[5:12] Speaker 5: Harry's not with me anymore. Harry did, and I know it,
[5:18] Speaker 5: and I know it, and I've got to think about it.
[5:27] Speaker 2: Watch her as she turns away from your emotion, tenuous
[5:30] Speaker 2: suspended dance like then a sudden twist and contortion as
[5:34] Speaker 2: the sobbing wells like something from childhood. Watch her if
[5:38] Speaker 2: she moves swiftly to the couch, throws herself onto it
[5:41] Speaker 2: and mute your sobbing and still can pilla.
[5:47] Speaker 3: And she's still then sleeps. This is the escape of

[7:41] Speaker 6: with advice, with bandages, and somebody was hurt. Couldn't figure

[12:33] Speaker 7: I'm gonna show you how a big man dies. You

[12:47] Speaker 3: You real? Small?
[13:07] Speaker 4: Broadway is My Beat, written by Morton Fine and David
[13:10] Speaker 4: Frigon and starring Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover.
[13:14] Speaker 8: How would you like to be an economist, or, better still,
[13:17] Speaker 8: an economic engineer. Let's suppose that you are one and
[13:21] Speaker 8: you're given a job. This job is to set a
[13:24] Speaker 8: town of twelve thousand people on its feet. There's a hitch,
[13:28] Speaker 8: of course, otherwise you wouldn't be asked to step in.
[13:31] Speaker 8: The problem is that the town, though it lies on
[13:34] Speaker 8: the seashore, is in an isolated tropical country. One good
[13:38] Speaker 8: thing you discover when you arrive is that just offshore
[13:41] Speaker 8: are shrimp. Here, you are sure is the beginning of
[13:44] Speaker 8: a big industry and the beginning of economic recovery. You
[13:48] Speaker 8: talk to the citizens and learn that they have a
[13:50] Speaker 8: fleet of shrimp boats, a fleet that consists of two
[13:54] Speaker 8: decrepit old boats. They had thought of exporting shrimp, but
[13:58] Speaker 8: that takes ice, and making ice takes power plants. Power
[14:02] Speaker 8: plants need water and skilled technicians. Then schools to educate
[14:07] Speaker 8: more technicians and money, more money than the town has.
[14:12] Speaker 8: This you can get, you can borrow. So what you
[14:15] Speaker 8: first decide is get the money and spend it thousands
[14:19] Speaker 8: and thousands of dollars. Then, as the whole picture crowds
[14:23] Speaker 8: in on you, you think the whole thing's impossible. But finally,
[14:28] Speaker 8: after much study, you realize that it actually can be done,
[14:32] Speaker 8: and you settle yourself to the long, long haul, thinking,
[14:36] Speaker 8: make haste but carefully.
[14:39] Speaker 3: Throughout the world.
[14:40] Speaker 8: This is what the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development,
[14:44] Speaker 8: the World Bank, is doing. It is an agency of
[14:47] Speaker 8: the United Nations, which is man's best hope for economic development,
[14:52] Speaker 8: for peace, and for justice.
[15:04] Speaker 2: The June morning is a sine on Broadway's pavements, and
[15:08] Speaker 2: the street is lustrous with the glow of chrome and
[15:10] Speaker 2: the brilliance of glass, reflecting the summer walk of women
[15:14] Speaker 2: in their morning trials, and Broadway leans against the neon
[15:17] Speaker 2: railings and times handicaps makes odds on how promises will
[15:22] Speaker 2: run later this day, when the track is faster and
[15:25] Speaker 2: the weather clearer, and the other diversions, the ones from
[15:29] Speaker 2: out of town and flowered prints, the straw bonnet woven
[15:32] Speaker 2: for big city, where veiled and tilted to the angles
[15:35] Speaker 2: safe on crowded subways, the non crushable linen, the freshly
[15:39] Speaker 2: laundered seersucker, and the white purse clutched tight held close
[15:43] Speaker 2: to the body. So make your pick, Kitty, and walk
[15:47] Speaker 2: up to the window and play it across the board.
[15:50] Speaker 2: It's June, the month of the.
[15:51] Speaker 4: Winning ticket, and at headquarters the June morning has Sergeant
[15:56] Speaker 4: Gino to tag game.
[15:57] Speaker 9: Hey, Manny, you know what but that Joe Connall, the
[16:01] Speaker 9: big boy you found shot up?
[16:03] Speaker 3: Or what a bottom you know?
[16:04] Speaker 9: Sinking fast at police hospital? Nanny still in shock, still unconscious,
[16:09] Speaker 9: Doctor Sinsky.
[16:09] Speaker 3: Don't hold out much hope. Wherever I am, Gino, you'll
[16:12] Speaker 3: let me know when I can talk to him.
[16:13] Speaker 9: It goes without saying, I've been thinking, Danny. I come
[16:17] Speaker 9: up with several items about this conne, like what he
[16:21] Speaker 9: is on the regular schedule of roused by our boys.
[16:24] Speaker 9: Our boys got the sneaking hunch this colonel is a
[16:26] Speaker 9: gun for hire, a free lance hood who works for
[16:29] Speaker 9: anyone with the price.
[16:30] Speaker 3: Well, they got something to build that on.
[16:32] Speaker 9: Two sentences for assault, root vicious now apparent motive none
[16:37] Speaker 9: that our boys could prove anyway. This gives them these
[16:41] Speaker 9: hunches and then kno what else?
[16:43] Speaker 3: What else is?
[16:44] Speaker 9: According to many previous becaus by prison psychiatrists, this conno
[16:48] Speaker 9: is in matur for such a big boy. IQ reports
[16:51] Speaker 9: a child would be scared to bring home. There's another thing,
[16:55] Speaker 9: Danny from Technical also and then.
[16:57] Speaker 3: Conno anytime you feel up to it. You know from.
[17:02] Speaker 9: Technical the report that the gun.
[17:04] Speaker 2: That killed Harry Moore also played hob with Big Joe O'Connell.
[17:07] Speaker 2: I see you get in touch with missus Moore, like
[17:10] Speaker 2: I told you.
[17:10] Speaker 9: Please hospital check me a little while ago, Danny, Missus
[17:13] Speaker 9: Moore is in the waiting room cooling the heels for you,
[17:16] Speaker 9: like at your request, I got in touch with her
[17:18] Speaker 9: to do you didn't find thanks, you know.
[17:23] Speaker 10: A hospitals brighten you need to cover sometimes other.
[17:40] Speaker 5: Times yeah, quietly flowers, But then I think what happened here? Pain,
[17:47] Speaker 5: sorrow and crying out? I know what that means. I
[17:52] Speaker 5: cry out Sometimes at night I do that, and I
[17:56] Speaker 5: sit up in my bed. No one comes to me
[17:59] Speaker 5: and comes.
[17:59] Speaker 3: To yeah, now that's your husband.
[18:02] Speaker 5: Before that, all the time, since I was small, no

