- 0:55Frank Race has brought to you by the support of our listeners. Thanks so
- 0:58much for your support. Here now is the Adventure of the Sobbing Bodyguard,
- 1:03The Adventures of Frank Race, starring Paul Dubon. The War changed many things,
- 1:19the face of the earth and the people on it. Before the war,
- 1:23Frank Race worked as an attorney, but he traded his law books for
- 1:26the Cloak and Dagger of the Oss. When it was over, his former
- 1:30life was over too. Adventure had become his business, The Adventures of Frank
- 1:37Race. Now we joined Frank Race for the Adventure of the Sobbing Bodyguard.
- 2:04It wasn't what you might call a respectable hour, and I had nothing left
- 2:07but a grin of relief as I doubted the light and burrowed into the bedding.
- 2:12There had been a meeting with two former combat companions, a pair of
- 2:15lusty travelers intent upon my liquid downfall. I'd outlasted them, but now,
- 2:20with morning threatening to crack at any minute, I needed no crystal ball the
- 2:23forecast. What had held for me a fat hangover. But before I could
- 2:28concentrate on oblivion, there came a sound from the living room. I heard
- 2:31the switch click, and then that you mark? Yeah, what goes on?
- 2:42All right? Finally, what have you been doing? Packing someone on
- 2:46your back? Look? Do you know what I'm at? Your kidd?
- 2:51I hope your kidding. I'm a no condition, A nurse made a drunk.
- 2:53Look, oh, I'm sober enough. You actually have someone in there?
- 2:59Race? Remember when you were in Italy last summer by yourself? Yes,
- 3:02well, I took a fair up to Saratoga, but a races thing.
- 3:07While I was up there, I get into a beef with Addie Harrington.
- 3:09I'm a little muddy. The name rings no better. Look a nightclub
- 3:13own a hot guy. You get into an argument at the track and I
- 3:15bust him in a snow and he has his boys working me over and this
- 3:19is the first time you tell me about it. I guess I was kind
- 3:22of shamed of being more. Of course, it took four him the door
- 3:24to understand. I understand, and does always have something to do with the
- 3:28failure just unloaded in the living room. It does, indeed, Brother,
- 3:32that lump in there happens to be Harrington. Come again, will you?
- 3:37If he's drunk, why bring him here? Or are we conducting a haven
- 3:39for lushers? He listened to me. The guy in there ain't drunk,
- 3:43he's dead. That brought me out of bed and sent me into the living
- 3:46room with a lunge. Mark's passenger lay spilled over the end of the divan,
- 3:51and big Fella, the athletic type gone to seed, his features even
- 3:54in death, held to a sadistic leer. Yes, quite a deal.
- 4:00What's the story? And it better be good? Ain't nothing good about it?
- 4:03Look I am and folly. He's having me a cup of coffee when
- 4:06I come out here as this lad planted in the cab A guy I had
- 4:10a roupbob with the guy that had me beat up, and he's dead in
- 4:13my hack of a bullet through the scots right there, I say to myself,
- 4:17Donovan, who are behind a well known double four ball bullets through the
- 4:23year, could have been suicide? Your kid with no gun around nah,
- 4:26nice nah brains. A homicide would just snort at that one. I got
- 4:30a plant, this boy and somebody else's doorstep. That's all. I gotta
- 4:33think about it with great care, Mark. The smart thing to do would
- 4:36be to call a police. No, no, I don't want to do
- 4:40that race voice place. I tabbed a thing for a frame, not against
- 4:44me in particularly understand just that somebody pop raated this guy and wants a patsy
- 4:49to pin it on. I happen to fit motiv in everything, all right,
- 4:54if you want to play it that way. But if the police do
- 4:57move in, it'll be that much tougher. Why don't you just dump him
- 4:59outs eat somewhere right away? Because I picked up a tail A moment I
- 5:02pull away from files, A prowl carnal less Blatstan wouldn't let go followed me
- 5:08right here to the door to make like this boy was a drunk I was
- 5:13delivering home. It's all two pats Are they still outside? Nah? I
- 5:17think they left. I'll have a look though her still there? Yeah,
- 5:26another one pulling up behind him. This thing is getting tired in the French
- 5:30bathing, So I'm gonna get out of wait, what for them? If
- 5:33they take Y'll have you out in a matter of hours. Look, nothing
- 5:35doing. I never liked to clean. If you really want to help me,
- 5:41here's something you should know, Harrington. I got into that fracas because
- 5:44of a dame. He was shoving around and see bish by the name of
- 5:46Carl Kennedy. Last she was singing somewhere in Joysey City, I'll see you
- 5:53later. He got clear of the room. I a scant couple of minutes.
