Redartz: With all the craziness in our world today, most of us keep tabs on current events; via the tv news, the net, even (yes, still) the newspapers. But how about 'back then'? When you were a kid, did you pay any attention at all to the news? Did you read any of the paper aside from the comics?
When I was little, my folks always tuned in Walter Cronkite with the CBS News. Even to
was the one I turned to all through college.
A few years earlier, I (and every Saturday Morning cartoon viewer) got bits of the news from "In the News", short featurettes during commercial breaks and between shows. Those jounalistic episodes might have helped foment my later thirst for news and analysis.
How about you? Send us all a bulletin; just the facts...
