This episode is “Father David Gierlach - Priest for Peace”. Father Gierlach, originally from upstate NY but now based in Hawaii, was a sucessful attorney for many years, but then chose to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a priest. Unlike most members of the clergy, who go along to get along even if that means ignoring or even supporting war and genocide, Father Gierlach has been outspoken in his insistence that the church must build the beloved community, one based on peace and respect for human rights. Father Gierlach was interviewed by longtime peace activist and civil resister Jack Gilroy on December 16, 2025.

French Seduction: An American’s Encounter with France, Her Father, and the Holocaust. In a passionate blend of autobiography and cultural history, love, sex and art collide with hatred, withering French xenophobia and death, Eunice Lipton, our guest in this edition of Radio Curious, describes her book, “French Seduction: An American’s Encounter with France, Her Father, and the Holocaust.” Lipton, who lives in Paris and New York received her Ph.D. in art history at New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts. I spoke with her from her home in New York City the last week of March 2007. Because she describes painting as her favorite companions, we began when I asked her to tell us about her friends who she calls art. Eunice Lipton recommends “The Good Soldier: A Tale of Passion,” by Ford Madox Ford. Originally Broadcast: March 28, 2007

It was the evening of December 18, 2007, and I was setting up my recording equipment in an unfamiliar downtown San Francisco conference room. The events coordinator of the Republican Roundtable had offered me an invitation to record Daniel Ellsberg – and of course I said yes – in spite of the unfamiliar venue. One of the guests walked past me and said matter-of-factly: Ellsberg is a traitor and proceeded to his chair. And by the time that Daniel Ellsberg arrived I was certain that there were only two people in the room who were not Republican. In spite of some skepticism Ellsberg moved the audience with one of the most personal and detailed descriptions of his experiences as Marine and then inside the Pentagon that in the end he received warm applause. Daniel Ellsberg recently wrote a public letter disclosing that he has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and has only three to six months to live. Radio producers, video makers, artist and writers are celebrate Daniel Ellsberg Week at the end of April. And this is my way of showing him love and appreciation.

French's 1985 nonfiction work, Beyond Power: Women, Men and Morals, was the basis for her major address at the First World Summit on Women and the Many Dimensions of Power, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in June 1990. In part 1 (WINGS #37-25), French described a pre-existing matrifocal human social organization that prioritized care for offspring. In Part 2 (#38-25) she describes and decries the rise of a patriarchal and hierarchical system that prioritizes competition for personal accumulation and power-over, and prescribes male control of females. French excoriates this system for wrecking the viability of life on earth. Thirty-five years later, the accuracy of this analysis is increasingly clear.
