Headlines From July 3, 1933

Full News Archive

  • Headline: Burgess' Philosophy Lauded by Dr. Butler. Impact: Dr. Butler’s foreword inspired a generation of scholars who thought philosophy was just a fancy way to sound smart at parties. Spoiler: it wasn't. Fact: The only thing more inflated than academic egos is the price of textbooks.
  • Headline: Revolutionizing Metal Polish Measurement. Impact: The use of photo-electric cells in measuring polish set off a global obsession with shiny things. This eventually led to the rise of glitter as a serious craft supply. Fact: People once believed that a shiny car was the pinnacle of success. Then they discovered they could buy a shiny phone instead.
  • Headline: BERLIN FEARS PLAN TO INFLATE MARK; Financial Leaders Express Anxiety Over Naming of Feder to Cabinet. LOOK TO GOLD STANDARD Assert Its Abandonment Would Result in Disaster to Trade of the World.. Impact: Inflation fears in Berlin led to the eventual creation of the term 'hyperinflation,' which would later be used to describe the cost of avocado toast. Fact: Germany's financial woes would eventually inspire a whole genre of dystopian literature. Thank you, inflation!.
  • Headline: THE TASK OF COORDINATION.. Impact: The task of coordination became a euphemism for 'let's all agree to disagree while pretending we’re being productive,' leading to generations of meetings that could have been emails. Fact: Coordination meetings are just a fancy way of saying, 'Let’s sit around and talk about how we should have done this in the first place.'.
  • Headline: CATHEDRAL BUILDERS.. Impact: The revival of interest in cathedral builders inspired a global trend of oversized buildings that were more about ego than utility, paving the way for the current obsession with skyscrapers. Fact: Cathedrals were built to bring people together. Ironically, they often ended up being the most divisive structures in a city.
  • Headline: Get $2,000 In Glen Ridge Hold-Up.. Impact: The Glen Ridge hold-up incident led to an unexpected boom in community watch programs, because nothing says 'we care' like a neighborhood meeting over stolen beef. Fact: In the world of crime, beef theft is about as low as you can go. Unless you’re stealing vegan options, of course.
  • Headline: AKRON VICTIMS HONORED.; i Jersey Legion Holds Memorial I Services at Lakehurst.. Impact: The memorial service for the Akron victims inspired a newfound appreciation for safety regulations in airships, which ultimately led to the decline of zeppelins. Thanks, guys. Fact: Memorial services often serve as a reminder that you should probably be more careful with flying machines. Just a thought.
  • Headline: ENGLAND'S SCHOOLS LAUDED BY EDUCATOR; Dr. Jewell Lochhead Says That Nation Can Teach Us Much in Handling Younger Children.. Impact: Dr. Lochhead's praise of England's schools sparked a worldwide educational reform movement, leading to the strange notion that teaching kids is actually beneficial. Fact: There’s nothing like a good education system to make you question your own schooling. Thanks, England!.