- 6:00The visiting group included a patrolman and a couple of plain closed officers.
- 6:03One of the detectives I knew, a Lieutenant Kessel. This was a complication
- 6:09because we'd never liked each other. This layout vologne you race, I've been
- 6:13under that impression. What's the picture? Am I being evicted? A laugh
- 6:17at that one after breakfast and I'm not so label a gag on it and
- 6:21explained the lad on the divan looks a little inebriated. He's dead and you
- 6:27know it. How did he get in here? All you had to do
- 6:30was push the door open. He might have done the same thing. The
- 6:33bullet hole in his head. Why don't you stab? Where's the other guy
- 6:38that lives in the apartment was spotted packing this cargo in here? What's the
- 6:42pitch, Kessel? It's also pat You're knowing just when to arrive and tabbing
- 6:46Donovan so neatly. He felt he was being framed by someone. Looks as
- 6:51though he's right. You helped him get away, and you you can put
- 6:55that one back in your hat, Lieutenant, I know nothing about this business.
- 6:58Anything I do for Donovan from now on will be done in my capacity
- 7:01as a licensed investigator. Well, first, you're going to stand a little
- 7:05investigating yourself starting as up now, what with the medical examiner and pictures and
- 7:15questions. It was eight o'clock before I was able to detach myself long enough
- 7:18to grab a shower. After this, Kessel finally and grudgingly indicated that I
- 7:23wasn't to be taken in, So I went out for a breakfast of dry
- 7:26toast and black coffee. While I ordered, another customer slid onto the stool
- 7:30beside me. Plump, sleek, well manicured, he eid the counter man
- 7:35with the quiet gaze of a snake suggesting a rabbit. Let me have some
- 7:41coffee, tool, make sure it's hard, or I'll push your face.
- 7:46And Hi you Race, remember me? I remember you, Flip Clemson.
- 7:53Yeah, I come in here so I could talk to me. I'm gratifying
- 8:00you got Addie Harrington's body over your place. You're full of moves. I
- 8:05hear things, but this is hard to believe. You, See, Race,
- 8:11I've been working as Harrington's body guard, and I couldn't help feeling real
- 8:15heart if that was really ADDIE's bottom. Sorry, Flip, you'll have to
- 8:18read about it in the papers. Keep stalling. I ain't gonna like you,
- 8:22look, Flip, I've had a tough night. I've got a headache.
- 8:24Start nagging me, and your face will go into the coffee. And
- 8:28never try nothing like that with me, Race, You'd only get your fingers
- 8:33down your throat A long way down. All right, Now that we've both
- 8:41made faces at each other, why don't we just say so long? Race?
- 8:48Yes, that ain't buy a paper, Flip. Read all about it
- 9:03a nightclub at noon. It's like looking at an unmade bed. And the
- 9:07yellow slipper in Jersey City was no exception. But There was nothing dolly about
- 9:11the girl I found. They're practicing new vocal numbers. No, I don't
- 9:16mind taking time out, But if you're an agent, I already had one.
- 9:20I look like an agent. They come in all shapes and sizes,
- 9:24and I don't know anything about your mentality. I'm not an agent. Wouldn't
- 9:28be a better job, would it? No deal of strength? Thing?
- 9:31Put away the truculence? Would you? I came over here simply to ask
- 9:35an impersonal question. Go ahead, Can you think of any reason why Addie
- 9:39Harrington would want to commit suicide? She took time out for a few seconds,
- 9:45and the wariness tightened across her features. She turned to the man at
- 9:48the piano. The swarthy personality looked more like a croupier than an the companist
- 9:54that rocal, yeah, yeah, what would you say? I would say,
- 10:00Addie wouldn't commit suicide for nothing? And nobody well rays Hey, yeah,
- 10:05I asked you the question. No offense, Rocco, but would you
- 10:09mind getting lost? Mistake? Unless Carrel tell him to go take five?
