Paul Harvey, a well respected news anchor during World War II, started The Rest of the Story as a segment of his regular news broadcast. People liked it so much, that it eventually became its own radio series on ABC Radio, premiering in 1976. According to Wikipedia, the show "consisted of stories presented as little-known or forgotten facts on a variety of subjects with some key element of the story (usually the name of some well-known person) held back until the end. The broadcasts always concluded with a variation on the tag line, "And now you know...the rest of the story." I really appreciated his soothing tone of voice, with a very conversational affect. One particular segment, in which he's asked to give a speech at Texas A&M, in which he was quoted as saying: "and on the 8th day, God [...] created the farmer." It really stuck with me, because I grew up in a farming community. I give it 5 out of 5 scribbles.
