WHEN MR. ROGERS WENT TO CONGRESS

It would have been hard to move men in Senate in 1969 the way Mr. Rodgers did. When President Nixon’s administration wanted to cut spending to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting at its infancy, Rodgers approached the senators the only way he knew how.

Mr. Rogers goes to Washington. Viva public media!
