Part 1 (U.S. Mss 85AF; PH U.S. Mss 85AF; PH 3238; Audio 433A): Original
Collection, 1953-19755.6 cubic feet (14 archives boxes), 0.3 cubic feet of photographs (1 archives
box and 1 folder) and 1 tape recording The Goralski Papers, which relate solely to his broadcasting career, divide into
correspondence, writings, scripts, and miscellaneous material. Radio and television
scripts written for NBC between 1961 and 1975 comprise the major portion of the
collection. The small section of CORRESPONDENCE spans the period 1953 to 1970. It is divided into
NBC, Committee for Free Asia, and general sections. The NBC correspondence is comprised
of letters and memoranda concerning internal network policy and several off-the-record
interviews. The letters and memoranda relating to the Committee for Free Asia document
the implementation of Goralski's proposal for a cultural exchange via radio. The slim
general correspondence file includes exchanges with the University of Nebraska and
Journalism Quarterly regarding the
publication of two articles. Also to be found here is a reply to several students who
criticized Goralski's coverage of Madame Nhu's lecture at Fordham University in October,
1963. The WRITINGS, 1953-1968, include speeches, articles, and an unpublished book manuscript
and generally reflect Goralski's expertise in Asian affairs. Thematically, the materials
written between 1953 and 1961 concern Far Eastern radio broadcasting. Also included with
the writings are graduate school papers written at Johns Hopkins School for Advanced
International Studies in 1960 and 1961. One of these papers is a lengthy manuscript
which examines relations between Asia and Israel. Goralski's writings while at NBC
include an unpublished manuscript detailing the logistics of weekend news coverage for
President Kennedy, an article published by TV
Guide concerning President Johnson's poise before television cameras, three
articles on Viet Nam written for the 1966-1968 Encyclopedia Brittanica Yearbooks, and an outline and two chapters for an
incomplete book on Viet Nam. The SCRIPTS, 1959-1975, were written for NBC, the Voice of America, and the U.S. Navy
and are subdivided into radio and television productions; individual series are arranged
alphabetically by title. Within each series the scripts are arranged
chronologically. Profiles of various American universities, news analyses, and a series based on a world
tensions conference can be found in the two folders of VOA radio scripts. There is also
one script written by Goralski as a Navy combat correspondent which was aired over
Time for Defense, a commercially
broadcast Defense Department program. The NBC radio scripts, 1961-1975, are the heart of the collection. News on the Hour, the five minute program
broadcast many times each day, was Goralski's most frequent assignment, and his scripts
for this program are the most extensive group of reports in the collection. Most of
Goralski's accounts of the Viet Nam war which were written during his trips in 1965 and
1968 are filed in this section. News scripts for Monitor, NBC's weekend programming, document another
important Goralski responsibility. There are also scripts pertaining to his stints as
host of Today in Washington and World News Roundup, NBC's early morning
report. The single Brinkley report folder contains the text of radio programs in which
Goralski substituted for David Brinkley between 1968 and 1975. Programs such as Weekend Report,
News in Depth, World of Washington, The War Today, and News of the World, the program for which Morgan Beatty was editor and
principal commentator, represented infrequent assignments; consequently only a few
scripts from these programs are to be found in the collection. Three short scripts
concerning Green Beret war crimes, Defense Secretary Melvin Laird's first news
conference, and the 1968 Tet offensive comprise the Radio Hotline material. Goralski's personal observations are
recorded in the scripts from Emphasis,
a program designed to dispense with some strictures of conventional reporting.
Also represented is his participation in two segments of Second Sunday, the award-winning documentary series. A
diversity of topics ranging from Algeria to Viet Nam is contained in the folder of
special reports. The miscellaneous radio scripts file contains items for which the
program format could not be identified. Many of the events touched on in the radio scripts may also be found with television
scripts. The majority of these pertain to the Huntley-Brinkley Report, its successor Nightly News, and Today. There are also scripts from the Day Report and Afternoon Report, which Goralski occasionally anchored between 1962 and 1965,
and Morning Report. Also available are
the five-minute news updates broadcast at various times during the day. The material
from Saturday Report, Sunday Report, Congressional Report, Washington Report, Eleventh Hour News, Frank McGee's
Saturday and Sunday Reports, and Situation Reports represents only sporadic
contributions, as do the infrequent syndicated reports. The collection contains two
transcripts from Meet the Press
programs on which Goralski was a panel member. Within the Huntley-Brinkley
material, are some scripts entitled “Viet Nam, 1968,” which are of interest
because of the notations on production, background, and editorial concerns. In
correspondence with the Society, Goralski commented that although they were primarily
prepared for Huntley-Brinkley, some were also broadcast on Today. The Goralski papers include scripts from many special television news programs that he
worked on during his years with NBC. Of primary interest is an NBC White Paper program, “United States Foreign
Policy,” a report on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee inquiry into Communist
China. A folder of assorted special reports includes scripts on such significant events
as James Meredith's enrollment at the University of Mississippi in 1962, various
national elections, Robert Kennedy's assassination, and Watergate. Only two television
interrupts, one concerning President Nixon's final report on Cambodia and the other
announcing Senate ratification of the Cooper-Church amendment, are available in the
collection. The last folder of the television news reports contains unidentified
television scripts. There is also one folder of scripts for which the media could not be
identified. The MISCELLANEOUS MATERIAL, 1971-1973, consists chiefly of reference material collected
by Goralski during the course of his association with NBC. This material consists of
such things as cables, press releases, network instructions, and various kinds of
printed matter pertaining to subjects such as the 1967 Middle East war, the Pentagon
Peace March, Lynda Johnson's White House wedding, the Eisenhower funeral, and the Pueblo affair. The majority of this section, however, consists
of Radio-TV Defense Dialogs, which are
summaries of media reports on military subjects prepared by the Department of Defense.
Although many newscasters are covered, the collection only contains those dates on which
Goralski was mentioned. The PHOTOGRAPHS relate to the Korean and Vietnam wars, defense charts, and the United States space program. The collection is supplemented by one TAPE, a Polish Voice of America broadcast, which
includes biographical information and a discussion of the profession of journalism and
freedom of the press in the United States.
