Harold Stassen Was an Original (12/10/07)

Our state's youngest-ever county attorney ... and the nation's youngest-ever governor ... barely forty when he almost won the Republican Party's nomination for president ... the last-surviving signer of the United Nation's Charter ... Stassen lived a full life. In 1995 on the 50th anniversary of the founding of the UN, Harold appeared on Almanac and told a great story about the role his wife Esther played in breaking a diplomatic stalemate back in 1945.

8 Governors (09/20/07)

EIGHT living former governors. That's what Minnesota had back in 1986. And in May of that year all eight were in one place at one time at the St. Paul Pioneer Press. We had a camera there and recorded the historic event. Yeah, only seven of the governors are featured talking in this clip. C. Elmer Anderson was always a bit shy.

Rod Grams (08/24/07)

The former U.S. Senator was named this week to be our state's U.N. Day Honorary Chair. We do some catching up.

World War II Memorial (06/08/07)

This weekend thousands of veterans will come to St. Paul's Capitol mall for the dedication of Minnesota's memorial to those who fell during the Second World War. Our Mary Lahammer gives us a preview.
