Talk Show About Kapuscinski

This radio show talks about Ryszard Kapuscinski's life, work and adventures. A man is invited to comment on the extraordinary man that was Kapuscinski and how he made a great impact on world news. This writer (friend of Ryszard) explains that Kapuscinski was a very outgoing man and that he always had an eye for when problems where stirring up. It's interesting that this novelist or writer talks about two points that are in the book The Soccer War. These are the war of Honduras and El Salvador and the man also explains how Kapuscinski would have to use a telex machine to send his information. We see both of this things happen in the book. "TEGUCIGALPA (HONDURAS) PAP JULY 14 VIA TROPICAL RADIO RCA TODAY AT 6 PM WAR BEGAN BETWEEN EL SALVADOR AND HONDURAS CITIES STOP AT SAME TIME SALVADORAN ARMY CROSSED HNDURAN BORDER ATTEMPTING TO PENETRATE DEEP INTO COUNTRY STOP IN RESPONSE TO AGGRESSION HONDURAN AIR FORCE BOMBARDED IMPORTANT SALVADORAN INDUSTRIAL AND STRATEGIC TARGETS AND GROUND FORCES BEGAN DEFENSIVE ACTION (The Soccer War, Chapter 3, pg. 161)." The next piece that is reflected on the show is when Ryszard goes to send the information to his boss in Polonia. "They ordered me to wait: there is only one telex machine in Honduras, and the president was using it. he was engaged in an exchange with his ambassador in Washigton, who would be applying to the American governemtn for military assistance... After midnight I finally made a contact with Warsaw. The machine typed out the number TL 813480 PAP VARSOVIA. (The Soccer War, Chapter 3, pg. 162)." This where the connections from the talk show towards the text.
