Default Tuning out - A cold-war stalwart goes out of fashion

Tuning out
A cold-war stalwart goes out of fashion

TWIDDLE the dial of a short-wave radio and you never know what you will

from Brazil or Chinese opera. Unlike other radio broadcasts, short-wave
transmissions, bouncing off the ionosphere, can connect any two points on
earth.
