About New Jersey

Some energetic people have put together lists of unique facts about New Jersey. One of them can be found here. This comment surprised me, "In November of 1914, the New York Tribune, cooperating with Mr. Bertram Chapman Mayo (founder of Beachwood) issued an "Extra" announcing: "Subscribe to the New York Tribune and secure a lot at Beautiful Beachwood. Act at once, secure your lot in this Summer Paradise now!" This was the greatest premium offered by a newspaper - nothing equal to it was ever attempted in the United States."
Here is another similar list titled, Stupid Facts about New Jersey.

Women in Science: 1957

Each of us understands how our culture has changed, radically in some cases. For example, in 1957 few doors into engineering and science welcomed females. A recent report titled, "Women in Science: The view from 1957" can be seen here. It serves as a reminder that the opportunities for our grandchildren are much wider.

Anyone remember Mr. Wizard on T.V. back then?

On a more general note, and for nostalgia fans, here is a presentation called Take Me Back to the Fifties. You can use the pause button if needed.

Comments welcome.
