There must be decent stations in Poland and the Czech Republic --
it seems too soon for everything to have gotten conglomerated.
All they need to do is beef up their power a bit.  Just call it
Radio Free (Western) Europe.

Speaking of which, remember that RFE TV ad from the 60s?  Guy
striding purposefully through the streets (maybe you only see his
legs); voiceover talking about RFE; the guy goes through a door;
you see him sit down in a radio broadcast booth; he talks into
the mic in some Eastern-European(?) language, ending with "On
Broadvay [sic]" as the song starts up.  Does anyone know where
one might get a copy of that?

The world has been attacked.  The world must respond ... [but] we must
be guided by a commitment to do what works in the long run, not by what
makes us feel better in the short run.
