She was 61.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she took the helm of \u003cem>Washington Week in Review \u003c/em>in 1999, Ifill became the first African-American woman to host a major political TV talk show. Ifill covered seven presidential campaigns and moderated the vice presidential debates in 2004 and 2008. More recently, she moderated a presidential primary debate between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Ifill was also the best-selling author of \u003cem>The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2013, Ifill was named co-host of the \u003cem>PBS NewsHour.\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/07/business/media/gwen-ifill-and-judy-woodruff-to-co-anchor-newshour.html?_r=0\">In an interview with the New York Times\u003c/a>, she reflected on what her appointment could mean to a new generation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I was a little girl watching programs like this — because that’s the kind of nerdy family we were — I would look up and not see anyone who looked like me in any way. No women. No people of color,” she said. “I’m very keen about the fact that a little girl now, watching the news, when they see me and Judy [Woodruff] sitting side by side, it will occur to them that that’s perfectly normal — that it won’t seem like any big breakthrough at all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paula Kerger, president and CEO of PBS, said Ifill was “a fundamental reason public media is considered a trusted window on the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He would have loved something like that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those “guys” to which Hill refers are veterans in D.C. visiting the memorials for the first time, seen by donning the VR headset.

While fundraising for the project, Hill reached out to a friend of hers at Jaunt who agreed to partner with her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal of the film was to create an immersive experience told through the eyes of veterans. So Hill captured footage of veterans at the World War II Memorial\u003cb> \u003c/b>in Washington, D.C. Since then, Hill says all of the people who were featured in the film have passed away. But Hill says having filmed these war heroes captures their experience for their loved ones. “They can be feet away from them again, in full glory, and feel like they’re there with them,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Getting VR headsets into veterans’ hands\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>VR filmmaking has only slowly edged its way into mainstream culture over the past two years. Device adoption of VR headsets is not yet as widespread as laptops or gaming consoles, despite the fact that a pair of VR glasses for a mobile device can be purchased for under a dollar. Consumers can also watch experiences online or on a player outside of a headset.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The currently low uptake of VR hardware has posed a challenge for Hill in connecting her film with the people she most wants to reach. So Hill takes a proactive approach to the technology, putting devices into veterans’ hands and seeking donations of headsets from Google and other manufacturers. “We take the devices to them,” she says of enabling veterans to experience her project. “We’ve just been flying there as our budget allows.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>No subsitute for reality\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Despite Hill’s ambitious goal of providing her VR film to as many veterans as possible, she doesn’t see it matching the experience of visiting the war memorials in real life. “There is no substitute for seeing a memorial in person,” Hill says. Hill actively encourages senior veterans, in particular, to contact the non-profit organization \u003ca href=\"https://www.honorflight.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Honor Flight Network\u003c/a>, which transports veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect on war memorials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12326263\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 604px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12326263 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Honoring_screenshot.png\" alt=\"Image from ‘Honor Everywhere 360.’\" width=\"604\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Honoring_screenshot.png 604w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Honoring_screenshot-160x90.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Honoring_screenshot-240x134.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Honoring_screenshot-375x210.png 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Honoring_screenshot-520x291.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image from ‘Honor Everywhere 360.’ \u003ccite>(Photo: Courtesy of StoryUP)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And if you happen to have a VR headset gathering dust in a corner, Hill suggests lending or donating it to your nearest and dearest veteran. “On a day where we honor the people who gave the ultimate sacrifice, to be able to give a gift to veterans who aren’t able to travel, it’s a perfect day for that,” Hill says. “Tell a veteran about the experience.

