      Her stories on the Korean War are utterly incredible (and it's why she won the Pulitzer Prize). She actually got into a landing craft with US Marines at Inchon and was on the beaches when they were trying to take the city (only one other journalist, a man from Milwaukee, dared risk it with her because the risk of death was so high). Ms. Higgins said that even on the FIFTH WAVE of Marines landed, the North Koreans were still resisting and blasting at them with everything from machine guns to small arms fire (IIRC even the US officers were in disbelief about the amount of ammunition they seemed possess). After reading it, I had even higher respect for the men who landed at Normandy on D-Day, since they also had to scale up cliffs in many cases, while under similar conditions to this. Higgins was one astounding woman.

    Marguerite Higgins was a lovely young woman - she had a degree from Columbia in journalism. she covered the Korean War. not many war correspondents were women - even during Vietnam. she so unfortunately died of a rare disease having been bitten by a sand fly in Vietnam in 1965. this really makes me very saddened. whatever happens afterwards, she’s happy. :) 🧚🏻 👩🏼

    Oh my gosh, this was on a year before I was born, I am just seeing it for first time today (61+ years later) and it still had me laughing. Same question as others about Jerry Mahoney PLUS, he cost my mom $50 and a trip to Mammoth when I was on with him on Truth or Consequences with Bob Barker around 1964. Man, I didn't hear the end of it as we drove up Gower Street (after the show)-how I cost mom that stupid trip...all because she was asked would I talk or not talk if/when left alone with the damned doll [in a sound proofed room with only a couch]. She said i would cry my eyes out and the audience started laughing. Bob Barker wouldn't accept her answer. She said not talk...I cried my eyes out and was scared to death of the big dummy ;-) The consolation prize was a Hoover vacuum that eventually was worth more than the trip anyway. She still didn't forgive me! But even I can still hear the audience absolutely laughing till they cried when I broke out in tears. Poor mom!

      When Higgins was six months old, she came down with malaria. A doctor told the family to take her to a mountain resort in present-day Vietnam to recover, which she did. Decades later, Higgins returned from assignment in South Vietnam in November 1965, where Higgins contracted leishmaniasis, a disease that led to her death on January 3, 1966, aged 45, in Washington, D.C. She is interred at Arlington National Cemetery with her husband.

      That’s because electronics are very expensive when they are first introduced and as the years past, they become cheaper and cheaper. It’s a great way to figure out what are the cheaper and more expensive items on the price is right. Think how much computers used to cost 10- 15-20 years ago, and how much cheaper they are for the most amazing laptops or desktops or even your own phone. As the technology gets older and more popular the prices go down.

      For 20 plus years. Bergen was not even the best ventriloquist, but his characters personalities came to life, even on the radio. He came from vaudeville which was very popular, people in cites were vary familiar with his dummies because of this and of course pics that advertised the appearances in their towns. When he went on radio people could imagine the antics of the dummies. Strange concept for us, but made him millions.

We are far below the achievement, intelligent and standards of excellence of that era. An education received then was of a high standard and society was was much more caring and supportive.

    Remember reading that Winchell revealed many years ago of being Gay, and how it did cause him some tense moments in his life in show biz to 'keep it under wraps'...especially with his TV show being geared to a Young audience..always afraid that the Sponsors would hear of it and Cancel his show...has any one else ever heard of this? As a boy, used to watch his show regularly, and thought the Dude was rather Handsome....
