Comment from one attendee at a David Barsamian talk:
"I have to admit that at the time I was unaware of your radio program, had never read any of the publications you brought with you, and had never even heard of Chomsky. After walking away from your lecture that day, I decided to put some things you said to heart. I sought out alternative sources of information; I subscribed to a couple of the magazines you suggested; I tuned in to Alternative Radio; I read some Chomsky, Cockburn, Lindorff, and more. It's funny, but in that one powerful hour that you spoke, you started a chain reaction that eventually transformed my whole approach to politics, economics — heck, life in general. Sounds extreme, I know, but its true." -- B.C., Berkeley, Calif.
