NO O T H E R broadcast has produced a panic comparable to the one which found several mil l ion American families all over the country gathered around their radios listening to reports of an invasion from Mars. These reports were brought to them over a national network from New York City, our greatest metropolis, where people should know what is going on. Both the form and the content of the broadcast seemed authentic. As one listener put i t " I just naturally thought i t was real. Why shouldn't I ? "
