Lesson FourteenSection One: News in BriefTapescript1. State Department spokesman Bernard Kalb resigned today because of the Reagan Administration's alleged disinformation campaign against Libya. The Washington Post reported last week that the administration planted false information about Libya in an effort to destabilize the government of Muammar Ouddafi. Kalb today did not confirm or deny that such a campaign took place, but he said reports about it had damaged the credibility of the US. The State Department would not comment on Kalb's resignation.2. The State Department today criticized the Nicaraguan government for allegedly refusing to grant US officials access to Eugene Hasenfus. He's the survivor of Sunday's plane crash inside Nicaragua. State Department spokesman Charles Redmond. 'Our representative was not received by the Nicaraguan government. And we view this with the utmost seriousness. The rendering of consular services is an essential part of the function of an embassy. The Sandinista government has once again taken action to make that function difficult and has raised the question of whether, indeed, a US embassy can function normally within Nicaragua. We frankly cannot accept the delay in granting consular access since the Sandinista government has apparently gone to some lengths to parade Mr. Hasenfus before the press, and considering the fact that a government spokesman stated clearly last night on American television that access would be granted.' Meanwhile President Reagan today denied that the downed plane allegedly carrying arms to Contra rebels was operating-under official US orders. He also acknowledged that the government has been aware that private American groups and citizens have been helping the anti-government forces in Nicaragua.Section Two: News in DetailTapescriptLast week the Washington Post reported that top-level officials had approved a plan to generate real and illusionary events to make Libya's Colonel Muammar Quddafi think the United States might once again attack. Bernard Kalb's resignation is the first in protest of that policy. A similar resignation occurred at the White House in 1983 when a deputy quit to protest misleading statements given to the press shortly before the American invasion of Grenada. NPR's Bill Busenberg has more on today's announcement.Bernard Kalb had been a veteran diplomatic correspondent for CBS and NBC before being picked two years ago by Secretary of State George Shultz to be the Department's chief spokesman, officially an Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs. His brother, Marvin Kalb, is still with NBC. Today, Bernard Kalb surprised his former colleagues in the news media by quitting over the issue of the administration's disinformation program. Kalb would not confirm that there was such a program, but he said he faced a choice of remaining silent or registering his dissent. And even though the issue appeared to be fading from the news, Kalb grappled with it privately and decided he had to act.'The controversy may vanish, but when you are sitting alone, it does not go away. And so I've taken the step of stepping down.' 'the State Department has reportedly been involved in the disinformation issue, but Kalb said his guidelines have always been not to fie or mislead the press,and he has not done so. Kalb went out of his way today to praise Secretary Shultz, a man, he said, of such overwhelming integrity that he allows other people to have their own integrity.'In taking this action, I want to emphasize that I am not dissenting from Secretary Shultz, a man of credibility, rather I am dissenting from the reported disinformation program.' Kalb's comments suggested Shultz perhaps did not go along with the disinformation program, but in public, the Secretary of State has defended the administration's policies against Libya, saying in New York last week: 'I don't have any problems with the little psychological warfare against Quddafi." He also quoted Winston Churchill as saying, 'In time of war truth is precious, it must be attended by a bodyguard of lies.' Shultz was asked about the disinformation effort last Sunday on ABC.'I don't lie. I've never taken part in any meeting in which it was proposed that we go out and lie to the news media for some effect. And if somebody did that, he was doing it against policy. Now having said that, one of the results of our action against Libya, from the intelligence we've received, was quite a period of disorientation on the part of Quddafi. Sol to the extent we can keep Quddafj off balance by one means or another, including the possibility that we might make another attack, I think that's good.'In a sometimes emotional session with reporters today, Bernard Kalb said that neither he personally nor the nation as a whole can stand any policy of disinformation.“I'm concerned about the impact of any such program on the credibility of the United States. Faith, faith in the word of America, is the pulse beat of our democracy. Anything that hurts America's credibility hurts America. And then on a much. much, much lower level, there's the' question of my own credibility, both as a spokesman and a journalist, a spokesman for a couple of years, a journalist for more years than I want to remember. In fact, I sometimes privately thought of myself as a journalist masquerading as a spokesman. In any case, I do not want my own credibility to be caught up, to be subsumed in this controversy."The timing of Kalb's action today is likely to add to the controversy over government deception. And it comes at an awkward moment for the Reagan Administration, just days before an important pre-summit meeting with the Soviets in Iceland and in the wake of official denials about a downed guerrilla resupply plane in Nicaragua. One American was captured and others were killed in that action, but officials have said the flight was in no way connected with the US government. Kalb said his resignation today had nothing to do with any other incident. I'm Bill Busenberg in Washington.Section Three: Special ReportTapescriptThe history of Jews in Poland is not always thoroughly told in that country. And the story of the World War 11 freedom fighters in the Jewish ghetto of Warsaw is one of the saddest chapters. The ;Nazis took hundreds of thousands of Jews to their deaths, and seven thousand more died defending the area when the Gdrmans invaded. Dr. Merrick Adelman is one of the very few who survived. A book called Shielding the Flame is his story. It was written in Poland ten years ago by Hannah Kroll. It is now available in this country in English. Yohannes Toshimska is one of the translators. She says that Merrick Adelman's view of the ghetto uprising is regarded as unconventional."He doesn't use the language, or even he doesn't have the attitude people usually have to the holocaust and to the ghetto uprisings. One thing he's consistently talking about is the fact that people thought was the arms in the ghetto. It wasn’t heroic; it was easier than to die going to the train cars. And that people who participated in the ghetto uprising were actually, in a sense, lucky. They had arms; they could do something about what was going on while those hundreds of thousands who were led to the train cars wereequally heroic, but their death was much more difficult.”"Dr. Adelman was stationed ... he was working in a clinic; he was not a doctor then; but he was working in a clinic that was nearby the train station where the Jews were taken to go off to the concentration camps.''Yes. He had an amazing position. He was standing at the gate to the Hmflat Platz, which was the place from where the Jews were taken into the train cars. He was a member of the underground in the ghetto, and he was choosing the people who were needed by the underground. They were perhaps one or two in many thousands of them led every day to the cars. And he would pick these people up, and then young girls who were students at the nurses' school would disabilitate these people. He describes in the book, it's a very powerful scene, how these girls, who were wearing beautiful clean white uniforms of nurse students, would take two pieces of wood and with these two pieces of wood would break legs of the people who were supposed to be saved for the Jewish underground. But the Germans, to the last moment, wanted to maintain the fiction that people who were taken to the trains were being taken for work. And obviously a person with a broken leg couldn't work. So breaking a leg would temporarily save that person from being taken into gas."'So he saw in all, I believe he says four hundred thousand people, go aboard the train.' "'Yes. He stood there from the very beginning of the extermination action to the end.' 'With regard to what you were saying earlier, there's a dialogue that develops in the book between an American professor who comes to visit the doctor many years later, and is critical of what happened. He says of the Jews, 'You were going like sheep to your deaths.' The professor had been in World War 11; he'd landed on a French beach, and he said that 'Men should run, men should shoot. You were going like sheep.' And Adelman explains this, and let me quote him. 'It is a horrendous thing when one is going so quietly to one's death. It is infinitely more difficult than to go out shooting. After all, it is much easier to die firing. For us, it was much easier to die than it was for someone who first boarded a train car, then rode the train, then dug a hole, then undressed naked.' That's difficult to understand, but then Hannah Kroll says that she understands it because it's easier for people who are watching this to understand, when the people are dying shooting.'' It is something probably easier to comprehend because the kind of death most of the people from the ghetto encountered is just beyond comprehension.''Explain the context of the title for Shielding the Flame; it comes up a bit later on. It has to do with the reason that Dr. Adelman becomes a physician, a cardiologist, after the War, is that he wants this opportunity to deal with people who are in a life-or-death situation.''He says at some point that what he was doing at Hmflat Platz and what he was doing later on as a doctor is like to shield the flame from God who wants to blow this little tiny flame and kill the person, that what he was doing during the War and after the War was, in a way, doing God's work or doing something against God, even if the God existed.'"Do you think this book is going to be accessible to the Western reader reading it in English? It is a bit free in form and in style. It lacks a chronology; certain details are not there or are pre-supposed that one knows.''This book is a little bit like a conversation of two people who aren't that much aware of the fact that someone else is listening to it. And they don't care about this other person who might be listening to it. They don't help this person to follow it. I had a hard time even when I read it for the first time in Polish. However, for me, it has magnetic power and, despite the confusion, I always wanted to goback and to go on.'Yahannes Tashimska, the translator, along with Lawrence Weshler, of Shielding the Flame by Hannah Kroll.。

