...Rules for an Introvert. Don is helped by a funnyman named Sam Cowling, whose greatest laugh-getter is his habit of falling over his own feet, and by Fran Allison (of Kukla, Fran & Ollie) who plays the part of a gabby female. The three show-stopping features are 1) "Memory Time" (mostly sentimental poems), 2) "Prayer Time" (strictly nonsectarian), and 3) "The March Around the Table," in which the kids in the audience play follow-the-leader, led by Sam Cowling. McNeill also interviews selected guests, ranging from such visiting stars as Bob Hope to such personalities as Elmer Feagin...

Vermont's Senator Ralph Flanders, who drops his Rs in New England fashion, asked to have "shop practices" spelled.

...mother superior hardly knew what to make of it. Here was a nun in her 20s, an attractive French girl with a wisp of brown hair sticking out from under the light blue veil of her habit, walking about alone in the streets of Madrid. What the nun told the mother superior, in a combination of French and halting Spanish, was almost equally surprising: she had come from Aix-en-Provence to establish the first house of her order, the Little Sisters of Jesus, in Spain. She asked the mother superior of the Casa de la Virgen for hospitality until...
