This story was published in Radio Recall, the journal of the Metropolitan Washington Old-Time Radio Club, published six times per year.
Click here to return to the index of selected articles.
Did you know that the kindly sleuth who graced the nation's airwaves for 18 years was named Westrel Keen? On the air, he never had a first name—it was always just "Mr. Keen," or "Boss." That's only one of the facts you'll learn by reading Jim Cox's latest book on OTR.
Mr. Keen was the product of the imagination of Robert W. Chambers, and was the subject of a novel published in 1906, entitled "The Tracer of Lost Persons." In the original book, Mr. Keen was primarily involved in romantic matchmaking, and never the life-threatening intrigue that made the later radio program so popular with millions of listeners.
The radio version was one of the huge stable of successes aired by the driving entrepreneurship of Frank and Anne Hummert, who brought so many of radio's major programs to listeners for well over 20 years.
Many of the Mr. Keen scripts were written by Lawrence M. Klee, and today, 618 of his scripts still exist. On some 1300 episodes of Mr. Keen (1937-1950), the title role was played by William Bennett Kilpack. Philip N. Clarke took over the role when Kilpack left the show.
The program first aired at 7:15 pm on the NBC Blue Network on Tuesday, October 12, 1937, with "The Case of the Girl Who Couldn't Be Found." The last episode, "The Case of Murder and the Broken Promise," was aired by CBS on Monday, September 26, 1955.
In the first six years, Mr. Keen was an engaging personality, compared to the all-business private eye he would become. His persona and success in solving cases led to huge amounts of fan mail, asking him to find real life missing persons.
For the first few years of Mr. Keen's radio series, Ben Grauer was the announcer. In those years, Mr. Keen truly concentrated on finding lost persons in melodramatic plots. Beginning in 1943, the emphasis began to change to darker themes, and Mr. Keen began to pursue killers.
The theme music for Mr. Keen was one of the most identifiable in radio—Noel Coward's haunting "Someday I'll Find You," which was used for all but a few years when Chopin's "Fantasie Impromtu" (I'm Always Chasing Rainbows") was substituted. Mr. Keen is always linked to his not-too-bright Irish stereotypical sidekick, Mike Clancy, given to saying things like "Saints preserve us, boss, you don't mean…." While never contributing much to the solving of a case, Mike's role was to make Mr. Keen's intellect shine; basically, a more simplistic version of Sherlock Holmes' Doctor Watson. It worked.
The show was consistently popular. But its format led to some hilarious takeoffs. The best of these was Bob & Ray's "Mr. Trace, Keener Than Most Persons," with Mr. Trace's sidekick Spike even more bumbling than the original, as they dealt with such epics as "The Case of the Poisoned Jelly Doughnut."
While this book is 396 pages long, prospective readers should know that the actual meat of the book runs only from page 7 to page 76. The rest is an exhaustive guide to every episode, listing time, network, director, writer, editor, announcer, sponsors, and a brief story line.
To me, the most valuable parts are the first few chapters, which trace the development of the private investigator into one of radio's key genre, and backed up by statistics that show how profitable these shows were compared to music, comedy, and classical music programs.
Like all his previous books, Jim Cox has done a great job of research, and his writing is excellent. But this is a book that will appeal only to hardcore fans of Mr. Keen. That said, it is a fine profile of one of the most enduring shows of the classic period of radio.

What courses will the VA pay for?
The VA does not pay for courses which are not prerequisites or required in students' degree programs. Students are responsible for ensuring that the courses apply toward their degrees. If they are not sure, they should consult with their academic advisors. If students wish to take courses that are not required, we will certify only the required courses and report a change in status affecting only those courses.
Does VA pay for repeated courses?
VA will pay for repeated courses as long as they are required and the grades previously earned do not meet degree requirements. Enrolling again in a course from which a student withdrew is not considered a repeated course. If a student declares academic bankruptcy, the VA does not pay for repeated courses unless the student earned an unsatisfactory grade the first time the student attempted the course.
Does the VA pay for remedial or refresher courses?
The VA will pay for a remedial course if the student has a deficiency in the subject. The VA will not pay for refresher courses.
What happens when a student withdraws from a course or resigns?
