The Alistair Cooke Question

Write On

Available for over a year

There is a full postbag of letters on whether Alistair Cooke and 'Letter from America' are too right-wing, too old, and should be retired. Listeners from all over the world are outraged at the idea of getting rid of the 'living library'. The inconsistency of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ 'electronic address' causes irritation. On Air Editor Steve Martin agrees and announces a new address for the World Service. Is John Peel a 'goldie' or a 'moldie' - strong opinions on the music played by DJ, from 'discordant din' to 'a wonderful diversity'.
