Show-Biz Benefits
Re “Raising Their Voices to Aid Armenian Orphans” by John Burman, Jan. 31:
Show-biz types have recorded songs to benefit Armenia’s earthquake victims, starving Ethiopians, American farm families, Bangladesh, AIDS patients and other causes. However, no one has written or recorded a song to help the victims of the greatest disaster the world has ever known, the Chernobyl nuclear accident. This unprecedented nuclear disaster, which will result in economic and agricultural harm for hundreds of years, has been swept under the rug.
Obviously, the show-biz folk are selective about disaster support.
