This week, a look back at the career of the late Sergei Mikhalkov. During World War Two, Mikhalkov wrote the lyrics to the Soviet national anthem. Decades later, he composed the words for Russia's national anthem-- to the same piece of music. Also, a conversation with Keith Spicer on Canada's 40-year-old language laws. Spicer was the country's first enforcer of bilingualism. Finally, the British government apologizes for its treatment of Alan Turing, who helped break the Nazis' war codes.<img id="pri-insights" src=" http://api.pri.org/insights/?story=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pri.org%2Fstories%2F... />
