Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers: 80 YEARS AGO: “Orson Welles – The All American Bogeyman,” Evening Star, Oct. 31, 1938

On October 30, 1938, the radio-listening public was brought to near-hysteria by the evening broadcast narrated by 23-year old Orson Welles of an adaption of the H.G. Wells classic ‘War of the Worlds.” According to newspapers around the country the next day, the dramatization “threw the public into an uproar when listeners believed flocks of nasty little men from Mars had smashed down into the State of New Jersey and were wiping out civilization…” Police stations and newspaper offices were inundated with calls from the public and telephone switchboards overloaded, while others evacuated their homes and apartment buildings, fearing the worst.

In honor of National Popcorn Day on Jan. 19, here’s a quick rundown from 1933 of some fun ways to incorporate more grains into your diet! There’s of course the traditional style of popcorn for snacking, “popped while you wait, with a generous pour of melted butter and a big shake of salt” according to the Midland Journal (Rising Sun, MD).

Hispanic Resources: News & Events: Tomorrow!--Reading and Conversation "The Galloping Hour: French Poems by Alejandra Pizarnik"

Join us tomorrow Wednesday, March 6, 2019 at 6:00 p.m. for our reading and conversation: "The Galloping Hour: French Poems by Alejandra Pizarnik." The event will be held in the Hispanic Reading Room, located on the 2nd floor of the Thomas Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress.

About the event:

Forrest Gander and Patricio Ferrari will read their translations of Alejandra Pizarnik's French poems found in The Galloping Hour (New Directions, 2018). Never before rendered in English and unpublished during her lifetime, these French poems draw from personal life experiences and they echo readings of Pizarnik’s beloved/accursed French authors — Charles Baudelaire, Germain Nouveau, Arthur Rimbaud, and Antonin Artaud. Anna Deeny Morales will follow with a reading of her translations of Pizarnik's Diana's Tree, forthcoming this year. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Russian Jewish parents, Pizarnik is considered one of Latin America's most powerful and intense lyric poets of 20th century. A discussion will follow the reading. 

Co-sponsored by the Hispanic Division and the European Division of the Library of Congress. Presented in collaboration with the Alan Cheuse International Writing Center and George Mason University.
