Long time radio personality, newscaster. Been around forever. See the above link. Well respected, not the over rated , full of you-know-what type so often on the air. He would start talking about a news item, get to a certain point, cut away for a moment , then come back to flesh out the story opening with " ... And now for the rest of the Story ".

Obviously our non-American forum members won't know about him, but between him and George Putnam's passing a couple years ago - there goes a era of good-old-American news commentators.

Half-mast on the flag for me.

You hear these guys on the radio, and you don't associate an age with them.

I clearly remember listening to him on the car radio as a kid. I used to get annoyed when Dad would make everyone be quiet for Paul Harvey's commentary. Only, as I got older, I did the same things with my kids!

Regards,
Feltan

Status: offline 		In the 60's I went to a small college in a small town in Il. Paul Harvey was a popular person and I probably heard him every day while there. Paul was very astute at the use of words. Our speech class examined some of his commentary and then read the rest of the story from newspapers etc. Paul did tell the truth, however, he would sometimes leave out some of the truth to slant the story. Since that class, I have always been careful not to pass judgment on some news until I hear all the news for a particular story.

Since he has been broadcasting since 1951 - it would be a heckuva compilation!

True, but his one man broadcast "News and Comment" (sort of a precursor to TROTS) went back to 1951... he actually started his broadcast career in 1933 (while still in high school).
