I heard the original broadcast of “The War of the Worlds”, as a 17-year-old freshman at the University of Texas. Then, it wasn’t necessary to add “at Austin”. I was in a diner near the campus. People stopped talking, then stopped eating, as they listened. I went onto the campus and sat by the famous fountain, uneasily waiting for something ominous to show up in the sky. Nothing did. I then went to my rooming house and phoned the “American-Statesman”, asking if they had any unusual news on the wire about an event in New Jersey. A young woman told me no. Then I turned on the radio and heard the last of the program, Welles telling people that it was all a Hallowe’en prank. The next day we read of panic in the East, people fleeing, etc. The news story lasted for days.