[18:12] Speaker 3: want you to look at a man. I want you to.
[18:15] Speaker 5: Tell me why, why do you want me to do this?

[22:02] Speaker 5: He'd say, my little girl maybe, and the guests would

[22:25] Speaker 5: I've been sitting here all day, making phone calls, arrangements
[22:28] Speaker 5: for Harry's funeral, making out risks. When I set my
[22:32] Speaker 5: mind to do anything, anything at all, I can do it.
[22:36] Speaker 3: This is Moore. Mister Clover asked your question. I know
[22:40] Speaker 3: I did.
[22:41] Speaker 5: He asked me if I knew why you gentlemen were here.
[22:44] Speaker 5: I suppose you have your reasons you'll tell me.
[22:47] Speaker 3: One of the reasons was to tell you Joe Connell died.
[22:50] Speaker 5: But you said that You've already told.
[22:52] Speaker 3: Me that he killed your husband, and.
[22:55] Speaker 5: Now he's dead. This man, this Joe Connall.
[22:58] Speaker 3: Do you know why he killed your missus Moore?
[23:01] Speaker 11: No?
[23:01] Speaker 3: Or who told him to kill your husband? No, you're
[23:04] Speaker 3: not drunk now, so you can think clearly. Do you
[23:06] Speaker 3: know why he killed your husband?
[23:08] Speaker 4: No?
[23:12] Speaker 5: No, I don't. I don't.
[23:15] Speaker 4: You've made all the arrangements for your husband's funeral, haven't you.
[23:17] Speaker 4: I told you you haven't made him.
[23:21] Speaker 3: No, No, I don't beautifully kept apartment.
[23:24] Speaker 5: I do it all myself, and I shop and I budget.
[23:28] Speaker 5: Harry used to say, there's nobody like my little girl
[23:31] Speaker 5: to run a house. I do it all myself.
[23:33] Speaker 3: Why don't you come off with missus Moore?
[23:35] Speaker 4: Why don't you tell us about your husband, about Joe Connell.
[23:38] Speaker 3: You're a capable woman.
[23:39] Speaker 6: You're not a little girl, no more.
[23:41] Speaker 3: No more. That's right, So it's all right to tell
[23:44] Speaker 3: us about your husband and Joe Connell.
[23:47] Speaker 5: I don't know what you mean, honestly, the way you're talking.
[23:50] Speaker 3: I'm you and your husband get along.
[23:52] Speaker 5: We were man and wife.
[23:54] Speaker 3: He called your little girl all the time.
[23:57] Speaker 5: No, not for a long time. We had a big gardument.
[24:02] Speaker 5: One day he screamed.
[24:03] Speaker 3: At me, this little girl that got on his nerves.
[24:05] Speaker 5: Huh, listen, I'm me and I'm nobody else. I'll tell
[24:09] Speaker 5: you just what I told Harry Moore. I'm me and
[24:11] Speaker 5: I'm nobody else. Harry wound me, he won me, and
[24:14] Speaker 5: I'm the kind of girly marriage.
[24:19] Speaker 3: We know all about it, miss book. How your husband
[24:21] Speaker 3: searched the bowery and finally found the man he was
[24:24] Speaker 3: looking for, Joe Connell.
[24:26] Speaker 5: Harry did things, A lot of things.
[24:30] Speaker 3: He didn't have to tell me.
[24:32] Speaker 5: A man has his privacy. I know that.
[24:34] Speaker 3: Did you know he hired Joe Connell to kill you,
[24:38] Speaker 3: paid him a thousand dollars to murder you because he
[24:40] Speaker 3: was sick of you? Did you know that, missus Moore? Yeah?
[24:46] Speaker 5: One day when I was on the street, Joe got
[24:50] Speaker 5: out of a car and walked over to me. He
[24:53] Speaker 5: pointed a gun at me and told me to get
[24:54] Speaker 5: in a car. I did. By the time we got
[24:59] Speaker 5: to where we were going, Joe put away the gun.
[25:03] Speaker 5: We were laughing.
[25:04] Speaker 3: You and Connell got along. Huh.
[25:07] Speaker 5: I never meant anybody like him. He told me people
[25:11] Speaker 5: thought he was dumb, but he wasn't dumb. I knew
[25:15] Speaker 5: that right away.
