I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

He was just 14. Now, Moscone and his old friend Tony Taccone revisit that memory in a compelling exploration of how tragedy sculpts destiny…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ghost Light” shimmers with the force of repressed truths. Part of OSF’s insanely ambitious cycle of history plays, “American Revolutions,” this piece fuses the intimate and the epic with riveting results. While the play still feels unfinished, particularly in its second half, there’s a candor to the memoir that hits home.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Last week, KQED’s Cy Musiker interviewed Moscone about the play, his family, and the emotions he has had to cope with around his father’s death.

Why should George Moscone’s story be told, and why is that only a small piece of this story? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s actually the subtext of the entire play, the fact that he has been suppressed in the national consciousness, but also in the consciousness of the boy, the man, the son in the play. A lot of the play is about the fact that he’s repressed the kind of mourning that would keep his father alive for him. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I think we as a country, we don’t mourn past a certain point. Back in the 1970s when this all happened, it turned pretty quickly into the 80s and Reagan, and the city of San Francisco grew exponentially; developed so fast and it changed its look and face forever. I think what started to submerge is the need for progressive politics, the definition of progressive politics as a necessary response to a status quo that had been running the country. Now progressivism is an extremist term. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone2etchsketch.mp3\">\u003cstrong>On the connection of a particular scene to his life as a boy\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone2etchsketch.mp3|titles=moscone2etchsketch]\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>I went to therapy when I was a kid, before my dad died, actually, and not after. Because I thought he was going to be killed, and I used to freak out and not want him to leave the house.

One of them is his self-hatred as a gay man. His anger at losing his dad. The part of himself that’s protecting himself. There’s a line in the play where Jon admits he always thought it was his mother who was trying to protect herself from grieving so she could hold on to her husband.

He was just 14. Now, Moscone and his old friend Tony Taccone revisit that memory in a compelling exploration of how tragedy sculpts destiny…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ghost Light” shimmers with the force of repressed truths. Part of OSF’s insanely ambitious cycle of history plays, “American Revolutions,” this piece fuses the intimate and the epic with riveting results. While the play still feels unfinished, particularly in its second half, there’s a candor to the memoir that hits home.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Last week, KQED’s Cy Musiker interviewed Moscone about the play, his family, and the emotions he has had to cope with around his father’s death.

Why should George Moscone’s story be told, and why is that only a small piece of this story? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s actually the subtext of the entire play, the fact that he has been suppressed in the national consciousness, but also in the consciousness of the boy, the man, the son in the play. A lot of the play is about the fact that he’s repressed the kind of mourning that would keep his father alive for him. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I think we as a country, we don’t mourn past a certain point. Back in the 1970s when this all happened, it turned pretty quickly into the 80s and Reagan, and the city of San Francisco grew exponentially; developed so fast and it changed its look and face forever. I think what started to submerge is the need for progressive politics, the definition of progressive politics as a necessary response to a status quo that had been running the country. Now progressivism is an extremist term. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone2etchsketch.mp3\">\u003cstrong>On the connection of a particular scene to his life as a boy\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

All last night and all of today, the sound of guns and firecrackers around us never stopped. It is difficult to feel patriotic on the Fourth of July. \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1876, the centennial of the Declaration of Independence, the National Board of Fire Underwriters' Committee on Statistics \u003ca href=\"http://books.google.com/books?id=c2ZJAAAAYAAJ&dq=%22national%20board%20of%20fire%20underwriters%22%20%22fire%20crackers%22&pg=PA217#v=onepage&q=%22national%20board%20of%20fire%20underwriters%22%20%22fire%20crackers%22&f=false\" target=\"_blank\">issued a report\u003c/a> that found that losses from fireworks that year totaled $154,087.35.

The underwriters suggested that Congress ought to ban the import of the Chinese fireworks. (In more recent years, Chinese cities have tried to stamp out the use of firecrackers and fireworks, too, especially during Lunar New Year. In a story on the end of a ban in Beijing, \u003ca href=\"http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/1498236/Beijing-lifts-its-fireworks-ban.html\" target=\"_blank\">The Telegraph reported\u003c/a>: \"The ban was imposed 12 years ago because of concern about injuries. ...

Children, with dripping ice-cream cones and sticky cotton candy, darted through the maze of grown-up legs. The Kiddie Kastle moon walk shook with bounding, squealing children.

Defying strict police orders not to use fireworks, men on rooftops lighted up the skies with rockets and starbursts. Below them, 3,000 people chanted and cheered.

