"VOICES FROM OTHER LANDS"
The lovely GIANT PANDAS are once again being sent overseas, where they'll
be exhibited and photographed and, most importantly, will serve as
"friendly envoy for the better understanding
of the two great people."  But how much do we really understand about this
endangered species? Can keeping the Giant Pandas in captivity secure a
future  for them? And is there really a FUTURE for this animal that has
been around for millions of years?  Look for the answers to these questions
and more in our interview with Dr. George Schaller, one of the world's
foremost field biologists working with the Giant Panda.
On 91.5FM every week. Time: 8:35, 11:35 Wednesday evening, 7:35,
