CBS Radio Mystery Theater was a noteworthy attempt to revive in American radio dramas like Inner Sanctum (1941-1952) and Suspense (1942-1962). Radio dramas were widely considered "dead" 12 years prior to this series. CBS Radio Mystery Theater, or simply Mystery Theater, was created by Inner Sanctum creator Himan Brown and ran on CBS from 1974-1982. The show, much like older radio dramas, was introduced by a host (E.G. Marshall in this program), who steers us through the creaking door to start the episode. Many voices from the golden age of radio were featured, including Richard Widmark, Bret Morrison, Agnes Moorehead and many more.

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Please join the wr Mystery Theater. Come in Welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I'm G.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Marshall, the man who delivers your daily supply of.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Chills and goosebumps.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
On mystery Theater, where almost nothing is impossible and the
improbable is commonplace. We often deal with things to come,
and while we don't set ourselves up as an authentic oracle,
we do sometimes give you something to think about and
to shudder or listen and see if you don't agree.
(00:55):
Our mystery drama, Identity Crisis, was written especially for the
Miss Theater by Field and Farrington and Stars Gordon Gould.
It is sponsored in part by True Value Hardware stores
and the Buick Mortar division. I'll be back shortly with
Act one.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
The standard engine is a V eight standard tizzed.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Steel belted radios.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
There are front and rear stabilizer bars, special springs and
shock valving, fast racial power steering and a rally steering wheel.
What makes all this interesting is that it belongs to
a full sized six passenger Buick, the nineteen seventy seven,
the Sabers Sport Coup.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
You'll have to drive it to believe it.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
And now a Christmas story from the folks at Flemington fir.
Once upon a time there was a lovely princess who
looked forward each year to Christmas when one of the
handsome princes who sought her hand would give her a gift.
One Christmas, a very practical prince gave her a microwave
muffin warmer with a stereotape deck, somewhat useful, very expensive,
but not what a princess dreams of. The next Christmas,
a very observant prince saw that all the fine ladies
(02:03):
were wearing jewelry made of unicorn horns, so he gave
the princes a royal ransom of unicorn jewelry. Lovely, frightfully expensive,
But the princes didn't really want to look like all
the other ladies. Then a devoted prince who knew his
princes was a real special lady deserving of a very
special gift, selected a magnificent mink coat from the Flemington
Ferry Company. The fur was superb, the style extraordinary, and
(02:25):
the price was right. At Christmas, the princes at last
received the gift she had longed for, her own exquisite
Flemington fur, and they lived happily every after. The Flemington
Ferry Company in Flemington, New Jersey, opened Sunday and every
day until six pm.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
What do you suppose your great grandfather would have said
if you had told him that one day men would
fly to the moon land there and plant an American
flag too, that a man's heart could be taken from
his body and put in another man's body to replace
his alien one, that by clicking a button here on Earth,
(03:11):
you could take a picture of a rock pile on Mars.
He'd tell you to go and have your head examined. Well,
what would you say if we suggested that someday in
the future, not only heart transplants, but brain transplants would
be possible.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Ridiculous maybe?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Or are you perhaps just being a grandfather when you
say so.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Come in. This is Alice, thank you doctor, and this
is missus Kempeler.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I suppose you're wondering why I've asked you to stop
in at my office, both of you at the same time.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
I think about it.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Well, you two have one thing in common. I suppose
you know that our.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
Husbands.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yes, both your husbands are in condition, in terminal condition.
Unfortunately you've both been told that separately. Yes, yes, what
I want to suggest now is that it may be
maybe I say, possible to save one of them, and
it's just possible that the one whole man may continue
(04:19):
to live.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
But if they're both, which man?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Hear me out?
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Please?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Missus Hallis, your husband is suffering from massive internal injuries
sustained in an automobile crash yesterday. Yes, he's being kept
alive from minute to minute, but I'm afraid he can't
possibly last much longer.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
I was told that yesterday.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yes, and your husband, Missus Kemperor, has that a malignant
brain tumor removed. The operation could be called successful in
that the tumor was removed and your husband is still alive,
But brain damage has already been done, and of course
that cannot be repaired.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
I understand that, yes, he.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Will not improve, and he cannot be expected to live
in this condition for more than say, a few weeks.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Yes, so you've already told.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Me and Missus Hollis, your husband's brain was undamaged in
the accident.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
What are you suggesting?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
A brain transplant?
Speaker 6 (05:19):
A brain transplant, I've never heard of such a thing.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
The fact is it's never been done before, not with
the human brain. But I've been experimenting with animals for
many years. My last three experiments have been completely successful,
completely successful.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
And you think it can be done with our husbands.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You must understand that I cannot promise success. It still
must be called experimental techniques will be needed, which are
not yet. However, I believe that it can be done.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
It's quite overwhelming.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
The thing is, to put it bluntly. We have absolutely
nothing to lose. Your husbands are both going to die.
There's no question whatever about that. Maybe this way, if
the surgery is successful, we can save one man.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
Well, what do.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
You think, missus hallis I I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I'd ask you both to sign releases.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Of course, as he says, there's nothing to lose. I
suppose not.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
I wish I could ask Andy.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Unfortunately that's impossible.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
At least we'd be doing something. I suppose you're right, Yes, yes,
of course you are. All right, I'll find the release,
Doctor Peterson, all.
Speaker 8 (06:45):
Right, all right, all I keep your shirt on. I'm coming.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
Oh, Paul, can I come in?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Please?
Speaker 8 (06:52):
Sure your money?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Upset?
Speaker 7 (06:55):
Well, there's this doctor, doctor Peters. He's a brain surgeon and,
according to the guy on the radio, just about the
best there is and he's going to do a brain transplant.
Speaker 8 (07:08):
Job, brain transplant. That's right, It can't be done.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
It's Dr Peters. He thinks he can do it, and
he's going to try. Maybe it's doing it right now.
Speaker 8 (07:16):
Well that's interesting.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
Do you want to know whose brain is getting transplanted?
Andy Hollis's brain? That's who State Senator Andrew h Hollis.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Your kidding, No, I'm not.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
He was in this auto accident yesterday Afternoon's you hear
about that?
Speaker 8 (07:34):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (07:35):
No?
Speaker 8 (07:35):
Was he badly hurt? I guess he must have been.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
He was busted up pretty good. And they got this
other fellow there in the hospital. I can't remember his name.
He's dying from brain cancer. And they're going to transplant
Hollis's brain into the other fella's head.
Speaker 8 (07:52):
Only Hollis will die before they get a chance to operate.
Speaker 7 (07:55):
I told you the radio guy said they were going
to try any minute.
Speaker 8 (07:59):
I gotta think about this.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
You think that Hollis h well, you know, when they
get the switch made and everything, you think he'll shoot
his mouth up.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
I don't know, and I just shut up.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Let me think.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Come in, Hello, John, Hello, I got this message the
important doctor Rindalph Peters wants to see me.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yes, come on in.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
You are actually going ahead with the brain transplant.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yes, don't you approve?
Speaker 7 (08:34):
Well, sure you? Why wouldn't I I don't know enough
about it to disapprove anyway.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Dr Muller, the eminent psychiatrist, has just admitted there's something
he doesn't know much about that's practically Newsworthy.
Speaker 7 (08:48):
Will give me a half hour to bone up.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I'm going to need your help, John. I think we're
going to overlap a little here.
Speaker 7 (08:57):
Yeah, I've been thinking about that. If that transplanted brain
works at all, it will have gone through something pretty
damn traumatic.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
It frightens me a little more than a little. Can
I depend on you to stand by you?
Speaker 6 (09:15):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
You can, Well, then I guess I'll go do it
right now, right now.
Speaker 8 (09:27):
I think we've got a serious.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
Problem, Karl, Yeah, on a kind of holicy.
Speaker 8 (09:33):
Well, you don't have to be a doctor to know
that house is going to be in pretty rough shape
where you know his brain is after his operation. My
guess is he's going to be delirious for a while.
He's going to be babbling, and if he babbles about
the wrong things, well we could be in a lot
of trouble.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I guess so.
Speaker 8 (09:50):
The turnpike repaving job. Good lord, If they ever start
checking on everything we've contracted for since Holl's been chairmanly
a State Senate public works committee, A boy, we will
have had it.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
Carl, Yeah, like the Cedar River Bridge.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
And Morrison and Dunlop would be finished, all washed up.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, but why would he wanna talk? He's no clearer
than we are, is he?
Speaker 8 (10:12):
But they haven't been playing games with our brains. There's
no way of knowing what his brain may spill, So
what can we do about it? Maybe the operation won't
be a success now, and maybe it will so I
don't know.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
Well, I think a hospital waiting room is the most
dismal place in the whole world. M I've spent most
of my time here for almost a month.
Speaker 8 (10:39):
Now.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
Has your husband been sick that long er? His operation was.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
A month ago.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
He's been sick a lot longer, or it must have
been dreadful for you, missus Kemper, It wasn't nice, you know.
It seems we're we're going to be seeing a good
deal of each other. Don't you think we'd be more
