...clients and just check into a motel, dial-hop around the radio, and then decide how to beat the competition. For example, the program director of Memphis' WHBQ says that his Drake-ordered strategy is to go for "the schoolteacher who lets her hair down, forgets the Mantovani, and swings a little...
Venus Examined, by Robert Kyle (345 pages; Bernard Geis; $5.95), and The Experiment, by Patrick Skene Catling (317 pages; Trident Press; $5.95), give the reader the astonishingly vivid impression that he is listening to sex manuals being read aloud to the thousand strings of Mantovani.

He even decides the order: Mantovani on early, when the audience is biggest; heavier music for the wee-hours elite; then progressively lighter as the milkmen switch on. Hall and the other deejays only announce the selections, rip and read the news, voice the commercials. Sometimes, when a big commercial plane crash is in the news, there is a moratorium on commercials...
