First a look at the events of the day

Then The Marriage starring Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn, originally broadcast October 4, 1953, 71 years ago, PTA 5th Grade Volunteer   Ben tries to ask questions of Pete's fifth-grade teacher. This is not as easy as it sounds. 

We follow that with Battle of the Sexes, originally broadcast October 4, 1938, 86 years ago, What are Cold Hands. Julia Sanderson (head of the women's team) and  Frank Crumit (head of the men's team) in this early quiz show. 

Then Escape, originally broadcast October 4, 1953, 71 years ago, Zero Hour.  The classic Ray Bradbury story about the game of "Invasion" and the visit of "Drill." 

Next Counterspy starring Don Maclaughlin and Mandel Kramer, originally broadcast October 4, 1949, 75 years ago, The Case Of The Sweepstakes Murder.  Frightened witnesses gasp, "Murdered by a golden sword!"

Finally, Claudia, originally broadcast October 4, 1948, 76 years ago.  Why is David coming home from the hospital?
