NOT QUITE A HEADLINE
It's amazing how many Headlibe stories
don't really have staying power where as
some "not so shocking stories" end up having
a big impact on our lives. June 29th., 1956
might be an excellent example. The news
headlines that day were all about the marriage
of actress Marylin Monroe to playwright Authur
Miller. Of course we now know their marriage
lasted only 5 years. But on that same day in
1956 in a story that didn't dominate the
headlines. President Eisenhower signed a 33
million dollar highway appropriations bill
that eventually created, among other things,
the Anthracie Expressway and the Keystone
Shortway. You know them better as Interstates
81 and 80. Part of the beginning of the Interstate
Highway system to link major cities across our
country! Now that had staying power!!! Hope
you're well and that all your NEWS is good!
