3/13-THE AGING COLUMNIST TOLD HIS NEW YOUNG BOSS WHY HE NEVER TOOK VACATIONS. "NUMBER ONE," HE EXPLAINED, "IT MIGHT HURT THE PAPER. NUMBER TWO, IT MIGHT NOT HURT THE PAPER."

Barry believes some interview shows would be better without the interviewer.  He points out that once upon a time NBC-TV lost its audio link to a Wimbleton tennis championship in England and all it could show was the video.  And so they did; and thousands of tennis fans wrote and called the network to CONGRATULATE them on their new style of broadcasting tennis.  Putting that theory into action, Sara has the evening off and Barry has chosen professor-writer-scientist-inventor ADRIAN VANCE to demonstrate how rewarding it can be when the right guest is free to choose his own flight path and soar.  Barry will be on hand to introduce segments, ask a follow-up question now and then and get Adrian a glass of water if he needs it.
