OVERHEARD From radio's treasure-chest, a constant listener selects these words of wisdom and entertainment TAKE YOUR HERO WITH A GRAIN OF SALT In Heroes I Have Known, I have tried to show how to admire people without going nuts about them and wanting to gang up under them and blackjack everybody who doesn't belong to the gang. Totalitarianism is a dignified name for the rule of a gang, led by a gangster. And that again is a human name for a purely animal or beast-like performance. All gregarious animals have this tendency to gang up under a leader in time of trouble and get nasty. By getting nasty, I mean abandon all standards of independence or rationality and go in for blind hatred and obedience. The very heart of totalitarianism is a fanatical adulation of the Leader — what Hitler calls Fuehrerprinzip. I call it diabolical heroworship. — Max Eastman on Adelaide Hawley's The Woman's Page of the Air, CBS, each weekday morning.

MAKE-UP AND LIVE A woman of seventy sat in this studio audience the other morning, waiting to discuss her cosmetic problem with me after the broadcast was over. She confessed to me that for forty years she had wanted to use a little lipstick and powder. When I asked her why she hadn't, she said her husband had always objected violently to any use of make-up. 'And now?" I asked. "Well," she replied with some defiance, "he's recently passed away. So, now I'm going to find out which shade of lipstick and powder I should use and how to apply them." — Richard Willis, on Here's Looking At You, heard over Station WOR, every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings.
