Harmon’s Histories: How the 1919 Montana Kaimin took on William Randolph Hearst

By Jim Harmon August 24, 2019

By

We’ve all seen the tabloid headlines in the supermarket checkout aisles: “Duck Hunters Shoot Angel!” “Trump Catches Russia’s White House Spy!” The New York Post is often cited as having had one of the most memorable headlines ever, published in the 1980s: “Headless Body In Topless Bar.” None of this is new, of course.

Elementary, Dear Watson: Nobody works harder than these teachers

By Mary Sheehy MoeAugust 19, 2019

The content is common knowledge.  And how long can it take to grade a spelling test? Child’s play. Over the course of this series, I’ve been schooled.  A former colleague who ended her career providing tech support in … [Read more...] about Elementary, Dear Watson: Nobody works harder than these teachers
