Fabulous story within about McCord inviting Feherty into the tower and Director Chirkinians vehement refusal.
“NO,NO, NO...DON’T PUT THAT CRAZY IRISHMAN ON THE AIR, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.”

“Ready one, take one. Ready 2, take 2.” Not much to that one.

Wasn't aware that Armenians cared about anyone other than Turks.
