Paul Harvey of couse tells this story better I was trying not to give anything away But this story led me to go buy a book on this particular asassination.

It was a fun book, full of very short storys.

An outstanding resource for copywriters and storytellers.......2005-05-18

Paul Harvey is a master at condensing the essence of a story into a few short paragraphs. These transcripts of his popular syndicated radio program serve as great models for anyone looking to create intriguing little stories for business presentations and sales letters. Highly recommended.

fascinating stuff.......2001-10-03

I read this book about 15 years ago and was delighted to find it on amazon. This is a keeper, one that you can browse through over and over again. It contains stories of little known aspects of the lives of very well known people and is rather like an encyclopaedia based on People magazine. The element of surprise at the end gives a delightful twist to each story.

Hidden History.......2001-06-07

As Napoleon indicated, History is the lies upon which we've all agreed. There is no such thing as a work of history that doesn't leave some important element out. Partly that's to make history more palatable for a new generation -- who really wants to know about dentistry in the Colonial era when we're reading about George Washington and his false teeth? No matter what the reason, though, once an item is left out of history it tends to disappear permanently.

Unless Paul Harvey Jr. gets his hands on it.

Paul Harvey Jr, who writes the short vignettes for his father's radio show "The Rest of the Story," has a gift for uncovering forgotten facts. Did you know there was another Three Stooges? Did you know Jack Benny was invited to join the Marx Brothers? Did you know one of our Founding Fathers kept his wife chained in the basement because of persistent congenital madness? I hadn't known that.

This book is an incomplete collection of Harvey's vignettes for his father's show. Some are published under the name "Paul Aurendt," and if you can find them, jump on them with both feet. However, this book provides a good primer for the forgotten corners of history, and also allows you to own copies of the vignettes Harvey has made famous over the last 25 years. One can only hope that Harvey's example will inspire more historians to investigate the forgotten corners of history and find what's been otherwise forgotten. I'd buy more of these books if more of them were available.

A Simple Art.......2001-02-13

What is so memorable about Paul Harvey's stories is the impact with which one is left long after having read the peice.

His is a perspective which simultaneously realizes the innocence and the experience of the human character. A snapshot of both our potential and our pain. And it is this acceptanece, a simplistic understanding, that allows the essence of the situation to remain with the reader. Thus, initially, the reader must be trusted by the author to be capable of that understanding.

This is Harvey's talent: to assume and place before an audience not only the humanity of his subject, but also of themselves.

I literally had to cover up the ending to each story with a piece of paper, so I wouldn't jump to find out who or what the story was about. I would recommend this book to everyone.

It's like "Chicken Soup" for your head..........1998-08-23

As someone that grew up listening to Paul Harvey on the radio it was pure bliss to find his "The Rest of the Story..." vignettes compiled and published.

Betch ya can't read just one!

Light, entertaining reading where you can learn something.......2007-06-09

In the seventies, I worked construction and spent a great deal of time in a truck moving from job to job. During that travel time, the radio was always on and I heard many episodes of the Paul Harvey "The Rest of the Story" broadcasts. They were always interesting and it was a game to try to determine what the "rest of the story" punch line was going to be.
This book is a collection of many of those snippets that made up the "Rest of the Story" radio program. When reading them, I could still hear that very distinctive voice of Paul Harvey as he read through it. I enjoyed this book; it is an example of light, entertaining reading where you can actually learn something.

Always interesting.......2007-05-13

After reading other items about Paul Harvey's "The Rest of the Story" segments, it sounds as though the accuracy can be somewhat debated, but what can't be is how entertaining each story is.

It doesn't quite sound the same when I read it our loud, but then my Paul Harvey impression isn't top notch. Just reading it though makes one think back in time a bit, and helps to put some humanity to people who were otherwise larger than life.

If you're at all a fan of his radio show (which is still excellent), get this book and value it as a treasured part of your personal library, and as a link to a past way of telling stories.

Good stuff!

Historical tidbits presented in dramatic fashion.......2005-09-06

I remember listening to Paul Harvey's "Rest of the Story" radio bits in the seventies. They were always entertaining and a frequent topic of discussion among the members of the construction crew that I was the foreman of. When one came on the radio, we competed to determine what the "rest of the story" would be. While we would occasionally get one right, the vast majority of the time we were nowhere close.
There are 101 entries in this book and I found all of them well worth reading. Once I started, I could not put it down, finishing it in one sitting. It is one of those rare books, easy, entertaining and educational.
