...hardly seems to miss Howdy Doody, Fulton J. Sheen, Milton Berle or Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts. But then there is Dave Garroway. Rising out of Chicago in the late 1940s, he blazed the interview show trail with a questing curiosity, melodious baritone voice, quiet manner, and a mind like spun glass-intricate but clear. Plus, of course, thick-rimmed glasses that gave a whole generation of imitators that owlish look. After 1961, when he felt compelled to quit because of his wife's death, he became just a memory. Yet even today, when a videophile hears...
...fans no longer have to rely on memory. The man who became his era's favorite radio disk jockey, then gave television Garroway at Large and launched the Today show is back at work in a 90-minute, late-morning local show in Boston...
...scientific prize so far is a dummy of the late Albert Einstein, borrowed from a local wax museum. Garroway sat the dummy down, leaned over cozily, and began a conversation: "I remember that once you wrote on a blackboard a little equation-E equals me squared-and there were, I think, just eleven men in the world who were wise enough to understand it at the time.

As he happily addresses Boston's late-morning housewives, he refuses to talk down to them, and insists on "informing as many people as possible, by whatever wiles we have, so that they can understand the nature of reality." His competition consists of Hollywood Squares, Concentration, The Art Linkletter Show, Beverly Hillbillies reruns and, inevitably, The Loretta Young Show. Reality being what it is, that line-up may defeat his efforts. But so far, despite occasional...
...have divided their subjects into two groups. The "A" man is aggressive and harddriving, the kind of competitor who hates to lose. He is almost surely heading for trouble. The "B" man is more relaxed. He does not take his problems away from the office, and he is occasionally late to work. He also lives longer. Since the study began, 250 of its subjects have had heart attacks-nearly three out of four were "A" men. "The old Horatio Alger story," says Dr. Friedman, "is becoming the biggest killer in the U.S." The doctors cannot yet explain the link between...
