Wow. MSM reported news different back then. The stories are full of facts and sources. Quotes are attributed and it is informational almost boring. This must be what news was suppose to be. You can’t find dry factual stuff written in print as news anywhere like that anymore.

President Roosevelt’s response to Dr. Einstein

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON

October 19, 1939

My dear Professor:

I want to thank you for your recent letter and the most interesting and important enclosure.

I found this data of such import that I have convened a Board consisting of the head of the Bureau of Standards and a chosen representative of the Army and Navy to thoroughly investigate the possibilities of your suggestion regarding the element of uranium.

I am glad to say that Dr. Sachs will cooperate and work with this Committee and I feel this is the most practical and effective method of dealing with the subject.

Please accept my sincere thanks.

Dr. Albert Einstein,
Old Grove Road,
Nassau Point,
Poconic, Long Island,
New York

The Black Sea is another area where I don’t remember reading or hearing a lot about battles during WW2.
