Due to maintenance on <a href="http://www.loc.gov/film/hrng96la.html" rel="nofollow">the original web site</a>, the testimony documents are temporarily unavailable, so I can&#39;t be certain if the name of the lawyer was mentioned in the hearings or not… but it would be nice if he remains exposed.Leigh Lundinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921276795499571578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-12820428886109713902015-05-02T19:22:06.568-04:002015-05-02T19:22:06.568-04:00I hope that someone digs up the name of that attor...I hope that someone digs up the name of that attorney who destroyed the recordings and publishes it, so his name will go down in infamy to posterity, as a warning to those overcome by greed and shortsightedness.tharpanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-21457805225916794472014-10-19T21:01:49.510-04:002014-10-19T21:01:49.510-04:00RT, my dad did the same thing, went from Kaisers t...RT, my dad did the same thing, went from Kaisers to Studebakers. Dad got Mom a ’57 Studebaker Packard. For such a tiny thing (she had to sit on a cushion to see the road), she had a lead foot. He eventually disconnected the supercharger in a vain attempt to slow her down.<br /><br />Jan, that’s funny but not so funny, too. I agree that ‘old’ has become anathema to the current generations, in more ways than one.<br /><br />ABA, thanks. I’d just read about that.

In 2000, they launched the <i>Archive Treasure Hunt</i>, asking the public for home-made recordings of missing programmes, which proved most successful. Broadcast studios in far-flung corners of the old Empire also made contributions of copies long-forgotten in dusty cupboards.<br /><br />Read about their latest venture: <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-29643662" rel="nofollow">BBC&#39;s Genome Project offers radio and TV archive listings</a><br />A Broad Abroadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-15954786732754067572014-10-19T19:25:20.854-04:002014-10-19T19:25:20.854-04:00oh, man that makes me sick hearing about that lawy...oh, man that makes me sick hearing about that lawyer dumping all those TV shows.

My dad had a Kaiser, although I&#39;m not sure which model.

That&#39;s a darn good article and those who missed this column can catch the rerun in yours.<br /><br />Thank you, Bradley. Some time back, I attended a business seminar. One of the participants spoke out against public radio and not for the usual reasons. He argued that &#39;old music&#39; (classical) was a waste of airwaves when there was so much new music (and of course advertising) available. He wasn&#39;t merely disinterested in classical music, he opposed it. I and a couple of people spoke with him during the break, but he could not be persuaded &#39;old music&#39; had any place in modern society.<br /><br />(Bradley, did you see RT&#39;s note trying to contact you?)Leigh Lundinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921276795499571578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-48011440859721861532014-10-19T10:14:20.105-04:002014-10-19T10:14:20.105-04:00Hopefully, we are more attentive nowadays and towa...Hopefully, we are more attentive nowadays and towards the future in preserving works - created in any manner - of authors, artists, actors, musicians and others, no matter their level of notoriety for all generations to peruse and ponder over, rather than any one being the final arbitrator of their value.<br /><br />Thank you, Leigh, for this step back through another segment of our history.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-22585229505256231952014-10-19T09:39:43.363-04:002014-10-19T09:39:43.363-04:00The SleuthSayers authors have each set aside an &q...The SleuthSayers authors have each set aside an &quot;emergency&quot; column that can be run in case, for whatever reason, we miss a deadline. Mine is a short cover article that then gave a click-able address to this show. So, thanks a lot, Leigh -- when I come back in January I will be swimming without a life-line!<br /><br />Seriously, I enjoyed the three part Dumont series a lot. Thanks for digging and sharing, Leigh.<br /><br />See you all in January (at the latest).Dale Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553503281187956955noreply@blogger.com
