Mention should also be made of the faithful recorded programs which, although they may lack the glamor and expectancy of a live concert, nevertheless continue to give enjoyment to many. The Crimson Network should be mentioned, as should WMEX, and the 11:30 o'clock Columbia Masterworks program, and a host of others.

Green-eyed, feather-haired Greer Garson clutched her gold-painted plastic Oscar and silently wept. "This is the most wonderful thing. . . . I feel just like Alice in Wonderland." Other Oscars...
