TITLE= THIS IS AMERICA #1071 - Statue of Liberty
BYLINE=Jerilyn Watson
VOICE ONE:
Wednesday, July Fourth, is America's (1) Independence Day holiday. A huge (2) statue honoring freedom and (3) liberty rises ninety-three meters at the (4) entrance to (5) New York Harbor. I'm Sarah Long.
VOICE TWO:
And I'm Shirley Griffith. The story of the Statue of Liberty is our report today on the VOA Special English program, THIS IS AMERICA.
((MUSIC BRIDGE: LIBERTY FANFARE))
VOICE ONE:
Americans like to say the (6) Statue of Liberty is in good condition for a woman of her age. She is more than one-hundred-years old. France gave the statue to the United States in Eighteen-Eighty-Four.
For more than thirty years the statue welcomed millions of foreign people arriving by ship to live in the United States. Today more than two-million people visit the statue every year. The Statue of Liberty has become a (7) representation of freedom for people everywhere.
The full name of the statue is "Liberty (8) Enlightening the World." It stands on Liberty Island in (9) Upper New York Bay, about two-and-one-half kilometers from (10) Manhattan Island. It was built in the nineteenth century. But it still remains the tallest metal statue in the world.
VOICE TWO:
The Statue of Liberty is mostly made of (11) copper. Once it was a (12) reddish-brown color. But time and weather have turned it green. The statue wears a loose (13) robe. She raises her right arm high in the air. Her right hand holds a (14) torch -- a golden light. Her left hand holds a (15) tablet. It shows the date of the (16) American Declaration of Independence - July Fourth, Seventeen-Seventy-Six. The statue wears a crown on her head. The crown has seven points. Each of these rays represents the light of freedom. This light shines on seven seas and seven (17) continents. A (18) chain representing (19) oppression lies broken at her feet.
VOICE ONE:
Twelve-million (20) immigrants from other countries passed the statue by ship between Eighteen-Ninety-Two and Nineteen Twenty-Four. Then they were taken to the (21) immigration center on nearby Ellis Island. There they went through the processes necessary to live in the United States.
Many immigrants thought of the statue as a welcoming mother for (22) refugees. Emma Lazarus expressed this idea in a (23) poem in Eighteen-Eighty-Three. She called her poem "The New (24) Colossus." She wrote:
"Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose (25) flame
Is the (26) imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of (27) Exiles. "
((MUSIC BRIDGE))
VOICE TWO:
The people of France gave the Statue of Liberty to the United States in Eighteen-Eighty-Four. Their gift honored freedom. It also marked the friendship between the two nations. This friendship had developed during America's (28) revolution against Britain. France helped the revolutionary armies (29) defeat the soldiers of King George the Third. The war officially ended in Seventeen-Eighty-Three. A few years later, the French (30) rebelled against their own king.
VOICE ONE:
A French historian and politician named Edouard-Rene Lefebvre de Laboulaye started the idea for a statue. Mister Laboulaye was giving a party in his home near (31) Versailles in Eighteen-Sixty-Five. This was the year the American Civil War ended. Slavery also ended in the United States. It was a time when Mister Laboulaye and others were struggling to make their own country (32) democratic. France was suffering under the rule of (33) Napoleon the Third.
Mister Laboulaye suggested that the French and Americans build a monument together to celebrate freedom.
VOICE TWO:
One of the guests at the party was a young (34) sculptor, Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. For years Mister Bartholdi had dreamed of creating a very large statue. By the end of the party he had been invited to create a statue of freedom for the United States.Mister Bartholdi had never designed anything taller than four meters. But he planned this statue as the largest since ancient times. Its face would be the face of his mother, Auguste-Charlotte Bartholdi.
In Eighteen-Seventy-Five the French established an organization to raise money for Mister Bartholdi's creation.
VOICE ONE:
Two years later the Americans established a group to help pay for the (35) pedestal. This structure would support the statue. American (36) architect Richard Morris Hunt was chosen to design the pedestal. It would stand forty-seven meters high inside the walls of a (37) fort. The fort had been built in the early Eighteen-Hundreds. It was designed in the shape of a star.