comfortable on a first name basis. Yes, I do esther.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
I think I'm still in shock.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
They called me yesterday afternoon and said Andy had been
in a bad accident, and I I haven't really been
able to grasp it must have been a terrible shock.
I've had almost a year to adjust to ralph situation.
You you called your husband Andy? Is he Andrew Hollis,
(11:28):
the state senator? Yes, they asked him. They've been talking
to him about running for governor. It doesn't seem fair,
does it? A man in his prime, nothing but good
things to look forward to? And no, what is it
that man just coming in? I'm sure he's here to
(11:50):
ask about Andy.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I don't want Hollis.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
They told me i'd find you here. How's how's Andy?
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Well, we don't really know. Didn't they tell you what's happening?
Speaker 8 (12:00):
Brain transplant?
Speaker 6 (12:01):
They said, yes, he's there in the operating room.
Speaker 8 (12:05):
Now, well, I'm sure everything's gonna be okay.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
Everything can't be okay, not for both of us. Oh,
this is missus Kemper and mister Morrison.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
How do you do?
Speaker 8 (12:16):
How did you you're you're the other the other fella's wife?
Speaker 7 (12:20):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (12:22):
Do they do? They say? How long the operation's supposed
to last.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
No, a long time.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
I should think, mm.
Speaker 8 (12:31):
Well, I I guess I'll just wander around and you know,
be nosy if there's if there's anything I can do,
missus hollis anything at all?
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Well, thank you?
Speaker 6 (12:39):
I think not.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Well then, uh I, I expect I'll be seeing you
later on.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
I can't stand that man. Is he a friend of
your husband's? What business acquaintance, a contractor or something like that.
In politics you have to be nice to all kinds
of people. I've always wished and he didn't have anything
to do with Paul Morrison. I think he's a thief.
(13:07):
Beautiful doctor Peters, there was beautiful piece of work i've
ever seen.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Thank you, nurse. Let's not congratulate ourselves just yet. He
has a long way to go.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
Oh yes, I know.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I don't want him all to go site for a second.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
I understand.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I'll be in my office. Let me know at once
if there's any change of any kind. I want readings
taken every ten minutes. You understand, and keep in touch
with me.
Speaker 7 (13:32):
Hey, you're over there at the hospital a long time
pod you get to see him?
Speaker 8 (13:36):
Oh way, I was just you know, looking things over
there was no way they're going to let me see him.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
Does it look like he's gonna be okay?
Speaker 8 (13:45):
I couldn't tell. I couldn't tell. I guess so they've
got a special room, all ragged up just for him.
I sneak to look at a room three ninety four.
I don't want to forget that. You never saw so
many gadgets in all your life.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
You know.
Speaker 8 (13:59):
The more I think about it, Carl, the less I
like it. Yeah, he's not going to be the same man.
How could he be the.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Same brain though?
Speaker 7 (14:09):
I mean, it's Hollis's brain, no matter who else has
got it in his head.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Now, isn't it.
Speaker 8 (14:14):
I wish I knew. I'm afraid he's gonna have to
be dealt with.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
You don't mean, oh hey, I don't want to be
part of anything like that.
Speaker 8 (14:26):
Well, neither do I have, Carl. I suppose nobody ever
really wants to kill anybody.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
Oh.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
Look, rigging bids and kicking back to Hollis, that's one thing.
But this other, no, No, I don't want any part
of it.
Speaker 8 (14:39):
That was all right when the money was rolling in
like for nothing, wasn't it that?
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (14:43):
But this thing, Paul, this thing you're talking about. It's
too much. I can't get mixed up in it. I
mean I can't.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
You'll be okay, Carl. You just have to get used
to the idea. That's all. It's a business deal, just business.
You don't think it is murder?
Speaker 6 (15:07):
Oh is not? Dr Peters? Yes, Jane, I think he's
seen this. I guess. I guess the operation's finished.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I've been looking for you too. Have you both been
right here the whole time?
Speaker 6 (15:18):
How is he all right? Doctor?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
The operation appears to have been successful. He's in a
special recovery room we set up for him. But he
isn't conscious, of course, won't be for a good long while.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
Can I Can we see him?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Not just yet? I'm afraid later on, maybe toward evening.
We don't want to complicate.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Things, Doctor Peters. Yes, I haven't mentioned this to Jane,
but I imagine she's been wondering too. When he's better,
and you know, when he can talk about everything, which
one is he going to be?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
This is the first operation of its kind. You understand,
we're all waiting to see what will happen.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
Yes, but but who will he be?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I can't really see.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
A good question. Who will he be? You have the
brain of Andrew h. Hollis in the body of Ralph Kemperor.
And by which name do you call him? More important
to Jane Hollis and Esther Kemperor at least? Whose husband
is he going to be? Which aspect is dominant, the
physical or the mental? By which of the two forces
(16:42):
is identity established? Perhaps we'll see this tangle unraveled when
I returned shortly with Act two.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
The table looks wonderful.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Sweet, thank you, darling. Reverend Burkie will just want thank you, darling.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
Wait a minute, what's this.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
New mina made eleven tes?
Speaker 9 (16:59):
Because they is only fresh lemons. Because we're having lobster.
Lobster needs lemon and a wire because the leading lemon
juice is reconstituted, it has chemical preservatives.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
Minute made lemon juice is pure lemon.
Speaker 9 (17:10):
Juice and it's frozen for freshness. Here, just taste minute made. No,
I don't have Come on, you can taste the difference.
Sure it tastes like lemon minue. Maad has the juice
of six fresh lemons in this plastic do.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Boot?
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Did you have the door? Let him in?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Reverend Berky, evening, good evening.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Here's Reverend Burkie do the dirty.
Speaker 8 (17:34):
Why is your husband talking like that?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
He was tasting newn pure lemon juice.
Speaker 10 (17:40):
The cooking sharing mid pure lemon juice in your grocer's
fraser case.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
It's got a fresh taste. People really notice.
Speaker 11 (17:51):
What has an all familiarion? Where does a mother for
the past? What's for dinner?
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Probably wants to know.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Who's got the answers, who's got the lost to show?
Speaker 11 (18:11):
Shop right.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Lower price. I like the prices on groceries, and I
like the people that work here. I like the prices.
I like the quality the prices. Oh, I say for
money and cross the street.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
That's my shop.
Speaker 11 (18:31):
Shop shop right, Hey, mom, what's good?
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Shop coopright has great eating at the meat department this
week shopright Splitter Quartered frying chickens forty three cents a pound,
Italian style sausage park and veal eighty nine cents a pound.
Speaker 9 (18:56):
My husband and I work together, and we both belonged
to the International Ladies Workers Union.
Speaker 12 (19:01):
We know what it means to have our union, especially
when you've got a family.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
We want to make our own way, and the ILG
helps us.
Speaker 12 (19:07):
We've got a contract. We know where we stand. We've
got something we can build a future on. That's our union,
and that's what our label stands for.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
Look for the union label when you are Buddy Michael's
jensorbos remember somewhere our union.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
So it is generally agreed.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
That there is a spiritual quality in the makeup of
every man and woman, quite apart from the mental and physical.
Call it soul, essence, basic element whatever. Now should surgery,
as has happened here, place the brain of one man,
with its millions of memories, its education, and its convictions,
into the body of another man. Will the essence of
(20:27):
which we've been speaking the soul weigh heavily enough to
determine identity.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
What are we going to do Esther?
Speaker 6 (20:35):
I don't know. I I've been thinking about it, Jane.
If doctor Peters doesn't know he whichever one he is,
he'll be a stranger to both of us. It's worth
it might al almost have been better if we'll just
(20:55):
have to wait and see, Jane. What else can we do?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
But Paul, this is murder you're talking about.
Speaker 8 (21:07):
He wouldn't be alive today if doctor Peters hadn't done
this nutting apparation on him. He was slated to die anyway.
Can't just see that?
Speaker 6 (21:14):
Well, not because of me, He wasn't.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
Look, Carl, Carl, I've got three kids, you got two.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
Right, right, And I don't want them to grow up
knowing that their old man was a murder.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
So you want them to grow up with their old
man in jail for the other stuff? Riberry, conspiracy, you
name it, Carl. They'll pit it on us. If Hollis
shoots off his mouth.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
But we don't know that he's going to. He may
not say one damn word. Maybe he can't talk to
Pete's say. Look, there's got to be some way so
we don't.
Speaker 8 (21:43):
Have to kill him, all right, all right, you tell
me what it is.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
I I haven't had a chance to think about it yet.
Speaker 8 (21:50):
Well, you can think until your head drops off, Carl,
and you won't come up with anything but what I've
come up with. It's my way or nothing.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
We've got to kill him.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
I don't know if I could.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
You can.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Well, Well, we got plenty of time. He won't be
out of the hospital for a good long time at least,
there's no rush.
Speaker 8 (22:07):
We don't have any time at all. We can't afford
to wait. We'll have to go into the hospital after him.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Hello Andy, No, Hello John, Come on.
Speaker 7 (22:24):
In God deculations, they tell me it was absolutely beautiful.
I was sure you could do it.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Thanks, sit down?
Speaker 7 (22:35):
Will you look so clum? Come on, Randy, you just
completed maybe the most brilliant piece of surgery in medical history.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I want your advice. John. All you have to do
is ask I'm worried about this brilliant piece of surgery.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
Worried. Isn't he doing all right?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
He's alive, The body has accepted the brain so far,
at least that's not my problem. So what is There
are two women sitting out there, missus Hollis and missus Kemperor,
