Readers with computer links to Internet have access to the Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty

Daily Report, a concise six-page compendium of late-breaking news from the former Soviet Union and East Central Europe. The Daily Report is available by sending a subscribe "rferl-1" command to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. BUFFALO.EDU. Only a small percentage of the Daily Report or the companion RFE/RL Research Report deals directly with religion, but the pieces that do, written by competent analysts, deserve a wide audience. Research libraries are the best source for the Research Report due to the high subscription cost.
