It happened the day before Halloween, on Oct. 30, 1938, when millions of Americans tuned in to a popular radio program that featured plays directed by, and often starring, Orson Welles. The performance that evening was an adaptation of the science fiction novel The War of the Worlds, about a Martian invasion of the earth. But in adapting the book for a radio play, Welles made an important change: under his direction the play was written and performed so it would sound like a news broadcast about an invasion from Mars, a technique that, presumably, was intended to heighten the dramatic effect. Since the new version is going to be released this month, I wonder how many people have connected the fact that this might just be a couple of news people lined up to make the movie all that much more appealing? http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/waroftheworlds/ > >From: "ShadoeCache" > >Reply-To: listserv@azgeocaching.com > >To: > >Subject: Re: [Az-Geocaching] Is this for real? > >Date: Sun, 5 Jun 2005 20:03:37 -0700 > > > > >It appears that Prophet Yahweh is milking his 15 minutes of fame for all he > can get.