which one is waiting to see her husband. I'm beginning
to think I've got a tiger by the tail.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
He is still unconscious, of.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Course, will be for I don't really know how long.
Speaker 7 (23:23):
The only thing we can do is wait and talk
to him when he can talk.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
How about an educated guess right now?
Speaker 7 (23:32):
How educated would it be? Well, my guess would be
that identity would go along.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
With the brain.
Speaker 7 (23:43):
I mean, at least leads very heavily in that direction.
So you think it'll be Hollis, it's only a guess.
You can't discount the body. Certainly, there's a whole nervous
system in there which the brain is only a part,
the most important part, but still only a part.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
But if the body doesn't reject the brain physically, well,
and I'm guessing, of course, all that does displace the
brain and the rest of the body in contention, anything
could happen. The body is long accustomed to taking commands
(24:22):
from the brain. How is it going to respond now?
And the brain when it doesn't get the responses it expects.
If it doesn't, who knows who to say, it won't
break down completely. That was a chance I knew i'd
have to take. It's the identity problem that's got me
(24:44):
worried right now.
Speaker 7 (24:46):
Yeah, I have fully one suggestion. Wait until he can
talk to you, and then ask him who.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Is Yes, let's you Carl Dunlap. I don't know need
Kyl Dunlap. What does he want?
Speaker 8 (25:09):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Something about the hollis kemper a thing? Well, I guess
I let us see him. I don't take any help
I can get from anybody. All right, Doctor Peters, Yes,
come in.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
Oh, thank you. I'm Carl Dunlap.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yes, I don't believe we've met before, have we?
Speaker 4 (25:30):
No?
Speaker 8 (25:31):
No?
Speaker 7 (25:32):
I mean I was a business associate of Andy Hollis.
Is he gonna be okay?
Speaker 2 (25:38):
He's doing as well as gonna be expected? Well, that
is me, anything much does it? He's in intensive care
right now. The operation was successful as far as we
know at this point. What's your interest?
Speaker 7 (25:51):
Well, you see, we had this business proposition and it
was hanging fire when he had his accident. I can't
go ahead with it without word from Hollis.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
You won't get any kind of word from mister Hollis
for a good long while.
Speaker 7 (26:03):
Yet, Well, this is a really big deal. There's over
a million dollars tied up here. It's kind of a mess.
Unless I can get to talk to Hollis.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
And I advise you to find another way to straighten
out your affairs. Mister had done that and maybe several
days before mister Hollis will be allowed visitors.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
You were right, Paul, I couldn't get into see.
Speaker 8 (26:28):
Well, you agree with me now that there's only one
way we can go.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
Well, we don't know that he's going to talk, Paul.
Speaker 8 (26:34):
We don't know that he won't. Look, I don't want
to gamble, Carl.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Oh, I guess. I guess I don't either.
Speaker 8 (26:41):
Good, I'm it's settled now, all right. Now, here's where
we do it. The easiest thing in the world is
to impersonate a doctor. You put on a lab code,
hang a stethoscope around your neck, and you're a medic, right.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
So, as long as nobody asks you for.
Speaker 8 (26:54):
A pill, it's could never walking me down the hospital corridor.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Well, we don't have lab coats.
Speaker 8 (26:59):
See now, take gad, we go someplace and buy them.
I'll take care of that. You've got a garden, haven't you, Yes,
so you do. You have a silencher for it?
Speaker 6 (27:10):
No, now listen, that's why.
Speaker 8 (27:13):
I can pick up one. So once we get inside the.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
House, wait a minute, while, you've got a gun too,
haven't you?
Speaker 6 (27:21):
Why my gun?
Speaker 8 (27:23):
Because you're going to do it, colonel.
Speaker 7 (27:26):
Oh no, No, I'll go along with the idea even
if I don't like it. But you don't get me
to shoot him myself.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
No, Paul, Sorry, that's the way it has to be.
Speaker 7 (27:37):
Well, why you're the one who wants them out of
the way so bad? Why should I do the show?
Speaker 8 (27:42):
Because if I do it the way you're running around
so scared you might just get an attack of conscience
or something and start talking.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
Oh, that's silly. Why would I do If you do.
Speaker 8 (27:52):
It yourself, you're gonna think twice before you make any
stupid confessions. I won't do it, Paul, Sure you will.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
You can't make me just.
Speaker 8 (28:01):
The point I can. You'll do it simply because I
tell you too. You always do everything I tell you to.
Haven't you noticed.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
They send a couple of containers of coffee back from
the nursing station. They've been so nice. Oh, I hope
you like milk and sugar in yours. I I didn't
know how That'll be fine, Jane, just so there's some
coffee in the Oh, it's going to be a miss,
isn't it? Esther? For us? I'm afraid? So he is
what we need here is a Solomon. I suppose when
(28:38):
he wakes up, when he regains consciousness, he'll know who
he is. Hum It's strange. At first, I was feeling
so grateful to your husband, to you for donating his
brain to rove. Now I'm beginning to wonder if it
if it isn't the other way around, your husband donating
(29:00):
his body to Andy. I guess that's what it will
amount to it. Oh lord, I'm so confused. And another
thing I've been wondering, where are we going to stand legally?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Why?
Speaker 6 (29:16):
I hadn't even thought about that, To tell you the truth,
I'm not even sure how I wanted to come out.
Speaker 8 (29:31):
Hey, Carl, Hey, will you help me with this stuff?
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Why you've been shopping or something?
Speaker 8 (29:35):
What does it look?
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (29:38):
I got the land coach instead of scopes. I didn't
have a bit of trouble. I figured at least they'd
asked for identification or something. But they didn't. Just handle
the stuff over and took my money.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
I don't care.
Speaker 8 (29:48):
Take a look here here, your try is whatever. They
only coming through. His size is a small, medium, and large.
I got mediums.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
It's kind of tight around the middle.
Speaker 8 (29:58):
You wear them open anyway. Now here, put the testisk
over on your neck. There. You've made a pretty good
doctor with that.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
I don't like it.
Speaker 8 (30:08):
They just stop thinking about it. When the time come
is just do it. Let me have your gun? What for?
I got a silence or I just want to see
if it works? All right?
Speaker 2 (30:16):
I keep it in here and I never once used it.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I just thought.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
I thought to have one around Millie's home alone so much.
I don't know what good would do it?
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Though she won't touch it.
Speaker 8 (30:26):
Let me let me it's all right? Is this thing loaded?
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Listen, Paul, couldn't you?
Speaker 6 (30:39):
I mean, I'm not the one.
Speaker 8 (30:40):
That want to all settled, Carol?
Speaker 2 (30:42):
But what if I just freeze and then I can't
do it?
Speaker 4 (30:44):
Huh?
Speaker 7 (30:45):
I never pointed a gun to anybody all my life, Paul.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
I think, I mean, I think really that you are
to do it.
Speaker 8 (30:53):
You'll do fine, just fine. I'm not the least bit worried, Doctor.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
Peters, Doctor Peters.
Speaker 8 (31:04):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
I asked you not to leave your patient?
Speaker 6 (31:07):
Doctor, I think he's coming too. I saw you pass
by the door, and I decided it would be quicker
to come after you than to have you paid.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
All right, let's go. You say he's conscious, well.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
No, not what you could call conscious. Yet he seems
to have gone back to sleep just a minute ago.
He was Oh, can he can articulate?
Speaker 4 (31:32):
That's all right?
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Then? Can what can we do for you?
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Hm?
Speaker 7 (31:44):
Born?
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Yeah, you were born in Indianapolis. Is that what you're
trying to say?
Speaker 8 (31:56):
Yes? Two sop me.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Who am I? Who am I?
Speaker 7 (32:16):
A question originating in the depths of an awesome darkness.
Loss of sure identity is the final step off the
solid substance of security. If you must ask who you are,
there is no safe place for you. You are a
wanderer among uncertainties, lost in a maze, bounded by the unknown,
(32:37):
inhabited only by you and fear. The mind, with no
secure haven in which to rest and restore itself, will
manufacture a haven of its own. And this is what
is commonly known as madness. I'll return shortly with Act three.
Speaker 10 (32:56):
This Christmas, give a gift that will help turn any
kitchen into a fast food restaurant.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Hi.
Speaker 10 (33:02):
Pat Summerold here to suggest you give the Hamilton Beach
Little Mac or Double Mac grill from your participating True
Value Hardware store.
Speaker 8 (33:09):
The Little Mac fast.
Speaker 10 (33:10):
Cooker has a reversible grid with a square side for
grilled sandwiches and a round side for hamburgers, pizza, or
fried eggs. The cover locks on for spatter free cooking,
and the nose stick finish is easy to clean.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
The Hamilton Beach Double Mac.
Speaker 10 (33:24):
Grill from your True Value Hardware store makes two hamburgers
or two grilled cheese sandwiches in just minutes. It can
even be used to fry bacon and eggs together quickly
and easily and without spatter.
Speaker 8 (33:36):
This Christmas, give the gift that.
Speaker 10 (33:38):
Will help turn Lee Kitchen into a fast food restaurant,
the Hamilton Beach, Little Mac or Double Mac fast Cooker
from your participating True Value Hardware store. Remember True Value,
that's more than just a name, It's their way of
doing business. And remember too tell them Pat Summer All
sent you.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
The story is appalling. A flagrant scandal in the Bronx
welfare parents receiving at least ten thousand dollars this year
while their young children groveled helplessly infested with lice. Read
Saturday's New York Daily News for the incredibly shocking details.
Investigative reporter Dick Brass tells how social workers visited the
home and did nothing to alleviate the devastating conditions. Learn
(34:23):
about the mother arrested for endangering her children's lives and
the stepfather arrested for raping one of the girls, age twelve.
A family that's crumbling into pieces Saturday in the Daily News.
Also in the Daily News Saturday, an inside tip for
Christmas shoppers with extra money to play with pinball machines
are in and flashing there, bingbing all over the Metropolitan area.
(34:44):
Reporter Donald Flynn has the scoop on the biggest craze
around today in the Entertainment Pages News, movie critic and
Guarino interviews Ritchie Pryor, movie star and millionaire who says
I still can't get a cab to take me to Harlem.
Good reading Saturday in the New York Daily News.
Speaker 6 (35:07):
I wish somebody would tell me which wine goes with what.
Speaker 13 (35:12):
There is a wine Ganha ganha Asti spumanti that makes
any meal sparkle. Everyday meals, fancy dinners, seafood platters, buffets.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
Even exotic continental dishes.
Speaker 13 (35:26):
Yes, any meals sparkles when you serve this beautiful, pale
gold sparkling wine from the sunny vineyards of Italy.
Speaker 8 (35:33):
Gunha is a delightfully.
Speaker 13 (35:35):
Mellow wine with a delicate bouquet and distinctive flavor that
people like.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
Find out why more people.
Speaker 13 (35:42):
Drink Gania than any other Italian spumanti in the world.
Speaker 6 (35:45):
I think I'll get some for tonight.
Speaker 13 (35:47):
Why not put a little sparkle in your dinner tonight
with a bottle of gun cha Asti spumanti imported by
