Publisher's Summary:
Kent State shooting survivor Dean Kahler and founder of National Empowerment Television Paul Weyrich on this archive edition of Fresh Air. Dean Kahler was wounded in the Kent State University shootings. 25 years before this broadcast (May 4th, 1970), the Ohio National Guard fired into a crowd of students at Kent State University demonstrating against raids into Cambodia. Four students were killed and nine were injured in the shooting. The National Guard and Governor of Ohio (who ordered the Guard's presence) were exonerated of any responsibility for the shooting. Kahler was the only survivor to be paralyzed. He is currently a substitute teacher still living in Ohio. President of the Free Congress Foundation, Paul Weyrich is a staunch conservative who wants to lead people out of political apathy and towards involvement and influence. He founded National Empowerment Television (NET) which he refers to as C-SPAN with an attitude. And conservatives, especially Newt Gingrich who hosts his own show on the NET, are big advocates of the programming. (Original Broadcast Date: May 4, 1995)
