           In his Dec. 31, 1939 broadcast from London, his year-end review
of the war against Germany? when England stood alone ? Edward R. Murrow
included:


?This is the only opportunity I shall have to extend new year?s greetings
to my friends at home. Here they are: the new year is at our door, I wish
for the stupid a little understanding, and for the  understanding a little
poetry. I wish a heart for the rich, and a little bread for the poor. But
above all, I wish that we may blackguard each other as little as possible
during the new year.


?Those words were written by a German, Heinrich Heine ? a great man ? who
died in 1856.?


Page 64 of his book ?This is London.?
