Firming up the Star's editorial positions, the editorial writing staff emerges periodically from the ivory tower to gather firsthand information, plant ideas, and lobby for the Star's causes.

...sort of Quizzard of Oz, he had also developed Quiz Kids and Stop the Music. Thoughtful, well-read Lou Cowan ran CBS with due regard for public affairs programs (Ed Murrow) and serious drama (Playhouse go), but remained strongly identified in the trade with quiz shows. And the wind that blew him down last week stemmed clearly from the TV scandals.
