comments about Paul Harvey are coming from. My family knew him, actually, my mother dated Paul in high school, Central High in Tulsa, OK. They were good friends for years after. He knew Billy Graham, Hoover, McCarthy, but they weren't buddies. The fact is, he knew everyone in politics and just about everywhere else. That's just how he was. He was a history buff and a radio entertainer. Though he was politically liberal He never made waves or pushed a position... just gave unusual revealing history lessons.

If there's something I'm missing, let me know. But Paul was about as friendly and liberal a man as I ever met.
