Lionel Barrymore
On the day Lionel Barrymore was born, the show honors his musical work. The program starts with a song called 'Fantasy Of Love,' which Barrymore himself wrote. Later, listeners get to hear a clip from the music used in the movie 'Camille.'
The phrase "the best of all possible worlds" was coined by the German polymath and Enlightenment philosopher Gottfried Leibniz in his 1710 work Essais de Théodicée sur la bonté de Dieu, la liberté de l'homme et l'origine du mal, more commonly known simply as the Theodicy. The claim that the actual world is the best of all possible worlds is the central argument in Leibniz's theodicy, or his attempt to solve the problem of evil.
