I was 16 years old and recorded this while at my grandmother's house in Southport, Connecticut, on a reel-to-reel recorder. It is WCBS Radio in New York with the local news and CBS Radio News on the hour at 5 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 3, 1969. CBS News reported by George Herman. Covers President Nixon's return from an eight-day tour of Europe. Also covers administration's hopes for improved relations with "Red China," Vietnam news reporting that the U.S. was "deescalating." Reports on rioting in Northern Ireland. NOTE: Click on my "Playlists" and hear all the radio newscasts placed in chronological order. My Lowell Thomas reports are being placed in a separate playlist as time permits.
