...whys start colliding with the wherefores. There is a group, for example, that could be called the Inexplicables. Why would a girl with a graceful name like Harriette Lake want to change it to Ann Sothern? John F.

...nine hours of U.S. shows. And the BBC supplied another eight. Caught up in the cultural invasion, armchair wayfarers could head out with Wagon Train or Highway Patrol. With tea they got Annie Oakley, Mickey Mouse, Popeye; with cocktails it was Lucille Ball in Lucy or Ann (Private Secretary) Sothern; with the bedtime mild-and-bitter came OSS, or Lee Marvin's M Squad. On commercial channels in the south, Midlands, and north, screens flashed with Wild Bill Hickok, Lassie. Joe Friday, Martin Kane or Flash Gordon...
