We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
D R. I.Q., the granddaddy of all radio quiz shows, has turned up on TV—in its original guise. The pro¬ ducers have simply trained their cameras on the old radio program, making no concessions to TV’s re¬ quirements. Aside from that impor¬ tant drawback. Dr. l.Q.

The contestants are drawn from the studio audience, but they are not forced to undergo any of the tortuous tricks and synthetic stunts that be¬ fall them on other TV quizzers. The good doctor shouts the questions from his podium and the contestants an¬ swer them without even rising from their seats. If the questions had more eye-appeal, the show would be in.
