Letters: Cuba, Children and Dika

from National Public Radio
August 3, 2006

Michele Norris and Melissa Block read from listeners' letters and emails.

Among this week's topics: our coverage of the situation in Cuba following Fidel Castro's temporary handover of power to his brother Raul; our series on protecting children from violent or sexual content in the media; and a correction about the music we played last week in an obituary of Richmond music scholar Dika Newlin, who died last month at age 82.