The committee had surveyed fire officials nationwide and found that, despite big centennial celebrations, the losses \"were less in number than in any previous year of their remembrance.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the underwriters had identified a scourge that was sweeping the nation: imported Chinese \"fire-crackers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In appearance heathenish,\" the underwriters reported, \"the noise of their discharge is destructive of all rational methods of celebration, the serious effects after their explosion are beyond calculation.\" But the report offered a calculation nonetheless: every dollar's worth of Chinese firecrackers imported caused more than $100 in direct losses by fire. The underwriters suggested that Congress ought to ban the import of the Chinese fireworks. (In more recent years, Chinese cities have tried to stamp out the use of firecrackers and fireworks, too, especially during Lunar New Year. In a story on the end of a ban in Beijing, \u003ca href=\"http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/1498236/Beijing-lifts-its-fireworks-ban.html\" target=\"_blank\">The Telegraph reported\u003c/a>: \"The ban was imposed 12 years ago because of concern about injuries. ... The Communist Party may also have wanted to stamp out \"superstitious practices\" in its drive to modernise the country.\" I hear an echo of \"heathenish\" in that term \"superstitious practices.\")\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A New York Times editorial took note of the underwriters' report and said they should \"win the thanks of all order-loving Americans by preparing the way for a more rational observance of the national holiday.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rational. Never a word I've associated with celebrations. And I'm sure the Times editorialist would have furrowed his brow had he been able to flash forward to \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/1989/07/05/nyregion/defying-fireworks-ban-gotti-party-erupts.html\" target=\"_blank\">a famous Fourth of July celebration\u003c/a> in New York:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Nobody at the Fourth of July block party outside the Bergin Hunt and Fish Club in Ozone Park seemed to care that John Gotti was footing the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All day long, hot dogs and hamburgers sizzled on barbecue grills. Children, with dripping ice-cream cones and sticky cotton candy, darted through the maze of grown-up legs. The Kiddie Kastle moon walk shook with bounding, squealing children. American flags flew from the well-kept brick-and-frame row houses on the side streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For 20 years, Mr. Gotti, the reputed head of the Gambino organized-crime family, has given a free party for the Queens neighborhood on 101st Avenue between 98th and 99th Street every Independence Day. Every year, the party ended with blazing skies of fireworks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, the party was more than a party. It was a street drama. Defying strict police orders not to use fireworks, men on rooftops lighted up the skies with rockets and starbursts. Below them, 3,000 people chanted and cheered. And when Mr. Gotti emerged from the heavily guarded club at 9:45 P.M. and waved to the crowd, the cheers got louder.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Sacramento had ruled that the law violated minors' rights under the First Amendment, and the high court agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No doubt a state possesses legitimate power to protect children from harm,\" said Justice Antonin Scalia, who wrote the majority opinion. \"But that does not include a free-floating power to restrict the ideas to which children may be exposed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California law would have prohibited the sale or rental of violent games to anyone under 18. Retailers who violated the act would have been fined up to $1,000 for each infraction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 46 million American households have at least one video-game system, with the industry bringing in at least $18 billion in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike depictions of \"sexual conduct,\" Scalia said there is no tradition in the United States of restricting children's access to depictions of violence, pointing out the violence in the original depiction of many popular children's fairy tales like Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella and Snow White.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hansel and Gretel kill their captor by baking her in an oven, Cinderella's evil stepsisters have their eyes pecked out by doves and the evil queen in Snow White is forced to wear red hot slippers and dance until she is dead, Scalia said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Certainly the books we give children to read — or read to them when they are younger — contain no shortage of gore,\" Scalia added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Justice Clarence Thomas, who dissented from the decision along with Justice Stephen Breyer, said the majority read something into the First Amendment that isn't there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The practices and beliefs of the founding generation establish that \"the freedom of speech,\" as originally understood, does not include a right to speak to minors (or a right of minors to access speech) without going through the minors' parents or guardians,\" Thomas wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law was written by \u003ca href=\"http://dist08.casen.govoffice.com/index.asp?Type=B_PR&SEC=%7BEFA496BC-EDC8-4E38-9CC7-68D37AC03DFF%7D&DE=%7BEDF8FFFC-E59F-48D6-9C59-7E2B4345D18D%7D\">State Sen.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Sacramento had ruled that the law violated minors' rights under the First Amendment, and the high court agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No doubt a state possesses legitimate power to protect children from harm,\" said Justice Antonin Scalia, who wrote the majority opinion. \"But that does not include a free-floating power to restrict the ideas to which children may be exposed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California law would have prohibited the sale or rental of violent games to anyone under 18. Retailers who violated the act would have been fined up to $1,000 for each infraction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 46 million American households have at least one video-game system, with the industry bringing in at least $18 billion in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike depictions of \"sexual conduct,\" Scalia said there is no tradition in the United States of restricting children's access to depictions of violence, pointing out the violence in the original depiction of many popular children's fairy tales like Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella and Snow White.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hansel and Gretel kill their captor by baking her in an oven, Cinderella's evil stepsisters have their eyes pecked out by doves and the evil queen in Snow White is forced to wear red hot slippers and dance until she is dead, Scalia said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Certainly the books we give children to read — or read to them when they are younger — contain no shortage of gore,\" Scalia added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Justice Clarence Thomas, who dissented from the decision along with Justice Stephen Breyer, said the majority read something into the First Amendment that isn't there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The practices and beliefs of the founding generation establish that \"the freedom of speech,\" as originally understood, does not include a right to speak to minors (or a right of minors to access speech) without going through the minors' parents or guardians,\" Thomas wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law was written by \u003ca href=\"http://dist08.casen.govoffice.com/index.asp?Type=B_PR&SEC=%7BEFA496BC-EDC8-4E38-9CC7-68D37AC03DFF%7D&DE=%7BEDF8FFFC-E59F-48D6-9C59-7E2B4345D18D%7D\">State Sen.
