SEE YOUR PROFESSOR in this vintage news footage from Miami, circa 1984

In the summer of 1984, Denver radio talk host Alan Berg was shot to death by members of the white nationalist group The Order, which was the subject of a book and, subsequently, a movie.

That summer, Your Professor was working nights at 790 WNWS, and the TV stations came in wanting to know what effect the death of Berg would have on my performance. See Your Professor (and that dingy WNWS studio) in this blast from the past.

    Tom, you should also write an autobiography on your life and career in addition to the Leykis 101 book. A book is forever.
