the University’s student-run newspaper. The topics of Rorvik’s articles included the University’s peace rallies during the Vietnam War and caused controversy, as they challenged what he described as the provincialism of the region. Rorvik's stories caught the attention of the college president, who often threatened to discontinue the publication of the newspaper under Rorvik’s leadership as editor. In 1966, Rorvik graduated at the top of his class with a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism.
