    In the springtime of his 52nd year, with an Air Force wife home from the war and a daughter desiring his attention, Mark Miller says he’s leaving WBAL. It’s a body blow to local radio, which needs all the good news people it can find.

    Miller, who grew up in Woodlawn, has spent three decades at WBAL. The last 21 years, he’s been news director there, keeping the coverage straight no matter how conservative the station’s surrounding talk shows have gotten.
