The Golden Age Of Radio
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Long before television was even a twinkle in the public's eye, the nation had a love affair with the radio. Bringing to life what could only be envisioned in one's imagination, radio represented much more than the ability to play music; indeed, it was the social cornerstone to entertainment, intrigue and just plain fun. The cast of characters that inhabited the anonymous musical box helped to establish an era when radio was the mainstay for every family's evening get-together; to be sure, there was hardly a person anywhere within the entire country who did not eagerly anticipate the adventures and antics of such renown personalities as Amos 'n' Andy, Studs Terkel, The Lone Ranger, Fibber McGee and Molly, George and Gracie, Jack Benny, Orson Welles, Arch Oboler, Don Ameche, along with myriad others who helped to create the golden age of radio. The writer discusses the relationship America had with the radio during its golden age. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

The Press & The President
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the involvement of the press in the lives of the presidents of the 1930's in comparison to their involvement in the life of the current president, President Clinton. The press has always been very actively interested in the lives of the presidents of the United States, but while it seems as though they may be more vicious today than they were in the 1930's, in some ways they are just as cold and cruel in their attacks. The difference may be that we are much more aware of many aspects today than the citizens of the United States years ago. In that respect it may only the subject matter has changed, with the perseverance of the press still the same. Bibliography lists many sources.