Woman: So you have a half day, a full day and a day and evening tour of London? Man: That's correct. Woman: Well, as we're only here for a few days, I think perhaps we should take the full day and evening tour. Give my children the opportunity to see everything. Man: Won't that be a bit tiring for them? Woman: Yes, you're right. It's probably better if we don't include them on the evening part of the program. Man: Not the theatre and the dinner entertainment? Woman: Yes, that's what I mean. The hotel will take care of them. Man: Yes, I'm sure that can be arranged. Woman: Now, can you tell me what the cost will be? Man: For the full tour? Seventy pounds per head. Woman: So that would be 140 pounds for myself and my husband. What about the children, is there any reduction for them? Man: Certainly, we have half price for children and if they're not going to the theatre or the dinner, I think we could let them have the full day tour for thirty pounds each. Woman: That's fine. Could you tell me more details of the tour? I mean, what will we be actually seeing and so forth? Man: Well, here's a brochure for you to read, but I can quickly run through the main items of the tour with you. Now, as you see, you're picked up from your hotel at 8:30, so you must be sure to order an early breakfast. Woman: Yes ... Man: Then you're taken to see the Changing of the Guard and you'll see Buckingham Palace at the same time of course. After that you'll be taken down Whitehall to see the House of Parliament, Big Ben, you know the famous clock, and nearby Westminster Abbey. Now from there we have a river trip down the Thames towards the Tower of London. During the river trip you'll be provided with sandwiches and coffee, orange juice for the kiddies. When you get to the Tower, you'll see the Beefeaters, the traditional guards of the Tower and then you'll be shown the Crown jewels. Woman: And will we have a guide during all this? Man: Of course. There's an official guide who will explain the sights to you and give a short account of their historic associations in three languages, English, German and French. If you have any further questions he'll be only too pleased to answer them. Woman: Oh, that sounds perfect. Man: Now in the afternoon, you'll be taken to London Zoo for a couple of hours. We try to arrange this to coincide with the monkeys' tea party. The children always enjoy that. Woman: Oh, I'm sure mine will. Man: And from there we just go round the corner to Madame Tussaud's to see the waxworks and after that right next door to the London Planetarium where you'll see the stars simulated by laser beams. Woman: That sounds very exciting. What a full day. Man: Yes, well we do let you have a couple of hours' rest before taking you on to the theatre and dinner in the evening. Woman: Oh, that's good. I'll be able to get the children off to bed or settled down watching television or something. Well, that sounds marvellous. Thank you very much. Man: Not at all. Er ... there is just one thing, madam. Woman: Oh, what's that? Man: The cheque. Woman: (laughs) Of course.I have always been interested in making things. When I was a child I used to enjoy painting, but I also liked making things out of clay. I managed to win a prize for one of my paintings when I was fourteen. That is probably the reason that I managed to get into art college four years later. But I studied painting at first, not pottery. I like being a potter because I like to work with my hands and feel the clay; I enjoy working on a potter's wheel. I'm happy working by myself and being near my home. I don't like mass-produced things. I think crafts and craftspeople are very important. When I left college I managed to get a grant from the Council, and I hope to become a full-time craftswoman. This workshop is small, but I hope to move to a larger one next year. Mr. Hanson: Could I have my bill, please? Waitress: Yes, sir. One moment, please. (She brings the bill and the customer looks at it carefully.) Mr. Hanson: Could you kindly explain this to me? What is item 6? Waitress: Perhaps I cou1d go through it for you. The first item is the cover charge. Number 2 is the beer. Then your starter, your main course and the vegetables. The main course was 4.50 not 3.50, so item 6 is the difference. Mr. Hanson: Oh, I see. But how was I expected to know that? Waitress: Yes, sir. They are a bit hard to follow sometimes. Number 8 is your dessert and number 9 the cigarettes. Oh, and number 7 is your second beer. Mr. Hanson: And what about the service, is that included? Waitress: Yes, that's marked down here, 10 per cent service. Mr. Hanson: Good. Thank you. Now, can you take my credit card? Waitress: I'm afraid we don't accept credit cards. Mr. Hanson: Oh dear. What about a cheque with a banker's card? Waitress: Yes, sir. That will be all right. Customer: Can you bring me the bill, please? Waiter: Certainly, sir. (He brings the bill.) Customer: I think there has been a mistake. Waiter: I'm sorry, sir. What seems to be the trouble? Customer: I think you have charged me twice for the same thing. Look, the figure of 5.50 appears here and then again here. Waiter: I'll just go and check it for you, sir. (He returns a few minutes later.) Waiter: Yes sir, you are quite right. The cashier made a mistake. I think you will find it correct now. Customer: Thank you. Waiter: We do apologize about this, sir. Customer: That's all right. No harm done. Now, can I pay by traveler's cheques? Waiter: Certainly, sir. We'll give you the change in local currency if that's all right. Customer: You needn't worry about that. There won't be much change out of twenty-five dollars. Waiter: Thank you, sir. That's most kind of you. —Waiter, there's a fly in my soup. —Shh, don't do too loud. Everyone will want one. —Waiter, there's a fly in my soup. —There is a spider on the bread. It'll catch it. —What's this fly doing in my soup? —I think it's doing the backstroke, sir. —There is a dead fly swimming in my soup! —That's impossible. A dead fly can't swim. —There is a dead fly in my soup. —Yes, sir. It's the hot liquid that kills them. —Waiter, there is a fly in my soup. —Yes, sir. We give extra meat rations on Fridays. —Waiter, there is a fly in my soup. —Don't worry, sir. There is no extra charge. A strange thing happened to Henri yesterday. He was on a bus and wanted to get off. So he stood up and rang the bell. To make sure the driver heard him he rang it twice, but the bus didn't stop, and the conductor came and shouted at him. The conductor was so annoyed, and spoke so fast, that Henri didn't understand a word. The bus stopped at the next bus stop and Henri got off. As he got off he heard someone say, "I think he's a foreigner." When Henri got home, he told his landlady about the incident. "How many times did you ring the bell?" she asked. "Twice," said Henri. "Well, that's the signal for the driver to go on," his landlady explained. "Only the conductor is allowed to ring the bell twice. That's why he got so annoyed." Henri nodded. "I see," he said. (A and B are a married couple. C is a travel agent.) C: Good morning. A and B: Good morning. C: Can I help you? A: Yes, we're thinking of going on holiday somewhere, but we're not sure where. C: I see. What sort of holiday did you have in mind? A: Lots of sunbathing. B: (at the same time) Lots of walking. C: Mm. (looking puzzled) So you'd like somewhere warm? B: Not toowarm. A: Yes, as sunny as possible. C: And are you interested in the night-life at all? A: Yes. It'd be nice if there were some good discos and clubs we could go to. B: Oh, no! Surely that's what we're trying to get away from! A: What do you mean? We never go out at all, so how could we get away from it? B: Well, what's the point of going somewhere where there are lots of people just like here? C: (interrupting) Could I just ask what sort of price you want to pay? B: As cheap as possible. A: What do you mean? We want a top hotel. B: But we can't afford it. A: Of course, we can. We've been saving up all year. (Their voices rise as they argue. The travel agent looks bemused.) C: Just a minute, please. I think I can make a suggestion. Why don't you try the South of France? Then one of you can go to the beach and the other can walk in the mountains. A: That sounds like a good idea. And there are some good hotels there. B: No—there are too many English people there! A: Well, then at least we'd have someone to talk to. B: But, there's no point in going abroad to meet English people there! C: (interrupting again) Excuse me. A and B: Yes? C: Well, my wife and I have the same trouble as you. I like hot, lively places and she prefers a bit of peace and quiet and we always disagree about how much to spend. We usually split up and go to different places, but this year I've got a better idea. A and B: What's that? C: Well, I could go on holiday with you (indicates one of them) and you could go with my wife. A: That's an interesting idea. B: I'm not so sure ... C: Look, why don't you come round now and meet my wife and we can see what we can arrange ... The scene is at an airport. A man and a woman carrying several cases approach a customs officer (C.O.). Man: (whispering) Don't worry. Everything will be all right. Woman: I hope you know what you're doing! (They put their bags down in front of the customs officer.) C.O.: Good morning, sir, madam. Just returning from a holiday, are you? Woman: That's right. C.O.: And how long have you been abroad? Woman: Two weeks. Man: Yes, not very long. Not long enough to buy anything anyway. (laughing) C.O.: I see. Have you got anything to declare? Man: I'm sorry, I don't really know what you mean. Woman: Harry! C.O.: Come on, sir. I'm sure you know what I mean. Have you got anything to declare? Man: Well ... yes. I would like to declare that I love my wife. Woman: Oh, Harry. You've never said that before. Man: Well, it's true! It's just that I've never been able to tell you before. Woman: And I love you too! C.O.: (clearing throat) I'm sorry to interrupt, but I must ask you whether you have any goods to declare. Man: Ah, well I do have a record-player, a fridge and something for my wife's birthday that I'd rather not tell you about. Woman: Harry! And I thought you'd forgotten again! Man: Of course not, dear! C.O.: (annoyed) What I want to know, sir, is whether you have any goods in that bag that I should know about. Man: Well, let's have a look. (opens bag) We've got some bars of soap, a tube of toothpaste, clothes, a jar of cream ... C.O.: (angry) I only want to know if you have anything liable for tax, like cigarettes, perfumes or bottles of anything. Man: Well, we do have a bottle of shampoo. C.O.: Okay. I've had enough. You can go. Man: You mean that's it? C.O.: Please go away! Woman: Come on, Harry. He just told us we could go. (Takes hold of the suitcase and the contents spill out.) C.O.: Just a minute. May I see that jewellery, please? Man: Oh, my God! You great clumsy idiot! Woman: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. Man: You never do anything right. I don't know why I married you in the first place! Woman: But Harry! You just said you loved me. Man: Not any more. C.O.: And now what have you got to declare, sir? Sam Lewis was a customs officer. He used to work in a small border town. It wasn't a busy town and there wasn't much work. The road was usually very quiet and there weren't many travelers. It wasn't a very interesting job, but Sam liked an easy life. About once a week, he used to meet an old man. His name was Draper. He always used to arrive at the border early in the morning in a big truck. The truck was always empty. After a while Sam became suspicious. He often used to search the truck, but he never found anything. One day he asked Draper about his job. Draper laughed and said, "I'm a smuggler." Last year Sam retired. He spent his savings on an expensive holiday. He flew to Bermuda, and stayed in a luxury hotel. One day, he was sitting by the pool and opposite him he saw Draper drinking champagne. Sam walked over to him. Sam: Hello, there! Draper: Hi! Sam: Do you remember me? Draper: Yes ... of course I do. You're a customs officer. Sam: I used to be, but I'm not any more. I retired last month. I often used to search your truck ... Draper: ... but you never found anything! Sam: No, I didn't. Can I ask you something? Draper: Of course, you can. Sam: Were you a smuggler? Draper: Of course I was. Sam: But ... the truck was always empty. What were you smuggling? Draper: Trucks! The first thing they do is to put out an APB and this goes to all the police stations in the country. Next we contact the hospitals. Often the person we are looking for has been in an accident. Then we might try parents, friends or relatives they might be with. We try to follow their movements and to find the last person they saw or were with. Then we try the media. We put photographs in local or national papers—especially papers they might read. There are other things we can do: put posters in places they might be, go on television. Here in America there is a magazine in which there are photographs of missing children. This is often the last hope. Of course, with nearly two million missing children every year, we can't do all these things for everyone. We haven't got the time, the money or the staff. Are you a morning person or an evening person? That's the question. When do you work best? For me the answer is easy. I work best in the morning. All my creative work is done before lunchtime.

