Most of those photos were shot for publication in newspapers, which were printed in black and white.

I started journalism school in 1974. This photo was undoubtedly shot for a newspaper, and even today, newspaper photos are almost all black-and-white. Magazine photos were more likely to be in color.

Just like the scenes in the 1960 version of Where the Boys Are. Good movie.

Reply to comment by lmaliw in What do you do with photos that you don’t know who people are? More information in comments. 1940? by cosplayernerdgirl
I agree. My dad's half-sister got married in the early '20s, and this looks very much like her wedding photo.
Edit: Also note the groom's high collar. Nobody wore those in the '40s.

Reply to comment by taste_the_equation in What was a weak episode of one of your favorite TV Shows? by Calm-Hovercraft9858
They also did that for the last episode of "Leave It to Beaver" in 1963. Ward and June and the boys go through a family photo album recalling incidents from the boys' childhood. Not only was it boring, but it didn't make sense, because no one was on hand taking pictures when those incidents occurred.

I loved "Northern Exposure," but I cannot bear to re-watch the episode where Shelley Tambo wakes up one morning and sings everything instead of talking. It was so cringey. I don't know how Cynthia Geary or the other actors got through it.

That's what she wrote in her first memoir, All But My Life.

At the time of her rescue, she felt less than human, having been taught by the Nazis that Jews were vermin. She was emaciated and filthy and covered in lice when Kurt Klein held out his hand to help her into his Jeep, treating her like a lady. She thought she had to be honest with him, so she said, "I am a Jew."
He said, "So am I."

It's hilarious. I had watched it several times on TV and then got to see it on the big screen a couple of years back. The theater was packed -- literally no seats left.

My dad was a WWII veteran, and I remember he was furious in the '70s when there was a news story about a VFW post (I can't remember where it was located) that turned away a Black veteran, telling him there were posts for people "on his side of town" -- or words to that effect. Dad wanted that post shut down.

*Twenty years* after the Tuskegee airmen came home, Colin Powell did *two* tours of duty in Vietnam. When he returned to the States and tried to order a hamburger at a restaurant in the South, he was advised to go to the take-out window around back.

She is mentally ill, and "Dr." Phil featured her on his show to exploit that fact for ratings.

Reply to "Robotic surgery is a game changer for minimally invasive surgery" - More and more surgeons are using robotic surgical systems. Here’s why. 🤖 by tonymmorley
The main problem is that there is a sharp learning curve for surgeons who are transitioning from open to robot-assisted surgery. Any hospital with an extra million bucks can buy a robot, but the surgeon has to be competent, and that takes a lot of practice. That's why simulation is critical to training before the surgeon operates on the first patient.
That being said, my husband's prostatectomy and my second knee replacement were done robotically. My recovery for the knee replacement was superior to my first surgery, and I went home the same day. My husband was in the hospital only one night.
