people to write to their MP and use him to get their ideas through Ottawa I was influenced many times by comments or letters from constituents I would get as many as a dozen letters and unless I felt a real way about an issue would consider them Many times it depended on the power and strength of the individual letter writer Acton Guide Companies nnd the Iwo Brownie Packs These girls will take

SPRINT I find hasting an interview show is a lot easier than explaining how you do it I dont think you can be in this business without being genuinely curious about people about their lives and the million things that make them different each other But a persons difference doesnt always show on the surface and you cant force it out It takes lot of listening not only to the persons words but to the bidden man or woman behind them My main effort is always to make the person feel at ease to let my guests know the moment they walk into the studio that theyll he treated with respect and thought fulness Putting people on the spot or deliberately embarrassing them doesnt interest me I want them to relax and explore the things that really mean something to them When a longtime inter national star tells you candidly she has no difficulty relating to huge audiences its only in onetoone rela tionships she can never make it you know you have reached that person She becomes a real person talking not just a stage personality Its that kind of response that suddenly makes an interview take off What I am after is exactly that personal human quality of a guest which can often lend a new perspective to a story Many things about a good interview are the intangibles you simply cant explain The tangibles tire easy enoughthe amount of homework done in advance and your own ability to concentrate completely on the guest If someone controversial is presenting an unpopular view the listening audience is entitled to a fair and impartial presentation I believe it is the audience not the interviewer who judges the merits of a guest Audi ences have a lot of common sense and are quite capable of arriving at their own decisions Broadcasting takes you into many different worlds but always it is the people what they think what they feel why they do the things they do that count most
