Did you know?
In 1938, in the year that Vincent Montello was born, on October 30th, a Sunday, The Mercury Theatre on the Air broadcast Orson Welles' special Halloween show The War of the World's. A clever take on H.G. Wells' novel, the show began with simulated "breaking news" of an invasion by Martians. Because of the realistic nature of the "news," there was a public outcry the next day, calling for regulation by the FCC. Although the current story is that many were fooled and panicked, in reality very few people were fooled. But the show made Orson Welles' career.
Did you know?
In 1945, when he was merely 7 years old, on February 19th, US Marines landed on the island of Iwo Jima and the Battle of Iwo Jima began. Lasting 5 weeks, it was some of the bloodiest and fiercest fighting in the Pacific theater during World War II. The occupying Japanese forces were heavily armed and there were 21,000 Japanese soldiers on the island at the beginning of the battle. Only 216 Japanese soldiers were captured afterwards - the rest had been killed in action or committed suicide. 6,800 American soldiers died but the Americans took control of the island.

The McCarthy Era - The Red Scare of the 1950's
Attacking political opponents with unfair or unsubstantiated accusations is nothing new. Today's "fake news" may be more widespread but it is an old tactic - inuendo, making up stories, name calling, and accusing the press were part of the political tactics of Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy in 1950. Then, it was the "red scare" - McCarthy accused the State Department, President Truman's administration, the U.S. Army, and Hollywood of harboring U.S. citizens who were "Communist sympathizers." He also hunted down homosexuals while his own closest advisor was gay. Some of the accused committed suicide - thousands were blacklisted and could not find work. You may be surprised at the people who helped him ruin the lives of others (including a future President) but it was a courageous and respected journalist who called him out. Watch and listen to this video of Edward R. Murrow, in 1954, before McCarthy was censured - it resonates as well today as it did then. It is a powerful call to reason and justice.
