Politicising the dictionary

Letter from America by Alistair Cooke

Available for over a year

Row over the new Russian version of the Oxford dictionary which contains politically-slanted definitions. This archive edition of Letter from America was recorded by one of two listeners, who between them taped and labelled over 650 Letter From America programmes from 1973 to 1989. It was restored by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ in 2014.
