	The show begins with a note from an announcer telling the
audience that the show contains material that many will find
objectionable.
	Khalid Muhammad
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khalid_Abdul_Muhammad), National
Chairman of the New Black Panther Party (having been kicked out of the
Nation of Islam in 1993), speaks, in Los Angeles 1994 May 27 -
anti-semitism is his topic.
	8:40: Roy Eisenstein (possibly
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1362271 ?) recounts his experience as a
soldier in Vietnam in 1967-8 (He says his 19th and 20th birthdays
happened there.).  He was the only Jew in his platoon.  Many of the
other soldiers expressed anti-semitic sentiments.  One night, drinking
in town, Kelly (one of them) picked a fight.  Eisenstein beat him up.
	24:50: Niles Goldstein (http://www.nilesgoldstein.com), a
rabbi, talks about God with Joe.
	33:00: More anti-semitism from Khalid Muhammad: he calls for
their extermination.
	34:20: More from Roy Eisenstein in Vietnam.  After beating up
Kelly all the others in his platoon got along with him.
	41:00: Joe talks about nature programs on television, how
they're all about animals killing and eating each other, asks Rabbi
Goldstein what this says about god.
	47:20: Jack Kornfield talks about the morning of the Buddha's
enlightenment, his sorrow for the suffering of others, how much of
this we cause by our grasping.
	49:40: Rabbi Goldstein says his faith comes not so much from
study but from 4 or 5 experiences of god.
	56:20: Jack Kornfield says that we have to accept the bad with
the good, that if we resist this we suffer.
	58:00: Rabbi Goldstein tells Joe that he prays for god's
presence, not things.  'I don't want things from god, just god.'
