...Most people in this country associate the arts with the effete," he claims, "and most theater is so pallid now. Actually the theater is a very powerful, masculine kind of thing." The one common characteristic of all of the plays that Papp produces-including a few that are just plain awful-is a kind of animal energy and movement.

Impressed, the station decided to do virtually that. It ran a contest, with the prize being not only Schubeck but also Fellow Newscaster Joseph Benti, a staff of technicians, a truckload of cameras and cables, and all the paraphernalia needed to deliver a newscast straight from the winner's own home...
