GORDON GREB
Prof. Gordon Greb holds an honorary degree from the London Institute of Applied Research for humorous writing, but he says he doesn't like to be called "Doc" for fear he'll be called upon to deliver a baby in an emergency situation some day.
He was a reporter and editor for newspapers, then became a radio and television newsman, working for ABC, CBS and NBC, before joining the faculty at San Jose State University. His peers named him a "distinguished broadcast educator" during his 35 years there. (He's now an SJSU emeritus professor.) He's the co-author of "Charles Herrold: Inventor of Radio Broadcasting" (McFarland, 2003) and a noted civil libertarian whose research helped the U.S. Supreme Court overturn movie censorship in 1952 with the crucial case, Burstyn v. Wilson, et al. He now calls himself "a recovering academic" that former student Gerald Nachman said, in a recent Newsweek article, is "much funnier and hip" today, in his 80s, than he was in college. His colleagues at TheColumnists
include former students Gerald Nachman, Ron Miller, Michael Johnson, Joyce Kiefer, Elias Castillo and Joanne Engelhardt.