American reporter Nicholas Daniloff arrived back in the UnitedStates today, and accused Soviet spy, Gennadi Zakharov, left for theSoviet Union. Administration officials insisted that there is no coii-nection between the two as they announce plans for a meeting inIceland, October II th and 12th, between President Reagan and So-viet leader Gorbachev. We have two reports on today's develop-ments. First, NPR's Jim Angle at the White House. 'The preparato-ry meeting in Iceland was proposed by Secretary Gorbachev in a let-ter to President Reagan September 19. Secretary Shultz said, today,the meeting will give the two leaders an opportunity to give a specialpush to preparations for a full-fledged sui-nmit later this year in theUnited States.-President Reagan made clear his agreement to themeeting came after an agreement between the two nations on how toresolve the Daniloff affair. 'The release of Daniloff made the meet-ing possible. I could not have accepted and held that meeting if !'lewas still being held.' But the President and others insisted thatDaniloff's release without trial had no connection with GennadiZakharov, the accused Soviet spy who was allowed to plead no con-test to espionage charges today and ordered out of the country. See-@retary Shultz tied Zakharov's departure to the Soviet agreement torelease human rights' activist, Yuri Orlov, and allow him and hiswife to emigrate. I'm Jim Angle, at the White House."2. The Vatican today denounced all homosexual activity as morallyevil and said homosexuals should be taught that their sexual pr.,tc-tices are unacceptable to the Catholic church. The document was rc-layed to all Catholic bishops and restates the church's position thatlioi-nosexual tendencies are not sinful but activity is. This is NPR inWashington.3. University of Maryland basketball coach Lefty Dresell resignedtoday, another victim of the cocaine-induced death of basketballstar Len Bias. Paul Guggenheimer reports. "Dresell's resignationcame as no surprise today. In recent weeks, advisors to MarylandChancellor John Slaughter and some members of the Board of Re-geiits were pushing for Dresell's removal. This morning, atMaryland's Cole Field House, Dresell made it official. 'I want toannounce that I am stepping down as the head basketball coach atMaryland. I will remain at Maryland in the position of AssistantAthletic Director. The University has agreed to honor the financialterms of my contract, which has 8 years remaining.' Dresell coachedbasketball at Maryland for 17 years, but following Bias's death,I)rcsell told a Grand Jury that he ordered an assistant to remove ev-ideiice of drug use from Bias's room, and subsequent revelations thathis players were having academic problems proved to be Dresell'sundoing. For National Public Radio, I'm Paul Guggenheimer inWashington.'Section Two： News in DetailTapescriptAmerican journalist, Nicholas Daniloff,, returned to the UnitedStated today, a free man. He walked off a plane at Dulles Airportoutside Washington late this afternoon after a month's detention inthe Soviet Union. Daniloff had these words for members of his fami-ly and journalists at the airport：'There is always a silver lining in every cloud. In Russian, NyetKuda bisdabra. And I believe that the cloud that hung overSoviet-American affairs is dissipating. I understandthat the Presi-dent is going to meet with Mr Gorbachev shortly in Iceland, and thisto me, is a wonderful thing. In my case, the investigation into thecharges against me was concluded. There was no trial, and I left asan ordinary, free American citizen. In Zakharov's case, there was atrial, and he received a sentence. I'm sorry I don't remember the ex-act terms of the sentence, and he left. I do not believe that these twothings are in any way equivalent."NPR's Richard Gonzalez is at Dulles Airport now.'Richard, what was the mood of Daniloff and his family whenhe arrived?'"Well, the Daniloffs enjoyed a rather emotional reunion here atDulles Airport. Daniloff was cheerfully greeted by his daughterMiranda and his son, Caleb. They celebrated his arrival with a bottleof champagne. And they bought a dozen yellow roses for theirfather. Caleb presented his father with a T-shirt that had been print-ed to say ' Free Nick Daniloff" and now had been amended to say"Freed Nick Danilofr, which Daniloff displayed with obvious relishto the cameramen and photographers who were gathered there.''What seemed most on Daniloff's mind when he spoke with re.porters today?''Well, as you heard him say, Daniloff seemed very, very re-lieved that his own personal honor and integrity as a journalist hadbeen preserved in the negotiations that had freed him. And he re-peated once or twice that he felt that he had not been traded forZakharov as a spy.""Is there any chance DaDiloff who is completing a second touras a journalist in Moscow will return to the Soviet Union?""Well, Daniloff told us that he left the Soviet Union with hispassport and just as importantly with his multiple-entry visa,'which is still valid,' he said. And he ended his news conference bytelling reporters that yesterday in Moscow, feeling that he might beleaving the Soviet Union soon, he had placed new flowers on thegrave of his great great grandfather who was buried in Moscow. Andhe said, 'I'm hopeful that I'll be able to do that again, some time. "'" But who knows what will happen? What else can you tell usabout what the scene looked like there?"Well, I can tell you that there were throngs of reporters heretoo, some of whom wanted to greet Mr Daniloff with applause, andthat it took a while for Daniloff to get their attention so that hecould tell them what they wanted to hear. I think that the most obvi-ous thing is that he had a lot of friends here, among the press corps,that were ver,; happy to see him, and I think that he really ... he hada sparkle in his eye that said, 'Well, I'm finally home.'So he seemed a lot more rested perhaps than in Frankfurt?""Rested, relieved, and I'd have to say well scrubbed.""(Laugh). NPR's Richard Gonzalez talking with us from DullesAirport. "Section Three： Special ReportTapescriptToday, Van Gordon Sauter, the President of CBS News re-signed from his job. This resignation, the latest movein a CBSshake-up, which yesterday brought the ouster of CBS Chief Execu-tive Officer Thomas Wyman. He was replaced by Laurence Tisch,the company's leading stockholder.Also, yesterday, the 82-year-old founder of CBS, WilliamPaley, came out of retirement to become the company's Chairman.Writer Ken Aleter says the CBS Board probably put the changes in-to motion even before the Board meeting yesterday.' There was a regularly scheduled Board dinner, an informaldinner the night before, which is normal for a monthly Board meet-ing. And Wyman cancelled it, feeling that the Board was sopolarized in the battle between Laurence Tisch and Paley on oneside, and Thomas Wyman and some of the Board members who aresupporters of his on the other. But the Board decided to meet any-way without Tisch or Paley or Wyman, and they apparently met tillquite late, which would be Tuesday night. Then at the meeting yes-terday, Mr Wyman presented a budget as planned, and apparently,the Board unanimously was dissatisfied with that budget presenta-then it was learned that, in fact, there had been, at leastformed, that there were overtures made by Wyman andothers aligned with him t company, try and finwhite knight to stave off I and Bill Paley.''Last minu scram'Yes, a the end. Tisch and Paley to leand then Wyman to leave. the 3 principle actors indrama were out of the room when the Board discussed it, and I'mtold, unanimously reached the judgment that it was time for achange.''So it's not really fair to say that Laurence Tisch came rollinginto that meeting and just took it over.''Well, apparently the Board took it over. What happened was,as of late last week, this Board was ready to support Tom Wyman.Something happened in the last several days to turn this Boardaround. And I think, in part, that something that happened was agrowing sense of dissatisfaction with Wyman： And I suspect also, asense that the Board probably had that the continuedin the press, would only continue if Wyman remained,the helm, andthey had to stop i@"Yeah. Let me ask you fo a very simplistic answer to a compli-cated question here. CBS got into this sort of trouble because ofproblems endemic to the television industry now, or because ofmismanagBoth. Clearly, sai ng is happening in all the networks.They're facing a future, at least the immediate future,, where revenuesno longer grow at the same rate they used to, which is 10, 12, 14percent a year. Revenues are declining at all three networks. Adver-tisers are finding otheroutletsfor their money, more efficient outlets,cheaper outlets for their money. There's new competition from the4th network, from technology, from cable. Second, there was a feel-ing that, Wyman, though he was a good manager on paperand hada good strong managerial background, was not a people manager.Television is populated by a lot of famous people, who have ratherlarge egos. They're also rather large talents. But in anv case, tho seegos re@ire some strokinp- Tom Wyman was not a stroker. He wasa go-bytthe- manager. So, he was a stranger, for in-stance, to the t division of CBS, not the division thatproduc the i ut the one that produces the most pres-'s the news division."BS News people, as you 1 n%n, have been disen-nd they're probably encouraged by this move, butspecitically@, what. were they fussing about?

