...fortnightly tabloid which one admirer calls "a New Yorker with its shoes off." For its pheasant-under-glass audience, the homey Crier dishes up an oatmeal fare. It treats everybody in Hollywood Hills as if they were small-town neighbors. The Crier reports their most trivial doings at home-and treats Reader Charlie Chaplin the same as his postman-and it pointedly ignores their outside accomplishments. When a subscriber wins an Academy Award, it isn't news for the Crier. But when Reader Irene Dunne traps a skunk in her house, it is. The Crier is a success because...
Even then, old radiomen kept their eyes on Sarnoff. He is the man who put radio in the home-and never forgets it for a waking moment.

This is the complete opposite of the life which a Christian should live and which the Church of the Amish teaches. Despite this, Yoder has insisted on remaining an Amishman, continues to wear a beard and wants...
Usually he arrives at his office on the 29th floor of Rockefeller Center's RCA Building at 9 a.m. He dislikes paper shuffling so much that his broad, flat-topped desk is almost always clean of everything except a big blotter. At 5 p.m. he usually leaves for home-and he tries not to take any work with him. On the way, he drops in at the University Club for a swim. He feels that a little exercise every day is the reason why he has not missed a day's work in 30 years...
