Americans stay at home

Published: April 4, 1986, 10:53 a.m.

After US-Libya stand-off, the threat of terrorism - aided by low fuel prices at home - see American travellers stick to their own continent. This archive edition of Letter from America was recorded by one of two listeners, who between them taped and labelled over 650 Letter From America programmes from 1973 to 1989. It was restored by the BBC in 2014.
