Although he is profane and frequently ribald away from his mike, Mr. Anthony when wired for sound is as full of virtue as a revivalist. Ladies periodically knocked around by their husbands, men whose wives tend to wander indiscriminately, are uniformly advised by Mr. Anthony that life is beautiful and love will conquer all. The ill winds that blow through his microphone bring Mr. Anthony an estimated $3,000 a week...
Through a delightful realm of fantasy, burlesque, satire, medieval curiosa and gentle moralizing wander countless strange folk, such as the Cockney knight, Sir Meliagrance ("Yes, Ma'am, in 'arf a minute"). Typical episode: Lancelot stuck his sword in the ground, and went over to examine the wound. . . . "You've cut open my liver" said the man accusingly...

Presided over by a glum, bald, dead-pan wag named Julio Zetina, the Bristol-Myers program...
...quarters in a future war with invading Japanese forces. To most Washingtonians it was simply "Sam Hill's Folly." This week, nine years after Sam Hill died, Maryhill Castle (named after his wife Mary Hill) was opened as an art museum. Visitors who climbed the slopes to wander through its 40 rooms found a complete throne room decked with gold furniture from Marie's palace in Bucharest, Marie's crown, coronation robe, and clusters of her jewelry. Pictures had been lent by the Philadelphia and San Francisco Art Museums, Manhattan's Museum of Modern...
