...since Harvard men were prominent in its organization, a direct connection with the University was made possible. The political cannon trained their muzzles on Plan E, and finding the range to be the same as that of Harvard, banged away all the more happily in that knowledge.

From the vocation of making radios to the avocation of radio broadcasting was a short shunt and the upshot was station WLW, most powerful in the world along with Moscow's RVI. WLW sends out such big charges (500,000 watts) that neighbors report hearing hillbilly bands in their drainpipes and lighting electric...
