RADIO PROGRAM No. 66 - How You Can Have Some Peace and Quiet

HOST: Recently a number of magazines have commented on the raucous clangor of modern living. They report that for some people noise is just a nuisance; but for others it's a major problem, jangling the nerves, robbing them of sleep, shattering their serenity.

In the Saturday Review, Editor Norman Cousins said, "The noise level is rising...." He described offensive noises as "tranquility-smashers." He said that they "invade the innermost core of an individual's privacy, impeding the processes of sequential thought, breaking down the sensibilities, and unhinging the capacity for serenity."

What about this "capacity for serenity"? What can a person do to find quiet in a world so full of clamor?
