The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) was developed during the Great Depression that occurred in the 1930s. It was a federal government program that established electricity for a seven-state area, and it bolstered the free enterprise economy of the region. World War Two followed the depression era. The TVA was a source of the extensive amount of electricity needed by Alcoa to produce the aluminum needed for the 50,000 aircraft that authorities anticipated needing for the successful conduct of the war. Additionally, the TVA was the source of...
I held the last “coffee hour” that Sen. Warren Magnuson ever held. The senator had assisted me with some of my arrangements when I made my trips to the Far East. So when one of his aides called and asked if I would hold a coffee hour during his reelection campaign, I said yes. I explained to the aide that I didn’t want to advertise the event because I was a reporter and tried to stay as far away from that kind of thing that I could. So his office promoted the evening coffee hour and said that the public could come in and meet the senat...
What is going on with Tucker Carlson? In private messages unearthed by lawsuits against Fox News, the fiery host was a fierce critic of former President Donald Trump, even as he continued to praise and defend him on television. “We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights,” Carlson wrote in one message, adding, “I truly can’t wait.” “We’re all pretending we’ve got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it’s been is too tough to digest. But come on. There really isn’t an upside to Trump,” Carlson wro...
I got an e-mail from one of my newspaper friends wondering when old toothbrushes should be switched out for new ones. Frankly, I know little about the mouth, but I once gave an oral report. And I must admit my teeth aren’t all mine, but they will be after three more payments. Several hundred years ago, a person cleaned his teeth with a quill. But if he used that same quill to write a letter with invisible ink, the next time he picked his teeth he risked becoming a ghostwriter. The invention of nylon toothbrushes in the late 1930s led to h...