If the withdrawal changes the student's enrollment status, the VA will reduce the student's rate of pay. If the withdrawal occurs during the drop/add period, as defined by the VA, an adjustment is made on the rate of pay. If the withdrawal occurs after the drop/add period, the reduction may create an overpayment, unless there are mitigating circumstances. If there are mitigating circumstances, the student must submit a "Statement in Support of Claim" to the VA. The statement needs to include the VA file number. If the VA does not approve the claim, the overpayment is applied retroactively to the beginning of the semester. The only exception is the "one-time up to six-hour exclusion" which does not require mitigating circumstances.
What happens when a student is deployed?
If students are deployed, they should contact the Office of Veterans Affairs immediately and, if possible, provide copies of their orders. If resignations or changes of status occur for this reason, the VA will not charge students with overpayments, provided they submit documentation. Students must contact their deans' offices to initiate resignations. Students who were deployed for Operations Enduring Freedom and Noble Eagle were given 100 percent refunds of tuition and most fees. A copy of the University policy on military deployment is available in the Office of Veterans Affairs. Students who resign because they are deployed need to re-apply for admission, if they are not enrolled for a regular semester. The application fee is waived with proper documentation of the deployment.
What are the VA monthly pay rates?
Current monthly rates for education benefits can be found on the VA website (www.gibill.va.gov/education/benefits.htm).
How does the VA pay monthly benefits?
With the exception of advance pay, the VA pays at the end of each benefit month. Students receiving Chapter 30 and 1606 benefits are required to "verify" their enrollment status on or after the last day of the month. Students may verify by calling the toll-free number (1-877-823-2378) or by accessing the VA website (
Upon verification, the VA will process the payment and send it to the student either by mail or direct deposit. It is highly recommended that students elect the direct deposit option to eliminate lost or stolen checks. In addition, students using direct deposit receive benefits in four or five working days as opposed to seven to ten days by mail.
Chapter 35 does not yet have the direct deposit option.
How do I know if I qualify for VA educational benefits?If you believe that you may be eligible for any of the above VA education benefits, you can visit the VA website (www.va.gov) and click on any of the topics about which you are interested. If you need to submit a form to the Office of Veterans Affair or the VA, click on the "forms" button. Some forms are also available on this website and in Office of Veterans Affairs.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones isn't waiting for the NFL and its players association to come to an agreement on a policy regarding whether players must stand at attention during the national anthem. He already has decided what his team will do.
"Our policy is you stand during the anthem, toe on the line," Jones said Wednesday in a news conference.
Jones said the Cowboys also will not tolerate players remaining in the locker room during the anthem instead of standing on the field.
The NFL owners had agreed to a policy in May that said that if players weren't going to stand for the anthem, they needed to stay in the locker room until just before the game. The NFL rescinded that policy last week after the players union filed a grievance and said it could take legal action. The two sides are in negotiations.
The issue about players standing for the national anthem arose during the 2016 preseason, when former San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick first sat, then took a knee, during the anthem to protest what he viewed as racial inequality and police brutality. Since then, a number of NFL players have joined in the protest.
The issue has escalated, in part, because of President Donald Trump's vocal opposition of players who protest during the anthem. On Friday, he called via Twitter for players to be forced to sit out the game if they fail to stand for the anthem. If they do it a second time, players should be suspended without pay for the season, Trump wrote.

Main research interests
The aim of the Molecular Spectroscopy Department is to elucidate how molecules 'wiggle and jiggle' at interfaces: i. e. to reveal the dynamics of molecules and intermolecular interactions at interfaces, as well as transport of molecules and charge across those interfaces. This is of fundamental interest, but also highly relevant for biophysics (e. g. water, lipids and proteins at membrane interfaces) and energy conversion (e. g. photocatalytic water splitting at interfaces and charge carrier dynamics across semi-conductor nanostructures).
A brief summary of our research activities:
Elucidating the structure and dynamics of interfacial water.
Water interfaces provide the platform for many important biological, chemical, and physical processes. The interface of water with other materials is ubiquitous, and important for areas as diverse as catalysis, biology, geochemistry, electrochemistry and atmospheric chemistry. Unveiling the microscopic (<1 nm) structure and dynamics of interfacial water is essential for understanding the processes occurring at these various aqueous interfaces. At the interface, the network of very strong intermolecular interactions, hydrogen-bonds, is interrupted and the water is affected by the interface. A central question regarding water at interfaces is the extent to which the structure and dynamics of water molecules are influenced by the interruption of the hydrogen-bonded network and thus differ from those of bulk water. We study interfacial water using advanced laser-based, surface-specific vibrational spectroscopies, that allows for new insights into these important systems.
