Following on Carrol's memory of the WPA, I remember, as a young boy, the daily
papers and radio accounts of the battle of Stalingrad. The US actually hung
breathless on the battle, as did I. The daily paper had illustrations, with
big arrows showing the movements of the armies. Stalingrad was big news -- and
when the outcome became clear there was great relief and celebration. In
contrast, I have no memory of the seige of Leningrad.
Further on Carrol's memory of the WPA, I remember as well the CCCs, and years
later knew guys who had benefited from the CCCs.
