This is great. I'm listening to news bulletins from December 7, 1941 as I type this. It's interesting to hear a CBS radio announcer mispronounce Oahu ("Oh-HAH-oo"). It's even interesting to hear what sort of programs were being interrupted on December 7: Dinah Shore; the New York Philharmonic; a Sherlock Holmes show. Thanks for a great link!
