HANDBOOKS FOR INTER^AI^5ERICAN UNIVERSITY OF THE AIR
Handbooks have been compiled by the National Broadcasting supplementing two Inter-American University of the Air programs.
"Lands of the Free" is a history series and "Music of the New World" is a music series. Both are designed to meet college standards of instruction. "Lands of the Free", for example, is cur¬ rently being used in more than 100 colleges as either recommended or required listening.
