...work to be done. Wilson kept careful lists of what he read and what he thought about it. This was the period when he gathered together many of his earlier essays in Classics and Commercials (1950), The Shores of Light (1952) and Red, Black, Blond and Olive (1956). His 60th birthday in 1955 prompted him to offer A Piece of My Mind: Reflections at Sixty (1956). Though this may seem a rather heterogeneous outpouring, there was an underlying coherence.

The three Tonight show hosts plus Lester (who had a pre-Tonight variety show called Broadway Open House in 1950-51) had never gathered before.
