 Welcome back to When Radio Was. William Fitzgerald Jenkins was born in Virginia in 1896 and was a very prolific author, not only pinning stories under his preferred pseudonym of Murray Leinster, but also under his real name and some romance novels using the feminine-sounding pen name Louisa Carter Lee. This Leinster story was first published in Astounding Magazine in 1945 and adapted a few times for radio. For example, it aired on both NBC's Dimension X and its revival program X-1.
