I wonder why Pam had difficulty with this one? The Tonight Show and Today weren't radio programs and the CBS Evening News is surely much later (if it was ever a radio program).

My thought was the same as Pam's - either Ulysses or Finnegan's Wake. Since only one was a choice, that's the one.

Hmmm...it's sweeps month and the show likes to have big winners during that time. Could Pam reach the $1M? I think so.

Wikipedia says the CBS Evening News began broadcasting in 1948, but the network, itself, dates to 1928. How could Pam know that it surely didn't have a radio news program with that title in 1945? I didn't know.

My reasoning would have been that a program called "Evening News" would only be used if there weren't regular hourly news broadcasts, as was the case with radio (at the top of each hour). They would have been known as "The one o'clock news", "The six o'clock news", etc. Plus I knew that "Meet the Press" had been a radio show before it was on TV.

I had no idea that any of these were Olympic events. Architecture, literature and music all had roots in ancient Greece. On the other hand, it's hard to imagine an architecture competition.

Well, that certainly clears it up...
Innocent, naive and whimsical. And somewhat footloose and fancy-free.
