The Santa Monica arts commission decided to scrap it–but at the same time they gave it a bit of a reprieve. Activists have 6 months to see if they can raise money to restore the sculpture of a mushroom cloud made from chain links… rather than let the city dismantle it (which they say is a far less costly endeavor.)
No-nukes activist and Santa Monica resident Jerry Rubin stands in front of the Conrad sculpture from 1991; he’s hoping to help raise money to save it.
KCRW reminds Lisa Napoli of the radio station where she volunteered in the Kingdom of Bhutan, Kuzoo FM, which is the basis of her book, Radio Shangri-La. Except there's no hole in the ceiling of the studio, and much better plumbing. At KCRW, Lisa roots out artists, authors and innovators in the vast sprawling metropolis of LA. She has worked at Marketplace, the NY Times, MSNBC and CNN, although she considers her biggest accomplishment learning to swim at the age of 37. A graduate of Hampshire College in Amherst, Mass, Lisa was raised in Flatbush, Brooklyn, NY.
