There was abundant life before television, cell phones, internet, and even light bulbs. History was recorded in the newspapers, warts and all, before it was cleaned up and published in history books. Privacy was of much less concern so if you were slowly going mad, for example, every stage of that madness was reported in the paper. The language, the personalities, the humor, ( especially the humor) and the horror still have the power to grab us and pull us back to another time and place. Never been to San Antonio? No problem because people are people wherever they are. And there is news, some of it weird, from the fields of science, medicine, crime, critters, and more from around the US that adds depth and breadth to the local news.
