Nice story, Andy! Man, I have dug up some broadcasts -- both radio and TV -- from that era in researching some family trails and it is amazing how bloody stultified almost everyone in public forums was in those days -- it was a style, or a group mass consciousness, that you had to talk as though you had rags in your mouth and a ramrod up your backside...it was "de rigeur". pardon the expression. The artifice of that era is still discomfiting to me...no wonder the kids exploded in the 60's! They (we) were fighting for sanity!