In France, Mister Bartholdi designed a small (38) version of his statue. Then he built (39) a series of larger copies.
Workers created wood forms covered with plaster for each main part. Then they placed three-hundred pieces of copper on the forms. The copper "skin" was less than three (40) centimeters thick.
VOICE TWO:
Now the Statue of Liberty needed a structure that could hold its great weight. Engineer Alexandre Gustave (41) Eiffel created this new technology. Later he would gain fame for building the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Mister Eiffel designed a support system for the Statue of Liberty. The system had an iron tower in its center. He decided that iron bars would connect the copper "skin" of the statue to this central tower. Mister Eiffel and his helpers worked on the design in Paris. It provided a strong support for the statue. It also permitted the statue to move a little in strong winds.
VOICE ONE:
France had hoped to give the statue to the United States on July Fourth, Eighteen-Seventy-Six. That was the one-hundredth (42) anniversary of the signing of America's Declaration of Independence. But technical problems and lack of money delayed the project by eight years.
At last France presented the statue to the United States. The celebration took place in Paris on July Fourth, Eighteen-Eighty-Four. Americans started building the pedestal that same year. But they had to stop. People had not given enough money to finish the structure. A New York newspaper urged Americans to give more money for the pedestal. People (43) reacted by giving one-hundred-thousand dollars.
VOICE TWO:
Now the huge statue had a pedestal to stand on. In France, the statue was taken apart for shipping to the United States. It was shipped in two-hundred-fourteen wooden boxes.
On October Twenty-Eighth, Eighteen-Eighty-Six, President Grover Cleveland officially accepted Liberty Enlightening the World. He said: "We will not forget that Liberty has here made her home.” Mister Bartholdi and representatives of the French government attended the ceremony. People paraded through the streets of New York. Boats filled the harbor.
((MUSIC BRIDGE))
VOICE ONE:
Over the years Americans shortened the name of the statue. They called it the Statue of Liberty, or Miss Liberty. The statue continued to welcome many immigrants arriving by ship until Nineteen-Twenty-Four. That is when Ellis Island stopped much of its operation. The great wave of immigration to the United States was mostly over.
But millions of visitors kept coming to see the Statue of Liberty. By the Nineteen-Eighties, the statue badly needed repairs. Again people on both sides of the (44) Atlantic Ocean cooperated to raise money. Automobile (45) manufacturer Lee Iacocca led the campaign in the United States. Big companies gave money for the repairs. So did school children. (46) Fireworks lit the sky at the celebration for the restored Statue of Liberty on July Fourth, Nineteen-Eighty-Six.
VOICE TWO: Thousands of people still visit the Statue of Liberty every day. They reach the statue by boat. Many people climb the three-hundred-fifty-four steps to the crown. Or they ride up to observation areas in an elevator. Or they study the story of the statue in a museum in the monument.
The famous poem by Emma Lazarus appears in the museum. The last part of the poem expresses the history of the Statue of Liberty. It says:
"Send these, the homeless, (47) tempest- (48) tost to me.
"I lift my lamp beside the golden door."

TITLE=AGRICULTURE REPORT - Beagle Brigade
BYLINE=George Grow
(Start at 1'00") This is Bill White with the VOA Special English AGRICULTURE REPORT.
Diseases, insects and animals all can threaten agriculture. Often the threat of attack comes from foreign (1) organisms. The United States Department of Agriculture has many ways to protect American agriculture. One of such methods is the (2) Beagle (3) Brigade.
The Beagle Brigade is a group of (4) non-aggressive dogs and their human partners. The dogs work with (5) U-S-D-A inspectors and (6) X-ray equipment to prevent the (7) entry of (8) banned agricultural products into the United States. They search travelers' (9) belongings for banned fruits, plants and meat that could carry harmful organisms.
All dogs have noses that are well built for smelling. Their noses are designed to receive and (10) trap smells.
