Quotes

  • Most educators and students are familiar with Columbia's American School of the Air, which was established in 1930 and today has a weekly audience of millions throughout the school year. These broadcasts, prepared under the supervision of distinguished educators, typify in many ways Columbia's whole roster of educational and cultural programs. In themselves, however, they are a well-planned and cumultative course of education by radio, presented five days a week each autumn, winter, and spring.
  • I had an early passion for reading, especially for Horatio Alger stories. I went to the public library almost every day, and when I found a Horatio Alger book I had not read before, it was like finding a gold mine.
  • Ed Sullivan proved his talent as a showman who could attract the best and most timely performers from all four corners of the world of entertainment.
  • We the People (6/1/48) began on CBS Television as the first regularly scheduled network program series simulcast.
