Manhattan-born Abram S. Burrows, who looks like an accountant or a salesman (he has been both), worked as a Wall Street runner, a board boy, a coat label peddler until he was nearly 30. Then he sold gags to Eddie Garr, the mimic, for $125. That turned him into a radio writer. Until last summer, he wrote Duffy's Tavern...
...such a race, Russia would depend largely on two scientists: big, bulky Abram Feodorovitch Joffe, distinguished for work in electronics and molecular physics; and Dr. Peter Kapitza, who visited Moscow in 1935, after 13 years at Britain's Cambridge, and was refused permission to leave when he made ready to return.

The "theater" was an oven of a public-library basement. The seats were hard camp chairs. The company was a small, experimental, rehearse-after-work group. The play itself was billed as the one about the prostitute who attempts to go straight. It looked as if the audience and actors alike were in for an awful beating...
