Murrow also broadcast the news for 15 minutes every weekday night for 13 years, beginning each program with the solemn intonation: "This ... is ... the . . . news." Murrow hosted a lightweight but highly profitable program, Person to Person, in which he invaded two celebrities' homes each week to exchange idle but engaging...
...heartiest applause came when speakers stepped down from the podium. Laughter, cheers, hisses, so lusty in the heyday of political activism at Harvard two years ago, were scarcely dared. People came to be educated, and in the proper Harvard manner were tastefully bored...
