Program to mark the first 15 years of the CBC news service. Foreign correspondents Matthew Halton, Peter Stursberg, James M. Minifie and Douglas LaChance give recollections of major news events. Halton recalls his entry into Berlin on VE Day. Peter Sturberg recalls how he was the first correspondent to make a recording of the song Lili Marlene to send home (he hired a tenor and a small Italian band and sent home an Italian version). Douglas LaChance recalls the arrest of the French Communist Jacques Duclos, the French Army Day Parade after the fall of Dien Bien Phu (there was no rejoicing) and the fall of Pierre Mendes France. James M. Minifie recalls Winston Churchill's news conference in Washington in December 1941, while Minifie was a correspondent for the New York Herald Tribune. <15mn>
