[Homer_J_Simpson]

“Tonight: Invited to NBC as a guest commentator in the immediate wake of V-E Day, Hughes (who is no stranger to old-time radio, having been an intermission guest on a few Lux Radio Theater installments) will speak of heroes and heroism and its meaning as American loved ones await the return of their husbands, their children who have fought World War II in Europe—especially in light of ancient definitions (particularly those of ancient Egypt) of the term which the historian in Hughes cannot resist reviewing while the wit in Hughes cannot resist finding its amusements.”
