INTIMATE STRANGERS
War correspondent and television pioneer, Sir Geoffrey Cox is the eminent New Zealander now living in England who talks to James McNeish tonight in the new Concert Programme series “Intimate Strangers” (9 p.m.). Geoffrey Cox says on this programme: “The only reason I got stuck in Madrid in 1936 was that I was too inexperienced to organise an escape route . . . But I had a most amazing run of luck. You’ve got to have luck to be a war correspondent.”
