Humphrey Bogart from the movie, “Deadline U.S.A.” 1952. Ed Hutcheson: “That's the press, baby. The press!

Ed Hutcheson played by Humphrey Bogart from the movie, “Deadline U.S.A.” 1952. Ed Hutcheson: “That's the press, baby. The press! And there's nothing you can do about it. Nothing!” @kevindayhoff #partylikeajournalist

"È la stampa, bellezza. E tu non ci puoi fare un bel niente!"

Ed Hutcheson: It's not enough anymore to give 'em just news. They want comics, contests, puzzles. They want to know how to bake a cake, win friends, and influence the future. Ergo, horoscopes, tips on the horses, interpretation of dreams so they can win on the numbers lottery. And, if they accidentally stumble on the first page... news!

On September 29, 2011, Craig Steves wrote on YouTube, “Bob Greene of the Chicago Tribune has called this the best journalism movie ever made. He is absolutely right.

If you are interested in art movies, see Citizen Kane. If you are interested in screwball comedy, check out His Girl Friday. If it's history you're after, watch All the Presidents Men. If you want to see a classic journalism movie, rent one of the multiple versions of The Front Page.

But if you want to see a movie that actually shows you what life is like inside a newsroom, how reporters work together to get a story, and how "the story" is not always about the big expose but sometimes just about getting the little details right, this is your movie.

You can also watch Ron Howard's The Paper, but it's a pale imitation of this movie.

The film brings up, a mere 53 years ago, issues that are relevant today - the tabloids versus real, factual news, and the meaning of a free press. These debates continue today, but unfortunately, it seems that the tabloid type of journalism is winning. As for a free press - our press might be freer than many, but it isn't entirely free. As anyone who lost money in the great savings and loan scandal can tell you, important stories disappear from the front pages all the time.


Bogart's strong performance is the engine that keeps this film going, and there's a nice performance by Kim Hunter as his ex-wife. Deadline USA reminds us of the good old days, when you could believe what you read in the New York Times.”

Memories of Walt Disney's Perri, a 1957 Big Golden Book

Memories of Walt Disney's Perri, a 1957 Big Golden Book

According to oral tradition “Perri,” is the first book I ever read.

Who knows? But it makes for a great story. Although, right at this moment, I cannot lay my hands on my copy of the book, I still have the book and I have quite a soft-spot for the book and the memories of reading the book. The book has been by my bedside for about 55 years and recently I endeavored to put it away in a safe place. Well, we all know how that works-out.

Perri, it seems was also a movie that was released on August 28, 1957 by Walt Disney. The movie was based on a 1938 book by Felix Salten, by the same name. Salten also earlier wrote Bambi.

The story is essentially about the life and times and adventures of the main character, Perri, is a female squirrel that braves the threats of a marten, a weasel or ferret-like fury animal, a cold winter and a forest fire. Perri falls in love with Porro and together they face various challenges and dangers of the forest, along with the beavers, rabbits and deer of “Beaver Valley.”

Curious – and to test my memory, I did a search on Perri and found this web page which has some pictures of the inside of the book. This will do for now, until I find my copy of the book…

Remembering those from Carroll County who served in the Korean War




Remembering those who served in The Forgotten War - baltimoresun.com: "By Kevin Dayhoff, 9:32 a.m. EDT, August 5, 2013


Saturday, July 27, was the 60th anniversary for what is known as National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day.

Never heard of it? You are not alone.

It was 60 years ago that, according to my 1970 edition of "A Concise History of The United States Marine Corps 1775-1969," "Finally, after two years of frustrating and often fruitless meetings with the Communist negotiators, an armistice was signed at Panmunjom, and the fighting (in Korea) ended on 27 July 1953 …""


Unlike armed conflicts of the past, there was really nothing conclusive about the end of the active hostilities.

There has never been a peace treaty. Technically, the Korean War never ended. To this day, the U.S. still maintains 28,500 troops in South Korea in an effort to maintain an uneasy peace.
Growing up in Carroll County in the 1950s, I recall very little mention of the Korean War. At the time, Carroll, like much of the country, was trying to get accustomed to a new post-World War II economy. Residents were busy with new houses, jobs and the task of raising young families that followed the six years of World War II.

Many historians refer to the Korean conflict as "The Forgotten War." I tend to refer to it as "The Inconvenient War." History has unceremoniously relegated it to a footnote wedged in between World War II and Vietnam.
