Current

• Craig Gingold 21 Sep 99. "For anyone at the KPFA to lend their blessing to an event which draws listeners by appealing to our sincere reverence for "elders", while Bill Mandel still awaits the reversal of his purging, is yet another demonstration of unrepentant hypocrisy."

• Jonathan J. Markowitz 30 Aug 99. "How can folks in the Bay Area allow Willie Brown on stage on July 31st at the rally but yet not facilitate some air time for Bill Mandel? We have a problem in Berkeley and it's not MFB or members of the Board."

• Charles Stegiel 29 Aug 99. "Agism keeps Mandel off the air and jealousy... Bill Mandel is a living treasure and I miss his words on the airwaves greatly.."

• Bob O'Brien 2 Sep 99. "I heard Bill last night on Wendell Harper's show and it made me realize how much I missed his commentaries. You are the reason I became a KPFA listener and subscriber back in the mid '80s."

• Dorothy Jesse Beagle 10 Oct 99. "You were surely blessed to be one of these 'breakthrough' humans who contributed so immensely to society and from such convoluted issues, with some streak of pure honesty..."

• Mark Wilson 8 Oct 99. "It's not just his story. It's the larger story of how the first guy to be fired for breaking the gag rule is being pushed aside and shut up. Why is that?"

• William Bogert 27 Sep 99 "It's a farce to talk about democratizing KPFA and keep [Mandel] off the air."

• Mingthmag@aol.com 19 Aug 99 "One of the unsung radio greats in commentary and exposition, and it's a travesty that you are not on the air!"

• Kevin Glick 31 Aug 99 Letter of Support from a Grandson.

• Charles Stegiel 10, 17 Aug 99 "A Word to the KPFA Staff."

• Letter of Support to KPFA from a Russian Technical Institute Bill has visited "We are together with anybody, who honestly does his work in broadcasting truthful information about the world events to all the people to help them in understanding, making decisions, going over political intrigues, and struggling for peace, freedom, democracy, and friendship."

• Steph Lady "I assure you there will be people like me listening. A lot of people."

• Roger Stoll "We are talking here about one of the most brilliant, insightful and articulate radio commentators of the twentieth century."

• Bill Scoville "I love you for your contribution to humanity."

• Pat Carri "I find him interesting, forthright, well prepared, and many times, downright moving."

• K. Tellis "My God! What have you guys done? Without Bill's breadth and depth of history, how are we going to be able to recognize truth when we hear it?"

• Tom Coonen "Beyond his experience and intelligence, which are immense - there's scarcely another word - this person has wisdom. He is a sage."

• Ginny & Fred Hirsch "He is the embodiment of the spirit of KPFA and the perceptive, daring and effective critical inquiry which has set the station apart from all other media organizations."

• James Tatsch "Even Rush Limbaugh radio regulars such as I are willing to put their money where their mouths are when it comes to high-quality, listener-sponsored personalities like William Marx Mandel."

• Peter Axelson, Hearsay News "The story of people picketing the studios of KPFA in protest to the firing of Bill Mandel was news of historic proportions... There it was: a hundred-plus people walking in a circle in front of the doors."

• Barbara Deutsch "We still have a lot to learn from him; unfortunately, so do the station's present managers." ('95)
