“Nothing is More Precious Than…” a news magazine including music and poetry
Nothing Is More Precious Than…derives from a quotation of Ho Chi Minh—“Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom,” and reflects one of the main anti-imperialist messages of this news program. The program was produced, from 1973–1976, by Claude Marks and Nancy Barrett, was one-hour-long, and ran weekly on Saturday evenings on KPFA-FM. A number of other producers contributed to the program, notably Mark Schwartz, who did consistent and excellent reportage on the rising prison movement. The content includes extensive coverage of Indochina, reports from Havana by Lincoln Bergman from 1973-4, in-depth coverage of the fascist coup in Chile, of the American Indian and Black liberation movements, defense of political prisoners, women’s and gay/lesbian liberation, Puerto Rico, Southern Africa, and a wide diversity of struggles and events in the Bay Area and nationwide, along with music and poetry reflective of the times.