esson SixteenSection One: News in BriefTapescript1. President Reagan announced today, that he and Soviet leaderGorbachev will meet in Iceland October I 1 th and 12th to prepare fora summit between the two leaders in the United States later this year.The announcement came after the release yesterday from Moscow ofAmerican reporter Nicholas Daniloff and a court appearance inNew York this morning by accused Soviet spy Gennadi Zakharov,who pleaded no contesti6espionage charges and was. told to leavethe United States within twenty-four hours. Zakharov is now on hisway back to the Soviet Union and Daniloff has arrived back in theUnited States. The movement of Daniloff and Zakharov and plansfor the meeting in Iceland were also announced today in Moscow.The BBC's Peter Ruff reports. 'The announcement makes it clearthat this was at Mr. Gorba hev'@nm iation, and it's,also pointed outc vthat this is simply a preparator eeting to a possible summit. It'spointed out here that it will enable the Soviet Union to focus onarms issues, particularly the Strategic Defense Initiative, or StarWars program, President Reagan's refusal to join a testand a possible arms deal involving medium-rangiEurope. In a separate announcement, the official news agency Tasrevealed that Gennadi Zakharov had, as they put it, been releasedfrom custody and was returning home. It made no mention of thefact that I ie'd pleaded no contest in a court in New York. Then came,the first official confirmation from the Soviet Union that theAmericar reporter Nicholas Daniloff had been expelled, The newsitem did aot refer to him as a spy but as someone who'd been en-gaged in inadmissible activity." BBC correspondent Peter Ruff inMoscow.2. There was the Soviet press today that prominentSoviet disside and his wif@ will be allowed to leave forthe U s by October 7th. Secretary of State Shultz madethat announcement in Washington saying Orlov was the drivingforce behind the Helsinki Monitoring Group of Civil RightsActivists. In 1978, Orlov was sentenced to seven years in a prisoncamp to be followed by five more years in internal exile. Shultz saidOrlov's release was in exchange for that of Zakharov and had noth-ing to do with Daniloff's freedom.Section Two: News in DetailTapescriptIn just eleven days President Reagan and Soviet leaderGorbachev will meet in Iceland for what is described by the two sides*****************************************************was made at the White House this morning at a news conferenceheld by President Reagan and Secretary of State George Shultz cal-led to discuss the Iceland meeting and the negotiations which had ledup to the release of Nicholas Daniloff yesterday. Negotiations forthe release of Daniloff went on for over a month. Today, at the sametime that the White House news conference was going on, SovietForeign Minister Shevardnadze met with the press in New York.NPR's Jim Angle was at the White House, and Mike Shuster waswith the Soviet Foreign Minister.'Jim, since Daniloff was only released yesterday, and the detailsof the negotiations leading up to his release were not known yester-day, didn't this arm uncement of a summit announced before anydiscussion of the D-.tniloff affair come as a surprise?'"What was a surprise is that we did not know it was cois not a surprise if you look at the overall context of preparations fora summit and the discussions so far. Of course, the US had said it would not attend a summit until the Daniloff case wag resolved, and the President said today that he could not have accepted thispre-summit preparatory meeting if Daniloff were still being held. Today the matter was resolved. At least we heard that the other de-tails of the matter's resolution, including the fact that Gennadi Zakharov, the accused Soviet spy, was allowed to plead no conte 'st in a New York court and allowed to leave the Urited States. The reso-lution of that matter cleared the way for summit preparations. The meeting, of course, this pre-summit meeting, was proposed by Secre-tary Gorbachev, in a letter delivered to President Reagan by Soviet Foreign Minister Shevardnadze on September ]9th. The announcement of this meeting todav at the same time as the resolu-tion of Zakharov's status is a way of both sides saying that they con-sider the Daniloff matter resolved with the exception of one or two details and that no obstacles now exist in the preparations for sum-mit later this year in the US.''At the news conference this morning both President Reaganand Secretary of State Shultz stress that there had been no trade for Nicholas Daniloff. Jim, was this a trade?'" Well, clearly, Daniloff's release, Zakharov's quick trial and departure, and the release of the Soviet dissident were all part of one -package. But to the extent that definitions are important, especiallyin the diplomatic world and in terms of principles and precedents,the US has insisted that there was no trade involved here. They say Daniloff was released without a trial, an M iC' acknowledgement,if you will, by the Soviet, that he is not a spy. Kakharov, on the other hand, in pleading no contest to espionage ch4rges, allows, in a sense, the US assertion that he was a s to stand. resident Reagan soujzht today in his rema t W te H se that these wereUers. " There is no connection between these twore eases. I don't know just what you have said so far about this.But there were other arrangement-. with regard to Zakharov that re-sulted in his being freed." Margo, the President's referring there to what the US sees as the only trade involved in this whole package, and that is the Soviet agreement to allow Soviet human rights activist Yuri Orlov and his wife to leave the Soviet Union by October7th."Section Three: Special ReportTapegcript;Today in the Supreme Court of the United States, a case in-volving maternity leave: at issue wh6ther,. states may require employers to guarantee that pregnant workers are able to return to their jobs after a limited period of unpaid disability leave. NPR'sNina Totenberg reports.Nine states already have laws or regulations that require all employers to protect the jobs of workers who are disabled by preg-nancy or childbirth. Depending on what the- Supreme Court rules in the case it heard today, those laws will either die or flourish. The test case is from California. It began with Lillian Garland, the receptionist at California Federal Savings and Loan. In 1982, she re-turned to work after having a child and found she had no job-,-"After working for California Federal for over three and a @iyears, I was told at that time they no longer had apposition available for me. My question was, 'Well, what about the job that I've had foriso many years?' And they said,- 'We hired the person that youi trained in your place.' I was in shock."Officials at California Federal say Garland should not havebeen surprised, that she'd been told at the time she took pregnancy leave that her job was not guaranteed. But the fact is that California law requires all employers in the state to provide up to four months' disability leave for pregnant workers. The leave time is unpaid, andit is only available to women who, because of pregnancy or child--birth, are physically unable to work. The law does require that suchworkers get back the same job unless business necessity makes thatimpossible. So when Lillian Garland was told she couldn't have herold job back, she filed discrimination charges against the bank. Thebank then challenged the California pregnancy disability law incourt, claiming that the state law amounted to illegal sex discrimina-tion. The bank's reasoning went like this: Federal law bans discrimi-nation in employment. based on pregnancy, but the state law man-dates disability leave to women for pregnancy while denying thesame leave time to men who are disabled by other ailments, such asheart attacks and strokes. California counters that the state law doesnot discriminate between men and women, that it treats them boththe same as to,all, ailments, bui-gra@ts@disability leave only to preg-nant workers. Moreover, California argues that the state law in factequalizes the situation between men and women, allowing them bbthh bt he pregnancy disabilityto have children without t_FV j IT)- C/'-case has produced so@triaViZe @Ae s 'Me Reagan Admini-stration is siding with the California business community in arguingthat federal law requires no special treatment for pregnancy. Manyof the major national women's organizations agree, but argue thatthe way to cure the problem is to give everybody unpaid disabilityleave in case of illness. Other women's organizations, particularly inCalifornia, argue that singling out pregnancy for special treatment is6 " > n o t s e x d i s c r i m i n a t i o n .

