Hi headandheart

I still found this error.

:20 at the beginning you should have read
A Declaration of the Representatives of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in General Congress assembled.

The other error was fixed very nicely

Sue. Are we using the Wikipedia link to the Declaration of Indepence? If so I'll post it into the Magic Window.

Thanks Josh

That was very interesting.And well read for such a long piece.

I found a few errors

At the BEGINNING say: "[Title of Work], by [Author Name]" "This is a Librivox recording. All Librivox recordings are in the public domain. For more information or to volunteer, please visit Librivox.org"

You just said Read for Librivox.org

6:30 at last the idea had occurred to him – you read at least

27:00 a long letter arrived from his lost son, the man was as grateful to me as if I had read had something to do with the hurrying up of that letter. Some errors in this sentence

28:35 have had to take it out in trying, because George (colored) , who makes the fires – you read George, my hired man

30:30 and try to interest me in his projected raids upon the title and estates by offering me a share in the latter portion of the spoil – you forgot to read projected raids upon the title and estates

41:06 “A remarkable Coincidence” no need to add the extra remarks not in the text since it is explained in the sentence above.

At least 5 seconds of silence at the end - you didn't leave any silence

Please let me know if you have any questions

Hi Mike, Thanks for this tidbit concerning U.S. military involvement abroad. A little to the left of your selection on that page from the New York Times is another interesting article from 1919: "Red Menace in Europe Will Extinguish Itself in 3 Months, Says Major Babbit." Major Babbit writes: "It was part of my work in Germany to inspect and relieve prison camps, many of them containing Russian prisoners of war, among whom Bolshevist doctrines were rife. In less than a month those Russians were on the best of terms with our men. They were, so to speak, tamed. Why? Because the Americans treated them right: that's all."

Volume 066 of the Nonfiction Collection has yours truly, the Book Coordinator, feeling rather like an old and disgruntled schoolmarm trying to enforce discipline ... Mike, you read your selection like a pro radio announcer, but you neglected the obligatory LibriVox intro: "At the BEGINNING say: "[Title of Work], by [Author Name]" "This is a Librivox recording. All Librivox recordings are in the public domain. For more information or to volunteer, please visit Librivox.org" I'll take the hit for telling you the intro has got to be there, and save Craig the trouble of pointing it out to you . . .

Hope your unemployment is short lived!

[lethargilistic]

Fixed this. I recorded this immediately after some poetry and got my wires crossed. ^^;

It would have been nice of them in 1919 to not start the article with such a snarly run-on sentence.

I thought that other article was cool, too, and was tempted to read it, but I decided to only read one NYT article today. Maybe some other time. Who knows?

That war isn't spoken of much.
