The Tenth Victim

The Tenth Victim was a movie based on a story by Robert Sheckley published in the April 1953 issue of Galaxy Magazine: The Seventh Victim (there was victim inflation then ?):

And here is the episode on X-1:

But I didn't remember either the original story or the radio version.  I remembered the movie, or at least I remembered the opening:

In Milwaukee channel 4, WTMJ, showed movies in the afternoon, they were called Theater 4 or Theater at 4, something like that.  The hostess was Judy Marks, the weather lady at the station.

  I forget what time the news started but WTMJ had to cut the movies up quite a bit to get them into an hour or an hour and a half.  The Tenth Victim is a terrible movie but that ballistic brassiere is the most memorable weapon ever put on film.  At least for a 12 year old kid !  And what was WTMJ thinking ?  Not exactly appropriate fare for kids after school in 1967 (or whenever it was) !

So it begs the question: in the 21st century is it better to be good or to be remembered ?  Considering that the dystopian age may already be here, memorability is probably what most would select ?
