The Blind Spot

The radio's outstanding theatre of thrills brings you an hour, a full 60 minutes of suspense. Tonight, our star, Mr. Edmund O'Brien, our story, The Blind Spot, by Lois Eby and John C. Fleming, a suspense play produced and directed by Anton M. Leader.

It sometimes happens with men and institutions who deal only in facts, and the core logic of scientific deduction, they often underestimate or overlook the unpredictability of the human element. They may covet reason and disregard instinct and emotion. Tonight, against the background of Rogers International Research Institute, pulse of the nation's opinions, we meet Eric Strange, Leland Rogers, Mona Bartlett, and Gregory Rome in a dramatic combination of logic

and fear. And now, with the performance of Edmund O'Brien as Eric and with the blind spot, we again hope to keep you in... SUSPEN! Each of us has a blind spot. Some of many. Blank walls in our minds are memory or opinion.

Walls which we cannot penetrate and so are held back, or because we can't or won't understand, And we try to draw away from the world, run from it, because the blind spot has made us afraid.

I started writing books about this during the war. Maybe you've read or heard about them. Blind spots by Eric Strange. Well, whether you have a haven, there's a little bearing on what I'm about to tell you.

I mentioned it simply by way of introduction, not to myself, but to fear. Yes, it was the blind spot of fear in the mind and heart of Leland Rogers that led to... Well, I'm getting ahead of myself.

Perhaps it's best that you meet Leland Rogers and see him as I did that day when I went to his suite in the Park Central Hotel to settle a business matter. It wasn't our first meeting, but in a way it seemed to be, where as I pressed the buzzer and the door opened.