Paterno Imports Limited, Chicago. Gancha Asti spumanti.
Speaker 6 (36:00):
A disclante makes any speck.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
Who can say with authority what the brain is to
the body, or the body to the brain, which is
master and which is servant?
Speaker 1 (36:27):
To be sure, we tend to.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Characterize the brain as the thinking and therefore the guiding mechanism.
But it is not the entire being it represents. By
any physical measurement we know how to apply only a
small percentage of the total entity. Is it reasonable to assume, then,
that it contains the entire identity, the essence of the individual?
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Well, John, you're a psychiatrist, You've talked to the patient.
What do you think?
Speaker 7 (36:58):
I think, as you said before, you have got a
tiger by the tail. This is completely outside my experience.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Outside anybody's.
Speaker 7 (37:11):
Whether I will tell you one thing. You have opened
up a whole new, unexplored territory. If brain transplants are
to develop, we are going to have to scurry about
and build a new psychiatric framework to contain them.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
You're stumped, Good.
Speaker 7 (37:29):
Stumped you. I have a thousand questions, no answers.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Let to start. At least the questions have to come
before the answers. What are some of them?
Speaker 7 (37:40):
Well, this Holly Sprain of yours has some temporal memories.
He has demonstrated that Kemperor was born in Indianapolis and
hollis in Boston. The Holly is Keemperal, for want of
anything better to call him, now states that he was
born in India Napolis and post Incidentally, I think he's
(38:04):
mentioning it indicates that he is trying to cope, trying
to come to terms with the discrepancy. Anyway, what this
means to me is that there is a memory, the
Indianapolis' memory, outside the brain, and the way I learned it,
(38:26):
memory is strictly the brain's.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Province, spinal memory.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Who knows, there.
Speaker 7 (38:34):
Is not supposed to be any such thing, you know.
The temptation is to turn metaphysical metaphysical, the soul, the unsensed, unmeasurable,
something that makes us more than mere matter. It is
a temptation to say that since Camper's party still lives,
(38:59):
it's still contained something of the temporal soul. That's not
very scientific commoration.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
Still, it's an answer that satisfies in some ways, isn't.
Speaker 7 (39:10):
It not one that satisfies the scientific purpose?
Speaker 11 (39:15):
Though?
Speaker 7 (39:17):
Where do you go from here?
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Randy?
Speaker 2 (39:21):
I was hoping you could advise me. I'm sorry, how
do you let go of a tiger without getting scratched?
Speaker 8 (39:32):
Carl? Would you stop looking so scared? Doctors never look scared,
even when they are, and we're doctors. I can help
how I look? I am scared, don't be. We're just
two doctors walking down the hospital car. They're talking shop tar.
His room member is three ninety four, three doors down,
other side of the horn. I see it parably closed.
Speaker 7 (39:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I see what if they moved them
to another room.
Speaker 8 (39:56):
They wouldn't. Theyve got to plug into so many gadgets
in there. It'd be just too much trouble moving. Now.
You know what we do, right, I guess I'll take
the look in the door. If the doctor's in there,
we just walk down the hall and wait for him
to leave. If there's nobody there but the nurse, we
go in and order her to leave.
Speaker 4 (40:12):
Order her we are.
Speaker 8 (40:13):
Doctors to keep forgetting nurses do what doctors tell him
to do, Okay, And then when we're alone with him.
You just do it. That's so.
Speaker 6 (40:27):
I tried to get in to see him, Jane. I
didn't have any luck, but I tried. Doctor Peters wouldn't
let you in. The nurse wouldn't. She stopped me at
the door. She was nice enough, but she was firm.
Is he's still all right?
Speaker 11 (40:41):
Well?
Speaker 6 (40:42):
The nurse city was sort of half conscious for a
little while.
Speaker 4 (40:46):
Esther is.
Speaker 6 (40:48):
Look those two doctors just passing down the hall. Did
you get a good look at them?
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Not very?
Speaker 6 (40:54):
But what about them? One of them was I'd swear
one of them was Paul Morrison, the man who was
here asking about Andy earlier, the one you didn't like, Yes,
that one. But he's Is he a doctor? No, that's
just the point. He isn't. So what is he doing
in a white coat? You think he's up to something?
(41:16):
I don't know what it could be up to, but
I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Damn.
Speaker 8 (41:24):
I forgot about her, forgot about his wife, Jane Hollis,
who was in the waiting room just now as we
walked past it.
Speaker 6 (41:30):
Did she see you?
Speaker 4 (41:32):
Does she know you? No?
Speaker 8 (41:33):
She knows me, all right. I'm not sure whether she
saw me or not.
Speaker 7 (41:35):
Let's get out of here, Paul. If she saw you,
wed better just get out of here.
Speaker 8 (41:39):
You'd sack stop that way, you panic it the least
little thing I hear. We'll just stop and leaning against
the wall and talk. We're in consultation, okay, And she
doesn't do anything about it. Oh she didn't see me.
Speaker 7 (41:52):
This is crazy. Here's this big hospital, busy as Grand
Central Station.
Speaker 8 (41:57):
Here. We're going to walk into a man's room and
shoot him dead.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
All over the place.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
But does that stop us?
Speaker 7 (42:02):
No?
Speaker 2 (42:02):
We just walk in there and shoot a man dead and.
Speaker 8 (42:04):
Walk right out again. The best way to get lost,
isn't a crowd of people insane? There she the hollest one, yes,
with the other one and just strolling along going the
other way. I guess you didn't see me, so you
wanna go ahead with it. Of course we're gonna go
ahead with it.
Speaker 6 (42:19):
Come on, just sort of stroll along. So if he
sees this, you'll think we're just stretching her legs. Did
you get another look at him? No, I was afraid
to look down that way. I know it was him.
I'm sure. So what are we going to do? I
just want to see if I can find doctor petersn't
tell him about it.
Speaker 8 (42:42):
Okay, here it is room three ninety four. Well, youn,
light that scared look off your face.
Speaker 4 (42:47):
I'm doing the best I can. Part.
Speaker 8 (42:49):
I just let you check. I don't see anybody but
the nurse in there. The doctor doesn't seem to be around.
Speaker 14 (42:55):
Paul.
Speaker 8 (42:55):
I wish't let me do the talking.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
Uh a, nurse?
Speaker 6 (42:59):
Oh are you starting me?
Speaker 8 (43:01):
Is this doctor Peter's patience?
Speaker 2 (43:02):
Yes, doctor Doctor.
Speaker 8 (43:04):
Peters has called us in for a consultation. We expect
him any minute, will you Will you please leave us
alone with the patient?
Speaker 4 (43:08):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (43:09):
Dr Peters instructed me to stay with the paper.
Speaker 8 (43:11):
We will be with him. You needn't worry.
Speaker 6 (43:13):
I don't like to go against doctor Peterson's.
Speaker 8 (43:15):
Structure, so we will take the responsibility. We expect doctor
Peters momentarily. Meantime, we can save time by examining the
patient while we're waiting for him.
Speaker 6 (43:23):
I could stay and assist you. I mean, if there's
anything you.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
Want to know, nurse, nurse, I asked you to leave us.
Speaker 6 (43:31):
Yes, doctor Paul, what is it we got in the
wrong room or something?
Speaker 8 (43:38):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 6 (43:40):
That's not Hollis Look at him. I never saw that
guy before in my line.
Speaker 8 (43:45):
Of course, it isn't Hollis, You're idiot. They transplanted Houises
brain into somebody else.
Speaker 6 (43:51):
Oh yeah, yeah, I forgot.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
Well, well then how can we be sure?
Speaker 7 (43:57):
I mean, if we never saw the guy of for
how do we know we're in the right place at all?
Speaker 8 (44:02):
We are all right? Do it? Girl?
Speaker 6 (44:07):
Paul? Please, if you just listen to me, I don't think.
Speaker 4 (44:14):
Wasn't that the.
Speaker 6 (44:14):
Nurse we just passed. Isn't she supposed to be in
there with him all the time? It certainly looked like her.
You think we ought to go back and make sure
he's all right. Somebody probably came into reliever. I just
want to see doctor Peter's okay. I hope he's in
doctor Peters.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
Yes, all was as alles, missus Camperor. What can I
do for you?
Speaker 6 (44:34):
We just saw an odd thing.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
Odd thing.
Speaker 6 (44:38):
There's a man I know slightly, a business associate of
my husband. I don't like him, frankly, I don't trust him.
I just saw him out in the hall dressed like
a doctor.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
And he isn't a doctor.
Speaker 6 (44:49):
He certainly isn't. Would it be possible for him? And well,
he had somebody with him. Would it be possible for
them just to walk into a patient room that anyone's stopping.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
Him if you're afraid that's what he's going to do.
There's no cause for alarm. There's a nurse in there, but.
Speaker 6 (45:06):
She isn't doctor. We just saw her out in the hole.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
You're sure it's the same nurse. Positive, then maybe we
have to go and check it out.
Speaker 6 (45:16):
There she is, see standing there the nurses station.
Speaker 4 (45:19):
Nurse.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
Yes, doctor, I thought I asked you not to leave
the patient alone, not for any reason.
Speaker 6 (45:23):
Well, he isn't, a loan, said the two doctors. You
asked him for consultation and went in consultation.
Speaker 2 (45:28):
I didn't set up any consultation.
Speaker 6 (45:30):
They said, you did. They They practically ordered me out
of the room.
Speaker 7 (45:34):
All right, let's go, hey, Andy, can you hear me?
It's Carl, don laugh. Can see how you're doing?
Speaker 8 (45:45):
Oh you stop it? Can't you seize? No shape to talk?
Speaker 7 (45:48):
Well, then if you can't talk, shoot him, Carl, you
you take the gun.
Speaker 6 (45:53):
Car I can't, I just can't.
Speaker 8 (45:57):
Will you?
Speaker 12 (45:58):
Not?
Speaker 8 (45:58):
Right there in the temple, not quite touching there there
right there? That's it now? Now the trigger, the trigger, Carl, No, Paul,
I can't squeeze the trigger. Just a little pressure and
it doesn't take much away. Now once more, to make sure, Paul, Paul, please,
I can't sure, you can't.
Speaker 1 (46:12):
Just squeeze.
Speaker 4 (46:13):
Squeeze me before cow just squeeze.
Speaker 11 (46:17):
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (46:19):
Oh my god?
Speaker 6 (46:19):
Shoot the girl, Ralph, he's bleeding. Why is he bleeding?
Speaker 2 (46:23):
Get out of my way. Let me have a look
at you.
Speaker 8 (46:25):
What I said, Carl, shoot them?
Speaker 6 (46:27):
No more, no more, Paul, I can't.
Speaker 2 (46:33):
He's dead, shot twice through the head.
Speaker 8 (46:36):
Don't let me have the gun, Carl, give me the gun.
Speaker 11 (46:38):
No, you heard what I said.
Speaker 7 (46:40):
Give it me kill somebody, pap let me.
Speaker 6 (46:49):
Oh Paul, I didn't mean to shoot your Paul.
Speaker 8 (46:53):
It's my arm.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
Doctor.
Speaker 6 (46:56):
Will you take the gun?
Speaker 2 (46:58):
I'll take it. Nurse, get some security people in here
with you.
Speaker 7 (47:08):
Have they taken those two away, the two who shot your.
Speaker 2 (47:13):
Patient, and they're probably all booked and put away by now.
I just had a weird experience.
Speaker 7 (47:20):
M there's the only kind you've had all days, seems
to me. I just had to console two women, Missus
Hollis and Missus Kemperor, because their husbands were dead.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
Only that wasn't what I did. I found myself telling
them I was sorry about their husband. Singular one husband,
two wives, and nobody could say who the man had
actually belonged to. Yeah, said things who are aroundness in
(47:53):
a way though they were grief stricken, of course, the
two women, each thinking of her own husband as he
used to be. But as for the man I was
trying to give them with my surgery, I'm not sure
they weren't just a little bit relieved that he was
gone and the decisions wouldn't have to be made.
Speaker 7 (48:16):
You know something, Roy, I am not sure the world
is ready for the brain transplant.
Speaker 2 (48:25):
I'm not sure it ever will be.
Speaker 7 (48:35):
Perhaps we should be just as glad that the brain
transplant isn't ready for the world as things stand now.
Speaker 3 (48:43):
One more spiritual dilemma might be just that one too many.
Speaker 8 (48:48):
I'll be back in a few minutes.

