Jerry and I met in New York. We’d both been called back from California where we’d been
working. The Japanese, if you may recall, dropped some bombs on Pearl Harbor which disrupted
a number of people’s lives but which managed to bring Jerry Lawrence and I together because
we were both brought back to New York to do broadcasts about America’s participation
in the war. Jerry was writing a show called They Live Forever for CBS, and I was working
at Young & Rubicam with Roy Larsen at Time magazine on The March of Time which had been
brought to life again. It had been suspended for a while, but this was the new March of
Time, and then Jerry and I started working together, started writing.
