I am now in receipt of a couple of dozen emails, containing, among them, a fine education for a men, such as Daniel Oliver and yours truly, who are both technophobes and audiophiles. It is now possible, I have learned, to purchase a record player that connects to a computer by way of a USB port, then simply pop on an LP, such as WFB’s 1960 “We Will Bury Him” address, and make a digital copy of the LP as the turntable spins. Astounding. Readers have sent links to places where such devices can be purchased, and to fora (forums? Which would WFB have preferred?) that explain just how to use them. One good soul has noted that he still has an LP of the speeches at NR’s 10th anniversary dinner, another that he still has the audio track of the speeches at the 25th.

I have forwarded all such emails to Daniel Oliver, who started the morning looking for an old record, and ends the day with the duty to preserve the voice of WFB for the listeners of this new century. Olivers never flinch, and a good thing, too.
