To be perfectly honest—and that's a terribly important thing around here, in case you hadn't noticed—there's not a whole lot to report on in Chicagoland today. We push on, nevertheless, and find some tidbits worth knowing. For instance, I'm the Law, a first-run syndicated police show on WBBM starring movie tough-guy George Raft (who, at least in the handful of episodes I've seen, is remarkably wooden) and is produced by Lou Costello and his brother, Pat. You can see Lou and his partner, Bud Abbott, in the morning on WBBM. Meanwhile, WNBQ has NBC's Canadian Football coverage, with one of two games from the Interprovincial Rugby Football Union (the Eastern Conference for short), and WGN has a White Sox game. WBKB has the science fiction serial Rocky Jones, Space Ranger, and, perhaps surprisingly, you'll soon be reading about that as one of the shows I've been watching. And then, of course, there's the Miss America pageant, so I guess there is something important after all.
