In the '60s, I'd sit at the console and do the breaks (no automation then) during Godfrey's show and spend most of the time flirting with the receptionist, or the copywriter, or the bookkeeper. I'd pay attention to AG only to see how close we were to a break and sometimes lit out running. But my ears did perk up when Ty Boyd (WBT) used to substitute when AG was off. That was another Carolina boy making good.

Stevenson was the Illinois Senator who lost in 1952 and 1956. He was the last Democrat candidate to refuse Mob help to win election, and the 1956 election was the last with honest numbers from Illinois and other Mob-controlled states.