With the human mind striving as it always must, toward
the accomplishment tomorrow of today's impossibility, it's not surprising, perhaps
that among the blessed miracles performed, some heinous enormities are
also perpetrated. It may be that the transplanting of a
fine mind from a sick body to a healthy one
(51:58):
would be a good thing, but present the kind of
problem our story has dealt with, how could it not?
Our cast included Gordon Gould, Anne Williams, Brianna Rayburn, Robert

three degrees six celsius in clear mid Manhattan weather Watch
out look Wendy and becoming cloudy tonight below. In the
mid thirties, Hi John Wingate with the eight o'clock report
from w O r News. Samuel Bronfman second calls the
(53:24):
verdict in the state Supreme Court trial of two Brooklyn
men accused of kidnapping him, quote a miscarriage of justice.
The white Plain State Supreme Court jury found the defendants,
mel Patrick Lynch and Dominic Burne innocent of kidnapping but
guilty of extorting Bronfon's father of two point three million dollars.
At a news conference at.
Speaker 17 (53:43):
The Seagum's building in Manhattan today, Whiskey Air Bronfond says
that verdict makes him mad. Quote really mad, he said again.
Quote It's a sad system when two guys who kidnap
someone get caught red handed and they get off.
Speaker 1 (53:56):
Unquote.
Speaker 17 (53:57):
Sam Bronford says he thinks that in this case the
system didn't work. He says he hopes the verdict will
not deter other victims of violent crimes for helping to
prosecute those who have doctor assault him. Present at that
news conference were Sam's mother, Anne Low Bruntfan, Sam Bronfan's
wife Melanie, his brother Edgar, and Edgar's wife Georgiana. New