So Hill captured footage of veterans at the World War II Memorial\u003cb> \u003c/b>in Washington, D.C. Since then, Hill says all of the people who were featured in the film have passed away. But Hill says having filmed these war heroes captures their experience for their loved ones. “They can be feet away from them again, in full glory, and feel like they’re there with them,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Getting VR headsets into veterans’ hands\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>VR filmmaking has only slowly edged its way into mainstream culture over the past two years. Device adoption of VR headsets is not yet as widespread as laptops or gaming consoles, despite the fact that a pair of VR glasses for a mobile device can be purchased for under a dollar. Consumers can also watch experiences online or on a player outside of a headset.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The currently low uptake of VR hardware has posed a challenge for Hill in connecting her film with the people she most wants to reach. So Hill takes a proactive approach to the technology, putting devices into veterans’ hands and seeking donations of headsets from Google and other manufacturers. “We take the devices to them,” she says of enabling veterans to experience her project. “We’ve just been flying there as our budget allows.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>No subsitute for reality\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Despite Hill’s ambitious goal of providing her VR film to as many veterans as possible, she doesn’t see it matching the experience of visiting the war memorials in real life. “There is no substitute for seeing a memorial in person,” Hill says. Hill actively encourages senior veterans, in particular, to contact the non-profit organization \u003ca href=\"https://www.honorflight.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Honor Flight Network\u003c/a>, which transports veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect on war memorials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12326263\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 604px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12326263 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Honoring_screenshot.png\" alt=\"Image from ‘Honor Everywhere 360.’\" width=\"604\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Honoring_screenshot.png 604w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Honoring_screenshot-160x90.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Honoring_screenshot-240x134.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Honoring_screenshot-375x210.png 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Honoring_screenshot-520x291.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image from ‘Honor Everywhere 360.’ \u003ccite>(Photo: Courtesy of StoryUP)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And if you happen to have a VR headset gathering dust in a corner, Hill suggests lending or donating it to your nearest and dearest veteran. “On a day where we honor the people who gave the ultimate sacrifice, to be able to give a gift to veterans who aren’t able to travel, it’s a perfect day for that,” Hill says. “Tell a veteran about the experience.

His makeup and demeanor resemble nothing less than a Kabuki mask of pain and surprise. In English and Russian, he says, “I understand war because I fought with my mother-in-law.” The audience laughs at what seems an easy joke, but the laughter ceases when the sentence and the image start to mutate into fragments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lights black out and return so fast, Baryshnikov changes his expression so slightly, and the sentence keeps on breaking into bits and pieces — “I understand war,” “mother-in-law,” “fought” — to the point that you feel like you’re having a seizure. Barely anything happens and yet the scene is a sensory overload. Like most of \u003cem>Letter to a Man\u003c/em>, we only get a glimpse of Nijinsky’s genius, but his descent into madness is catalogued with an infinite and loving care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point Wilson transforms the stage into a long rectangle of light, making you feel like the black sky is weighing down on your head and the endless road before you is stretching out forever. We hear the diary entry: “I went out for a walk once and it seemed to me there was blood in the snow, and so I ran following the trail. I had the impression that somebody had killed a man but he was alive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What follows is some of the most beautiful walking you can imagine — hesitant, then leaping forward with great force, then somehow happening all over again. The choreography has the feel of a strip of film come to life. Then you notice that as Nijinsky investigates the bloody trail, right behind him, almost tiptoeing in pursuit, is his shadow, strikingly offset against a thick white fog. There seems to be no possible end or reconciliation, only the belief that a murdered man should be alive, and that a man and his shadow can never be one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s as if the piece obsessively reminds us that the only Nijinsky we get is the one that has been violently severed from himself. At one point he takes off his jacket — a relatively simple gesture — but does it with such grace that you end up wishing that you could do the same. That doing so might be the beginning of your entrance to the divine, as it is for Nijinsky a memory of how beautiful and perfect he once was. As the scene ends the jacket takes center stage and the dancer disappears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12329719\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12329719\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Baryshnikov-e1478863899668-800x451.jpg\" alt=\"Vaslav Nijinski (Mikhail Baryshnikov) dreams of perfection in 'Letter to a Man' directed and conceived by Robert Wilson and Baryshnikov.\" width=\"800\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Baryshnikov-e1478863899668-800x451.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Baryshnikov-e1478863899668-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Baryshnikov-e1478863899668-768x433.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Baryshnikov-e1478863899668-1020x575.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Baryshnikov-e1478863899668-1920x1082.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Baryshnikov-e1478863899668-1180x665.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Baryshnikov-e1478863899668-960x541.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Baryshnikov-e1478863899668-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Baryshnikov-e1478863899668-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Baryshnikov-e1478863899668-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vaslav Nijinsky (Mikhail Baryshnikov) dreams of perfection in ‘Letter to a Man’ directed and conceived by Robert Wilson and Baryshnikov. \u003ccite>(Photo: Lucy Jansch)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And it is that split — the memory of a body, mind, and art in accordance with God — that makes \u003cem>Letter to a Man, \u003c/em>though brilliant, a difficult and rough go.

