It's 10 December 2023 and it is the 2nd Sunday of Advent. Some time ago, I saw a movie called News of the World in which years after the Civil War a former confederate officer eeks out a living going about and reading various newspaper stories from all over to people who pay a dime a head - in today's money about 2.50.