York State Senator Roy Goodman, family friend of the Bronfman's
comments on the verdict.
Speaker 14 (54:25):
I've known Samuel Bronfman all of his life. He is
a close personal friend of mine and of my families.
I saw him frequently in the months prior to his kidnapping,
during which he was employed as an intern in my
New York City Senate office. The allegations of the Lynchburn
defense attorneys concerning sam Bronfman are, in my judgment, absolutely preposterous.
(54:48):
I'm deeply shocked that a jury would accept the word
of the accused over the word of this extraordinarily fine
young man of good character. A very grave miscarriage of
justice has occurred in New York State.

Phantom jet. So to say, there are indications it were
struck by a heat seeking missile. The Navy jet's pilot,
Lieutenant Jerome Petkowski, a native of Chicago, ejected and was
(55:34):
rescued by a Marine helicopter. Petkowski, currently living with his
family in Virginia Beach, Virginia, is being checked over at

operations from Beaton Rouge, four miles from the plant, said
(56:15):
the National Guard would be used to protect the property
of evacuees who were moved ten miles downriver to Louisiana
State University. About six thousand of those fleeing the gas
are students at Southern University. The rest are residents of
a predominantly black area surrounding the university. Roma said it
would take six to eight hours for that leaking chlorine

And now a Christmas story from the folks at Flemington fir.
Once upon a time there was a lovely princess who
looked forward each year to Christmas when one of the
handsome princes who sought her hand would give her a gift.
One Christmas, a very practical prince gave her a microwave
muffin warmer with a stereotape deck, somewhat useful, very expensive,
but not what a princess dreams of. The next Christmas,
a very observant prince saw that all the fine ladies
(02:03):
were wearing jewelry made of unicorn horns, so he gave
the princes a royal ransom of unicorn jewelry. Lovely, frightfully expensive,
But the princes didn't really want to look like all
the other ladies. Then a devoted prince who knew his
princes was a real special lady deserving of a very
special gift, selected a magnificent mink coat from the Flemington
Ferry Company. The fur was superb, the style extraordinary, and
(02:25):
the price was right. At Christmas, the princes at last
received the gift she had longed for, her own exquisite
Flemington fur, and they lived happily every after. The Flemington
Ferry Company in Flemington, New Jersey, opened Sunday and every
day until six pm.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
What do you suppose your great grandfather would have said
if you had told him that one day men would
fly to the moon land there and plant an American
flag too, that a man's heart could be taken from
his body and put in another man's body to replace
his alien one, that by clicking a button here on Earth,
(03:11):
you could take a picture of a rock pile on Mars.
He'd tell you to go and have your head examined. Well,
what would you say if we suggested that someday in
the future, not only heart transplants, but brain transplants would
be possible.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Ridiculous maybe?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Or are you perhaps just being a grandfather when you
say so.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Come in. This is Alice, thank you doctor, and this
is missus Kempeler.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I suppose you're wondering why I've asked you to stop
in at my office, both of you at the same time.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
I think about it.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Well, you two have one thing in common. I suppose
you know that our.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
Husbands.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yes, both your husbands are in condition, in terminal condition.
Unfortunately you've both been told that separately. Yes, yes, what
I want to suggest now is that it may be
maybe I say, possible to save one of them, and
it's just possible that the one whole man may continue
(04:19):
to live.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
But if they're both, which man?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Hear me out?
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Please?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Missus Hallis, your husband is suffering from massive internal injuries
sustained in an automobile crash yesterday. Yes, he's being kept
alive from minute to minute, but I'm afraid he can't
possibly last much longer.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
I was told that yesterday.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yes, and your husband, Missus Kemperor, has that a malignant
brain tumor removed. The operation could be called successful in
that the tumor was removed and your husband is still alive,
But brain damage has already been done, and of course
that cannot be repaired.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
I understand that, yes, he.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Will not improve, and he cannot be expected to live
in this condition for more than say, a few weeks.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Yes, so you've already told.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Me and Missus Hollis, your husband's brain was undamaged in
the accident.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
What are you suggesting?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
A brain transplant?
Speaker 6 (05:19):
A brain transplant, I've never heard of such a thing.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
The fact is it's never been done before, not with
the human brain. But I've been experimenting with animals for
many years. My last three experiments have been completely successful,
completely successful.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
And you think it can be done with our husbands.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You must understand that I cannot promise success. It still
must be called experimental techniques will be needed, which are
not yet. However, I believe that it can be done.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
It's quite overwhelming.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
The thing is, to put it bluntly. We have absolutely
nothing to lose. Your husbands are both going to die.
There's no question whatever about that. Maybe this way, if
the surgery is successful, we can save one man.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
Well, what do.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
You think, missus hallis I I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I'd ask you both to sign releases.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Of course, as he says, there's nothing to lose. I
suppose not.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
I wish I could ask Andy.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Unfortunately that's impossible.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
At least we'd be doing something. I suppose you're right, Yes, yes,
of course you are. All right, I'll find the release,
Doctor Peterson, all.
Speaker 8 (06:45):
Right, all right, all I keep your shirt on. I'm coming.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
Oh, Paul, can I come in?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Please?
Speaker 8 (06:52):
Sure your money?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Upset?
Speaker 7 (06:55):
Well, there's this doctor, doctor Peters. He's a brain surgeon and,
according to the guy on the radio, just about the
best there is and he's going to do a brain transplant.
Speaker 8 (07:08):
Job, brain transplant. That's right, It can't be done.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
It's Dr Peters. He thinks he can do it, and
he's going to try. Maybe it's doing it right now.
Speaker 8 (07:16):
Well that's interesting.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
Do you want to know whose brain is getting transplanted?
Andy Hollis's brain? That's who State Senator Andrew h Hollis.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Your kidding, No, I'm not.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
He was in this auto accident yesterday Afternoon's you hear
about that?
Speaker 8 (07:34):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (07:35):
No?
Speaker 8 (07:35):
Was he badly hurt? I guess he must have been.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
He was busted up pretty good. And they got this
other fellow there in the hospital. I can't remember his name.
He's dying from brain cancer. And they're going to transplant
Hollis's brain into the other fella's head.
Speaker 8 (07:52):
Only Hollis will die before they get a chance to operate.
Speaker 7 (07:55):
I told you the radio guy said they were going
to try any minute.
Speaker 8 (07:59):
I gotta think about this.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
You think that Hollis h well, you know, when they
get the switch made and everything, you think he'll shoot
his mouth up.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
I don't know, and I just shut up.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Let me think.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Come in, Hello, John, Hello, I got this message the
important doctor Rindalph Peters wants to see me.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yes, come on in.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
You are actually going ahead with the brain transplant.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yes, don't you approve?
Speaker 7 (08:34):
Well, sure you? Why wouldn't I I don't know enough
about it to disapprove anyway.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Dr Muller, the eminent psychiatrist, has just admitted there's something
he doesn't know much about that's practically Newsworthy.
Speaker 7 (08:48):
Will give me a half hour to bone up.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I'm going to need your help, John. I think we're
going to overlap a little here.
Speaker 7 (08:57):
Yeah, I've been thinking about that. If that transplanted brain
works at all, it will have gone through something pretty
damn traumatic.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
It frightens me a little more than a little. Can
I depend on you to stand by you?
Speaker 6 (09:15):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
You can, Well, then I guess I'll go do it
right now, right now.
Speaker 8 (09:27):
I think we've got a serious.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
Problem, Karl, Yeah, on a kind of holicy.
Speaker 8 (09:33):
Well, you don't have to be a doctor to know
that house is going to be in pretty rough shape
where you know his brain is after his operation. My
guess is he's going to be delirious for a while.
He's going to be babbling, and if he babbles about
the wrong things, well we could be in a lot
of trouble.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I guess so.
Speaker 8 (09:50):
The turnpike repaving job. Good lord, If they ever start
checking on everything we've contracted for since Holl's been chairmanly
a State Senate public works committee, A boy, we will
have had it.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
Carl, Yeah, like the Cedar River Bridge.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
And Morrison and Dunlop would be finished, all washed up.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, but why would he wanna talk? He's no clearer
than we are, is he?
Speaker 8 (10:12):
But they haven't been playing games with our brains. There's
no way of knowing what his brain may spill, So
what can we do about it? Maybe the operation won't
be a success now, and maybe it will so I
don't know.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
Well, I think a hospital waiting room is the most
dismal place in the whole world. M I've spent most
of my time here for almost a month.
Speaker 8 (10:39):
Now.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
Has your husband been sick that long er? His operation was.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
A month ago.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
He's been sick a lot longer, or it must have
been dreadful for you, missus Kemper, It wasn't nice, you know.
It seems we're we're going to be seeing a good
deal of each other. Don't you think we'd be more
comfortable on a first name basis. Yes, I do esther.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
I think I'm still in shock.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
They called me yesterday afternoon and said Andy had been
in a bad accident, and I I haven't really been
able to grasp it must have been a terrible shock.
I've had almost a year to adjust to ralph situation.
You you called your husband Andy? Is he Andrew Hollis,
(11:28):
the state senator? Yes, they asked him. They've been talking
to him about running for governor. It doesn't seem fair,
does it? A man in his prime, nothing but good
things to look forward to? And no, what is it
that man just coming in? I'm sure he's here to
(11:50):
ask about Andy.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I don't want Hollis.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
They told me i'd find you here. How's how's Andy?
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Well, we don't really know. Didn't they tell you what's happening?
Speaker 8 (12:00):
Brain transplant?
Speaker 6 (12:01):
They said, yes, he's there in the operating room.
Speaker 8 (12:05):
Now, well, I'm sure everything's gonna be okay.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
Everything can't be okay, not for both of us. Oh,
this is missus Kemper and mister Morrison.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
How do you do?
Speaker 8 (12:16):
How did you you're you're the other the other fella's wife?
Speaker 7 (12:20):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (12:22):
Do they do? They say? How long the operation's supposed
to last.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
No, a long time.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
I should think, mm.
Speaker 8 (12:31):
Well, I I guess I'll just wander around and you know,
be nosy if there's if there's anything I can do,
missus hollis anything at all?
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Well, thank you?
Speaker 6 (12:39):
I think not.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Well then, uh I, I expect I'll be seeing you
later on.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
I can't stand that man. Is he a friend of
your husband's? What business acquaintance, a contractor or something like that.
In politics you have to be nice to all kinds
of people. I've always wished and he didn't have anything
to do with Paul Morrison. I think he's a thief.
(13:07):
Beautiful doctor Peters, there was beautiful piece of work i've
ever seen.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Thank you, nurse. Let's not congratulate ourselves just yet. He
has a long way to go.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
Oh yes, I know.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I don't want him all to go site for a second.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
I understand.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I'll be in my office. Let me know at once
if there's any change of any kind. I want readings
taken every ten minutes. You understand, and keep in touch
with me.
Speaker 7 (13:32):
Hey, you're over there at the hospital a long time
pod you get to see him?
Speaker 8 (13:36):
Oh way, I was just you know, looking things over
there was no way they're going to let me see him.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
Does it look like he's gonna be okay?
Speaker 8 (13:45):
I couldn't tell. I couldn't tell. I guess so they've
got a special room, all ragged up just for him.
I sneak to look at a room three ninety four.
I don't want to forget that. You never saw so
many gadgets in all your life.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
You know.
Speaker 8 (13:59):
The more I think about it, Carl, the less I
like it. Yeah, he's not going to be the same man.
How could he be the.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Same brain though?
Speaker 7 (14:09):
I mean, it's Hollis's brain, no matter who else has
got it in his head.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Now, isn't it.
Speaker 8 (14:14):
I wish I knew. I'm afraid he's gonna have to
be dealt with.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
You don't mean, oh hey, I don't want to be
part of anything like that.
Speaker 8 (14:26):
Well, neither do I have, Carl. I suppose nobody ever
really wants to kill anybody.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
Oh.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
Look, rigging bids and kicking back to Hollis, that's one thing.
But this other, no, No, I don't want any part
of it.
Speaker 8 (14:39):
That was all right when the money was rolling in
like for nothing, wasn't it that?
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (14:43):
But this thing, Paul, this thing you're talking about. It's
too much. I can't get mixed up in it. I
mean I can't.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
You'll be okay, Carl. You just have to get used
to the idea. That's all. It's a business deal, just business.
You don't think it is murder?
Speaker 6 (15:07):
Oh is not? Dr Peters? Yes, Jane, I think he's
seen this. I guess. I guess the operation's finished.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I've been looking for you too. Have you both been
right here the whole time?
Speaker 6 (15:18):
How is he all right? Doctor?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
The operation appears to have been successful. He's in a
special recovery room we set up for him. But he
isn't conscious, of course, won't be for a good long while.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
Can I Can we see him?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Not just yet? I'm afraid later on, maybe toward evening.
We don't want to complicate.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Things, Doctor Peters. Yes, I haven't mentioned this to Jane,
but I imagine she's been wondering too. When he's better,
and you know, when he can talk about everything, which
one is he going to be?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
This is the first operation of its kind. You understand,