Vibrational spectroscopy and microscopy on model membranes and proteins at interfaces.
Membranes constitute the highly active partition between living cells and the outside world. They regulate molecular transport, cell adhesion and intercellular signaling. A detailed understanding - and control - of the many biological processes that occur at the membrane surface, such as viral infection and targeted drug delivery, requires insights at the molecular level. Recent developments in experimental techniques have opened avenues for the study of intermolecular interactions and chemical processes at surfaces and interfaces with unprecedented time and spatial resolution, without the need for (fluorescent) labels. We employ Sum Frequency Generation (SFG) and Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) microscopy to address important issues in biological (model) membranes. We investigate, for instance, the structure and dynamics of membrane-bound water, and the interplay of water, lipids and membrane proteins required for membrane function.
Charge carrier dynamics in materials relevant for photovoltaics.
It is challenging to characterize charge carrier movement in semiconductor nanostructures, partly because of the complications of attaching contacts to the sample. Moreover, conductivity measurements at low frequencies are inherently limited in the information content. These drawbacks can be circumvented using freely propagating THz pulses. The rapidly varying electric field contained in these pulses with durations of ~1 picosecond allows for the investigation of key electronic properties of materials such as the electron mean-free path, exciton properties and confinement effects in nanostructured materials. Furthermore, the high time resolution of this technique allows the study of dynamic processes and/or systems far from equilibrium using a pump-probe experimental approach. Using THz spectroscopy, we investigate charge dynamics in building blocks for solar cells: graphene-based materials, conjugated polymers, nanostructured semi-conductors.

The legal fight over President Donald J. Trump's ban on travelers from seven predominantly Muslim nations is on hold after the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refused to reinstate the order, unanimously rejecting the administration's claim of presidential authority, questioning its motives and concluding that the order was unlikely to survive legal challenges.
In a rebuke to the Trump administration on Feb. 9, the three federal appellate judges sided with the states of Washington and Minnesota on nearly every matter, opening the possibility that the case could shift to the U.S. Supreme Court.
In a tweet on Feb. 10, Mr. Trump called the decision disgraceful. Mr. Trump quoted an article by Benjamin Wittes, editor-in-chief of the Lawfare blog. It reads, "Remarkably, in the entire opinion, the panel did not bother even to cite this (the) statute." Mr. Trump tweeted, "A disgraceful decision!"
Moments after the ruling, Mr. Trump tweeted, "SEE YOU IN COURT," adding that "THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!"
While the ban is on hold, refugees and people from seven majority-Muslim nations identified in the president's Jan. 27 executive order can continue traveling to the United States.
But it is unclear what Mr. Trump's next move will be. The Justice Department said it is reviewing the decision and considering its options. It was the first day on the job for new Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
The lower court action so far is temporary and hasn't resolved broader questions about the legality of Mr. Trump's order. While the ban is on hold, refugees and people from seven majority-Muslim nations identified in the president's Jan. 27 executive order can continue traveling to the United States.
The appellate judges noted compelling public interests on both sides.
"On the one hand, the public has a powerful interest in national security and in the ability of an elected president to enact policies. And on the other, the public also has an interest in free flow of travel, in avoiding separation of families, and in freedom from discrimination."
The administration could appeal the ruling to a larger 9th Circuit panel or bypass that step and go straight to the U.S. Supreme Court. That could put the decision over whether to keep the temporary restraining order suspending the ban in the hands of a divided court that has a vacancy. Mr. Trump's nominee, Neil Gorsuch, cannot be confirmed in time to take part in any consideration of the ban, which would expire in 90 days unless it is changed.
The ban also faces dozens of other lawsuits, some filed by would-be refugees directly affected by it.
"We remain steadfast in our commitment to resettling refugees and all those fleeing persecution," said Bishop Joe S. Vasquez of Austin, Texas.
The chairman of the U.S. bishops' Committee on Migration welcomed the ruling in a statement on Feb. 10. "We respect the rule of law and the American judicial process. We remain steadfast in our commitment to resettling refugees and all those fleeing persecution," said Bishop Joe S. Vasquez of Austin, Texas.
"At this time we remain particularly dedicated to ensuring that affected refugee and immigrant families are not separated and that they continue to be welcomed in our country," the statement said.
