Freda Utley started off a Fabian Socialist in England, married a Communist from the Soviet Union, became disillusioned by Communism while living in Moscow, watched her husband get arrested and sent to a Gulag, escaped back to England, became an anti-communist and was largely ignored for her criticism. SHe had passed away about a month before Reagan would record this broadcast.

| Treaties | 78-04 | Reagan again shares his thoughts on treaties and again he turns to Laurence Beilenson's "The Treaty Trap". This time, he's talking about the importance of language. A phrase may mean one thing in one language, while it means something very different in another.

| Salt Talks I | 78-04 | Reagan doesn't talk so much about the details of the upcoming SALT II Treaty as much as he speaks about other individuals who are also sounding the bell against the limitations of the treaty and that the Soviet Union cannot be trusted, even with a signed treaty.

| Canal | 78-05 | Reagan is angry... you wouldn't like him when he's angry. Reagan is angry because of a constant lie (he calls it a falsehood) being told about our "sins" against Panama. The United States has frequently renegotiated changes to the original canal treaty in Panama's favor.

But other countries, like the Soviet Union and its Eastern European satellites haven't paid anything, and owe upwards of $82 billion. They claim they don't have to pay because they don't approve of the actions of the UN. Reagan feels that, if they don't pay, they should lose their voting rights.

| School Days | 78-06 | Reagan highlights a recent essay by Solveig Eggerz entitled "Whatever Happened to the Public Schools and Why?" (Colorado Springs Gazette-Telegraph article about the essay) which argues that we are moving from the traditional education (reading, writing, arithmetic) towards molding children's attitudes and more niche subjects. Reagan shares a story of a high school Valedictorian rejected by George Washington University over his College board exams. The Dean of Admissions is quoted: "...he thinks he's a real scholar. His parents think he's a real scholar. He's been deluded into thinking he's gotten an education."

| Taiwan I | 78-07 | Reagan first traveled to Taiwan in 1971 at the request of President Nixon. This broadcast follows his second trip. It acts as an overview of Taiwan as a country, discussing their history after World War 2 and comparing their level of freedom to that of red China.

| Hong Kong | 78-07 | While named Hong Kong, Reagan spends half his time talking about Iran as well. While visiting Asia, Hong Kong was supposed to be a simple stop-over between Taipei and Iran. However, the British governor at the time arranged for a helicopter tour of the city. In Iran, he observed the great strides in development being made. Rush-hour traffic jams that seem to run 24 hours per day. Home construction to the tune of 300,000 per year.

| Seal Hunt | 78-07 | A recent article in the LA Times about the hunting of baby seals has set off some high emotions. How could anyone hunt a cute little baby harp seal? Well, the author of the article did his homework. First, the hunts are done to control the population, with the government of Canada setting quotas. The Harp Seal is the most abundant species of seal on Earth and in no danger of extinction. In fact, too much growth in the population would put our Atlantic fishing grounds at risk. In terms of the method used, numerous studies have been performed and found that clubbing is the most humane method.

| Malibu | 78-09 | The California Coastal Commission was founded to create a comprehensive plan for the development and zoning of land from the water's edge to 3000 feet inland. It seemed like a good idea, to prevent overdevelopment and preserve some of the beaches. What they created turned into a group of political appointees, public beaches with no attendance and violations of the Constitution, as the commission began preventing existing property owners from working on their own land unless they gave up some of their beach.

| South Africa | 78-10 | On the audiobook, this track is labeled "Diplomats without Portfolio." Reagan takes issue with people who make "diplomatic" decisions without considering the options. As an example, he cites the story of the leader of the American Peace Corps. She would not allow their volunteers to work in South Africa. Also, when two of her volunteers develop back problems, rather than take them to the nearest hospital in South Africa (in protest of its apartheid policy) she instead flies them to Germany for an exam, then returns them to Botswana. The kicker? The airline used was South African and it cost $3000.

In the second, he talks about the math involved in the progressive income tax.

| Local Government Center | 78-11 | The Local Government Center is/was a organization which encouraged local governments to investigate reducing their cost-of-service by using private companies. Studies cited by Reagan stated that private ambulance companies can cost a city upwards of 70% less, and similar savings can be seen from private garbage collection. One specific example is the Scottsdale, Arizona fire and EMS department, which was for-profit run from 1952 to 2005. |
| Alternative Energy and Uncle Sam | 78-11 | Thanks to the oil crisis of the mid-1970s, entrepreneurs were spurred on to investigate and develop renewable sources of energy production, primarily wind and solar.

Between 1952 and 1962, a 10-year period, malaria cases in India dropped from 100 million to only 60,000. But then, it came back. Why? Silent Spring, published in 1962, would lead to a ban on DDT and the creation of the EPA.
