Once upon a time there lived in Inglewood, Calif, an earnest young man wallet-deep in difficulties.

...victim turn on the inquisitor and cut him down to size. Last week it happened. In Manhattan, WABD's Night Beat filled its "hot seat" with Journalist Randolph Churchill, only son of Sir Winston. He listened politely to his introduction as a man who has been labeled "outspoken, ill-tempered and fearless." But when TV Torquemada John Wingate brought up the "unfortunate incident involving the arrest of your sister Sarah in California" (TIME, Jan. 27), Churchill more than lived up to his billing...
