    Does anybody have an episode of Quick As A Flash, with Ken Roberts
    hosting?  For its time, it was a really fine show!

    Ah, you're probably thinking of when Jack asks Rochester to go up and turn
    on his General Electric blanket.  Same basic joke structure as you've  detailed.

    When I interviewed writer John Tackaberry's son, Stace, he recalled that
    they had a three-car garage in which they could only park two cars.   Through
    connections, the third space was taken up by a weekly delivery of tons  of free
    stuff, from booze to just about anything, for the possibility of (or in
    response to) such product placement.

    Subject:  Discovering The Maltese Falcon and Sam Spade

    Apparently there's a new book out about the various incarnations of The
    Maltese Falcon, with a chapter devoted to the radio version of Sam
    Spade:

    "Discovering The Maltese Falcon and Sam Spade: The Evolution of
    Dashiell Hammett's Masterpiece, Including John Huston's Movie with
    Humphrey Bogart, edited by Richard Layman"

    You can read more at [removed] . The
    website states that the book is available on Sept 1, but that's
    apparently inaccurate, because I can't find it listed anyplace. This is
    the second in this publisher's series of books on and by Dashiell
    Hammett. The first, a new collection of Hammett's "lost stories", was
    supposed to be published in early September, but is listed as not yet
    available on amazon and Barnes & Noble. So it's probably no surprise
    that the second book in the series isn't out yet either.

    Anyway, I thought some folks on this list might be interested to hear
    about the book. Not sure if I'll buy it myself; if anybody else does,
    could they let me know if the section on radio is in-depth enough to
    justify getting it?
