The Baker cases with the FCC further was an early illustration of the delicate interplay of censorship and regulation, and of the early controversies of international radio spectrum allocations. Because medicine falls under U.S. regulatory oversight, but religion does not, scholars hold that the "radio doctor" phenomenon, when throttled, gave rise to the phenomenon of religious broadcasting; as well, Baker's broadcasting can be seen as a precursor to modern "shock-jock" radio. |

Musgrave Block | Other calderas & Bentley Supergroup | 300m of Permian glacial sediments.
This caldera is composed of highly tectonised, stretched felsic volcanic rocks, interleaved with a significant thickness of equally sheared titaniferous differentiated mafic sills. The best interpretation of this, and probably also of the Palgrave Caldera is that they represent hot spots along the Musgrave Block where significant magma flux penetrated, formed volcanic calderas with large subvolcanic granite intrusions, and associated mafic volcanism.
The relationship of the large granite calderas to the 1050-1080 Ma volcanics has been postulated as one in which the granite calderas were the source for the intermediate and felsic volcanic rocks. Bentley |
