Perhaps there is.....   According to a flier that the Museum of Fine Arts 
sent out, one of the items in it was a mention of "Radio France 
Internationale" News, and that it can be heard in the Boston area on "WBUR-AM 
740".   They must be hiring Globe radio writers.     ---     But isn't there 
really a WBUR AM?  The 1240 station on Cape Cod.???  Yes?
