...insidious suggestions: "TV is a crashing bore," "Goodness, isn't TV dull?" and "Those TV westerns are all the same." Planned but scissored at the last minute: "TV gives you eye cancer." Says a KOL executive: "These jazzy little radio subliminals may not take anybody off the TV kick, but putting them on the air will be a form of public service that will make everybody feel good...
...Fashioned Thumpers. Disarray and disillusionment are also intense on the G.O.P. local level (notable exceptions: New York and California).

Anderson began well. As the experienced Pioneer Club runner, Harry Bright, took lead, Anderson fell in right behind him. There was considerable jostling at the start and the Crimson ace later said that he "had to kick a couple of people to get to the second position." This is, of course, an inevitable part of any big race; and Anderson indicated that he himself was kicked from behind on nearly every curve for the rest of the race...
