...have been given more prominence. It was one of the century's major sources of entertainment and reigned for 30 years. Without radio, there would have been no TV. Radio first brought to prominence Jack Benny, Amos and Andy, Ozzie and Harriet, Bing Crosby, Benny Goodman, Lucille Ball and Edward R.

One may demur at this, but the show is bound to be a smash hit with the American public, not just because it is full of the yearning sentimentality that has flooded into real life today--for there is a connection between Burne-Jones' semisacrificial English virgins, each one a Flower Beneath the Foot, and the emetically mawkish victim-cult of the late Princess Diana--but because its artfulness evokes intense...
