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

"I always insist on the truth because there is so much at stake," he begins, and goes on to say that he wouldn't even be talking about his illness except that "all these rumors got all over town. One rumor had me having a tremendous heart attack." Then calmly Powell tells the representatives of the press that a cancerous malignancy had developed on a gland on the right of his neck and another in a pocket in his chest. "It's like a wart on the back of my neck," Powell says, pointing to his collar. "Who's going to get upset about a thing like that?" Irony of June Allyson being present: If it hadn't been that during the summer of 1962 Powell himself thought that his wife was suffering from cancer of the throat, June wouldn't be sitting next to him at the press conference.
