Love to Everyone. Godfrey was impressed with the jungle sounds. "Beautiful as an orchestra," he said-but he was also concerned about the noise he was making back home. "Nothing worse than listening to a lot of chatter on the air if you can't make out what I'm saying." He was right. TV Critic John Crosby said he sounded like "Gerald McBoing Boing doing a rock-'n'-roll number with a trio called The Three Sunspots," and what Godfrey didn't know was that back home the studio audience was walking...
After ten years of breakfast-table chatter with some 15,000 headliners on TV and radio, Tex and Jinx McCrary have learned the ABCs of interviewing. In their latest inquisition, a five-a-week daytime TV show called Close-Up, they have overextended themselves, and the result is a sort of compost: a pinch of Ralph Edwards' This Is Your Life and a watered-down heap of Mike Wallace's Night Beat (which McCrary says is "a carbon copy of one of my old shows").

Then the ladies floated to the French salon on a cloud of chatter, admired the companion-piece oval Boucher paintings as they gossiped. The gentlemen warmed their brandy in the Lord Nelson room, surrounded by Elizabethan paneling that Nelson himself had admired when it was on the walls of a bedroom in the Star Hotel at Great Yarmouth. The party then assembled...
