No fireworks, WFB and his guests being long-standing (in JLB's case very long-

standing) comrades in arms, but a serious and often moving hour explaining the

difference between Voice of America--which, as Mr. Shakespeare describes it, is the American news and PR service abroad--and the two radios broadcasting specifically to the Iron Curtain countries, acting "as surrogate local radio stations ..." WFB: "As though Leningrad had a free radio station?" FS: "Exactly so." Of RFE and RL, Jim Buckley says: "We are operating on the basis that human beings are entitled to the facts. It is up to those individuals how they will react to those facts, and if we start censoring ourselves then we do a disservice to our very mandate. WFB: "Suppose that Walesa was seized and hanged, would you instantly communicate that fact throughout Poland?" JLB: "Of course."
