Never too early: Chelsea Clinton, daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton, has a book deal with Penguin Young Readers for “It’s Your World: Get Informed, Get Inspired &Get Going.” The book will address the challenges ahead for young people, Clinton said (Page B4).
And, especially for those readers 9 and older, there’s a voter registration card dated for 2024 and a sample ballot marked with Chelsea’s name.
Channel-surfing the vast cultural wasteland: With most shows now in reruns, what little original programming there is includes Fox’s “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?” at 8 tonight (The Clicker, Page B4).
If that fails to get enough viewers, Fox has ready as a replacement, “Have You Really Nothing Better To Do Than Watch This?”
Don’t know much about history: On this day in 1960, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. accused the Soviets of hiding a microphone inside a wood carving of the Great Seal of the United States that had been presented to the U.S. Embassy in Moscow (Today in History, Page B4).
“Is not microphone,” the Soviets retorted. “Is hearing aid for eagle.”
