Dr. Joyce Brothers Beats the System
On November 15, 1955, a woman in her 20s made national news by appearing on a quiz show in a New York studio to answer a question written especially for her: “What are the ring names of the four heavyweight boxing champions whose real names are Rocco Marchegiano, Arnold Raymond Cream, Joseph Paul Zukauskas, and Noah Brusso?”
The difficulty of that question may come as a shock, especially to anyone who has had the enlightening experience of watching British quiz shows recently. A person never feels more truly American than when sitting stone-faced and silent through a British quiz show. On a counterpart American show, the contestant gets a new truck for knowing whether Brazil is in Australia . . . or not. On British shows, the contestant lists the Brazilian presidents in order, includes their spouses, names their mistresses or gigolos, also in order, and wins a five-pound note.

About Dr. Joyce Brothers on Sigma Delta Tau’s Founders’ Day
March 25, 1917 is the date on which seven female Cornell University students founded Sigma Delta Tau. Their organization was originally called Sigma Delta Phi, but when the group discovered the name belonged to another Greek-letter organization they changed the “Phi” to “Tau.”
Sigma Delta Tau’s founders are Dora Bloom (Turteltaub), Inez Dane Ross, Amy Apfel (Tishman), Regene Freund (Cohane), Marian Gerber (Greenberg), Lenore Blanche Rubinow, and Grace Srenco (Grossman). Nathan Caleb House was the Ritualist.
One of Sigma Delta Tau’s most famous members was an initiate of the Alpha Chapter. On March 27, 1944, Joyce Bauer pledged Sigma Delta Tau. She was one of five pledges that spring, according to the April 7, 1944 Cornell Bulletin. She majored in home economics and psychology, graduating with honors in 1947. She started graduate school at Columbia University and earned a
