WHO CAN TELL?
WASHINGTON, UP) — What
makes young people squeal over
current television idols like Dick
Clark?
The question came up as Clark
wound up his testimony before
the House committee investigating
payola.
“What do you do?” asked
chairman Oren Harris (D-Ark).
“Is there some kind of cue?”
“It’s a very basic law of na

“Most of those who do the
squealing are girls. When you and
I can explain women, we can ex
plain why these girls squeal.”
