My father started a "diary" in 1945 (more accurately, a journal, covering both family and current events), and I'm going to see if this is a decent way to publish it. Since I'm doing it as a blog, to get to the beginning of the journal, you have to go to the beginning of the blog.

2/16
U.S. Steel has signed for 18 1/2¢. 9 1/4¢ is retroactive from Jan. 1. Steel will get a $5. per ton increase. Frankenstein has resigned. Western Electric and Westinghouse strikers are defying injunctions against mass picketing. The Egyptian Premier, Mahoumd has resigned. At Neurnberg, Hans Frank is accused of guilt for 3000,000 Jewish murders. Two staff members of Stars and Stripes who were removed and branded disloyal are fighting back. Read "Focus" by Arthur Miller. The insanity of Anti-Semitism. We both read "Main Street" by S. Lewis. A terrific indictment of small town customs and morals. I also read Cyrano de Bergerac by Rostand. Beautiful poetry of the noble swashbuckling, quixotic, Cyrano.
