...century English air). Listeners have sent in valentines, poems, flowers and art work to show their appreciation. Congressman Albert Morano of Connecticut saluted "the marked contrast to the claptrap coming from other stations." Composer Richard Rodgers wrote a grateful letter on behalf of his ill wife; Cartoonist Milton (Steve Canyon) Caniff said: "Like many another night worker, I am your ardent supporter." A group...
Early in the Pick-Sloan plan, the Montana Power Co. made a determined but unsuccessful effort to prevent the Bureau of Reclamation from building a power-generating station as part of the Canyon Ferry Dam across the Missouri near Helena. Since then, private power companies in the valley have acclimated themselves to a policy of uneasy coexistence with the Government projects.

Dostoevsky made a pre-Freudian exploration of the grand canyon that separates a man's public acts from his private thoughts-the split in the human atom.

Among the characters mouthing wooden dialogue in this little iron-horse opera: Dean Jagger and J. Carrol...
...Hunter, who speaks no English and is resentful of white men, runs away from the Chinle school and is pursued by a friendly Government teacher and a Ute interpreter. After a protracted, melodramatic chase through colorful Arizona country, one of the men is injured on a steep canyon slope. At this point, the picture drops its real problem in favor of artificial plot: the boy abruptly reconciles himself to white civilization in a finish that is psychologically and sociologically lame. Independently produced on a shoestring ($100,000) by 29-year-old Actor Hall Bartlett (who also appears in the picture...