- 10:18Rocco'll go get yourself a beer. For some reason, Rocco didn't like it,
- 10:22but he left. Then I told a girl about Mark Donovan. Oh,
- 10:26yes, the cad driver. Well, I certainly do remember him.
- 10:30See, Harrington got pretty mean that day. I think your friend saved me
- 10:33a malling. Harrington was like that. I always wanted to wrestle, and
- 10:37you had enough of that type. I've had a hatful. How about helping
- 10:41Donovan? What can I do? I didn't even know Harrington was dead until
- 10:43you broken news. Who else could I talk to about Harrington? Rockoman Toora
- 10:48rocom him pretty well, but Rocko never liked him. Rocco doesn't like questions.
- 10:54Who else you could talk to? Gene Harrington, ADDIE's wife? Where
- 10:58would I find her at this club? Jane? She never went near the
- 11:01place. He wouldn't be caught dead in it. Don't sound so bitter?
- 11:05Doesn't go with those freckles on your nose? Right? I can't help it
- 11:09singing in a dull ninety five layout like this When I could be in New
- 11:11York if it weren't for Harrington, I would be New York isn't very far
- 11:16from here. When do you have a night off? Wow? But if
- 11:20you know with me, I'm the mental type. I don't start wrestling until
- 11:24very late in the evening. All right, ray might be fun. This
- 11:37thing was beginning to worry me. They brought Mark Donovan to trial, he
- 11:41might not fare so well. They'd bring out his liking for brawls. They'd
- 11:43dwell on a revenge motive. I had a friend with the disc Attorney's office,
- 11:48so I called him, only to find he'd gone on a vacation.
- 11:50But the call brought results. The office set a visitor that evening, a
- 11:54Deputy DA by the name of Manning. He stirred up crying a fuss at
- 11:58the office this afternoon race. What's the grip against the police department? I
- 12:03thought I was talking to Carlson when I got on the phone. That's why
- 12:05it seemed as though I was popping off. They said, you seem to
- 12:07think the homicide bureau is pulling a fast one. That's the nuts. There's
- 12:11nothing wrong at the department, nothing vicious. But a thick head by the
- 12:15name of Kessel happens to be handling the Harrington case. Someone gave him a
- 12:18tip on Mark Donovan. He can't think of anything else. Oh yeah,
- 12:22I know Kesse one track mine. But what do he want us to do?
- 12:26I called carl somebod because I thought he might give me a break on
- 12:30information. I got nothing from Kessel but abuse. Well, I'll do it
- 12:33I can to help. Right now, we don't know any more than was
- 12:35in the papers, but I'll keep in touch with you. It was about
- 12:46an hour after he left that I got a call from Mark Donovan. Them
- 12:50in trouble. Where are you, Michael? You know an corner? What's
- 12:54the problem? But jus the farm dick to sort of. I'll be right
- 13:03there right away. Stay putting to go nowhere, race You're going to stay
- 13:13right here. It was Rocco, the Jersey City piano players, standing just
- 13:18inside the doorway. There was fever in his eyes, and the way he
- 13:20drew on the cigarette plaster to his lower lip, and the way he gripped
- 13:24the automatic in his hand. He was feeling big and tough and in command
- 13:28of things. My guests would have been the stuff that dreams are made of,
- 13:33bad dreams, some drug that made him about the deadliest item in the
- 13:37city at the moment. I spoke soothingly to him. Sit down, Rocco,
- 13:43we'll have something to drink on to try. Not the race course jump
- 13:48pulling a stopper. Right now, we'll return of the Adventures of Frank Race
- 14:03in just about one minute. Now back to the Adventures of Frank Race.
- 14:22I was on the floor with a room full of gun smoke. The Roccos
- 14:28still at the door, looking as though he'd just been elevated to a priesthood.
- 14:31But his bullets head and spilled me. I had dropped the split second
- 14:33before he fired, and now I feigned limpness, reasoning he'd come over for
- 14:37a closer look. He did, and when he got near enough I granted.
- 14:46And now Rocco was down and out. It was probably going to be
- 14:50several minutes before he'd be capable of answering questions. And unfortunately I couldn't hang
- 14:52around, not with Mark waiting for me. But at the druck store there
- 14:56was no sign of Mark. I slammed back to the harming I have Foundroco
- 15:00gone too, which left me floundering. So I called headquarters and I learned
- 15:03that Mark Donovan had just been brought in and was being booked on suspicion of
- 15:07murder. Now I had two things to do. One was to see about
- 15:09freeing Mark. The other was to pay a visit to a woman I'd never
- 15:13met, cool and sparkling she reminded me of fine glass. It was hard.
