Almost motherly at time,whice men found attractive.Nearly everybody she interviewed tended to relax more when she spoke.That was when Kathy was at her most effective.More than one politician had cause to be sorry for a careless reply to the relaxing manner of her voice.Kathy knew better than most people how to listen to the human voice.She couldn't see all the little tricks people sometimes used with body language and the expression on their faces to give false ideasof their real feeling.She could only hear what they said.It was almost impossible for the people she interviewed to hide the tiny changes of expression in their voices that showed what they really thought.No matter how hard they tired to cover it up,she could always tell when a person was feeling uncomfortable and could usually understand the reason why. Kathy would be kind to guests who were not used to beingthe centre of attention.For example.she understood the natural shyness of and old lady who had been given a prize for her work with the poor.But if she thought a guest was lying she would not stop questioning until she had discovered the truth.If a lie had been told she always made sure her listeners knew it.Politician and businessmen often thought that somehow they could fool her.They rarely did.Kathy was too good at her job for that.Her listeners loved her.She was their star.They knew that if anyone could find out the truth,it was Kathy Page.Kathy had been in the business of radio reporting for thirty of her fifty years in the world.She was happy in her work.She had never married,thought she was often told that she was attractive.She was.Her black hair was long and shiny without a touch of gray;her fave was pretty without being weak,and the few lines whice showed made it more interesting.Many hours of yoga had kept her figure in good shap.No,she was not shortof male admirers.Occasionally she would allow one to take her to dinner if he could hold an interesting conversation,But she mostly preferred the company of her colleagues,her books and Trudy.her much loved six-year-old guide dog.She love music and arts.She regularly went to the thetre for old,as well as new,production.It was a favourite activity of hers.The only thing she ever regretted was that she could not see paintings.She had read a lot about great artists and their work and often wished that she could see a great painting,even if it were just for a short while.But then she would put away such thought;they were silly and senseless.It would never happen.Television producers had often.over the years.tried to get Kathy to present her own chat show on television.They knew she was a favourite with the public,and they wanted to attract the large audience that such a show would surely bring.Kathy always turned them down.She felt at home with the radio.It didn't matter what you looked like;it was what you said that you would be judged by.That's what she always told everybody.And besides,Kathy Page,the queen of radio interviews,was she about her apperance."She turned you down?Again?Are you sure you told her just how much money we're offering?Mick Dean, the current favourite of his television company,waved his other arm around as he held the telephone.There was nobody else in the office but she waved anyway-it was just a way of showing his feeling.He couldn't understand how anybody could turn down an offer like this.He had had similar conversation before,all about Kathy Page.ok, but don't give up.Try again in a week.Yes...bye.Mick Dean put the telephone down.He was the company's youngest producer and was responsible for money of its newest and most successful shows.He was particularly good at producing chat shows and more 'serious' shows that interviewd people in the news.He believed that a lively argument was the best way to entertain viewers;it would make more people watch the next time.'They like to see a good fight,'he would always say. 'And they like fighters.'That was why he had always wanted Kathy Page to present one of his shows.'Not only is she a good fighter,she look great,too,and people respect her.She'd be a sure winner and I want her before anybody else gets her!' Yet again his best man had failed to persuade Kathy to join him.But Mick Dean was not the kind to give up.He had not been the first producer to try to win Kathy Page over the television.but he was determined to be the last.Kathy's radio show was one of the most popular shows on the station.She would interview people in the news and deal with serious issues .As well as the usual politician and businessmen,she often spoke to artists,writers and scientists.The shows got more interesting for the listeners when Karthy questioned her guests .especailly when the guests said things that Kathy found hard to believe.That really made things exciting.It was getting to wards the end of her morning show and her final guest was coming on.He was an American scientist, Dr Woodrow Percival.who was an expect in eye surgery .He interested Karthy because he had said that he could replace damaged eye nerves with tiny computer chips that would work just as well as real nerves,perhaps even better.Kathy took a personal interest in this.He had saids,in fact,that he could make the blind see.
