DON'T LET THEM SCARE YOU

A superb biography of Elmer Davis, the first head of the U. S. I. A., written in compact word pictures, devoid of sentimentality and reminiscent of Davis' own terse style of reporting. The unprecedented rise of responsible news broadcasting to its eventual maturity is only one of the fascinating undercurrents in a book packed with important ideas about the American way of life.
