Suspens. Videos outstanding. Peter of frills brings you an hour. A full 60 minutes of suspense. Tonight, starring Mr. Robert Ryan and Miss Ruth Warwick in a play by Deborah Freeman entitled Beyond Reason, edited and directed by Anton M. Leader and produced by Robert Montgomery.

This is Robert Montgomery. For well over a year on the average of five times a week, my newsboy and I have engaged in in the same spirited conversation. Each evening I greet him with anything in the papers, and each evening he answers with, no, same old stuff.

Then I spend part of the evening reading the Chronicle of the Days events, the same old stuff. And I learn that the tensions in the world are greater or lesser, that some people want high taxes and some people want low, that some people are born and some are married and some are divorced

and some are dead. same old stuff. Yesterday a man walked out into his front porch, lost his balance on the top step, and one minute later he was dead. An hour ago a wife in Fort Wayne, Indiana, went to the hospital. Ten minutes ago she became a mother. One cycle of life completed, another

just beginning. And the newspaper will report them both, clearly, accurately, and without editorial comment.
