Description:
The official magazine of Kansas City's WHB radio station, SWING printed far more than the station's schedule (which, as the title SWING suggested, relied heavily on music). From 1945 to 1953, SWING offered readers something eclectic every month -- profiles of entertainers on one page, discussions of citizenship in the postwar world on the next, with write-ups of nightlife offerings in KC, Chicago, and New York mixed in. WHB spent decades lobbying the FCC for clear channel status; the magazine's ambitious scope may have been part of the station's attempt to legitimate itself. But it was SWING'S first editor, Jetta Carleton, who later wrote a celebrated novel, that gave the magazine its distinctive style. -- Eric Hoyt, 2015

STERILIZED HEARTBREAK 13 her. Linda told me about it with tears in her eyes. "I want to marry him, but I must give him up. More than anything else in life he wants children. For the first time now, I'm ready to settle down. I, too, want a home, and children. And, by my own act, I can't have them. Never, so long as I live shall I have a child of my own, and it's my fault." These cases could be multiplied by thousands, so only one conclu' sion seems possible. Before a woman decides on a step as final as sterli2;a' tion she should take a long look ahead toward the future, because once the die is cast it is forever. And oftener than you'd think, that last baby, the one who seemed just too much at the time, grows up to be the greatest comfort, the warmest, sweetest thing that happens in your life.
