July 3, 1938

Above, a panel from "Buck Rogers."

he editors of the Daily Mirror have several sayings: "We cannot forget the past, but also we cannot live there," "Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but not their own facts," and my new favorite saying: "Don't store fireworks in the oven." Then again, when was the last time you lit your kitchen stove (apparently a wood-burning stove at that) with a match? Presumably Mrs. Cote had decided that July was too warm for baking, so the oven was taking a little summer vacation. Email me
