Lowell Thomas

State Henry Kissinger.

Lowell Thomas is here to watch the series, this game, and my man, Frank Sinatra.

He's here too, the chairman.

And they're seeing quite a ball game as the Royals lead the Yankees 3-2, the Yankees coming to bat in inning number six.

not what it really is

but on the other side of that coin I have points from david barber who said quote we have american journalist lowell thomas to thank for the legend of lawrence although the real lawrence was indeed talented in some ways according to arab historians almost everything thomas claimed for lawrence the arabs had accomplished for themselves including unifying the tribes commencing the revolt driving the turks from mecca and planning and taking akaba Although Lawrence's director guffawed at the thought that anyone might see his movie as being imperialist, and although most critics who examine the film's politics see Lawrence as anti-war or as anti-imperialist, it is difficult to see the film's characterization of Arab people as anything other than a justification for colonialism.

True, Lawrence and its idealistic title character are critical of Britain's unthinking racism and cynical, duplicitous, short-sighted relations with the Arabs.

John Kennedy, whose rise to the presidency coincides with the movie's gestation period, offered at the time a similar critique of the U.S. in its heavy-handed dealings with Middle Eastern nationalist movements.

You were just saying about Unventures Unlimited.

That was Lowell Thomas.

But what did that have to do with Ron Taylor?

I'm guessing he just says underwater photography.

In this day and atomic age, another place to find suspense is in the news.

And one reporter who never loses an opportunity to make the most of a colorful, suspenseful news story is Lowell Thomas.

Heard weekday evenings on CBS Radio.

Get into the habit.

Get your news from Lowell Thomas.

Heard in tonight's story were Lyle Sudrow as Pappy, with Margaret Draper, Les Damon, Bob Reddick, Frank Thomas Jr., Robert Donnelly, Mason Adams, Jim Bowles, Frank Butler, and Whitfield Connor.

Listen again next week when we return with The Last Trip, written especially for suspense by Ralph Bell and Eugene Francis.

He had never stood on the North Pole.

In the summer of 1957, a broadcaster named Lowell Thomas finally offered to take him along on a flight to do just that.

On the 2nd of September, the group landed at the Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage on their way north.

The crowds at the base recognized Freuchen from the game show-

... not from anything he'd done as an explorer.

He cheerfully signed autographs, and they climbed the steps to the officers' quarters.

At about 5:30 in the afternoon, Lowell Thomas and another explorer in the party heard a muffled thump from upstairs.

They found Freuchen sprawled across the floor of his room.

The fact is that what happened in the Middle East seemed to attract Americans much more than anything that was happening in Europe.

Woodrow Wilson sent a documentary maker called Lowell Thomas to Europe to make a documentary showing why America should be in the war.

Lowell Thomas said, after being there for a few weeks, he said, there's nothing here that will encourage Americans to be in the war.

And then he discovered that General Edmund Allenby was on his way to Jerusalem.

He said, that looks more interesting.

The plot is straightforward, depicting Britain at peace and then on the brink of war, ready to stand against the Nazi threat.

The film's documentary style, narrated by Lowell Thomas, adds a layer of authenticity, though it is not without its biases and exaggerations.

Critics have noted the film's propagandistic nature, with some describing it as a mix of half-truths and staged episodes.

Despite this, it effectively captures the spirit of Britain during the early days of World War II.
