Flood on the Goodwins

Suspents and the producer of radios outstanding theater of thrills the master of mystery and adventure William and Robeson Wars are fought between nations and ideologies and often the unit of battle is forgotten man Forgotten smothered beneath the confusion of propaganda slogans Shivaless and gods endorsement of the sacred cause forgotten in the glorious statistics of battle, dismembered, flash-burned, bone-rotting, dying,

and dead. Man is what fights the wars. Only the perspective of literature brings the fighting man into focus, and so out of each war comes a handful of great stories in which all the forces of two opposing worlds are reduced to the life and death struggle of two opposing men.

Such a story you are about to hear. Listen, listen then, as Herbert Marshall stars in Flood on the Good Winds, which begins in exactly one minute. American folklore is filled with legends about men who were as tough as nails, like the one about Pecos Bill, who went out for a walk one day.

Unfortunately, a big ten-foot rattler crossed his path. I say, unfortunately, for the rattler. You see, Bill was a mighty fair fighter. he gave that Rattler the first three bites just to make things even. Then he waited into that reptile and he ever lastingly thrashed the poison out of him.

By and by that old Rattler yelled for mercy and admitted that when it come to fight, Bill started where he left off. Yes, that was Pecos Bill, a legendary American. folklore belongs to every nation's legendary past and I guess we Americans have our share of some tall ones like the one about, but we'll have to

save that one for the next time we travel your way. See you then. And now Mr. Herbert Marshall in, flood down the good winds. A tail well calculated to keep you in. Is that another one? Where? Off the starboard. Oh no, no, it's a mattress.
