I posted this today on Craigslist and last night on Youtube.  I bought a cassette tape of the radio broadcast of the story '1984' by George Orwell.  I bought the tape at the Barnes and Noble superbookstore in Boston's Downtown Crossing.  The story is interesting for taking a 'second person singular' tone of narration.  Many parts begin with "You..."  The Hollywood actor David Niven is the main character, Winston Smith.  I like the story because it gets to the heart of the story in less than one hour.
