It happened through CBS radio's lively tabloid report on "The Business of Sex" (TIME, Jan. 26), which alleged wholesale pimping by U.S. business to soften up clients. Murrow himself had got into the act only three weeks before showtime, read a script somebody else had written for him with his usual sonorous solemnity.