Like most of \u003cem>Letter to a Man\u003c/em>, we only get a glimpse of Nijinsky’s genius, but his descent into madness is catalogued with an infinite and loving care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We hear the diary entry: “I went out for a walk once and it seemed to me there was blood in the snow, and so I ran following the trail. I had the impression that somebody had killed a man but he was alive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What follows is some of the most beautiful walking you can imagine — hesitant, then leaping forward with great force, then somehow happening all over again. The choreography has the feel of a strip of film come to life. Then you notice that as Nijinsky investigates the bloody trail, right behind him, almost tiptoeing in pursuit, is his shadow, strikingly offset against a thick white fog. There seems to be no possible end or reconciliation, only the belief that a murdered man should be alive, and that a man and his shadow can never be one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s as if the piece obsessively reminds us that the only Nijinsky we get is the one that has been violently severed from himself. At one point he takes off his jacket — a relatively simple gesture — but does it with such grace that you end up wishing that you could do the same. That doing so might be the beginning of your entrance to the divine, as it is for Nijinsky a memory of how beautiful and perfect he once was. As the scene ends the jacket takes center stage and the dancer disappears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12329719\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12329719\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Baryshnikov-e1478863899668-800x451.jpg\" alt=\"Vaslav Nijinski (Mikhail Baryshnikov) dreams of perfection in 'Letter to a Man' directed and conceived by Robert Wilson and Baryshnikov.\" width=\"800\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Baryshnikov-e1478863899668-800x451.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Baryshnikov-e1478863899668-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Baryshnikov-e1478863899668-768x433.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Baryshnikov-e1478863899668-1020x575.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Baryshnikov-e1478863899668-1920x1082.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Baryshnikov-e1478863899668-1180x665.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Baryshnikov-e1478863899668-960x541.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Baryshnikov-e1478863899668-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Baryshnikov-e1478863899668-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/11/Baryshnikov-e1478863899668-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vaslav Nijinsky (Mikhail Baryshnikov) dreams of perfection in ‘Letter to a Man’ directed and conceived by Robert Wilson and Baryshnikov. \u003ccite>(Photo: Lucy Jansch)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And it is that split — the memory of a body, mind, and art in accordance with God — that makes \u003cem>Letter to a Man, \u003c/em>though brilliant, a difficult and rough go.

On her new album, \u003cem>Lover\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Beloved\u003c/em>: \u003cem>Songs from an Evening with Carson McCullers, \u003c/em>she channels the persona of Carson McCullers, the unconventional Southern gothic writer of novels like \u003cem>Member of the Wedding\u003c/em> and \u003cem>The Heart is a Lonely Hunter (\u003c/em>which was certainly the most depressing and amazing book I read in high school). Vega has been drawn to McCullers since she was 17 and saw a photograph of the author, and that persistent obsession has paid off with this new song cycle. This is a great double bill (or triple bill, if you count McCullers), since Teddy Thompson is opening for Vega. He’s the son of folk-rock legends Linda and Richard Thompson, and a pretty fine folkie himself.

One of the narratives that arose quickly after Tuesday night was the so-called elite urban left's inability to engage with the disenfranchised rural right.

By his account, he was lying on the living-room couch in the dark, listening to election returns on the radio. It seemed the vote might be going for Truman over his Republican challenger, Thomas Dewey of New York. But an announcer mentioned the Chicago Tribune was already calling the race and that an early edition declaring Dewey the winner was on the street. Dad said he went out to a newsstand and bought a copy just as a Tribune delivery driver was trying to retrieve the early edition. That's the copy pictured above.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the things I noticed when I was a kid looking at that front page was how little evidence the Tribune had to declare a winner. Much of the South looked like a lock for States' Rights (and segregationist) candidate \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/now/politics/dixiecrats.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Strom Thurmond\u003c/a>. The Trib's front-page copy mentioned polls were still open in most of the country, and where voting was over, the count was so preliminary -- well, you just have to admire the power of wishful thinking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course the Tribune had to be first with the news: Its owner, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/books/97/07/13/reviews/mccormick-obit.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Colonel Robert R. McCormick\u003c/a>, was an arch-anti-Democrat and sworn foe of FDR and everything he stood for. A 1936 story on the Democratic National Convention was headlined, \"The Soviets Gather at Philadelphia.\" A subhead in this 1948 edition's lead election story reads, \"New Deal Repudiated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11164966\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/tribdetail.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11164966\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/tribdetail.jpg\" alt=\"A detail of the Chicago Tribune's 1948 'Dewey Defeats Truman' front page showing inverted copy.

