perhaps best known as the host/moderator of the Top 10 radio show,
Information Please (1938-1952). The program, on which listeners
called in questions to a panel of "experts", eventually attracted an audience
of nine million and inspired the Information Please Almanac,
first published in 1947. Fadiman was also the book editor for "The New
Yorker" from 1933-1943 and won acclaim for his anthologies of classic
literature, including A World Treasury of Children's Literature
(1985),and his condensation of the Encyclopedia
Britannica into the 700-page Treasury of the Encyclopedia
Britannica. Ralph Errington Ward (1926-2009) a fighter pilot and

become President and CEO of Cheseborough-Ponds, Inc., transforming the cosmetics
