I believe this is a film but so far I don't have the film.  I just have the transcript.

Long introduction of Eaton.  In Interview Topics include "no regrets and no fears", relationship with Khrushchev, able wives, (Asked Anne Eaton what it was like to be married to Eaton,) qualifications to be international mediator, role of Canada in international affairs, need to recognize China in UN, role of education in science, history, philosophy, important role of women in future of Pugwash Conferences, (Anne talks about conversations with others in foreign countries); Canada more objective in news reporting due to antipathy of US toward USSR, reform and danger in espionage, Khrushchev's desire for peace, U-2 incident, early Pugwash conferences and Eaton's changing role, (Anne Eaton talks about raising ducks and geese in Nova Scotia). Final question is it possible to have peace in our times?
