Tonight Dr. Ron Tarner attempted to explain the significance of an archeological discovery...a 2 million year old skull possibly belonging to a hominid closely related to the human being... Bud however found the term 'homo" real funny and Tarner was distracted by the fact he couldn't get a bus or taxi to stop for him. He chalked that up to his standing there with a black colleague, Dr. Steve Peabody. When Peabody walks off to catch his own taxi, it turns out Don's the one that they weren't stopping for...
Vernon Dozier, Curt Queedy and Guy Barton discussed and debated the Saturday Night Massacre, an event that took place 40 years ago on this date in which two members of the Justice department quit rather than carry out what they thought was an illegal order given them by President Nixon. Dozier thought the Congress' intrusion on the President was just like Malcom McDowell and his gang invading the writers home in "Clockwork Orange" with their big noses, derby hats and storm trooper boots.
