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

WE PRESENT ;»*"• The most daring expose ever broadcast — Thomas E. Dewey's own story of his war against New York City's racketeers IT has been said that crime in this country costs more than the annual budget of the Federal government. If you add to this the cost of human life and the misery of the families of those who have been drawn into crime, the total price is staggering. Thirty years ago we could safely say there was no organized crime. The average American criminal was a free-lance. He was a small-time burglar or pickpocket and once in a long time some robber or band of robbers became famous. But their organization was loose — the leader was just the toughest man in the gang and was usually just a common street thug like the rest. But today crime has grown into a national industry. The petty criminal, the free-lance is the least of our problems. Today we have criminal syndicates with interests in many cities. They are rich and powerful and have brains even more than brawn. There are many in the organization, from the private who does the strong-arm work to the general who sits in luxury, far removed from the actual operations of his gangs. 13
