Well this is radio, but I'm sure that I can sneak it into this section.
Is anybody fond of these letters which are now available to listen to on the BBC archive?

I was vaguely aware of them whilst I was growing up, but I've only started listening to them over the past few months. They're a real treasure trove of information about America and her history and culture.
As you'd expect from a journalist who led an eventful life, he has an array of anecdotes to keep you chuckling and to break up the facts and figures. Sometimes he waffles a bit too much, but I guess that's part of the letters' charm.
I started at the Reagan years, and have just moved into the Bush senior administration. Some eventful times lie ahead.
When he begins each letter with his customary 'Good Morning', I've often found myself saying it back to him.
He seemed to be fondly remembered when he passed away back in 2004.
