In a particularly clever spoof of news broadcasting, WHRB last night out-did itself, providing listeners to "All the News" with a binful of wry and witty hoax stories. Catch these, fans:
* On the Strangler: "Cambridge Police said last night that they had received several reports from people claiming to have seen the Mad Strangler. One Dr. Sigafoos said, 'I'd have recognized him anywhere. He has hands like my Uncle Ed.'"
* On the Kansas City A's: "The Kansas City A's were wiped out last night when the team was attacked by a flock of sea gulls. The birds were attracted by the A's' green and gold uniforms."
* On the weather: "The temperature tomorrow will be 70 degrees of latitude."
These items were meant to be taken in a spirit of fun. Do not be alarmed.
