Yes, the Gordon that wrote that radio script died back then, he was quite the old fellow. Funny how, although written back in the 70's with regard to the bashing the US was taking for the whole Viet Nam thing, yet even today his words hold true to the letter.
Then you get people like Soul and others that think they know better than such a learned man as Mr. Sinclair, and call his words horseshit or drivel or whatever. Back in the 70's when he wrote that script he had forgotten more about foreign policy and international morals than guys like them will ever know.
I used to watch Mr Sinclair, Betty Kennedy, old Pierre Burton and Alan Fotheringham on "Front Page Challenge", a national political debate and TV's longest-running panel discussion. Old Gordon used to rock in those debates.

Over the years, some of the show's guests included figures as diverse as Indira Gandhi--saying she would never go into politics--Eleanor Roosevelt, hockey player Gordie Howe, Tony Bennett, and Errol Flynn, along with Mary Pickford, a Canadian and one of cinema's first stars. Walter Cronkite even announced his new job as CBS anchor on the program.
