Donald Frank Rose
Donald Frank Rose (June 29, 1890 – February 7, 1964) was an American newspaper columnist, lecturer, and author. Biography Early life and education Rose was born on June 29, 1890 to Frank Hodson Rose and Mary Anne Harriette Searle Rose, in Street, Somerset, England. He later observed that it was a good place to be born an Englishman, as his birthplace on Wilfred Terrace was but three miles from Glastonbury Tor. At age 14, he went to work as a clerk at a brewery in Surrey, until the time of his emigration to the United States in 1908. While working at the brewery, however, he got a foretaste of what would eventually become his long-term profession. At the age of seventeen, he entered an essay contest run by the English magazine ''The Reader.'' And for his speculations on what the world would be like in the year 2000, he won a prize of two dollars and fifty cents. The plan in going to America was that he should study to become a minister in the New Church, as his great-gra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

World War II
World War II or the Second World War, often abbreviated as WWII or WW2, was a world war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved the vast majority of the world's countries—including all of the great powers—forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers. World War II was a total war that directly involved more than 100 million personnel from more than 30 countries. The major participants in the war threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. Aircraft played a major role in the conflict, enabling the strategic bombing of population centres and deploying the only two nuclear weapons ever used in war. World War II was by far the deadliest conflict in human history; it resulted in 70 to 85 million fatalities, mostly among civilians. Tens of millions died due to genocides (including the Holocaust), starvation, ma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Philadelphia Bulletin
The ''Philadelphia Bulletin'' was a daily evening newspaper published from 1847 to 1982 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was the largest circulation newspaper in Philadelphia for 76 years and was once the largest evening newspaper in the United States. Its widely known slogan was: "In Philadelphia, nearly everybody reads ''The Bulletin''." Describing the ''Bulletin''s style, publisher William L. McLean once said: "I think the ''Bulletin'' operates on a principle which in the long run is unbeatable. This is that it enters the reader's home as a guest. Therefore, it should behave as a guest, telling the news rather than shouting it." As ''Time'' magazine later noted: "In its news columns, the ''Bulletin'' was solid if unspectacular. Local affairs were covered extensively, but politely. Muckraking was frowned upon." History 1847 to 1895 ''The Bulletin'' was first published by Alexander Cummings on April 17, 1847, as ''Cummings’ Evening Telegraphic Bulletin''.''Cummings’ E ...

Public Ledger (Philadelphia)
The ''Public Ledger'' was a daily newspaper in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, published from March 25, 1836, to January 1942. Its motto was "Virtue Liberty and Independence". For a time, it was Philadelphia's most popular newspaper, but circulation declined in the mid-1930s. It also operated a Print syndication, syndicate, the Ledger Syndicate, from 1915 until 1946. Early history Founded by William Moseley Swain, Arunah Shepherdson Abell, Arunah S. Abell, and Azariah H. Simmons, and edited by Swain, the ''Public Ledger'' was the first penny paper in Philadelphia. At that time most papers sold for five cents (equal to $ today) or more, a relatively high price which limited their appeal to the reasonably well-off. Swain and Abell drew on the success of the ''New York Herald'', one of the first penny papers and decided to use a one cent cover price to appeal to a broad audience. They mimicked the ''Herald's'' use of bold headlines to draw sales. The formula was a success and the ''Ledger' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
