...sets to rival the most elaborate constructions of C.B. DeMille. It is doubtful if anything since the soothsayer at the campfire so gripped the collective human consciousness. It was no accident that ancient radios were often shaped like cathedrals. Listeners gathered round them with a concentration that bordered on worship. (In accordance with the nostalgia revival, those Gothic appliances are being remade, but now they are composed of plastic and run on transistors.) Oldtime daytime broadcasts were principally devoted to the knitted brow and the purling organ of soap operas. Our Gal Sunday asked the question: "Can this girl from...

Madison and Monroe have large Appalachain Mountain Club Huts on their sides, and Jefferson is too much like the Alps. But Adams is different...
