Description:
Radio Mirror (later known as Radio and Television Mirror) was a fan magazine for radio listeners and later TV viewers that includes profiles of the stars, visits to radio and television studios, and program listings. The early years in the 1930s show the interaction of motion pictures, recordings, the stage, radio and even politics. The role of radio in World War II is well covered in the 1940s, and by the 1950s the focus shifts to television and a new generation of personalities. -- David Pierce, 2013

"Brother, are they asking for it!" said a fellowstudent. "Calling themselves bachelors while they're in Van's geology class! Hasn't anyone ever told them?" He was referring to the legend that is beginning to surround the classes of Professor Van Amringe. It's even said that "Van" himself is a testimonial to the matrimonial magnetism of geology classes — Shaving met on a field trip the lady who is now Mrs. Van Amringe. "I'd heard the talk about Van's class being a sure-fire route to the altar," laughs James Devine now, "but I didn't think it applied in my case. I had other things on my mind." One of those things on his mind was Jimmy's determination to be a writer. Like so many veterans, he was uncertain of his future when he stepped out of Uncle Sam's khaki and into civilian clothes again. Then came a chance for a trip through Mexico — ^and out of that trip came a new slant on life. . "I talked with aU kinds of people on that trip," Jinuny explains, "all nationalities, and from almost every walk of life. And as I talked and listened I felt a sudden humility because of my ignorance. Ignorance of what the war had really been fought for . . . ignorance of what our country was headed for in the future. I knew then what I wanted to do. I wanted to write . . . about things I felt, the things I had seen and