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service chose beagles for use at airports for several reasons. Beagles are (11) intelligent and active dogs. They are (12) loyal and obey orders. American officials have found that most beagles will remain calm in crowded, noisy areas. They also are (13) gentle with people. And they have an excellent sense of smell.
Experts say beagles can (14) identify smells so weak that even modern scientific technology could not measure them. Beagles also have an excellent (15) ability to identify differences among smells. The part of a dog's brain that receives messages from the (16) nerves of the nose is highly developed. This area can store information the way a computer does.
The Agriculture Department established its program with dogs in Nineteen-Eighty-Four. At first, different kinds of dogs were used. Then officials worked with the armed (17) forces in (18) Texas to train Beagle Brigade teams. In Nineteen-Eighty-Seven, the Department opened three training centers and began training its own teams.
Now the Beagle Brigade has more than fifty teams at twenty-one international airports. More teams are being added. Plans are being made to (19) deploy teams along the American border with (20) Mexico. Plans also call for the use of dogs at some mail centers.
U-S-D-A officials also have provided help to agriculture officials in other countries who want to start their own dog programs. Officials in Australia, Canada, (21) Guatemala, Mexico, New Zealand and (22) South Korea have asked for help.

TITLE=SCIENCE REPORT - Ancient Human Hunters
BYLINE=George Grow
(Start at 1'00") This is Bill White with the VOA Special English SCIENCE REPORT.
Scientists have long (1) debated what caused many kinds of large animals in North America and Australia to (2) disappear. Two new studies (3) blame ancient humans for the disappearance. They say human hunters on both (4) continents may have killed the animals for food. Science magazine reported the findings.
Thirteen-thousand years ago, North America was home to many large (5) mammals. They included (6) woolly (7) mammoths, several kinds of horses, camels and (8) oxen. However, these and many other animals died out soon after. More than seventy percent of the continent's large mammals were affected.
John Alroy of the (9) University of California at Santa Barbara led one of the studies. He developed a computer program to study the effect of human hunters on forty-one kinds of large mammals.
Mister Alroy based his study on (10) evidence that humans first arrived in North America about thirteen-thousand years ago. He examined how a group of about one-hundred humans could grow in number over a period of one-thousand-two-hundred years. Mister Alroy (11) estimated such things as (12) reproduction rates and the amount of food humans need to (13) survive. He found that it was possible for the small group of humans to expand to about three-hundred-thousand members during the period.
Mister Alroy said ancient humans could have killed off many kinds of large animals native to North America. He said the animals that disappeared had low rates of reproduction. This would have prevented them from recovering from the attacks by humans.
Science magazine also reported the findings of a study by Australian, French and American scientists. They studied (14) fossil remains from twenty-eight areas across Australia and (15) Papua New Guinea. The scientists said the fossils show that large animals in the area disappeared about forty-six-thousand years ago. That is a few thousand years after humans arrived.
More than thirty years ago, Paul Martin of the University of (16) Arizona described how the disappearance of large animals was linked with human (17) expansion. He says the two studies support his position. Mister Martin adds that local (18) climate may have influenced the disappearance of some animals.

TITLE=AMERICAN MOSAIC #825 - Mary Richards Statue
BYLINE=Nancy Steinbach
((THEME FROM "MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW"))
HOST:
(Start at 0'54") That is the theme song from an American television program first (1) broadcast in the Nineteen-Seventies. "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" told about a young single woman named Mary Richards. She lived in (2) Minneapolis, (3) Minnesota. The people of that city are planning to honor her. Shirley Griffith has more.
ANNCR:
"The Mary Tyler Moore Show" is still being broadcast on an American (4) cable television network called TV Land. Some (5) critics say it was one of the best television shows ever produced.
The TV Land network is paying about one-hundred-fifty-thousand dollars to build a metal (6) statue of Mary Richards played by Mary Tyler Moore. It says the statue will stand on the street in Minneapolis where Mary Tyler Moore threw her hat into the air at the opening of each show. TV Land hopes to present the statue to the city in the fall.
