- 1. _How_to_Get_Pregnant_with_the_New_Technology_, in the stacks at the
- Fairfax Library

- 2. Swiss Radio International's stunning twenty-minute expose on the role

- 3. A current affairs report from Radio China International (formerly Radio
- Beijing) on the hardships and indignities endured by current affairs
- reporters of Radio China International when they are not on furlough
- going to school in the States, complete with an amazingly bad rendition
- of "Edelweiss" by one of said reporters, accompanying himself on the
- guitar. This all had a subtle relevance (which I missed) to the celebration
- of Chinese New Year.

- 4. Followed shortly thereafter (on another channel) by an even worse
- rendition of the Amy Grant hit "El Shaddai" by a soprano who evidently
- took up a career on shortwave after her dismissal from the Kokomo Opera
-
