...perennially powerful CRIMSON nine, led by Captain B. Eames "Slim" Nelson, overwhelmed WHRB yesterday afternoon, 23 to 2, behind the two-hit pitching of the Crime's ace hurler, John "Fireball" Adler. The radiomen claimed fatigue as the reason for their defeat. As one member said, following the contest, "An orgy can take a lot out of a man." He was referring to the station's recent all-night music shows...

The voice beat upon more than 18,000 people -seekers and servers of the Lord as well as the merely curious-and it etched itself upon the sliding ribbons of the tape recorders set up by radiomen.

He spent 38 hours there and breathed a mixture of helium and oxygen to help flush out the nitrogen. At the end, Oyama could stand shakily...
...National Council of Churches. The increase and popularity of religious programs is often cited as a happy sign of a wide religious revival in the U.S., but Dr. Pope found little on the U.S. air to be happy about. No irate sponsor has ever given TV and radiomen a sharper tongue-lashing...
