...kids get most of their notions about rock 'n' roll from the radio. One rock radio station offers coloring books as a tie-in promotion for sponsors.

...year-old David Sarnoff, chairman of the massive Radio Corporation of America, Brigadier General of the Army in World War II and adviser to five Presidents, resents those years of everlasting drudgery and clammy poverty, and the denial of a normal family life. Eugene Lyons, Sarnoff's first cousin and a senior editor of the Reader's Digest, suggests that this deprived childhood sparked the insatiable drive for success which marked Sarnoffs public career.
