YOU WOULDN'T KNOW ME FROM ADAM

The ""titan of trivia"" (see Fred Allen's introductory remarks) presents a gled autobiography, poetry, interview, invention, fantastic tales, dictionary, -- a ""compendium of fantasy and fiddle-faddle -- from a life fraught with caper and prank"" (again Mr. A.). There are puns, phenomena, little known men of industry, vegetable raising, blotters, Halloween, calendars, fruit, Manhattan travels, fashions, househunting, detecting, crossword puzzles, ulcers, alliteration, etc., and the Colonel's own process of ruining rhymes...It's wacky, often funny, and for very unserious moods. Radio and SEP market will help.
