Soon surprised housewives found themselves listening to civic officials solemnly discussing city problems-and many picked up their telephones to prod the politicians. They became fascinated by doctors' explaining hypnosis in childbirth, psychiatrists detailing environmental and hereditary factors in mental illness. Local Announcer John McCormick soothed them by purring Robert Burns's Despondency and Christopher Marlowe's The Passionate Shepherd to His Love...