we're all waiting to see what will happen.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
Yes, but but who will he be?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I can't really see.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
A good question. Who will he be? You have the
brain of Andrew h. Hollis in the body of Ralph Kemperor.
And by which name do you call him? More important
to Jane Hollis and Esther Kemperor at least? Whose husband
is he going to be? Which aspect is dominant, the
physical or the mental? By which of the two forces
(16:42):
is identity established? Perhaps we'll see this tangle unraveled when
I returned shortly with Act two.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
The table looks wonderful.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Sweet, thank you, darling. Reverend Burkie will just want thank you, darling.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
Wait a minute, what's this.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
New mina made eleven tes?
Speaker 9 (16:59):
Because they is only fresh lemons. Because we're having lobster.
Lobster needs lemon and a wire because the leading lemon
juice is reconstituted, it has chemical preservatives.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
Minute made lemon juice is pure lemon.
Speaker 9 (17:10):
Juice and it's frozen for freshness. Here, just taste minute made. No,
I don't have Come on, you can taste the difference.
Sure it tastes like lemon minue. Maad has the juice
of six fresh lemons in this plastic do.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Boot?
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Did you have the door? Let him in?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Reverend Berky, evening, good evening.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Here's Reverend Burkie do the dirty.
Speaker 8 (17:34):
Why is your husband talking like that?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
He was tasting newn pure lemon juice.
Speaker 10 (17:40):
The cooking sharing mid pure lemon juice in your grocer's
fraser case.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
It's got a fresh taste. People really notice.
Speaker 11 (17:51):
What has an all familiarion? Where does a mother for
the past? What's for dinner?
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Probably wants to know.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Who's got the answers, who's got the lost to show?
Speaker 11 (18:11):
Shop right.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Lower price. I like the prices on groceries, and I
like the people that work here. I like the prices.
I like the quality the prices. Oh, I say for
money and cross the street.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
That's my shop.
Speaker 11 (18:31):
Shop shop right, Hey, mom, what's good?
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Shop coopright has great eating at the meat department this
week shopright Splitter Quartered frying chickens forty three cents a pound,
Italian style sausage park and veal eighty nine cents a pound.
Speaker 9 (18:56):
My husband and I work together, and we both belonged
to the International Ladies Workers Union.
Speaker 12 (19:01):
We know what it means to have our union, especially
when you've got a family.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
We want to make our own way, and the ILG
helps us.
Speaker 12 (19:07):
We've got a contract. We know where we stand. We've
got something we can build a future on. That's our union,
and that's what our label stands for.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
Look for the union label when you are Buddy Michael's
jensorbos remember somewhere our union.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
So it is generally agreed.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
That there is a spiritual quality in the makeup of
every man and woman, quite apart from the mental and physical.
Call it soul, essence, basic element whatever. Now should surgery,
as has happened here, place the brain of one man,
with its millions of memories, its education, and its convictions,
into the body of another man. Will the essence of
(20:27):
which we've been speaking the soul weigh heavily enough to
determine identity.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
What are we going to do Esther?
Speaker 6 (20:35):
I don't know. I I've been thinking about it, Jane.
If doctor Peters doesn't know he whichever one he is,
he'll be a stranger to both of us. It's worth
it might al almost have been better if we'll just
(20:55):
have to wait and see, Jane. What else can we do?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
But Paul, this is murder you're talking about.
Speaker 8 (21:07):
He wouldn't be alive today if doctor Peters hadn't done
this nutting apparation on him. He was slated to die anyway.
Can't just see that?
Speaker 6 (21:14):
Well, not because of me, He wasn't.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
Look, Carl, Carl, I've got three kids, you got two.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
Right, right, And I don't want them to grow up
knowing that their old man was a murder.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
So you want them to grow up with their old
man in jail for the other stuff? Riberry, conspiracy, you
name it, Carl. They'll pit it on us. If Hollis
shoots off his mouth.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
But we don't know that he's going to. He may
not say one damn word. Maybe he can't talk to
Pete's say. Look, there's got to be some way so
we don't.
Speaker 8 (21:43):
Have to kill him, all right, all right, you tell
me what it is.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
I I haven't had a chance to think about it yet.
Speaker 8 (21:50):
Well, you can think until your head drops off, Carl,
and you won't come up with anything but what I've
come up with. It's my way or nothing.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
We've got to kill him.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
I don't know if I could.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
You can.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Well, Well, we got plenty of time. He won't be
out of the hospital for a good long time at least,
there's no rush.
Speaker 8 (22:07):
We don't have any time at all. We can't afford
to wait. We'll have to go into the hospital after him.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Hello Andy, No, Hello John, Come on.
Speaker 7 (22:24):
In God deculations, they tell me it was absolutely beautiful.
I was sure you could do it.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Thanks, sit down?
Speaker 7 (22:35):
Will you look so clum? Come on, Randy, you just
completed maybe the most brilliant piece of surgery in medical history.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I want your advice. John. All you have to do
is ask I'm worried about this brilliant piece of surgery.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
Worried. Isn't he doing all right?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
He's alive, The body has accepted the brain so far,
at least that's not my problem. So what is There
are two women sitting out there, missus Hollis and missus Kemperor,
which one is waiting to see her husband. I'm beginning
to think I've got a tiger by the tail.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
He is still unconscious, of.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Course, will be for I don't really know how long.
Speaker 7 (23:23):
The only thing we can do is wait and talk
to him when he can talk.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
How about an educated guess right now?
Speaker 7 (23:32):
How educated would it be? Well, my guess would be
that identity would go along.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
With the brain.
Speaker 7 (23:43):
I mean, at least leads very heavily in that direction.
So you think it'll be Hollis, it's only a guess.
You can't discount the body. Certainly, there's a whole nervous
system in there which the brain is only a part,
the most important part, but still only a part.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
But if the body doesn't reject the brain physically, well,
and I'm guessing, of course, all that does displace the
brain and the rest of the body in contention, anything
could happen. The body is long accustomed to taking commands
(24:22):
from the brain. How is it going to respond now?
And the brain when it doesn't get the responses it expects.
If it doesn't, who knows who to say, it won't
break down completely. That was a chance I knew i'd
have to take. It's the identity problem that's got me
(24:44):
worried right now.
Speaker 7 (24:46):
Yeah, I have fully one suggestion. Wait until he can
talk to you, and then ask him who.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Is Yes, let's you Carl Dunlap. I don't know need
Kyl Dunlap. What does he want?
Speaker 8 (25:09):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Something about the hollis kemper a thing? Well, I guess
I let us see him. I don't take any help
I can get from anybody. All right, Doctor Peters, Yes,
come in.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
Oh, thank you. I'm Carl Dunlap.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yes, I don't believe we've met before, have we?
Speaker 4 (25:30):
No?
Speaker 8 (25:31):
No?
Speaker 7 (25:32):
I mean I was a business associate of Andy Hollis.
Is he gonna be okay?
Speaker 2 (25:38):
He's doing as well as gonna be expected? Well, that
is me, anything much does it? He's in intensive care
right now. The operation was successful as far as we
know at this point. What's your interest?
Speaker 7 (25:51):
Well, you see, we had this business proposition and it
was hanging fire when he had his accident. I can't
go ahead with it without word from Hollis.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
You won't get any kind of word from mister Hollis
for a good long while.
Speaker 7 (26:03):
Yet, Well, this is a really big deal. There's over
a million dollars tied up here. It's kind of a mess.
Unless I can get to talk to Hollis.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
And I advise you to find another way to straighten
out your affairs. Mister had done that and maybe several
days before mister Hollis will be allowed visitors.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
You were right, Paul, I couldn't get into see.
Speaker 8 (26:28):
Well, you agree with me now that there's only one
way we can go.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
Well, we don't know that he's going to talk, Paul.
Speaker 8 (26:34):
We don't know that he won't. Look, I don't want
to gamble, Carl.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Oh, I guess. I guess I don't either.
Speaker 8 (26:41):
Good, I'm it's settled now, all right. Now, here's where
we do it. The easiest thing in the world is
to impersonate a doctor. You put on a lab code,
hang a stethoscope around your neck, and you're a medic, right.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
So, as long as nobody asks you for.
Speaker 8 (26:54):
A pill, it's could never walking me down the hospital corridor.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Well, we don't have lab coats.
Speaker 8 (26:59):
See now, take gad, we go someplace and buy them.
I'll take care of that. You've got a garden, haven't you, Yes,
so you do. You have a silencher for it?
Speaker 6 (27:10):
No, now listen, that's why.
Speaker 8 (27:13):
I can pick up one. So once we get inside the.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
House, wait a minute, while, you've got a gun too,
haven't you?
Speaker 6 (27:21):
Why my gun?
Speaker 8 (27:23):
Because you're going to do it, colonel.
Speaker 7 (27:26):
Oh no, No, I'll go along with the idea even
if I don't like it. But you don't get me
to shoot him myself.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
No, Paul, Sorry, that's the way it has to be.
Speaker 7 (27:37):
Well, why you're the one who wants them out of
the way so bad? Why should I do the show?
Speaker 8 (27:42):
Because if I do it the way you're running around
so scared you might just get an attack of conscience
or something and start talking.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
Oh, that's silly. Why would I do If you do.
Speaker 8 (27:52):
It yourself, you're gonna think twice before you make any
stupid confessions. I won't do it, Paul, Sure you will.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
You can't make me just.
Speaker 8 (28:01):
The point I can. You'll do it simply because I
tell you too. You always do everything I tell you to.
Haven't you noticed.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
They send a couple of containers of coffee back from
the nursing station. They've been so nice. Oh, I hope
you like milk and sugar in yours. I I didn't
know how That'll be fine, Jane, just so there's some
coffee in the Oh, it's going to be a miss,
isn't it? Esther? For us? I'm afraid? So he is
what we need here is a Solomon. I suppose when
(28:38):
he wakes up, when he regains consciousness, he'll know who
he is. Hum It's strange. At first, I was feeling
so grateful to your husband, to you for donating his
brain to rove. Now I'm beginning to wonder if it
if it isn't the other way around, your husband donating
(29:00):
his body to Andy. I guess that's what it will
amount to it. Oh lord, I'm so confused. And another
thing I've been wondering, where are we going to stand legally?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Why?
Speaker 6 (29:16):
I hadn't even thought about that, To tell you the truth,
I'm not even sure how I wanted to come out.
Speaker 8 (29:31):
Hey, Carl, Hey, will you help me with this stuff?
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Why you've been shopping or something?
Speaker 8 (29:35):
What does it look?
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (29:38):
I got the land coach instead of scopes. I didn't
have a bit of trouble. I figured at least they'd
asked for identification or something. But they didn't. Just handle
the stuff over and took my money.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
I don't care.
Speaker 8 (29:48):
Take a look here here, your try is whatever. They
only coming through. His size is a small, medium, and large.
I got mediums.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
It's kind of tight around the middle.
Speaker 8 (29:58):
You wear them open anyway. Now here, put the testisk
over on your neck. There. You've made a pretty good
doctor with that.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
I don't like it.
Speaker 8 (30:08):
They just stop thinking about it. When the time come
is just do it. Let me have your gun? What for?
I got a silence or I just want to see
if it works? All right?
Speaker 2 (30:16):
I keep it in here and I never once used it.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I just thought.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
I thought to have one around Millie's home alone so much.
I don't know what good would do it?
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Though she won't touch it.
Speaker 8 (30:26):
Let me let me it's all right? Is this thing loaded?
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Listen, Paul, couldn't you?
Speaker 6 (30:39):
I mean, I'm not the one.
Speaker 8 (30:40):
That want to all settled, Carol?
Speaker 2 (30:42):
But what if I just freeze and then I can't
do it?
Speaker 4 (30:44):
Huh?
Speaker 7 (30:45):
I never pointed a gun to anybody all my life, Paul.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
I think, I mean, I think really that you are
to do it.
Speaker 8 (30:53):
You'll do fine, just fine. I'm not the least bit worried, Doctor.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
Peters, Doctor Peters.
Speaker 8 (31:04):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
I asked you not to leave your patient?
Speaker 6 (31:07):
Doctor, I think he's coming too. I saw you pass
by the door, and I decided it would be quicker
to come after you than to have you paid.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
All right, let's go. You say he's conscious, well.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
No, not what you could call conscious. Yet he seems
to have gone back to sleep just a minute ago.
He was Oh, can he can articulate?
Speaker 4 (31:32):
That's all right?
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Then? Can what can we do for you?
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Hm?
Speaker 7 (31:44):
Born?
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Yeah, you were born in Indianapolis. Is that what you're
trying to say?
Speaker 8 (31:56):
Yes? Two sop me.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Who am I? Who am I?
Speaker 7 (32:16):
A question originating in the depths of an awesome darkness.
Loss of sure identity is the final step off the
solid substance of security. If you must ask who you are,
there is no safe place for you. You are a
wanderer among uncertainties, lost in a maze, bounded by the unknown,
(32:37):
inhabited only by you and fear. The mind, with no
secure haven in which to rest and restore itself, will
manufacture a haven of its own. And this is what
is commonly known as madness. I'll return shortly with Act three.
Speaker 10 (32:56):
This Christmas, give a gift that will help turn any
kitchen into a fast food restaurant.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Hi.
Speaker 10 (33:02):
Pat Summerold here to suggest you give the Hamilton Beach
Little Mac or Double Mac grill from your participating True
Value Hardware store.
Speaker 8 (33:09):
The Little Mac fast.
Speaker 10 (33:10):
Cooker has a reversible grid with a square side for
grilled sandwiches and a round side for hamburgers, pizza, or
fried eggs. The cover locks on for spatter free cooking,
and the nose stick finish is easy to clean.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
The Hamilton Beach Double Mac.
Speaker 10 (33:24):
Grill from your True Value Hardware store makes two hamburgers
or two grilled cheese sandwiches in just minutes. It can
even be used to fry bacon and eggs together quickly
and easily and without spatter.
Speaker 8 (33:36):
This Christmas, give the gift that.
Speaker 10 (33:38):
Will help turn Lee Kitchen into a fast food restaurant,
the Hamilton Beach, Little Mac or Double Mac fast Cooker
from your participating True Value Hardware store. Remember True Value,
that's more than just a name, It's their way of
doing business. And remember too tell them Pat Summer All
sent you.

