Editors,
Glancing through the newsletter of a local hospital, I was caught up
short by a filler piece. It was titled "Did You Know . . ." and went
on with "What a difference a century makes! Going back 100 years to
1904, here are some interesting facts:" From there, it listed things
like only 14% of homes in the US had a bathtub, only 8% had
telephones, and so on. But the bullet that really caught my eye was:
"Crossword puzzles, canned bear, and iced tea hadn't been invented"!