Several lines of type in the lead story's second paragraph were inserted upside down. Also, the first three pages seem to be cast in a \"typewriter\" Courier typeface that appears slapdash and irregular, with some lines askew and poorly spaced; the type is different from the interior pages, which are set in what I assume was the paper's regular typeface.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(After some research, the explanation appears to be that the paper's typesetters were on strike and that the lines in question were indeed typed, then cut and pasted somehow, then photographed for reproduction on the press.

In perhaps the only story he's remembered for, the Trib's Washington bureau chief, Arthur Sears Henning, declared the outcome of the vote:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Dewey and Warren won a sweeping victory in the Presidential election yesterday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The early returns showed the Republican ticket leading Truman and Barkley pretty consistently in northern and western states. The indications were that the complete returns would disclose that Dewey won the Presidency by an overwhelming majority of electoral votes.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Since the numbers didn't bear out the tale, who or what was the source of that intelligence? Herbert Brownell, Dewey's campaign manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brownell, wrote Henning, \"claimed that on the basis of the complete returns 'we will wind up sweeping two-thirds of the states for the Republican ticket.' \" There was more:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"As states definitely in the Republican column in the light of the fragmentary returns Brownell named Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire, Vermont, and South Dakota. Four years ago the Republicans carried only five of these states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"'At this moment,' said Brownell, 'the polls have closed in 12 of the 48 states outside the solid south. These states have a total of 120 votes in the electoral college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"'On the basis of reports which I have been receiving from organization leaders thruout the country, I am confident that the Dewey-Warren ticket has already carried 10 of these 12 states with a total of 101 of the 120 electoral votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"'In the other two states--Kentucky and West Virginia--returns are not yet conclusive but the trend to the Dewey-Warren ticket is heartening.' \"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Brownell wasn't completely off-base, though Illinois, Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky all went for Truman. Still, the paper went out on that limb on the basis of 12 states and hearsay about \"reports from organizers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">H\u003c/span>enning's eventual successor as head of the Tribune Washington bureau, Walter Trohan, was in Chicago that night covering congressional elections for the paper. He recorded \u003ca href=\"http://www.trumanlibrary.org/oralhist/trohan.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an account\u003c/a> of parts of his bureau tenure for the Harry S. Truman Library in 1970. He said an election evening phone call with Ohio Sen. Robert Taft, who had lost the Republican nomination to Dewey, led him to believe the Trib's story and banner headline were wrong. About the 72-year-old Henning's insistence that Dewey was winning, Trohan said, \"Why he became so stubborn I don't know; I guess age.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trohan was called on to write a new version of the story for later editions, with Truman the victor. But before that happened, he was asked to appear on a local TV show to discuss the returns:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"...And that night it was terrible, about 10 o'clock, before -- we were still carrying the headline -- I was called to go on TV to discuss the congressional election. And I went up and there was Henning, and there was the wife of the publisher, and some very important people, a dozen people or so. The announcer was a fellow with a charming voice, but no sense, in a very nice pearl-shaped tone, said, 'Well, Walter,' and I had never met him before in my life, 'how is Mr. Dewey going to get along with majority Congress?'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I said, 'He isn't going to have a majority Congress, the Democrats have won the Congress.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He said, 'You mean that Dewey will have to work with a hostile Congress?'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And I said, 'No, I don't mean anything of the kind. Mr. Dewey ain't going to be there either.' \"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">B\u003c/span>ut Henning and the Trib were already committed to a different version not only of the story, but of history. Henning's rather brief piece ended with this bit of context under the previously mentioned subhead, \"New Deal Repudiated\":\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"The Republican victory brought to a close the 16 year reign of the New Deal which began in the country's most devastating depression, introduced a collectivist economy, produced a four-term President, embraced a disastrous war and left the nation a 250 billion dollar debt and heritage of foreign policy containing the seeds of another war.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The war Henning referred to, of course, was the one the United States and its allies fought to vanquish fascism.\u003c/p>\n\n",