Texas Air announced today that it will buy the troubled People Express Airlines for about a hundred and twenty-five million dollars. The proposed deal would allow most People Express employees to keep their jobs, although the company will eventually lose its identity and become part of Texas Air. Federal officials must approve the merger. Texas Air is also trying to buy Eastern Airlines.2. A rally on Wall Street today after six consecutive losing sessions, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day up nearly nine points, to close at seventeen sixty-seven point fifty-eight.3. What's being called a 'freedom flight" of seventy former Cuban political prisoners landed in Miami today to an ecstatic reception by thousands of relatives and well-wishers. The plane also carried forty one relatives of former prisoners. The flight culminated nearly two years of negotiations with the Castro regime.Section Two: News in DetailTapescriptTexas Air Corporation today announced that it has agreed to buy People Express Airlines for one hundred twenty-five million dollars in securities. Texas Air already owns Continental Airlinesand New York Air. It is in the process of acquiring Eastern Airlines. People Express, one of the first no-frills, low-fare air carriers, has been in financial trouble lately. It was forced to shut down its subsidiary, Frontier Air flights. Texas Air now says it will acquire Frontier's assets as part of its deal with People Express. Joining us now from New York, NPR's business reporter Barbara Mantel.' Barbara, it is said this is a very attractive low price, this one hundred twenty-five million dollars in securities. Besides that, why does Texas Air want People Express?' "Well, Frank Lorenzo, who is Chairman of Texas Air, will get airplanes from People Express, which he might need. He will get the lowest cost work-force in the industry at People Express. He will get a new terminal at Newark, New Jersey that People Express is building. He'll get flights to London, and he will get control over competition. People Express competes heavily, especially in the northeast corridor, with Texas Air.''This issue of competition has been a sticking point before for the Department of Transportation when two airlines wanted to get together. How will Texas Air get around it this time?' 'Well, they might not. Texas Air wanted to acquire East ..., or wants to acquire, Eastern Airline, and the Department of Transportation said, 'No, not unless you sell more landing slots, more slots in the northeast corridor to Pan Am so that we'll have some competition there.' And Texas Air agreed to that just last week. That may happen again here. The Department of Transportation may require that Texas Air sell some slots or some gates to another airline to ensure that there is still competition in the northeast part of the marketplace. But T exas Air has some leverage here with the Department of Transportation because People Express is a failing company. And the Department ofTransportation may feel, 'Well, we'll let them buy PeopleExpress and keep it running, rather than let it fail and lose all those jobs.'"'Mm hm. Now, if the deal is approved by the Department of Transportation, what is it likely to mean for consumers? If there's less competition the fares could possibly go up. "'Well, yes. You would think that when you move from two competitors in a market to just one airliner that prices would just have to go up. But I want you to keep in mind that unrestricted fares of the kind People Express offered, you know, wholesale unrestricted fares, were being eliminated and phased out anyway, because they were not profitable. And the Department of Transportation theory here is that if you allow mergers to take place, or many mergers to take place, you might create more efficiencies and low costs, leading possibly to lower fares. And also the Department of Transportation believes that there's a lot of potential competition in the marketplace. Airlines can move planes around and buy gates, and so that if an airline in a particular market segment was making a lot of money and raising prices excessively, other airlines would move in and prices would be brought down through competition. So that it's a nice theory, the theory of potential competition keeping prices in line, but it's sort of a new idea and it's not clear that that's really the way it would work.''Thanks.' From New York, NPR's Barbara Mantel.Section Three: Special ReportTapescript"My audiences have been very devoted over the years throughout the country. And they've expanded and grown andthe country audience has been just as kind and as supportive as the folk audience has been.''I was thinking though, nonetheless, when I put on this album, 'The Last of the True Believers,' especially the title cut, that I heard more country there than I'd perhaps heard before.""Well, I guess it has .-.. I've moved in that direction, mainly because I am playing with the band more. My natural roots are there in country and hillbilly music. And so I think that that just comes out more when you put the band with it."I'I want to ask you some questions, please, about this album, about the ... not so much what's on the inside right now, but what?s on the outside - a picture on the front of you in front of a Woolworth store, someplace, I guess, in Texas or Tennessee, and 'Houston, Texas.' In Houston, Texas? Is it the Woolworth store that has the hardwood floor still 'and the parakeets in the back and that sort of thing?'"Well, this one that we shot this in front of in Houston Texas is one of the largest ones in the country. It's a two-storey and it's got the escalator that does a little pinging noise every couple of minutes. And it takes up a whole city block.""But, why a cover photo in front of Woolworth's?''Well,, that comes from the song 'Love at the Five and Dime,' which was a song that Cathy Mattea also cut this year and had my first, you know, top five country hit with. And it deals with the Woolworth store.'"There is, on the cover, you are holding a book, and you can?t really see. ... What is the name of the book on the cover you're holding?''In the Kindness of Strangers, the latest Tennessee Williams' biography.''And on the back is Larry McMurtrie's book about a cattle drive around the turn of the century, Lonesome Dove.' "He's my main prose hero.''Now, why? Why would you do that? Why would you pose with a book?'"Well, I have, my audience consists of a lot of young people between the ages of, maybe you know, fourteen and twenty-f'ive. And I read a lot, and I also write short stories and have written a novel. And I just feel like young people are missing out because they don't read books. And any time I have the opportunity to influence the young person to pick up a book and read it, I would try to do that.''When you hear these lyrics, when the words come to you, are you hearing the stanzas as poetry or as music?''Well, I'm hearing them as music. Lyrics usually come to me, and songs come to me as a total picture. And the music and the lyrics come at the same time. Sometimes they shoot me straight up in bed, you know, in the middle of the night. 'The Wing and the Wheel' is a very special song to me. It's probably my favorite song that I've ever written. And that song was inspired at the Vancouver Folk Festival by two people who are from Managua, Nicaragua. They have a duo call Duo Guar Buranco. And just about four o'clock in the morning, I was sitting in my hotel room and listening to them sing in the room next door, and looking out the window at this little fingernail moon hanging out over the Vancouver Bay, and that song just came flowing, you know, and was inspired by those two people.''Now, that sounds easy.''Well, it IS easy. If you listen. to yourself and you listen to theinspiration that's bringing on that particular song, it's easy. It's just a matter of getting up and writing it down.' Nancy Griffith, talking with us in WPLN in Nashville. She is continuing her national tour with the Everly Brothers. Her latest album is called "The Last of the True Believers.'Lesson 12Section One: News in Brief1. American reporter Nicholas Daniloff is in Frankfurt, West Germany, on his way home from Moscow after being detained for a month on espionage charges. President Reagan in Kansas City on a campaign swing announced Daniloff?s release, denying that any trade had been agreed to in order to win his freedom. Asked by reporters if he blinked in staring down Soviet leader Gorbachev over the Daniloff affair, the President said they blinked. The agreement to release Daniloff came after a three-hour meeting last night in New York between Secretary of State George Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze. No details of the agreement have been released, and it is not known if Daniloff?s freedom is the first step in a trade involving accused Soviet spy Gennadi Zakharov. When he arrived in Frankfurt, Daniloff thanked President Reagan, Secretary of State Shultz, and other US officials for “dotting all the i?s and crossing the t?s” that permitted him to be in Frankfurt tonight.2. The House of Representatives is expected to vote soon to override President Reagan?s veto of a bill imposing economic sanctions against South Africa. NPR?s Cokie Roberts reports that the President has promised to expand economic sanctions on his own in hopes of getting Congress tosustain his veto. “Both houses of Congress p assed theeconomic sanctions against South Africa by wide enough margins to override a presidential veto. And it?s expected the House will easily garner the two-thirds vote necessary for override. So it?s in the Senate the President is concentrating his efforts. Today President Reagan sent a long letter to majority leader Robert Dole, restating his opposition to …punitive sanctions that harm the victims of apartheid. ? The letter went on to outline an executive order the President plans to sign which would impose some but not all of the sanctions passed by Congress. For example, there?d be a ban on some new investments in South Africa, but not as many as called for by Congress. The President hopes the executive order will win over the fourteen additional senators he needs to sustain his veto. The Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee said today that Congress would simply come back next year with tougher sanctions if the veto is sustained. I?m Cokie Roberts at the Capitol”Section Two: News in DetailAmerican reporter Nicholas Daniloff was freed today in Moscow. He flew into Frankfurt, West Germany this afternoon and spoke with reporters gathered at the airport.