ORIGINAL CAPTION:
Munich - An overall view of Master Control, the technical heart of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. Every word, every sound, whether it comes from a studio three meters across the hall, or from Washington, London, Paris or Rome, passes through Master Control, where it is master-taped and relayed to the short-wave transmitters in Spain and Portugal for automatic, instantaneous retransmission into the audience areas of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