By his account, he was lying on the living-room couch in the dark, listening to election returns on the radio. It seemed the vote might be going for Truman over his Republican challenger, Thomas Dewey of New York. But an announcer mentioned the Chicago Tribune was already calling the race and that an early edition declaring Dewey the winner was on the street. Dad said he went out to a newsstand and bought a copy just as a Tribune delivery driver was trying to retrieve the early edition. That's the copy pictured above.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the things I noticed when I was a kid looking at that front page was how little evidence the Tribune had to declare a winner. Much of the South looked like a lock for States' Rights (and segregationist) candidate \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/now/politics/dixiecrats.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Strom Thurmond\u003c/a>. The Trib's front-page copy mentioned polls were still open in most of the country, and where voting was over, the count was so preliminary -- well, you just have to admire the power of wishful thinking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course the Tribune had to be first with the news: Its owner, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/books/97/07/13/reviews/mccormick-obit.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Colonel Robert R. McCormick\u003c/a>, was an arch-anti-Democrat and sworn foe of FDR and everything he stood for. A 1936 story on the Democratic National Convention was headlined, \"The Soviets Gather at Philadelphia.\" A subhead in this 1948 edition's lead election story reads, \"New Deal Repudiated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11164966\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/tribdetail.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11164966\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/tribdetail.jpg\" alt=\"A detail of the Chicago Tribune's 1948 'Dewey Defeats Truman' front page showing inverted copy.

Several lines of type in the lead story's second paragraph were inserted upside down. Also, the first three pages seem to be cast in a \"typewriter\" Courier typeface that appears slapdash and irregular, with some lines askew and poorly spaced; the type is different from the interior pages, which are set in what I assume was the paper's regular typeface.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In perhaps the only story he's remembered for, the Trib's Washington bureau chief, Arthur Sears Henning, declared the outcome of the vote:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Dewey and Warren won a sweeping victory in the Presidential election yesterday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The early returns showed the Republican ticket leading Truman and Barkley pretty consistently in northern and western states. The indications were that the complete returns would disclose that Dewey won the Presidency by an overwhelming majority of electoral votes.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Since the numbers didn't bear out the tale, who or what was the source of that intelligence? Herbert Brownell, Dewey's campaign manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brownell, wrote Henning, \"claimed that on the basis of the complete returns 'we will wind up sweeping two-thirds of the states for the Republican ticket.' \" There was more:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"As states definitely in the Republican column in the light of the fragmentary returns Brownell named Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire, Vermont, and South Dakota. Four years ago the Republicans carried only five of these states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"'At this moment,' said Brownell, 'the polls have closed in 12 of the 48 states outside the solid south. These states have a total of 120 votes in the electoral college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"'On the basis of reports which I have been receiving from organization leaders thruout the country, I am confident that the Dewey-Warren ticket has already carried 10 of these 12 states with a total of 101 of the 120 electoral votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"'In the other two states--Kentucky and West Virginia--returns are not yet conclusive but the trend to the Dewey-Warren ticket is heartening.' \"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Brownell wasn't completely off-base, though Illinois, Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky all went for Truman. Still, the paper went out on that limb on the basis of 12 states and hearsay about \"reports from organizers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">H\u003c/span>enning's eventual successor as head of the Tribune Washington bureau, Walter Trohan, was in Chicago that night covering congressional elections for the paper. He recorded \u003ca href=\"http://www.trumanlibrary.org/oralhist/trohan.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an account\u003c/a> of parts of his bureau tenure for the Harry S. Truman Library in 1970. He said an election evening phone call with Ohio Sen. Robert Taft, who had lost the Republican nomination to Dewey, led him to believe the Trib's story and banner headline were wrong. About the 72-year-old Henning's insistence that Dewey was winning, Trohan said, \"Why he became so stubborn I don't know; I guess age.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trohan was called on to write a new version of the story for later editions, with Truman the victor. But before that happened, he was asked to appear on a local TV show to discuss the returns:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"...And that night it was terrible, about 10 o'clock, before -- we were still carrying the headline -- I was called to go on TV to discuss the congressional election. And I went up and there was Henning, and there was the wife of the publisher, and some very important people, a dozen people or so. The announcer was a fellow with a charming voice, but no sense, in a very nice pearl-shaped tone, said, 'Well, Walter,' and I had never met him before in my life, 'how is Mr. Dewey going to get along with majority Congress?'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I said, 'He isn't going to have a majority Congress, the Democrats have won the Congress.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He said, 'You mean that Dewey will have to work with a hostile Congress?'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And I said, 'No, I don't mean anything of the kind. Mr. Dewey ain't going to be there either.' \"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">B\u003c/span>ut Henning and the Trib were already committed to a different version not only of the story, but of history. Henning's rather brief piece ended with this bit of context under the previously mentioned subhead, \"New Deal Repudiated\":\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"The Republican victory brought to a close the 16 year reign of the New Deal which began in the country's most devastating depression, introduced a collectivist economy, produced a four-term President, embraced a disastrous war and left the nation a 250 billion dollar debt and heritage of foreign policy containing the seeds of another war.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