- 15:24The picture is being married to a man like Addie Harrington. Then it
- 15:28occurred to me that I hadn't seen Addie Harrington had the best. You're not
- 15:31a placement, mister Ray. How do you know? You're too intelligent looking?
- 15:37I can see I'm going to have to tread carefully with you, not
- 15:39unless you want it. I have a taste. A big man also happened
- 15:46to be good lucky, and you a brand new widow. Addie and I
- 15:50were divorced six months ago. It was a parting of that year. You
- 15:54don't know a thing about what just happened to him, not a thing.
- 15:58Get right away. You're going to an act for me a man you've never
- 16:00seen before. Why, I don't know what you mean. Look, duchess,
- 16:06you're much too smooth to start gushing within the first fifteen minutes unless you
- 16:10have a motive. Oh come now, you wonder estimat you can. You
- 16:15wouldn't want to tell me if Harrington carried heavy insurance, would you? I
- 16:18would if I could miss it. But Addie Harrington always kept his affairs very
- 16:22much to himself, which was one of the reasons we were never compatible.
- 16:26You happen to know anything about his death? Only would I read in the
- 16:30newspaper. I've been out of town, Race, I got back only a
- 16:33few hours ago. Uh huh, Well, is there anything you can tell
- 16:37me about a lad called Rocomentora? I don't believe I've ever heard of him.
- 16:44With a slight touch of hesitation indicating that your answer would hardly stand up
- 16:48against the lie machine for a man who isn't with the police, you're boringly
- 16:55inquisitive. I'm sorry, duchess. I have to be in this case.
- 16:59It'll keep a friend of mine from being convicted of murder. Race. No,
- 17:14hello, Clemson, Race, is Johnny or taking climb in? Let's
- 17:22give you a lip? No thanks, I need the exercise. What would
- 17:26they tell you, Johnny KGI guy never wants to say nothing. Yeah,
- 17:33Race, guant go and look at me. So I've been bowling. I's
- 17:37got to write the ball. When a pal gets knocked off any any I
- 17:41guess he has flipped. Eddie Harrington was a good guy, an unhappy guy
- 17:47too. The club going broke on him. There was no reason for the
- 17:51knock Addie off. Besides, it ain't good for a bodyguard's career to lose
- 17:56an employee. Who's this party? Has it? Gunn him down? Race?
- 18:00Hang up, Flip, you've got the wrong number. You heard me?
- 18:03Who was he? Sorry? Flip? All right? You asked for
- 18:04it? Take him, Johnny or Take had been standing alongside the car,
- 18:08and suddenly I found myself in the iron clunch of my hammer. Maybe he'll
- 18:11talk before I take a breaks your arm. What a little pressure on him,
- 18:15Joanny? Don't can't give talker, Johnny, you'll twist that arm clear
- 18:21over your head. Give him another boost, Johnny. When you're standing a
- 18:23wreck, there's an antidote for a hammer lock, but you have to get
- 18:26your feet clear of your man. Or Take, Busy with his sadism,
- 18:30finally left himself open, so against his shin, I jammed a heavy heel.
- 18:34He let go with a hammer lock and sat down on the sidewalk to
- 18:37rock back and forth in agony. Flip Clemson, still in disbelief for a
- 18:41second, then stabbed at the car's glove compartment, but he dropped the gun
- 18:44getting it up, and as he bent over, I jammed his head against
- 18:45the floorboard and got it myself. You just relaxed flip. Then we'll all
- 18:51be happier personally. I have no hard feelings at all, because you've just
- 18:55given me the probable reason for Addy Harrington's death. I got Mark out on
- 19:04a rid of habeas corpus, but with an inquest coming up, we were
- 19:07in need of information. So I called Detective Lieutenant Kessel. When I told
- 19:11him what I'd like to know about Gene Harrington, whether she had a boyfriend
- 19:15or not. His reply mirrored his feeling for private investigators were curis schamust find
- 19:21out for yourself? And that was that. I felt fortunate I could go
- 19:26to Manning in the DA's office. I guess we can find that out for
- 19:29your race. Anything else, I'd like to know if Harrington carried a big
- 19:33insurance policy, but I'll check on that myself. On the anxious seat now,
- 19:37I phone Manning the next afternoon. At least no boyfriend we can turn
- 19:42up. Thanks anyway, what did you learn about the insurance that part gels
- 19:47Manning? One of the terms of their divorce settlements stipulated that Harrington keep up
- 19:52one hundred thousand dollars policy with Geene Harrington as beneficiary. Yeah, what do
- 19:56you make it? Nothing? I can prove yet, but I'm going to
- 20:00keep trying. It was the next night at dinner that Carl Kennedy told me
- 20:10she'd given up her Jersey City job and come to New York for good.
