...Constitution Publisher and Syndicated Columnist Ralph McGill watches "with great frequency." TV Chef Julia Child does her morning calisthenics by it. On the West Coast, Danny Kaye and Pat Brown are fans. In Manhattan, Today is one of the two programs (the other: the Huntley-Brinkley Report) that RCA Boss David Sarnoff watches regularly, and even William Paley, board chairman of rival CBS, is said to find Today irresistible...
