...hired when the series was airing a piece on the newly-born Dionne quintuplets - Welles played all five babies. He impersonated kings and plutocrats, all the newsmakers of the period. And one new newsmaker. As he recalled for Peter Bogdanovich in "This Is Orson Welles," a kind of oral memoir: "One day they did as a news item on ?March of Time? the opening of my production of the black ?Macbeth,? and I played myself in it. And that to me was the apotheosis of my career - that I was on ?March of Time? acting AND as a news item...
Over the years, the Honoraries' mission changed from the creation of an image to its preservation. In a project underwritten by the Carnegie Corporation, veterans of the Kennedy Administration compiled a set of oral histories shortly after the President's assassination. Honoraries interviewed other Honoraries about the President they had served. For many years these interviews formed the core of the holdings available to researchers at the Kennedy Library, serving as a rose-colored resource for anyone willing to write history as the family wanted it told...

Pettit says it's clear that even the judges who were most skeptical about antitrust law turned against Microsoft when they read the record and saw how the company had done business...
...also finds ways into Ehrmann's thinking. He says that high tech is in a "medieval period," likening the information explosion brought about by the Internet to the revolutionary transfer of oral knowledge to written text by monks working in quiet surroundings. To give himself and his 90 local employees a similarly reflective environment, he is building a subterranean office - not far from the helipad...
