The story of the Pacific and its people. Of the peaceful sea and the lands and lives it touches, and their meaning to us and to the generations to come. The Pacific story, presented by the National Broadcasting Company as a public service, and dedicated to a full understanding of the vast Pacific Basin.

This broadcast series comes to you as another feature of the NBC Inter-American University of the Air, with drama of the past and present and commentary by Dr. Yoo-Shan Han of Shanghai vis-a-ving professor of history at the University of California, Los Angeles from Clive to Gandhi.

I'm quick for clap. Then go. There's the signal. They're walking a plant. Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, six. Clive missed. The subaltern is holding his fire. Why doesn't he fire? The subaltern is rushing his clap with his pistol.
