+'''Dates of Action:''' May 8, 2003
-'''Location:''' New York, NY and nationwide
+'''Location:''' Greenville Tech Barton Campus, Greenville, South Carolina, USA
-'''Description of Artwork:''' Howard Stern's commentary referenced sexual and excretory activities and organs during his syndicated radio show.
+'''Description of Artwork:''' ''The Creation of the World and Other Business'' is a dramatic comedy based on a non-traditional interpretation of the Book of Genesis. The cast in this particular production included a woman in the role of God and black men in the roles of Adam and Abel. <P>
-'''The Incident:''' The FCC fined Infinity Broadcasting Corporation, the New York-based radio company that syndicates controversial radio personality Howard Stern, $500,000. It was the fifth such fine the government has meted out for Stern's allegedly indecent programming and the second in two days. The fine was the second largest ever handed out for a violation of the so called indecency rule. In December, 1992 Infinity was fined $600,000 for a separate series of Stern shows. Stern has generated more than $1.2 million in fines since 1988. Almost all of it has been against stations owned by Infinity Broadcasting. Infinity has vowed in the past to fight the fines and has appealed to the First Amendment. Yet there is evidence that, faced not only with the fines but with a drop in the number of stations willing to carry Stern, Infinity itself is taking steps to restrain the shock jock.
+'''The Incident:''' The play (written by Arthur Miller and performed on Broadway in 1972) was directed by Dan A.R. Kelly and opened at Greenville Technical College on May 7, 2003. The next day,  after a complaint about its content, ''The Creation of the World and Other Business'' was cancelled. The official reason was that the incomplete paperwork presented had violated scheduling policies. Furthur study of the situation by the National Coalition Against Censorship found no major error with the submitted paperwork, terms of agreement, or other 'problems' named by the President of Greenville Technical College. NCAC urged the colledge to allow the performance to move forward to no avail.  <P>
-'''Results of Incident:''' In a letter dated July 23, 1993, Infinity told the FCC that it had undertaken "continuous review and modification" of Stern's program to comply with the rules. Since December 2, 1992, these measures have included placing the broadcasts under a multiple-delay mechanism, which permits the company to bleep out potentially offensive material.
+'''Results of Incident:''' Performance was not allowed to move forward. <P>