[25:16] Speaker 3: He told you why he picked you up in me.
[25:19] Speaker 5: He said Harry had given him a thousand dollars. I
[25:22] Speaker 5: told Joe, I'll give him two thousand dollars not to
[25:24] Speaker 5: kill me. Joe said, all right. So when I got
[25:28] Speaker 5: the money from the back and gave it to him,
[25:31] Speaker 5: Joe wouldn't take it. We got along fine. We went
[25:37] Speaker 5: to the movie Penny Arcade. Joe wanted to take me
[25:40] Speaker 5: to Coney but I.
[25:42] Speaker 10: Said, later, after what Joe told me, he was going
[25:48] Speaker 10: to kill Harry.
[25:49] Speaker 3: After that, Joe told you that, and you didn't nothing
[25:52] Speaker 3: about it.
[25:53] Speaker 5: Harry wanted me dead. So why should I help Harry?
[25:57] Speaker 3: Tell me? Right?
[25:58] Speaker 5: Joe and I figured got out together.
[26:02] Speaker 3: How did Joe get shot?
[26:05] Speaker 5: His room? The evening after he shot Harry, he was
[26:10] Speaker 5: showing me how he did it. He said, I took
[26:13] Speaker 5: this gun and I shot him. I said, let me see.
[26:19] Speaker 5: He gave me the gun, showed me how to work
[26:21] Speaker 5: the safety catch and everything. I said, like this, and
[26:26] Speaker 5: I pointed it at him and he laughed, and I laughed.
[26:31] Speaker 5: I said, bang, and I must have pulled the trigger.
[26:36] Speaker 5: Joe stopped laughing, and he said, you'd better go home now.
[26:59] Speaker 4: Life bloom upward into the sky on Broadway, and night
[27:03] Speaker 4: bursts open.
[27:04] Speaker 3: The swarm starts.
[27:05] Speaker 2: It stands down the canyon, the streets, and the little
[27:09] Speaker 2: man stalks the heels of a drunkard. There's the place
[27:13] Speaker 2: of darning eyes, the fleeting smile, whispers, and the wind
[27:17] Speaker 2: and crowd and roar, the empty hand. It's Broadway, the gaudiest,
[27:25] Speaker 2: most violent, the lonesomest smile in the world.
[27:32] Speaker 3: Broadway my beat.
[27:48] Speaker 8: And would you like to tackle a big job, something
[27:52] Speaker 8: that would tax your muscles, your money, your brains, your imagination,
[27:57] Speaker 8: and your faith. Then try us in plant in an
[28:00] Speaker 8: underdeveloped country. You want to build one to help the country,
[28:04] Speaker 8: But it would be worthless without quarrying equipment. And this
[28:07] Speaker 8: would be worthless without a machine shop. And what does
[28:10] Speaker 8: the machine shop require power? But for power you need
[28:14] Speaker 8: transmission lines. And for all of these you need both
[28:17] Speaker 8: experts and laborers. You might be able to bring in
[28:21] Speaker 8: some experts for a time, but what happens when they leave?
[28:24] Speaker 8: Does the country have the technical schools to turn out
[28:27] Speaker 8: more experts?
[28:28] Speaker 6: In fact, what do you.
[28:29] Speaker 8: Do if your laborers are illiterate and can't read even
[28:32] Speaker 8: a bulletin board. Also, although there may be the will
[28:35] Speaker 8: to build all these things, is there the strength derived
[28:39] Speaker 8: from the proper diet. With all these obstacles, where does
[28:43] Speaker 8: it leave your cement plant. There is a way to
[28:46] Speaker 8: build this, but not with just money. It is a
[28:49] Speaker 8: matter of building the foundation of an entire economy from
[28:52] Speaker 8: the schools up throughout the world. That is what UNICS, UNESCO,
[28:57] Speaker 8: the World Bank and many other organists are trying to do.
[29:01] Speaker 3: With increasing success.
[29:03] Speaker 8: They are all agencies of the United Nations, which is
[29:06] Speaker 8: man's best hope for health, economic development, peace and justice.

