LOWELL THOMAS, CBS RADIO NEWS, JAN. 29, 1976
I greatly admired legendary broadcaster Lowell Thomas (1892-1981) and had frequent contact with him in the final years of his remarkable career. In the 1970s I recorded a number of his “Lowell Thomas Brings The News” 7 p.m. radio newscasts over CBS Radio. Check out my YouTube Channel and Playlists section for the many Lowell Thomas newscasts I’ve already uploaded.
This newscast, which I recorded on Jan. 29, 1976, covers news of House Intelligence Committee balking in its efforts to publish a controversial report on the CIA; a report of Soviet-backed troops in Angola capturing a key road juncture near Huambo; Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau’s visit with Fidel Castro in Havana, Cuba, with Trudeau calling Castro “a man of world stature” and rating him “A-1;” President Ford at a Bicentennial Prayer Breakfast in Washington urging Americans to “adhere to the same faith and same purpose as our nation’s founders.”