- 20:12You see, with Harrington dead, I'm finally free. Free. Well,
- 20:17Addie had me into contract. When I walked out on HIMY wouldn't release me.
- 20:21That's why I was working into the phony name, all of which might
- 20:22be an excellent motive for your having murdered Harrington. Gosh, you could see
- 20:27that way, couldn't it, Except that he wasn't murdered. Well, at
- 20:30least that's my belief. I just wish I could prove it. There was
- 20:33plenty of reason for his suicide. Harrington was broke and drinking heavily, and
- 20:37his club was deep in the red. Did you find out all this?
- 20:41They I've been in half the bars and nightclubs in town. Would want to
- 20:44make it look like murder when it's a suicide, Missus Harrington. They were
- 20:47divorced, and one of the terms of the settlement was that Harrington maintain a
- 20:51hundred thousand dollars insurance with her as beneficiary. But suicide on the part of
- 20:55the insured always voids a policy. Well, I've got some news to Race.
- 21:00I went by Harrington's nightclub today, was clothed, but I ran into
- 21:03ADDIE's man. There is Filipino house boy. He told me that Eddie been
- 21:07feeling morbid depressed. He said Eddie took an overdose of sleeping pills just a
- 21:11week ago, but got sick and snapped out of it. My angel,
- 21:15where can I find that? Boy? Is a dress right here? Oh
- 21:18gosh, Race, I left it my other purse. It's at the apartment.
- 21:21I know of no better reason for you to take me home with you.
- 21:23Come on, baby, you'd better wait in the hall. Race,
- 21:34nothing doing. I'll help your look. Oh then, and then I'll go
- 21:40and get some ice cream and we'll have a real homey evening together. Rococo.
- 21:51But it's talking too much, en It talking too much to the wrong
- 21:55people. Seems as though you and I went through this sort of thing once
- 21:56before. Rockley get going Coral. I came out of it looking up at
- 22:10the clinically white ceiling that, in my sense of smell, told me I
- 22:12was hospitalized. Swiveling the neck a little, I gazed into the opaque countenance
- 22:17of Detective Lieutenant Kessel Race, How do you feel like a ham on a
- 22:22hook? What goes with the arm? It's strung up like that because you
- 22:25took a slug through the shoulder, And then serious you'll be out in a
- 22:27couple of days. How they do all of this to me so quickly?
- 22:30Get wise? Race, you've been here some time? This is now tomorrow
- 22:33afternoon. Well, nothing like a good sleep. How about the girl you're
- 22:40speaking of? This one I suppose pushed a newspaper, I think, with
- 22:42a photograph on the front page, Coral Kennedy's photograph. But beyond recognizing that
- 22:48my eyes wouldn't function, so I asked Kessel to really account. I don't
- 22:52have to read it and know it by heart. It was found this morning
- 22:56by some guys going to work in a galvanizing plant. What was left of,
- 23:00though, was found in a vat of molten zinc. Kessel had said
- 23:07I'd be out of the hospital in a couple of days. Turn out to
- 23:10be wrong. I made it the next morning, but I left the place
- 23:12with about as much enthusiasm as used car appraiser inspecting a model T at the
- 23:18curb. I found Mark Donovan waiting in his cab. I'm in race.
- 23:21We've got things to do. What are you so briskavan? This is the
- 23:23day of the Harrington inquest. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the wait things
- 23:26Look, I will most likely be indicted, but I just toint up a
- 23:30little nugget of infold that might change the whole picture. I have learned where
- 23:33at land Rocko is hauling up, and it happens to be at none other
- 23:37than the apartment of the late mister Harrington's former wife. Gee, you're sure
- 23:41I am in dead? Honest? What say? We go? Get it?
