Web sites of the week

The battle for the soul of the Pacifica Radio's KPFA is being played out on the Internet for radio diehards worldwide. The station's staff has been placed on administrative leave, but the quality programming continues to be broadcast by dissident deejays over the Internet. Meanwhile, long-time supporters upset with recently announced changes at the Berkeley, California, station have set up their own Web site. Hooray for passionate listeners!
