CBS Radio presents the CBS Radio Workshop dedicated to man's imagination, the theater of the mind. This is Elliot Lewis. I believe there's a place for experimental drama in radio. CBS Radio also believes this, hence the radio workshop.
The play you're going to hear is such an experiment. It's debatable whether it's too personal an experience. I don't think it is. and CBS radio has been kind enough to give me the time to find out.

So tired. I'll stay with you. I won't go there. I won't take you. I'll stay right here. Number 18 it was on a wide end run, the opposing tackle in black trunks,
