    I write with fear and trembling because I am about to express an opinion
    which differs from that of two top radio historians, John Dunning and Jim
    Cox.  Jim Cox is, of course, a regular contributor to this space and his books
    on OTR  are a wonderful source of information and a joy to read.

    I have long been a fan of Dashiell Hammett's fiction and, not surprisingly,
     very much enjoy listening to The Adventures of Sam Spade. Howard Duff did
    a  great job playing Spade. Like many other OTR fans, I am saddened and
    angered by the fact that both Duff and Hammett were victims of the House on
    Un-American Activities Committee.

    But, perhaps Howard Duff's successor as Sam Spade, Steve Dunne, is the
    victim of a more minor case of injustice. Yes,the public obviously didn't
    accept Dunne as Sam Spade following the abrupt firing of Howard Duff.  That is
    certainly understandable. And in the three Dunne episodes I have  listened
    to, his scenes with Lurene Tuttle don't sparkle as the Duff-Tuttle  scenes
    did, but that might have improved with time. The Spade series with Steve
    Dunne
    only lasted about five months.

    But Steve Dunne was believable as Sam Spade. He wasn't quite the wise-guy
    Duff was, his Spade was a bit more grounded. But, while his wise cracks were
     fewer they were usually funnier and more relevant to the plot. The three
    Dunne  episodes I have listened to were well written, almost sixty years
    after they  were produced, they still make for solid entertainment.

    Yes, Howard Duff was THE Sam Spade as Bob Bailey was THE Johnny Dollar but
    Dunne's Sam Spade can still be listened to and enjoyed. I respectfully
    disagree  with John Dunning and Jim Cox who brushed off Dunne's Sam Spade.

    Perhaps I am expressing a minority opinion but I do want to remedy what I
    believe is a minor injustice.

    Dark House is usually included with the collection of Hermit's Cave episodes,
    but it is about 12 minutes long whereas the normal length of a HC episode is
    30 minutes. Is it a re-creation?

    Hi Folks.
    An interesting article about lack of funds to digitise the Radio Pakistan
    archives appeared earlier this week. Best way to see it is just to 'Google'
    the title:

    'Two million minutes of rare audio under threat'.

     Someone told the Crowne Plaza about our convention,  and
     they made me an offer I couldn't refuse. At least this year

     hotel has a very nice dinning room and bar (for those who
     drink). There are other places to eat close to the hotel.
     The address: 5901 Pfeiffer Rd. Cincinnati, Ohio 45242
     Exit 15 off interstate I-71   [removed]
     Our room rate is $89 single or double. There is a Red Roof
     Inn across the street. [removed] There rate is around $60.
