During the week, I was busy working during the day from 8:00- 6:00 and was also taking courses at the University, and the classes ending around 10:00PM (graduate courses were -still are, always in the late evenings). During the breaks we used to hear in CBS the news ( the booming voice of Cronkite) about Nixon denying the Watergate break in knowledge. Also present was quiet voice of Peter Rodino, the Senator chairing the impeachment hearings, and one by one the characterters like Dean appearing to testify etc.. Very dismal stuff and the country then was desperate to move away from this weekly dismal dosage of news, and “Hawaii -5-0” episode appearing towards the end of each week,was a welcome break and hence attracted huge TV audiences. The episodes then were not good, but the theme music, the sands and the beach, and the escapist plots were a good distraction. Jack Lord was then said to be heavily in to religious belief of some kind. I liked Jack Lord in his part in Dr No,working naturally.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-68400678621150491132010-10-03T09:17:16.211+01:002010-10-03T09:17:16.211+01:00I've just been listening to Deutsche Welle, lo...I've just been listening to Deutsche Welle, looking back 20 years to re-unification.They talked to school students who were now learning about the Wall as history, and who had no inner sense of two Germanies, only knowledge from books and teachers.
