You never know what you'll see on the trail!

Hannah Arendt was born OTD 1906.

“The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth and truth be defamed as a lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world … is being destroyed.”

Kefauver loves kids, and they love him back!

A young boy says hello to Kefauver during a dinner event in Harrisburg, PA in June 1952. The gentleman on the left is Guy Bard, who was the Democratic nominee for the Senate that year. (He lost to incumbent Ed Martin.)