There is a wine Ganha ganha Asti spumanti that makes

Speaker 6 (35:24):

Speaker 13 (35:26):
Yes, any meals sparkles when you serve this beautiful, pale
gold sparkling wine from the sunny vineyards of Italy.
Speaker 8 (35:33):

people like.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
Find out why more people.
Speaker 13 (35:42):

Speaker 6 (35:45):
I think I'll get some for tonight.
Speaker 13 (35:47):
Why not put a little sparkle in your dinner tonight
with a bottle of gun cha Asti spumanti imported by
Paterno Imports Limited, Chicago. Gancha Asti spumanti.
Speaker 6 (36:00):
A disclante makes any speck.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
Who can say with authority what the brain is to
the body, or the body to the brain, which is
master and which is servant?
Speaker 1 (36:27):
To be sure, we tend to.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Characterize the brain as the thinking and therefore the guiding mechanism.
But it is not the entire being it represents. By
any physical measurement we know how to apply only a
small percentage of the total entity. Is it reasonable to assume, then,
that it contains the entire identity, the essence of the individual?
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Well, John, you're a psychiatrist, You've talked to the patient.
What do you think?
Speaker 7 (36:58):
I think, as you said before, you have got a
tiger by the tail. This is completely outside my experience.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Outside anybody's.
Speaker 7 (37:11):
Whether I will tell you one thing. You have opened
up a whole new, unexplored territory. If brain transplants are
to develop, we are going to have to scurry about
and build a new psychiatric framework to contain them.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
You're stumped, Good.
Speaker 7 (37:29):
Stumped you. I have a thousand questions, no answers.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Let to start. At least the questions have to come
before the answers. What are some of them?
Speaker 7 (37:40):
Well, this Holly Sprain of yours has some temporal memories.
He has demonstrated that Kemperor was born in Indianapolis and
hollis in Boston. The Holly is Keemperal, for want of
anything better to call him, now states that he was
born in India Napolis and post Incidentally, I think he's
(38:04):
mentioning it indicates that he is trying to cope, trying
to come to terms with the discrepancy. Anyway, what this
means to me is that there is a memory, the
Indianapolis' memory, outside the brain, and the way I learned it,
(38:26):
memory is strictly the brain's.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Province, spinal memory.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Who knows, there.
Speaker 7 (38:34):
Is not supposed to be any such thing, you know.
The temptation is to turn metaphysical metaphysical, the soul, the unsensed, unmeasurable,
something that makes us more than mere matter. It is
a temptation to say that since Camper's party still lives,
(38:59):
it's still contained something of the temporal soul. That's not
very scientific commoration.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
Still, it's an answer that satisfies in some ways, isn't.
Speaker 7 (39:10):
It not one that satisfies the scientific purpose?
Speaker 11 (39:15):
Though?
Speaker 7 (39:17):
Where do you go from here?
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Randy?
Speaker 2 (39:21):
I was hoping you could advise me. I'm sorry, how
do you let go of a tiger without getting scratched?
Speaker 8 (39:32):
Carl? Would you stop looking so scared? Doctors never look scared,
even when they are, and we're doctors. I can help
how I look? I am scared, don't be. We're just
two doctors walking down the hospital car. They're talking shop tar.
His room member is three ninety four, three doors down,
other side of the horn. I see it parably closed.
Speaker 7 (39:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I see what if they moved them
to another room.
Speaker 8 (39:56):
They wouldn't. Theyve got to plug into so many gadgets
in there. It'd be just too much trouble moving. Now.
You know what we do, right, I guess I'll take
the look in the door. If the doctor's in there,
we just walk down the hall and wait for him
to leave. If there's nobody there but the nurse, we
go in and order her to leave.
Speaker 4 (40:12):
Order her we are.
Speaker 8 (40:13):
Doctors to keep forgetting nurses do what doctors tell him
to do, Okay, And then when we're alone with him.
You just do it. That's so.
Speaker 6 (40:27):
I tried to get in to see him, Jane. I
didn't have any luck, but I tried. Doctor Peters wouldn't
let you in. The nurse wouldn't. She stopped me at
the door. She was nice enough, but she was firm.
Is he's still all right?
Speaker 11 (40:41):
Well?
Speaker 6 (40:42):
The nurse city was sort of half conscious for a
little while.
Speaker 4 (40:46):
Esther is.
Speaker 6 (40:48):
Look those two doctors just passing down the hall. Did
you get a good look at them?
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Not very?
Speaker 6 (40:54):
But what about them? One of them was I'd swear
one of them was Paul Morrison, the man who was
here asking about Andy earlier, the one you didn't like, Yes,
that one. But he's Is he a doctor? No, that's
just the point. He isn't. So what is he doing
in a white coat? You think he's up to something?
(41:16):
I don't know what it could be up to, but
I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Damn.
Speaker 8 (41:24):
I forgot about her, forgot about his wife, Jane Hollis,
who was in the waiting room just now as we
walked past it.
Speaker 6 (41:30):
Did she see you?
Speaker 4 (41:32):
Does she know you? No?
Speaker 8 (41:33):
She knows me, all right. I'm not sure whether she
saw me or not.
Speaker 7 (41:35):
Let's get out of here, Paul. If she saw you,
wed better just get out of here.
Speaker 8 (41:39):
You'd sack stop that way, you panic it the least
little thing I hear. We'll just stop and leaning against
the wall and talk. We're in consultation, okay, And she
doesn't do anything about it. Oh she didn't see me.
Speaker 7 (41:52):
This is crazy. Here's this big hospital, busy as Grand
Central Station.
Speaker 8 (41:57):
Here. We're going to walk into a man's room and
shoot him dead.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
All over the place.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
But does that stop us?
Speaker 7 (42:02):
No?
Speaker 2 (42:02):
We just walk in there and shoot a man dead and.
Speaker 8 (42:04):
Walk right out again. The best way to get lost,
isn't a crowd of people insane? There she the hollest one, yes,
with the other one and just strolling along going the
other way. I guess you didn't see me, so you
wanna go ahead with it. Of course we're gonna go
ahead with it.
Speaker 6 (42:19):
Come on, just sort of stroll along. So if he
sees this, you'll think we're just stretching her legs. Did
you get another look at him? No, I was afraid
to look down that way. I know it was him.
I'm sure. So what are we going to do? I
just want to see if I can find doctor petersn't
tell him about it.
Speaker 8 (42:42):
Okay, here it is room three ninety four. Well, youn,
light that scared look off your face.
Speaker 4 (42:47):
I'm doing the best I can. Part.
Speaker 8 (42:49):
I just let you check. I don't see anybody but
the nurse in there. The doctor doesn't seem to be around.
Speaker 14 (42:55):
Paul.
Speaker 8 (42:55):
I wish't let me do the talking.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
Uh a, nurse?
Speaker 6 (42:59):
Oh are you starting me?
Speaker 8 (43:01):
Is this doctor Peter's patience?
Speaker 2 (43:02):
Yes, doctor Doctor.
Speaker 8 (43:04):
Peters has called us in for a consultation. We expect
him any minute, will you Will you please leave us
alone with the patient?
Speaker 4 (43:08):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (43:09):
Dr Peters instructed me to stay with the paper.
Speaker 8 (43:11):
We will be with him. You needn't worry.
Speaker 6 (43:13):
I don't like to go against doctor Peterson's.
Speaker 8 (43:15):
Structure, so we will take the responsibility. We expect doctor
Peters momentarily. Meantime, we can save time by examining the
patient while we're waiting for him.
Speaker 6 (43:23):
I could stay and assist you. I mean, if there's
anything you.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
Want to know, nurse, nurse, I asked you to leave us.
Speaker 6 (43:31):
Yes, doctor Paul, what is it we got in the
wrong room or something?
Speaker 8 (43:38):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 6 (43:40):
That's not Hollis Look at him. I never saw that
guy before in my line.
Speaker 8 (43:45):
Of course, it isn't Hollis, You're idiot. They transplanted Houises
brain into somebody else.
Speaker 6 (43:51):
Oh yeah, yeah, I forgot.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
Well, well then how can we be sure?
Speaker 7 (43:57):
I mean, if we never saw the guy of for
how do we know we're in the right place at all?
Speaker 8 (44:02):
We are all right? Do it? Girl?
Speaker 6 (44:07):
Paul? Please, if you just listen to me, I don't think.
Speaker 4 (44:14):
Wasn't that the.
Speaker 6 (44:14):
Nurse we just passed. Isn't she supposed to be in
there with him all the time? It certainly looked like her.
You think we ought to go back and make sure
he's all right. Somebody probably came into reliever. I just
want to see doctor Peter's okay. I hope he's in
doctor Peters.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
Yes, all was as alles, missus Camperor. What can I
do for you?
Speaker 6 (44:34):
We just saw an odd thing.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
Odd thing.
Speaker 6 (44:38):
There's a man I know slightly, a business associate of
my husband. I don't like him, frankly, I don't trust him.
I just saw him out in the hall dressed like
a doctor.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
And he isn't a doctor.
Speaker 6 (44:49):
He certainly isn't. Would it be possible for him? And well,
he had somebody with him. Would it be possible for
them just to walk into a patient room that anyone's stopping.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
Him if you're afraid that's what he's going to do.
There's no cause for alarm. There's a nurse in there, but.
Speaker 6 (45:06):
She isn't doctor. We just saw her out in the hole.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
You're sure it's the same nurse. Positive, then maybe we
have to go and check it out.
Speaker 6 (45:16):
There she is, see standing there the nurses station.
Speaker 4 (45:19):
Nurse.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
Yes, doctor, I thought I asked you not to leave
the patient alone, not for any reason.
Speaker 6 (45:23):
Well, he isn't, a loan, said the two doctors. You
asked him for consultation and went in consultation.
Speaker 2 (45:28):
I didn't set up any consultation.
Speaker 6 (45:30):
They said, you did. They They practically ordered me out
of the room.
Speaker 7 (45:34):
All right, let's go, hey, Andy, can you hear me?
It's Carl, don laugh. Can see how you're doing?
Speaker 8 (45:45):
Oh you stop it? Can't you seize? No shape to talk?
Speaker 7 (45:48):
Well, then if you can't talk, shoot him, Carl, you
you take the gun.
Speaker 6 (45:53):
Car I can't, I just can't.
Speaker 8 (45:57):
Will you?
Speaker 12 (45:58):
Not?
Speaker 8 (45:58):
Right there in the temple, not quite touching there there
right there? That's it now? Now the trigger, the trigger, Carl, No, Paul,
I can't squeeze the trigger. Just a little pressure and
it doesn't take much away. Now once more, to make sure, Paul, Paul, please,
I can't sure, you can't.
Speaker 1 (46:12):
Just squeeze.
Speaker 4 (46:13):
Squeeze me before cow just squeeze.
Speaker 11 (46:17):
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (46:19):
Oh my god?
Speaker 6 (46:19):
Shoot the girl, Ralph, he's bleeding. Why is he bleeding?
Speaker 2 (46:23):
Get out of my way. Let me have a look
at you.
Speaker 8 (46:25):
What I said, Carl, shoot them?
Speaker 6 (46:27):
No more, no more, Paul, I can't.
Speaker 2 (46:33):
He's dead, shot twice through the head.
Speaker 8 (46:36):
Don't let me have the gun, Carl, give me the gun.
Speaker 11 (46:38):
No, you heard what I said.
Speaker 7 (46:40):
Give it me kill somebody, pap let me.
Speaker 6 (46:49):
Oh Paul, I didn't mean to shoot your Paul.
Speaker 8 (46:53):
It's my arm.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
Doctor.
Speaker 6 (46:56):
Will you take the gun?
Speaker 2 (46:58):
I'll take it. Nurse, get some security people in here
with you.
Speaker 7 (47:08):
Have they taken those two away, the two who shot your.
Speaker 2 (47:13):
Patient, and they're probably all booked and put away by now.
I just had a weird experience.
Speaker 7 (47:20):
M there's the only kind you've had all days, seems
to me. I just had to console two women, Missus
Hollis and Missus Kemperor, because their husbands were dead.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
Only that wasn't what I did. I found myself telling
them I was sorry about their husband. Singular one husband,
two wives, and nobody could say who the man had
actually belonged to. Yeah, said things who are aroundness in
(47:53):
a way though they were grief stricken, of course, the
two women, each thinking of her own husband as he
used to be. But as for the man I was
trying to give them with my surgery, I'm not sure
they weren't just a little bit relieved that he was
gone and the decisions wouldn't have to be made.
Speaker 7 (48:16):
You know something, Roy, I am not sure the world
is ready for the brain transplant.
Speaker 2 (48:25):
I'm not sure it ever will be.
Speaker 7 (48:35):
Perhaps we should be just as glad that the brain
transplant isn't ready for the world as things stand now.
Speaker 3 (48:43):
One more spiritual dilemma might be just that one too many.
Speaker 8 (48:48):
I'll be back in a few minutes.

from w O r News. Samuel Bronfman second calls the
(53:24):
verdict in the state Supreme Court trial of two Brooklyn
men accused of kidnapping him, quote a miscarriage of justice.
The white Plain State Supreme Court jury found the defendants,

that verdict makes him mad. Quote really mad, he said again.

system didn't work. He says he hopes the verdict will

comments on the verdict.
Speaker 14 (54:25):
I've known Samuel Bronfman all of his life. He is
a close personal friend of mine and of my families.
I saw him frequently in the months prior to his kidnapping,
during which he was employed as an intern in my
New York City Senate office. The allegations of the Lynchburn
defense attorneys concerning sam Bronfman are, in my judgment, absolutely preposterous.
(54:48):
I'm deeply shocked that a jury would accept the word
of the accused over the word of this extraordinarily fine
young man of good character. A very grave miscarriage of
justice has occurred in New York State.
