BODINE'S BIG BAILIWICK This man of many parts is Walt Bodine. Officially, he is Director of News and Special Events for WDAF Radio and TV. But that's a little like labeling Albert Schweitzer a first-rate organist, and letting it go at that. ■ Walt does "direct" our news and special events, which means organizing, scheduling, editing, instructing, polishing and reviewing the work of one of the largest broadcast news staffs anywhere. The fact that he does all of these things expertly is a matter of record and common knowledge in mid-America. ■ But Walt's great talent probably comes nearest the surface in his writing and delivery of "Bodine's Bailiwick", a daily feature on WDAF Radio. It's impossible adequately to describe the humor, the poignancy, the depth of insight and the infallible good taste that Walt puts in the "Bailiwick". You'll have to hear it for yourself. ■ Walt Bodine is personally responsible for a big segment of the New Sound from Signal Hill. His work is always representative of the fresh, interesting, responsible broadcasting that more people are listening to every day throughout our six-state Heartland.
