Now from May 5th, 1950, here's the

Thelma Harper murder case.

Broadway's my beat,

from Times Square to Columbus Circle,

the gaudiest, the most violent,

the lonesomest mile in the world.

Oh, the lonesomest mile in the world. Broadway's My Beat, with Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover.

Thank you. Broadway, it's the neon avenue of the beggars,

the gleaming alley of the scavengers who dart and search and revel in the blaze of fury,

then gather in the gutters of night.

There they count and catalog and compare the spoils salvaged from the litter of darkness.

The materials of pain, the odds and ends of bitterness, the scraps of illusion.

And you watch them and try to move away, but you can't.

You're one of them.
