A memorable warning was issued for everyone to hear in 1965. It is heartbreaking to learn that, more than fifty years later, it has tragically come to pass. At the height of his career, Paul Harvey,
A conservative American news commentator and talk-radio pioneer, had tens of millions of listeners. His staccato accent made him one of America’s most recognizable sounds.
He was very identifiable on the radio due to his “idiosyncratic delivery of news stories with dramatic pauses, quirky intonations, and many of his standard lead-ins and sign-offs.”
Nobody could have predicted that his well-known remarks from decades ago would be prophetic, characterizing the reality of today, despite the fact that he was a highly accurate reporter.
