Transcript

The FBI and Peace and War ordinarily heard at this time throughout the year as taking its usual summer vacation and will return to CDS five weeks from tonight on September 1st. Broadway's My Beat from Times Square to Columbus Circle, the godiest, the most violent, the lonesome-est mile in the world.

Broadway's My Beat with Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clove. Brought away, it's an enchanted island or a prison, a crazy happy dance or a funeral march in blues time. It's a sorceress palace with golden mirrors and jeweled fountains, or it's a wailing wall corroded with pain.

Call it anything you want. It's my beat. One of the ways to get on my beat is to infiltrate through the grim lines of people trying to buy tickets to South Pacific. Those people are going to mutiny someday.

It was about nine in the morning and a good thing happened to me. The good thing was a kid named Paul Thomas a sweet kid But gentle kid a kid who'd wrapped himself in iron to stall off the pain so many people handed to him for free Mr. Clover, Mr. Clover could I talk to you for a minute sure Paul sure any place anytime.
