- This recording opens with an introduction of the program by Boyd Lewis. The first segment, which begins at 1:39, is a segment about a mural in the Little Five Points neighborhood of Atlanta. The mural was created by artist David Fichter, and was made as an anti-war and anti-nuclear arms race monument. The program includes audio excerpts from Fichter and fundraiser Don Bender. The second segment, which begins at 11:04, is a rebroadcast of a "Southwind" feature that aired earlier in 1984 about the first solar eclipse of the sun seen in Atlanta since 1900. The program features audio excerpts from Jim Summers of the Fernbank Science Center, and unidentified Atlantans viewing the eclipse as it happens near Georgia Tech and in Piedmont Park.The program ends with a sign off by Boyd Lewis.