“It?s wonderful to be back in the West. I think it?s obvious to everybody what has happened over this last month. I was arrested without an arrest warrant. A case was fabricated against me with a narrow political purpose of giving the Soviet Union some political leverage over the case of Gennadi Zakharov in New York. The KGB did not punish me; the KGB punished itself. I cannot tell you anything about any other arrangements. All I know is that I am free in the West, very grateful, delighted to see you.” Nicholas Daniloff.When Daniloff left the Soviet Union today he had beendetained there for thirty-one days, facing a possible trial on espionage charges. Daniloff left Moscow only hours after Secretary of State Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Shevardnadze met last night in New York in the latest of four negotiating sessions concerning the fate the American journalist. But so far no details have emerged about the arrangements that brought Daniloff his freedom. NPR?s Mike Shuster has more from New York.Reporters in Moscow who had been staking out the American Embassy there first got wind this morning that Daniloff might be released, after he left the Embassy in a car and flashed the “V for Victory” sign. Apparently Daniloff was simply informed that he could leave, and his passport was returned to him. He was then taken to the airport along with his wife, and soon thereafter boarded a Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt, West Germany. The official American announcement of his release came from President Reagan mid-day today as he was campaigning in Kansas City, Missouri:“I have something of a news announ cement I would like to make, that in case you have?nt heard it already, that at twelve o?clock, twelve o?clock Central time, a Lufthansa Airliner, left Moscow bound for Frankfurt West Germany, and on board are Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Daniloff!”So far though neither the White House nor the State Department has said anything about the specific agreements that ended the negotiations on Daniloff, and lacking any fuller explanation from the government, many questions remain. First, what will happen to the Russian scientist Gennadi Zakharov whose arrest last month in New York for spying led to Daniloff?s detention? No date has been set for Zakharov?s trial in Brooklyn,and a representative of the Justice Department in Brooklyn said today the US attorney there was waiting for instructions on the handling of Zakharov?s case. There have been suggestions that Zakharov might be returned to the Soviet Union at a later date in exchange for one or more jailed Soviet dissidents. There is also thequestion of the American decision to expel twenty-five Soviet personnel from their Unite Nations Mission here. Several have already left New York and the deadline for the expulsion of the rest is Wednesday. The Soviets have threatened to retaliate if the order is not rescinded. There is no word whether the agreement that freed Daniloff includes anything on the twenty-five Soviets, which naturally leads to the final question: Has Daniloff?s release today brought the United States and the Soviet Union any closer to a summit meeting? Secretary Shultz has said that a summit could not take place without Daniloff gaining his freedom. That has now been removed as an impediment to a summit, but the Soviets have called the Zakharov case and the matter of the twenty-five Soviets diplomats obstacles to a summit as well. Until the details are made public of the agreement Shultz and Shevardnadze worked out, it will not be known what the prospects for a summit truly are. This is Mike Shuster in New York.Section Three: Special ReportOne year ago this month, a powerful earthquake in Mexico City killed more than nine thousand people. Tens of thousands of people lost their jobs because of the massive damage. Among those hardest hit by the quake were women garment workers. Who worked in sweatshops concentrated in the heart of Mexico City. One year after the earthquake, Lucie Conger reports thatsome of the forty thousand seamstresses who lost their jobs are changing their attitudes about work.Lesson ThirteenSection One: News in BriefTape-script1. A special committee of twelve senators today began the impeachment trial of Federal Judge Harry Claiborne. It's the first such proceeding in fifteen years. Claiborne is serving a jail sentence for tax evasion.2. President Reagan today continued his campaign for a drug-free America. He ordered mandatory testing for federal workers in sensitive positions. And he also sent Congress a legislative package that would increase federal anti-drug spending by nine hundred million dollars, much of that on increased border patrols. The President said the legislation is the federal government's way of just saying no to drugs. "We're getting tough on drugs; we mean business. T o those who are thinking of using drugs, we say 'Stop.' And to those who are pushing drugs, we say 'Beware.' " Mandatory drug testing for some federal workers is the most controversial part of the President's plan. It's been condemned by some employee groups.3. One person was killed and more than fifty injured today in Paris when a bomb exploded at the drivers' permit office at police headquarters. It was the fourth blast in seven days in the French capital.Section Two: News in DetailTapescriptIn Paris today, one person was killed and more than fifty were injured when a bomb exploded at police headquarters. This is the fourth attack on a crowded public target in a week.A police officer was killed yesterday while removing a bomb from a restaurant on the Avenue Champs Elysee. Minutes after that incident, Prime Minister Jacques Chirac announced new security measures aimed at curbing terrorist activities in, France. Melodie Walker reports from Paris.A group calling itself 'the Committee for Solidarity with Arab and Middle-Eastern Prisoners' has claimed responsibility for the current series of bombings in Paris, in addition to ten other attacks in the French capital over the past year. The Committee has delivered messages to news agencies in Beirut threatening to continue its bombing campaign in Paris until the French government agrees to release three men jailed in France on charges of terrorism. One of the convicted prisoners, George Abraham Abdullah, is believed to be the leader of the Lebanese Army Faction suspected of killing a US military attached in Paris in 1982. The French government has officially declared it will not release the prisoners. In response to the repeated attacks in Paris, Prime Minister Chirac last night announced new anti-terrorist measures: military patrols along the French borders will be increased and, beginning today, all foreigners will require a visa to enter France. Citizens of European Common Market countries and Switzerland will be exempt from the visa requirement. But Americans planning to visit France will need to apply for visas at the nearest French consulate. For an initial period of fifteen days, however, emergency visas will be granted at French airports and other border checkpoints. France has been plagued with terrorism at home and abroad in recent years. In the past two weeks, three French members of the United Nations peace keeping force in Lebanon have been killed by remote-controlled bombs. Today, France, called for an emergency meeting of theUN Security Council to discuss the role and safety of the force. Seven French hostages in Beirut are also a major concern for the Chirac government. Dominique Moazi, Associate Director of the French Institute for International Relations, says the bombings in Paris, the attacks on the UN troops, and the hostage situation are all indirectly related. 'I think there is a global goal, which is looked after, and that is to punish France for its involvement in Middle-Eastern affairs, either Lebanon or the war between Iran and Iraq. And France is, at the same time, more visible than any other European actors, in Lebanon and in the Gulf.' According to Moazi, the long French tradition of granting political asylum has made France more open and accessible to terrorist activities."In the past we have given, unfortunately, the impression, which was maybe a reality, of being less resolute in our treatment of terrorist action than, for example, the Israelis. So that combination of visibility, vulnerability, and lack of resolution has made us the ideal target of terrorists now.'In a statement released today, President Francois Mitterand said, ' The fight against terrorism is the business of the entire nation.' But despite the government's determination to combat terrorism, the question of how to do it remains unanswered.For National Public Radio, this is Melodie Walker in Paris.Section Three: Special ReportTapescriptThe United States Senate Intelligence Committee today released a report calling for sweeping changes in US security policies and counter-intelligence, its first unclassified assessment of recent spy cases. The Committee says the damage done has cost billions of dollars, threatening America's security, as never before. NPR's David Malthus has the story. The reportstates that the damage done from espionage and lax security is worse than anyone in the government has yet acknowledged publicly. It concludes that US military plans and capabilities have been seriously compromised, intelligence operations gravely impaired. US technological advantages have been overcome in some areas because of spying. And diplomatic secrets were exposed to adversaries. V ermont Democrat Patrick Leahy is Vice-Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.'The national security is many times threatened more by this than by the buildup of Soviet arms, or the buildup of Soviet personnel, or breakthrough in weapon development." The Committee report says foreign intelligence services have penetrated some of the most vital parts of US defense, intelligence, and foreign policy structures. The report cites a string of recent cases, including the Walker-Whitworth spy ring, which gave the Soviets the ability to decode at least a million military communications.Despite some improvements by the Reagan Administration in security and tough talk over the last two years, the report also concludes that the administration has failed to follow through with enough specific steps to tighten security, and that its counter-intelligence programs have lacked the needed resources to be effective. Republican Dave Durenberger of Minnesota, Chairman of the Intelligence Committee, sums up the current situation this way:'Too many secrets, too much access to secrets, too many spies, too little accountability for securing our national secrets, and too little effort given to combating the very real threat which spies represent to our national security.'Senator Durenberger said the Committee found someprogress has been made in toughening up security clearances for personnel, and some additional resources have been devoted to countering technical espionage, but he said much more needs to be done and he described the current security system as one 'paralyzed by bureaucratic inertia.' The Committee makes ninety-five specific recommendations, including greater emphasis on re-investigations of cleared personnel, a streamlined classification system, more money for counter-intelligence elements of the FBI, CIA and the military services, and tighter controls on foreign diplomats from hostile countries. The report cites FBI assessments on how extensively the Soviets use, diplomatic cover to hide spying activity. There are twenty-one hundred diplomats, UN officials, and trade representatives from the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact countries living in the United States. And according to the FBI, 30% of them are professional intelligence officers. The Committee report also says the Soviet Union is effectively using United Nations organizations worldwide to conduct spying operations. It says approximately eight hundred Soviets work for UN agencies, three hundred of them in New York, and one fourth of those are working for the KGB or the Soviet military intelligence, the GRU. Next week, the Reagan Administration is to deliver to. the Congress its, classified report on counter-intelligence. I'm David Malthus in Washington.。

Nearly every morning I stop there for a cup of tea before I come back up here.2.I don’t mind living in a tall building. I don’t mind the stairs. I quite like theexercise.

I thought I was going to drown. I’ve never been more frightened in my life.B.Forum:Should school children take part-time jobs？This is a discussion which will appear in a magazine.Editor: This month our panel looks at part-time jobs. Are they good for school children or not？Headmaster: Definitely not. The children have got two full-time jobs already: growing up and going to school. Part-time jobs make them so tired they fall asleep in class.Mrs. Barnes: I agree. I know school hours are short, but there’s homework as well, and children need a lot of sleep.Mr. Barnes: Young children perhaps, but some boys stay at school until they’re eighteen or nineteen. A part-time job can’t harm them. In fact, it’s good for them. They earn their pocket-money instead of asking their parents for it. And they see something of the world outside school.Businessman: You’re absolutely right. Boys learn a lot from a part-time job. And we mustn’t forget that some families need the extra money. If the pupils didn’t take part-time jobs they couldn’t stay at school.Editor: Well, we seem to be equally divided: two for, and two against. What do our readers think？Section Three:Spot Dictation 1:Philip Andrew is (16) and he is about to (leave school). He comes to me (for advice) every week. He is looking for (an interesting job) and he would like (good wages). One of his friends (works) in (a supermarket). Another friend (works) in (a factory).