[32:31] Speaker 1: month and a half.

[32:48] Speaker 11: to What do you mean, Well, that's just what he said.
[32:51] Speaker 1: He didn't.
[32:52] Speaker 3: He didn't make sense to me either, and he went on.
[32:55] Speaker 11: He told me I was operating in his destiny, said,
[32:58] Speaker 11: be okay, if I went right along the way I was,
[33:01] Speaker 11: He set other that I didn't stand any pinches.
[33:05] Speaker 3: Yes, sir, What else he said?
[33:08] Speaker 11: Well, he said he wasn't the only one who would
[33:10] Speaker 11: have to be taken care of. He said there was
[33:12] Speaker 11: his partner and then a couple of guys over him. Me,
[33:16] Speaker 11: he'd have to be taken care of too. He said
[33:18] Speaker 11: the juice would cost me one hundred bucks a week.
[33:20] Speaker 11: I tried to explain to him at that well, I
[33:23] Speaker 11: told him I wasn't operating big.
[33:25] Speaker 1: I was just on the side.
[33:26] Speaker 11: I said, I wasn't making that much a week or
[33:28] Speaker 11: but all I was learning is about fifty.
[33:30] Speaker 3: That's all just fifty. Then he said, well, he says, all.
[33:33] Speaker 11: Right, if that's if that's the way you feel about it,
[33:35] Speaker 11: I'll just take you down book you now. Well, I
[33:40] Speaker 11: told him I didn't want to stand the pinch again,
[33:42] Speaker 11: and I'd do the best I could. So he finally said,
[33:45] Speaker 11: I'll give you two weeks to go ahead and open
[33:47] Speaker 11: this thing up. He said I'd have to do more
[33:50] Speaker 11: business because the juice was just going to cost me
[33:51] Speaker 11: a hundred a week.
[33:53] Speaker 3: He didn't care how I got it.
