Old Dog in Texas: Anxiety Central

In the early 1960’s, back when the Old Dog was just learning about Lou Angotti and Tech’s first NCAA championship, there was an unusual TV show called That Was the Week That Was. It was probably the first satirical show about the news ever aired. David Frost was the host with John Cleese and Graham...