- 23:45All? Right? But not by ourselves. One, it wouldn't be
- 23:47good for you to become involved in a fight right now. Two, I
- 23:51personally haven't the strength to wiggle amount of tripe. So we'll get kesseled,
- 23:53and to make sure he stays in line, we'll also take along Manning of
- 23:56the District Attorney's office. I hope this doesn't turn out to be a false
- 24:07alarm. I've got other things to do. Don't worry, it ain't no
- 24:08false alarm. We take your car, Manning. It's a sedan, Sure
- 24:11it's right here. And what am I gonna do with this Rocco? Even
- 24:15if I take him in Race. It's only your word against his that he
- 24:18shot you. What's the matter, Manning? Can't you get your own car?
- 24:21Door open? There? It is okay, get in. We can
- 24:26at least go out and talk to this fellow. Wow, what a deputation.
- 24:41I'm sure you don't mind if we come in. I'll check right through
- 24:44the whole place right now. Look what goes on? Do you happen to
- 24:48know a man called Rocom and trom Missus Harrington Roco, Well, of course
- 24:52he's my flight. Yeah, he's all right, Race whatever, from sleep
- 24:57or rapist, I wouldn't. Mister Mentora hasn't been feeling well. He came
- 25:03over here for a few hours to rest. It's all perfectly proper. I
- 25:07keep a housekeeper here, and a maiden told me a few days ago you'd
- 25:11never heard of Mentora. Just what are you trying to prove? Yeah,
- 25:15that's a good point, Race, What are we trying to prove? Well,
- 25:17first that Addie Harrington wasn't murdered, but he committed suicide. But it
- 25:22was important to Missus Harrington that it looked like murder so she could collect her
- 25:25husband's patent insurance. That's why her boyfriend murdered Carl Kennedy because Carl knew too
- 25:30much. Boyfriend, you mean this mentora? Guy? No, I mean
- 25:34you Manning Manning, you're a kidding, Race, I'm not kidding. I
- 25:40didn't bring Manny into the case. He came in himself when he heard of
- 25:42my calling Carlson. It gave him a chance to be on top of everything
- 25:45all the way. And it was Manning who pushed Coral Kennedy into that vet
- 25:49of zinc. It's gone off his rocket castle. They let him out of
- 25:52the hospital too soon. Oh wait, wait, how do you know,
- 25:56Race, How do you know? How do you know Manning pushed her into
- 25:59the vat He couldn't get his car opened because of the condition of his keys.
- 26:03His key chain must have been dangling when he handled Coral Kennedy's body,
- 26:07so that the keys went into the galvanizing solution. That's why he had trouble
- 26:11opening his car. Take a look at the keys, Cassel. The evidence
- 26:15is all over him. Don't go for that, Gun. Manning ain't smart.
- 26:21I figured you'd be handy when I ask you to come along, Kessel.
- 26:25You're always so dog gone truculent. The Adventures of Frank Ray starring Paul
- 26:38Dubob with Tony Barrett as Mark Donovan comes to you from Hollywood. Others heard
- 26:42in tonight's cast were Lillian Paye, Jack Crucian, Tom Holland, Michael Ann
- 26:48Barrett, and Gerald Moore. This series has written and directed by Buckley Angel
- 26:52and Joel Murcott. Music is composed and played by Ivan nit Bars. Be
- 26:56sure to be with us again this time next week or another dramatic apter in
- 27:00the Adventures of Frank Race. Art Gilmore speaking. This is a Bruise Els
- 27:04production. Welcome back. You know, it's remarkable sometimes when you hear this
- 27:44cast that Frank Race hand, you know, Gerald Moore. So many of
- 27:52the best people on radio appeared in these episodes, and this one, I
- 27:56think definitely had an intriguing twist. Not only did you have a murder that
- 28:03was really a suicide, but the district attorney person working for that office was
- 28:08actually behind the whole cover up. I'm also impressed how really Frank Race has
- 28:18got a lot of flexibility. The cases that he takes can vary from kind
- 28:22of spy keepers to just insurance investigation to something that's really a lot more a
- 28:34lot more strict private eye material. Well, that'll actually do it for today.
- 28:42We'll be back next year tomorrow with an episode of A Life in Your
- 28:48Hands, and then join us back here on next Monday for an episode of
- 28:52the Adventures of Frank Rice. And don't forget this week. Right Detectors of