The (7) mayor of Minneapolis has welcomed the planned statue. Sharon Sayles Belton said Mary Richards was an important (8) character to millions of American women in the Nineteen-Seventies. She also noted that the program showed Minneapolis as a good place to live. Citizens of Minneapolis hope people will want to visit the statue.
Other American cities have built similar statues. (9) Philadelphia, (10) Pennsylvania has a statue of the character Rocky Balboa played by Sylvester Stallone in the movie "Rocky." New York City (11) honors a character from the old television show "The Honeymooners". It has a statue of the bus driver Ralph Cramden, played by Jackie Gleason. The statue is outside New York's main bus station.
Some critics (12) object to the idea of honoring people who never existed. They say it will only create (13) confusion in the future about what was real and what was not. Evan Maurer is (14) director of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. He says enough people are (15) confused already. He lives in the house that is shown on television as the home of Mary Richards. He says people come to his door wanting to know if Mary Richards still lives there.

TITLE=AMERICAN MOSAIC #825 - US Court System
BYLINE=Nancy Steinbach
HOST:
(start at 04'00") Our VOA listener question this week comes in an e-mail from (1) South Korea. Hoon Lee asks about the system of (2) courts in the United States.
The United States court system includes (3) federal and state courts. Federal courts deal with (4) criminal and civil actions (5) involving the United States (6) Constitution or federal laws. Federal courts hear cases involving the United States government. They hear cases between people from different states and cases involving other countries or their citizens. They also hear cases involving situations that took place on the sea and (7) violations of (8) patent and (9) copyright (10) ownership.
Each state has at least one federal (11) district court. District courts are the first courts to hear cases involving violations of federal laws. Then the cases may be tried in courts of (12) appeals. The United States is divided into twelve district areas. Each one has a court of appeals. There is also a federal court of appeals.
The federal court system also includes special courts. They try cases involving claims against the federal government, (13) tax disputes, and (14) military questions. The United States Supreme Court is the highest court in the nation. A person who loses a case either in a federal appeals court or in the highest state court may appeal to the (15) Supreme Court.
State courts receive their power from state constitutions and laws. The first court that hears a case involving a state law is local, such as a county court. Other local courts hear only one kind of case. For example, small claims courts try cases involving small amounts of money. Probate courts handle family (16) financial situations following a death. Other special courts deal with (17) traffic accidents and disputes among family members.
Higher state courts are known as (18) circuit courts, or superior courts. These hear more serious cases. The decisions from these cases may be appealed to an even higher court. The highest court in most states is its supreme court.

TITLE=AMERICAN MOSAIC - John Lee Hooker
BYLINE=Caty Weaver
HOST:
(Start at 07'21") (1) Blues musician John Lee Hooker died at his home near (2) San Francisco, (3) California last month. He was eighty-three years old. Steve Ember tells about one of the most (4) influential blues artists of all time.
ANNCR:
John Lee Hooker was born in (5) Mississippi. His interest in music came early. He sang (6) religious songs in church as a boy.
Hooker's father was a (7) Christian (8) clergyman. He did not approve of his son's interest in music. But John Lee Hooker learned how to play the (9) guitar anyway.
Hooker dreamed of becoming a (10) professional blues singer. His dream came true in Nineteen-Forty-Eight when his first recorded song became a (11) hit. "Boogie Chillen" was one of the most popular (12) Rhythm and Blues songs that year.
(CUT ONE-BOOGIE CHILLEN)
John Lee Hooker was a major influence on other musicians and rock and roll bands. He invited some of them to record with him. The result was Hooker's album "The Healer" (13) released in Nineteen-Eighty-Nine. John Lee Hooker won a (14) Grammy award for a song on the (15) album. It is called "I'm In the Mood". He performs it with Bonnie Raitt.
(CUT TWO-I'M IN THE MOOD)
"The Healer" became the best selling blues album of all time. Hooker said it was the finest recording he ever made. John Lee Hooker is honored in the (16) Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Blues Hall of Fame. He also won five music industry Grammy awards. Last year he received a special Grammy for his lifetime of music. We leave you now with John Lee Hooker singing "Mister Lucky."
