...tempo of the music picks up and you know that the Dynamic Duo are off on another adventure. But this escapade is not like any you may have read about in Detective Magazine or Batman Comics; the serial was made in 1943 and the plot is drenched with a kind of propaganda our generation has rarely ever seen. The Batman (the "the" wasn't dropped until after the war) is described as "the United States' number one crime-fighter, even now as the Axis criminals are spreading their evil around the globe...
...botanical and geological expedition to Labrador in 1931, in explore the interior and the coastline. Flying his own seaplane, he mapped the entire area, and his work was used to lay out a northern air route to Europe during World War II. The U.S. government employed him to take serial photographs of the first hydrogen bomb test on Bekiui Atoll...
Such adventures might rival an old Tarzan serial, except for old Conrad's pesky profundity. Occasionally, Brooks backtracks to gather up a few platitudes about fate, courage and honor, and asks his actors to breathe life into them.

Handwriting experts told the Commission that the coupon ordering the weapon, the signature on a money order to pay for it and the address on the envelope all were written by Oswald's hand. Oswald's wallet contained...
...heyday of the radio serial, roughly from 1933 to 1956, the heroes changed actors dozens of times. There were three Lone Rangers, two of whom are still alive and collecting royalties. Unfortunately for scores of actors who might otherwise be cashing in on the reruns, no one ever bothered to keep recordings of such microphone memorabilia as Buck Rogers, Jack Armstrong, or even Little Orphan Annie; if any exist, there are not enough to put together a series...