The bishop pledged that church agencies would continue to welcome people "as it is a vital part of our Catholic faith and an enduring element of our American values and traditions."
Stephen Vladeck, a professor at the University of Texas School of Law, said two footnotes near the end of the opinion struck him as most significant because they challenged the government's assertion that national security was at stake. Without evidence of the threat migrants would pose to security, the court couldn't balance that assertion against harm they would suffer if not allowed to enter the country.
"It's not enough for the president to simply proclaim that the executive order is necessary to protect national security," Mr. Vladeck said, paraphrasing the ruling. "He needs to give us at least some basis for agreeing with him."
The 9th Circuit judges rejected the administration's argument that courts did not have the authority to review the president's immigration and national security decisions. They said the administration failed to show that the order met constitutional requirements to provide notice or a hearing before restricting travel. And they said the administration presented no evidence that any foreigner from the seven countries was responsible for a terrorist attack in the U.S.
"Despite the district court's and our own repeated invitations to explain the urgent need for the Executive Order to be placed immediately into effect, the Government submitted no evidence to rebut the States' argument that the district court's order merely returned the nation temporarily to the position it has occupied for many previous years," the panel wrote.
Last week, U.S. District Judge James Robart in Seattle issued a temporary restraining order halting the ban after Washington state and Minnesota sued. The ban temporarily suspended the nation's refugee program and immigration from countries that have raised terrorism concerns.
Asked to respond to Mr. Trump's tweet, Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson said, "We have seen him in court twice and we're two for two, that's number one. And in my view, the future of the constitution is at stake."
Justice Department lawyers appealed to the 9th Circuit after Mr. Robart's ruling, arguing that the president has the constitutional power to restrict entry to the United States and that the courts cannot second-guess his determination that such a step was needed to prevent terrorism.
The states said Mr. Trump's travel ban harmed individuals, businesses and universities. Citing Mr. Trump's campaign promise to stop Muslims from entering the United States, they said the ban unconstitutionally blocked entry to people based on religion.
The appeals court sided with the administration on just one issue. The states had argued that 9th Circuit precedent prohibits review of temporary restraining orders. The panel said that the intense public interest and uncertainty over how long the court case might take made it appropriate for the court to consider the federal government's appeal.
Jessica Levinson, a professor at Loyola Law School, said the ruling was thoughtful and supported by a great deal of legal precedent. More important, though, it was unanimous even though the panel included judges appointed by Democratic and Republican presidents.
"It's a very important message that judges are not just politicians in robes and not just political hacks," Ms. Levinson said.
After the ban was put on hold, the State Department quickly said people from the seven countries—Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen—with valid visas could travel to the United States.

lawyers will always gladly disagree in newspapers etc on matters of great public interest and scrutiny if only to get a bit of publicity. Generally these lawyers are "volunteers" and have not even been solicited for their thoughts.
I believe you will find that most of the preeminent commentators (see Alan Dershowitz, Jonathan Turley, et al ) find the subject 9th circuit court opinion to be "political" and not constitutional.
Contrary to Ms Levinson view, the long history of the 9th Circuit is "political" ..."policy driven" with the highest historic annual reversal rate of any Circuit by the Supreme Court.
This decision simply amplifies that reputation whereas Ms Levinson seems to think it refutes it. The 9th Circuit has always been famous in legal circles for its endless political positions and posturing. This decision was expected and wasn't the slightest bit surprising.
This case was brought by the collection of Attorneys General in the State of Washington precisely to have it before the 9th Circuit because of its well known policy rather than legal basis for its decisions.
Having read the "due process " portions of the 9th Circuit Decision, it would seem that President Obama violated the "due process rights" of Cuban refugees, etc who sought or would like to take advantage of the "historic wet foot- dry foot rule" when he unilaterally revoked the rule without notice or articulated basis for revocation.
It is certainly analogous to any alleged lack of "due process" in the case of the Trump/Seven Middle Eastern States.
Immigration laws and rules are intrinsicly exclusionary and preferential.....I mean quotas regulating both numbers and areas of permitted immigration per annum. In the long history of these laws no one has ever asserted in court or otherwise that this is unlawful discrimination which constitutes the violation of the rights of non included persons.. The 9th Circuit ruling is genuinely a"first" without precedent in any recognized jurisprudence.
