Looking for a new post, he was willing to accept a cut to as low as $9,000. He sent out 100 resumes, listed himself with five employment agencies, got written recommendations from his Senators, J.

...while," he explains, "people began to hate The Blue Danube and switch over to the other station. But when they did, all they heard was news. At the end of 30 days, most of the kids in town thought our competition was an all-news station." In Pine Bluff, Ark., figuring he could do just as Welles, he simulated a ten-man news team reporting a fictitious attack on the city by a giant amoeba...