His young friends (have bought) him a Rolls-Royce, (the most expensive) one they could find.

Lesson ElevenSection One: News in BriefTapescript1. Texas Air announced today that it will buy the troubled People Express Airlines for about a hundred and twenty-five million dollars. The proposed deal would allow most People Express employees to keep their jobs, although the company will eventually lose its identity and become part of Texas Air. Federal officials must approve the merger. Texas Air is also trying to buy Eastern Airlines.2. A rally on Wall Street today after six consecutive losing sessions, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day up nearly nine points, to close at seventeen sixty-seven point fifty-eight.3. What's being called a 'freedom flight" of seventy former Cuban political prisoners landed in Miami today to an ecstatic reception by thousands of relatives and well-wishers. The plane also carried forty one relatives of former prisoners. The flight culminated nearly two years of negotiations with the Castro regime.Section Two: News in DetailTapescriptTexas Air Corporation today announced that it has agreed to buy People Express Airlines for one hundred twenty-five million dollars in securities. Texas Air already owns Continental Airlines and New York Air. It is in the process of acquiring Eastern Airlines. People Express, one of the first no-frills, low-fare air carriers, has been in financial trouble lately. It was forced to shut down its subsidiary, Frontier Air flights. Texas Air now says it will acquire Frontier's assets as part of its deal with People Express. Joining us now from New York, NPR's business reporter Barbara Mantel.' Barbara, it is said this is a very attractive low price, this one hundred twenty-five million dollars in securities. Besides that, why does Texas Air want People Express?' "Well, Frank Lorenzo, who is Chairman of Texas Air, will get airplanes from People Express, which he might need. He will get the lowest cost work-force in the industry at People Express. He will get a new terminal at Newark, New Jersey that People Express is building. He'll get flights to London, and he will get control over competition. People Express competes heavily, especially in the northeast corridor, with Texas Air.''This issue of competition has been a sticking point before for the Department of Transportation when two airlines wanted to get together. How will Texas Air get around it this time?''Well, they might not. Texas Air wanted to acquire East ..., or wants to acquire, Eastern Airline, and the Department of Transportation said, 'No, not unless you sell more landing slots, more slots in the northeast corridor to Pan Am so that we'll have some competition there.' And Texas Air agreed to that just last week. That may happen again here. The Department of Transportation may require that Texas Air sell some slots or some gates to another airline to ensure that there is still competition in the northeast part of the marketplace. But Texas Air has some leverage here with the Department of Transportation because People Express is a failing company. And the Department of Transportation may feel, 'Well, we'll let them buy PeopleExpress and keep it running, rather than let it fail and lose all those jobs.'"'Mm hm. Now, if the deal is approved by the Department of Transportation, what is it likely to mean for consumers? If there's less competition the fares could possibly go up. "'Well, yes. You would think that when you move from two competitors in a market to just one airliner that prices would just have to go up. But I want you to keep in mind that unrestricted fares of the kind People Express offered, you know, wholesale unrestricted fares, were being eliminated and phased out anyway, because they were not profitable. And the Department of Transportation theory here is that if you allow mergers to take place, or many mergers to take place, you might create more efficiencies and low costs, leading possibly to lower fares. And also the Department of Transportation believes that there's a lot of potential competition in the marketplace. Airlines can move planes around and buy gates, and so that if an airline in a particular market segment was making a lot of money and raising prices excessively, other airlines would move in and prices would be brought down through competition. So that it's a nice theory, the theory of potential competition keeping prices in line, but it's sort of a new idea and it's not clear that that's really the way it would work.''Thanks.' From New York, NPR's Barbara Mantel.Section Three: Special ReportTapescript"My audiences have been very devoted over the years throughout the country. And they've expanded and grown and the country audience has been just as kind and as supportive as the folk audience has been.''I was thinking though, nonetheless, when I put on this album, 'The Last of the True Believers,' especially the title cut, that I heard more country there than I'd perhaps heard before.""Well, I guess it has .-.. I've moved in that direction, mainly because I am playing with the band more. My natural roots are there in country and hillbilly music. And so I think that that just comes out more when you put the band with it."I'I want to ask you some questions, please, about this album, about the ... not so much what's on the inside right now, but what‟s on the outside - a picture on the front of you in front of a Woolworth store, someplace, I guess, in Texas or Tennessee, and 'Houston, Texas.' In Houston, Texas? Is it the Woolworth store that has the hardwood floor still 'and the parakeets in the back and that sort of thing?'"Well, this one that we shot this in front of in Houston Texas is one of the largest ones in the country. It's a two-storey and it's got the escalator that does a little pinging noise every couple of minutes. And it takes up a whole city block.""But, why a cover photo in front of Woolworth's?''Well,, that comes from the song 'Love at the Five and Dime,' which was a song that Cathy Mattea also cut this year and had my first, you know, top five country hit with. And it deals with the Woolworth store.'"There is, on the cover, you are holding a book, and you can‟t really see. ... What is the name of the book on the cover you're holding?''In the Kindness of Strangers, the latest Tennessee Williams' biography.''And on the back is Larry McMurtrie's book about a cattle drive around the turn of the century, Lonesome Dove.'"He's my main prose hero.''Now, why? Why would you do that? Why would you pose with a book?'"Well, I have, my audience consists of a lot of young people between the ages of, maybe you know, fourteen and twenty-f'ive. And I read a lot, and I also write short stories and have written a novel. And I just feel like young people are missing out because they don't read books. And any time I have the opportunity to influence the young person to pick up a book and read it, I would try to do that.''When you hear these lyrics, when the words come to you, are you hearing the stanzas as poetry or as music?''Well, I'm hearing them as music. Lyrics usually come to me, and songs come to me as a total picture. And the music and the lyrics come at the same time. Sometimes they shoot me straight up in bed, you know, in the middle of the night. 'The Wing and the Wheel' is a very special song to me. It's probably my favorite song that I've ever written. And that song was inspired at the Vancouver Folk Festival by two people who are from Managua, Nicaragua. They have a duo call Duo Guar Buranco. And just about four o'clock in the morning, I was sitting in my hotel room and listening to them sing in the room next door, and looking out the window at this little fingernail moon hanging out over the Vancouver Bay, and that song just came flowing, you know, and was inspired by those two people.''Now, that sounds easy.''Well, it IS easy. If you listen. to yourself and you listen to the inspiration that's bringing on that particular song, it's easy. It's just a matter of getting up and writing it down.' Nancy Griffith, talking with us in WPLN in Nashville. She is continuing her national tour with the Everly Brothers. Her latest album is called "The Last of the True Believers.'Lesson 12Section One: News in Brief1. American reporter Nicholas Daniloff is in Frankfurt, West Germany, on his way home from Moscow after being detained for a month on espionage charges. President Reagan in Kansas City on a campaign swing announced Daniloff‟s release, denying that any trade had been agreed to in order to win his freedom. Asked by reporters if he blinked in staring down Soviet leader Gorbachev over the Daniloff affair, the President said they blinked. The agreement to release Daniloff came after a three-hour meeting last night in New York between Secretary of State George Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze. No details of the agreement have been released, and it is not known if Daniloff‟s freedom is the first step in a trade involving accused Soviet spy Gennadi Zakharov. When he arrived in Frankfurt, Daniloff thanked President Reagan, Secretary of State Shultz, and other US officials for “dotting all the i‟s and crossing the t‟s” that permitted him to be in Frankfurt tonight.2. The House of Representatives is expected to vote soon to override President Reagan‟s veto of a bill imposing economic sanctions against South Africa. NPR‟s Cokie Roberts reports that the President has promised to expand economic sanctions on his own in hopes of getting Congress tosustain his veto. “Both houses of Congress passed the economic sanctions against South Africa by wide enough margins to override a presidential veto. And it‟s expected the House will easily garner the two-thirds vote necessary for override. So it‟s in the Senate the President is concentrating his efforts. Today President Reagan sent a long letter to majority leader Robert Dole, restating his opposition to …punitive sanctions that harm the victims of apartheid. ‟ The letter went on to outline an executive order the President plans to sign which would impose some but not all of the sanctions passed by Congress. For example, there‟d be a ban on some new investments in South Africa, but not as many as called for by Congress. The President hopes the executive order will win over the fourteen additional senators he needs to sustain his veto. The Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee said today that Congress would simply come back next year with tougher sanctions if the veto is sustained. I‟m Cokie Roberts at the Capitol”Section Two: News in DetailAmerican reporter Nicholas Daniloff was freed today in Moscow. He flew into Frankfurt, West Germany this afternoon and spoke with reporters gathered at the airport.