NEWS DESK STORY: THE STRANGE DRAMA OF THE TIBETAN FUR TRADE
Imagine news anchor, Brian Williams, being required by NBC executives to add leopard fur trimmings to his clothes during his
broadcasts. This is exactly what’s happened to Tibetan language broadcasters in Qinghai, a remote province of Eastern
Tibet. This directive was sparked off by a rash of fur-burning across Tibet. Radio Free Asia reporter KALDEN LODOE, TSETEN
PHANUCHARAS from L.A. Friends of Tibet, and JOHN ACKERLY from the International Campaign for Tibet shed light on this bizarre
story.

THE SEARCH FOR TRUE HAPPINESS: AN INTERVIEW WITH MATTHIEU RICARD
MATTHIEU RICARD grew up among the intellectual circles of Paris and worked for his PHD degree in biochemistry at the Institute
Pasteur. In 1972, he decided to forsake his scientific career and concentrate on Tibetan Buddhist studies, eventually becoming
an ordained monk. The dialogue with his father, 'The Monk and the Philosopher', was a best seller in Europe, and 'The Quantum
