    Can you remember where you were when you heard Princess Diana had been killed?...etc

    Princess Di: Was online in the evening. I rarely watch news during the day and so was unaware til @10pm EDT that night. 9/11: I was in Speech class in college. I honestly thought that the feller that told us was using it as an attention getter for his speech.

    Do you believe in little green men?

    I think a bit of clarification might be in order. There might well be human beings on other planets, but they would be perfectly indistinguishable from someone on this planet.

    Les Paul Biography On PBS

    Saw the show myself... I'll say this much: while I appreciate and respect the technological innovations Les Paul brought in, Chet Atkins' playing sounds much more natural and pleasing to my ear.

    Classic Style Magazine #3

    K. T. Keller (?), the President of Chrysler in the early 1950s, insisted that he be able to get in and out of every Chrysler, Desoto, Dodge and Plymouth car with his hat on. He retired by the time the 1955s debuted, and so it began at Chrysler.
