In the course of action the Waves get both Betty Huttons, Bing gets the sensible sister, and the bobby-sock twin gets left with Sonny Tufts, who doesn't seem to care...
...Ruppel, 41, is a stocky, 6-ft. hellraiser, raised in Brooklyn and adept at hurling four-letter words out of either side of his mouth.

Now back in the fold (CBS, 10 p.m. Tues., E.W.T.) with his salary doubled ($500 weekly), Corwin, who is responsible for much of U.S. radio's adult fare (Words Without Music, We Hold These Truths, My Client Curley, An American in England, The Odyssey of Runyon Jones), was off on a fresh 26-program...
