On a related note, the posts by "Homer B Simpson" each morning have been more enlightening that all my history profs combined. (From many years ago)

for anyone unfamiliar, this gentleman has been posting microfiche from the front section of the NYT starting with Sept 1, 1939. He has been posting it everyday since 9-1-09 and it shows the paper for the date 70 years ago.

Homer, whoever you are, thanks. My morning starts with a cup o Jo and reading your posts.

The news shows stopped commemorating Dec 7th about 20 years ago. A shame, since it was an important date for my Dad. That was his war.

It's "Homer_J_Simpson"...

All kidding aside, it is a monumental task he has undertaken and I and many other history minded Freepers appreciate it immensely.
