65 Years Ago Today Martians Invaded
Before we jump into today's regularly scheduled Campus Press Notes, I'd like to note that it was 65 years ago today, on October 30, 1938, that Orson Welles's radio play adaption of HG Wells's War of the Worlds caused a nation-wide panic.
I suggest doing what I doing: Sitting back, turning on your tape, record player, mp3 player, whatever, and with a cup of hot chocolate in hand, listen to Orson Welles tell the tale of how Earth was invaded one night by beings from another world.
Just listen:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt our program of dance music to bring you a special bulletin from the Intercontinental Radio News...."
MORE: A Crimson columnist writes about it.
