Peggy Lee – Fever
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
Edward– appreciate your selections! (They jog my memory. So much great Culture to keep track of!)
slight tangent, not to detract from the pause…
– a cursory search at the Archive, yields 7 George Gobel shows.

I believe these are different shows, than the ones from the Library of Congress collection, and they were user-submitted so the quality is lacking, but very interesting nonetheless.
(I would shill for the Archive people, big time. They have 10’s of millions of items; books, magazines, audio, video, film, etc. Unfortunately, you can not directly hot-link a player to their collection, but everything is free, available in multiple formats, and zero sign-in required, unless you want to….)
Fever? There’s an app for that – or was that a pill … ?
Laurie–
no “Pill,” until 1960!….

Wayne – har har …
I immediately shot the youtube link over to Camille Paglia at Salon
“Out with stereotypes, feminism proclaims. But stereotypes are the west’s stunning sexual personae, the vehicles of art’s assault against nature. The moment there is imagination, there is myth.”
-Camille Paglia
