    Dorothy's father lived until aged 94 & her sister 95. Ms. Kilgallen's life was cut down half way through. We were all robbed of such a talented journalist. She stood out when her views differed from others around her, she was undeterred, relentless & right.

    “Her father, the husband of her mother . . . “ What kind of wording is this supposed to be? Though I suppose it goes with the rest of this. Weird.

    Her father gave her a typewriter in 1919 and said she’d be on a broadcast television show even though television wouldn’t be in homes for another 40 years?

      My thought as well. Although, admittedly, 1930's Germany utilized CRT screens for video calling, but not for home use. Not sure about the time frame when the word 'television' came into use.

      Television was invented in a garage in Berkeley, CA by Philo T. Farnsworth in 1927. It did not get broadcast into homes in the U.S. until 1947.

    born in the sad end of a Graf Zeppelin? wha? She did not write her book at the age of 7. In 1918 her dad tells her she'll be on television and then go interview a suspect of a crime not yet committed? Is this a weird attempt at slam poetry? Horrid "music". Are you one of those who considers the 1950s simply fodder for pop art? Do people pay you for this activity?

      For the Bill Bixby print mentioned at the end of the video, omit the 'The' that they mistakenly put in the title. Its title was just 'Slow Return.'

    • @monochrome44
      @monochrome44  Рік тому +1

      I will look into that. My vague recollection is that I found the reference to the Bixby print in a contemporaneous report on the print series and I quoted what was in the article. However, it's possible that the article or my transcription introduced an error. Today I found an auction site posting from 2017 listing the Bixby print as Slow Return, no definite article preceding. So, the "the" may indeed be a less than meticulous person's add-on. A vintage newspaper search is yielding no results on Bixby art or the G.E. Celebrity Art Print series.

      Fred Flintstone had a television. Fred Flintstone operated a dinosaur at his job at the quarry. Dinosaurs are sixty-six million years old. Therefore televisions are sixty-six million years old. The logic is airtight. And it is back up by science and the research team at Hanna-Barbera.

      To clarify: "convicted" was used in reference to Jack Ruby, not Oswald. I concede that Oswald was a mere assassin and not a "murderer", however I was unable to resist the use of the outlandish phrase "murderer, murderer" when the possibility occurred to me. I confess that the verbiage is more inclined to poetry than relaying accurate results of research. Jeezes or Geezer? Je-Sus or Gee-gaw? Cole Slaw or Colonel Sanders? Oz-wald or Ru-bee? The World May Never Know.
