This Day in American History
On this day in 1947,the Voice of America began broadcasting to the Soviet Union. Later we added Radio Free Europe for the eastern European countries behind the iron curtain. I can still recall this great black and white commercial for Radio Free Europe--this guy walks through New York, enters a radio booth, puts on the Drifter's "On Broadway" and then speaks this rapid and impenetrable Czech ending in a semi-recognizable "On Brod-vay."
I'm wondering if we should play Tupac and Snoop for all the boys and girls in Iran and North Korea. Couldn't hurt. Except Andrew Sullivan might call it torture, but Sullivan thinks it's torture if you look mean at someone.
