Book excerpt: The fabulous Golden Age of Radio -- the 1930s and 1940s -- possessed a sense of excitement, purpose and unpredictability that made it one of America's most memorable eras. At the center of it was Norman Corwin, who as writer, director and producer brought an intelligence and eloquence previously unheard over the medium. CBS broadcast Corwin's classic achievements, among them the 1941 "We Hold These Truths" and the VE Day special, "On a Note of Triumph." He worked with great performers like Orson Welles and James Stewart. This is the biography of a man who elevated the art and integrity of broadcasting. It is a detailed, nostalgic remembrance of an unforgettable age, full of the voices and personalities that are part of our golden past. B&W photos.
