| The Down-Hill Side of Being a Society Girl (Collier's Magazine, 1933) The attached Collier's article was written by two post-debs of the Boston/Manhattan variety who were both products of what they called "the approval mill" of America's upper-crust. Having been run through the right schools and the right summer camps, they attended the right parties and made charming with all the right people; looking back in their 20s, they were able to see how this long-treasured practice prepared them poorly for life - tending to perpetuate the spiraling vortex of women who were educated and polite, yet unable to think. |
| Halsey at Leyte Gulf (Pageant Magazine, 1960) The Battle of Leyte Gulf (October 23 - 26, 1944) was the largest naval battle in World War II - as well as the most decisive. Given the naval weaponry that exists in the digital age, it is highly unlikely that opposing navies will ever again have need to come within visible range of one another again. This article tells the history of that battle, shedding light on a few of the important naval campaigns that came before. Written sixteen years after the events by a knowledgeable author, you will gain an understanding of the thoughts that were going through Admiral Halsey's cranium when he commanded the largest battle fleet ever assembled. Read about the Battle of Midway...

| The Battle Over History 100 Years Ago (Pathfinder Magazine, 1926) What do you know: the same arguments existed in the 1920s, too... |
| Kennedy vs. Nixon: a Cartoon (Monocle, 1961) This is a very funny cartoon that was published in a long forgotten satire magazine from the early Sixties - you'll enjoy it. |
| Desegregating the Nation's Capital (Collier's Magazine, 1953) When it became known that President Eisenhower wished to integrate Washington, D.C., cries went forth proclaiming it a Jim Crow town! Journalist Howard Whitman (1914 - 1975) found this curious, and he began investigating just how tough a time the President would have tearing down the walls of segregation in the Nation's Capital. Others had tried before Eisenhower and found no success. Whitman looked into public transportation, hospitals, theaters, restaurants, the D.C. Fire department, the Parks Department, real estate and the membership requirements of the National Press Club - an interesting read. |
| Witness on Azusa Street (LA Times, 1906) Between 1906 and 1909, the Holy Spirit had come to dwell among the people in Los Angeles. One April day, in a run-down livery stable that was converted to a church, Pastor William Seymore (1870 – 1922) broke out into tongues and so did everyone within earshot. In fact, people blocks away began to speak in tongues and witnessing to all passersby. Within no time, the walls of that "tumble-down shack on Azusa Street" were decorated with the crutches, canes and hearing horns of the recently healed. |
| 'Obamacare' in the Forties (Atlanta Journal, 1949, Newsweek Magazine, 1945, etc.) "The President wanted medical, dental and hospital care for all. Doctor's fees would be paid by a Government insurance fund, financed by a 3% payroll tax, paid 50-50 by employee and employer." (Strange that sexual reassignment surgery wasn't included...) |
| Meet Margaret Sanger (Pathfinder Magazine, 1936) "Persistence has been characteristic of Mrs. Sanger. Principally because of her long campaign, 235 birth control clinics have been made lawful in the United States.... In 1913 Mrs. Sanger started a magazine called The Women Rebel which was quickly banned by postal authorities. For some time after that she faced trouble, sometimes landing in jail and sometimes being fined." |
| Arab Population Growth as Israel is Reborn (PM Tabloid, 1945) "It is in Palestine where the Jews are building a national home, that the Arab enjoys higher standards of living and of health than anywhere in the Middle East... The Arab population of Palestine has risen from 600,000 to 1,200,00." |
| Klan Methods and Customs (Literary Digest, 1922) This article reported on the alarming growth and surprising appeal that the KKK was attaining in 1922. The unnamed journalist described numerous incidences that clearly reflected the Klan's open contempt for law throughout the country- concluding that the Klan "was beyond redemption." The article revealed that the newspaper editors who lived and worked in those regions where the Klan was most active had greater contempt for them than we otherwise might have been lead to believe. |