“It‟s wonderful to be back in the West. I think it‟s obvious to everybody what has happened over this last month. I was arrested without an arrest warrant. A case was fabricated against me with a narrow political purpose of giving the Soviet Union some political leverage over the case of Gennadi Zakharov in New York. The KGB did not punish me; the KGB punished itself. I cannot tell you anything about any other arrangements. All I know is that I am free in the West, very grateful, delighted to see you.” Nicholas Daniloff.When Daniloff left the Soviet Union today he had been detained there for thirty-one days, facing a possible trial on espionage charges. Daniloff left Moscow only hours after Secretary of State Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Shevardnadze met last night in New York in the latest of four negotiating sessions concerning the fate the American journalist. But so far no details have emerged about the arrangements that brought Daniloff his freedom. NPR‟s Mike Shuster has more from New York.Reporters in Moscow who had been staking out the American Embassy there first got wind this morning that Daniloff might be released, after he left the Embassy in a car and flashed the “V for Victory” sign. Apparently Daniloff was simply informed that he could leave, and his passport was returned to him. He was then taken to the airport along with his wife, and soon thereafter boarded a Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt, West Germany. The official American announcement of his release came from President Reagan mid-day today as he was campaigning in Kansas City, Missouri:“I have something of a news announcement I would like to make, that in case you have‟nt heard it already, that at twelve o‟clock, twelve o‟clock Central time, a Lufthansa Airliner, left Moscow bound for Frankfurt West Germany, and on board are Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Daniloff!”So far though neither the White House nor the State Department has said anything about the specific agreements that ended the negotiations on Daniloff, and lacking any fuller explanation from the government, many questions remain. First, what will happen to the Russian scientist Gennadi Zakharov whose arrest last month in New York for spying led to Daniloff‟s detention? No date has been set for Zakharov‟s trial in Brooklyn, and a representative of the Justice Department in Brooklyn said today the US attorney there was waiting for instructions on the handling of Zakharov‟s case. There have been suggestions that Zakharov might be returned to the Soviet Union at a later date in exchange for one or more jailed Soviet dissidents. There is also thequestion of the American decision to expel twenty-five Soviet personnel from their Unite Nations Mission here. Several have already left New York and the deadline for the expulsion of the rest is Wednesday. The Soviets have threatened to retaliate if the order is not rescinded. There is no word whether the agreement that freed Daniloff includes anything on the twenty-five Soviets, which naturally leads to the final question: Has Daniloff‟s release today brought the United States and the Soviet Union any closer to a summit meeting? Secretary Shultz has said that a summit could not take place without Daniloff gaining his freedom. That has now been removed as an impediment to a summit, but the Soviets have called the Zakharov case and the matter of the twenty-five Soviets diplomats obstacles to a summit as well. Until the details are made public of the agreement Shultz and Shevardnadze worked out, it will not be known what the prospects for a summit truly are. This is Mike Shuster in New York.Section Three: Special ReportOne year ago this month, a powerful earthquake in Mexico City killed more than nine thousand people. Tens of thousands of people lost their jobs because of the massive damage. Among those hardest hit by the quake were women garment workers. Who worked in sweatshops concentrated in the heart of Mexico City. One year after the earthquake, Lucie Conger reports that some of the forty thousand seamstresses who lost their jobs are changing their attitudes about work.Lesson ThirteenSection One: News in BriefTape-script1. A special committee of twelve senators today began the impeachment trial of Federal Judge Harry Claiborne. It's the first such proceeding in fifteen years. Claiborne is serving a jail sentence for tax evasion.2. President Reagan today continued his campaign for a drug-free America. He ordered mandatory testing for federal workers in sensitive positions. And he also sent Congress a legislative package that would increase federal anti-drug spending by nine hundred million dollars, much of that on increased border patrols. The President said the legislation is the federal government's way of just saying no to drugs. "We're getting tough on drugs; we mean business. To those who are thinking of using drugs, we say 'Stop.' And to those who are pushing drugs, we say 'Beware.' " Mandatory drug testing for some federal workers is the most controversial part of the President's plan. It's been condemned by some employee groups.3. One person was killed and more than fifty injured today in Paris when a bomb exploded at the drivers' permit office at police headquarters. It was the fourth blast in seven days in the French capital.Section Two: News in DetailTapescriptIn Paris today, one person was killed and more than fifty were injured when a bomb exploded at police headquarters. This is the fourth attack on a crowded public target in a week.A police officer was killed yesterday while removing a bomb from a restaurant on the Avenue Champs Elysee. Minutes after that incident, Prime Minister Jacques Chirac announced new security measures aimed at curbing terrorist activities in, France. Melodie Walker reports from Paris.A group calling itself 'the Committee for Solidarity with Arab and Middle-Eastern Prisoners' has claimed responsibility for the current series of bombings in Paris, in addition to ten other attacks in the French capital over the past year. The Committee has delivered messages to news agencies in Beirut threatening to continue its bombing campaign in Paris until the French government agrees to release three men jailed in France on charges of terrorism. One of the convicted prisoners, George Abraham Abdullah, is believed to be the leader of the Lebanese Army Faction suspected of killing a US military attached in Paris in 1982. The French government has officially declared it will not release the prisoners. In response to the repeated attacks in Paris, Prime Minister Chirac last night announced new anti-terrorist measures: military patrols along the French borders will be increased and, beginning today, all foreigners will require a visa to enter France. Citizens of European Common Market countries and Switzerland will be exempt from the visa requirement. But Americans planning to visit France will need to apply for visas at the nearest French consulate. For an initial period of fifteen days, however, emergency visas will be granted at French airports and other border checkpoints. France has been plagued with terrorism at home and abroad in recent years. In the past two weeks, three French members of the United Nations peace keeping force in Lebanon have been killed by remote-controlled bombs. Today, France, called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to discuss the role and safety of the force. Seven French hostages in Beirut are also a major concern for the Chirac government. Dominique Moazi, Associate Director of the French Institute for International Relations, says the bombings in Paris, the attacks on the UN troops, and the hostage situation are all indirectly related. 'I think there is a global goal, which is looked after, and that is to punish France for its involvement in Middle-Eastern affairs, either Lebanon or the war between Iran and Iraq. And France is, at the same time, more visible than any other European actors, in Lebanon and in the Gulf.' According to Moazi, the long French tradition of granting political asylum has made France more open and accessible to terrorist activities."In the past we have given, unfortunately, the impression, which was maybe a reality, of being less resolute in our treatment of terrorist action than, for example, the Israelis. So that combination of visibility, vulnerability, and lack of resolution has made us the ideal target of terrorists now.'In a statement released today, President Francois Mitterand said, ' The fight against terrorism is the business of the entire nation.' But despite the government's determination to combat terrorism, the question of how to do it remains unanswered.For National Public Radio, this is Melodie Walker in Paris.Section Three: Special ReportTapescriptThe United States Senate Intelligence Committee today released a report calling for sweeping changes in US security policies and counter-intelligence, its first unclassified assessmentof recent spy cases. The Committee says the damage done has cost billions of dollars, threatening America's security, as never before. NPR's David Malthus has the story. The report states that the damage done from espionage and lax security is worse than anyone in the government has yet acknowledged publicly. It concludes that US military plans and capabilities have been seriously compromised, intelligence operations gravely impaired. US technological advantages have been overcome in some areas because of spying. And diplomatic secrets were exposed to adversaries. V ermont Democrat Patrick Leahy is Vice-Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.'The national security is many times threatened more by this than by the buildup of Soviet arms, or the buildup of Soviet personnel, or breakthrough in weapon development." The Committee report says foreign intelligence services have penetrated some of the most vital parts of US defense, intelligence, and foreign policy structures. The report cites a string of recent cases, including the Walker-Whitworth spy ring, which gave the Soviets the ability to decode at least a million military communications.Despite some improvements by the Reagan Administration in security and tough talk over the last two years, the report also concludes that the administration has failed to follow through with enough specific steps to tighten security, and that its counter-intelligence programs have lacked the needed resources to be effective. Republican Dave Durenberger of Minnesota, Chairman of the Intelligence Committee, sums up the current situation this way:'Too many secrets, too much access to secrets, too many spies, too little accountability for securing our national secrets, and too little effort given to combating the very real threat which spies represent to our national security.'Senator Durenberger said the Committee found some progress has been made in toughening up security clearances for personnel, and some additional resources have been devoted to countering technical espionage, but he said much more needs to be done and he described the current security system as one 'paralyzed by bureaucratic inertia.' The Committee makes ninety-five specific recommendations, including greater emphasis on re-investigations of cleared personnel, a streamlined classification system, more money for counter-intelligence elements of the FBI, CIA and the military services, and tighter controls on foreign diplomats from hostile countries. The report cites FBI assessments on how extensively the Soviets use, diplomatic cover to hide spying activity. There are twenty-one hundred diplomats, UN officials, and trade representatives from the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact countries living in the United States. And according to the FBI, 30% of them are professional intelligence officers. The Committee report also says the Soviet Union is effectively using United Nations organizations worldwide to conduct spying operations. It says approximately eight hundred Soviets work for UN agencies, three hundred of them in New York, and one fourth of those are working for the KGB or the Soviet military intelligence, the GRU. Next week, the Reagan Administration is to deliver to. the Congress its, classified report on counter-intelligence. I'm David Malthus in Washington.。
