Awash in conflicting reports from unstable battlefronts, [President Gerald] Ford wanted a firsthand appraisal [on the situation in Vietnam] from someone he could trust. General [Frederick] Weyand was his chosen emissary. "You are not going over to lose," he instructed Weyand, "but to be tough and see what we can do." Ford conceded that any military options were severely limited. "I regret I don't have the authority to do some of the things President Nixon could do," he remarked wistfully. As the Oval Office emptied, photographer David Kennerly stayed behind. "You know, I would really like to go with the General," he said. Ford needed no persuading. As a journalist, and a friend, with extensive knowledge of the region from his two-year stint as a combat photographer for UPI, Life and Time, Kennerly could be counted on for an honest assessment of events -- more honest, perhaps, than that of diplomats and military men -- and with it, the pictures to back him up. Kennerly returned to his first-floor office with a sign dangling from his neck. GONE TO VIETNAM. BACK IN TWO WEEKS.

That evening the irreverent photo hound dubbed Hot Shot by the Secret Service appeared in the upstairs family quarters to say goodbye. Ford threw a protective arm around the young man's shoulders.

"You be careful. You have everything you need?"

As a matter of fact, Kennerly's pockets were empty. Local banks were closed and he could use some cash. Ford opened his wallet and handed over its contents, $47, as Betty Ford gave Kennerly a hug. He was striding toward the door when the President called out his name. "Here," said Ford, tossing Kennerly a quarter. "You might as well clean me out."

-- Richard Norton Smith, on White House photographer David Hume Kennerly's interactions with President Gerald Ford after Kennerly asked to accompany a General on a fact-finding mission to Vietnam in March 1975, shortly before the Fall of Saigon, An Ordinary Man: The Surprising Life and Historic Presidency of Gerald R. Ford (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO)

Pssst…

A gentle reminder that our middle-grade debut novel releases August 6, 2024 from HarperCollins!

THE MONSTROUS ADVENTURES OF MUMMY MAN AND WAFFLES tells the story of 11-year-old Wen as he and his new friend Tanya accidentally bring a basement full of old horror movie props to life. The only good monster in the bunch is MUMMY MAN, a goofy, big-hearted movie mummy who adopts a creek turtle named Frank. Together, they battle the bad movie monsters to stop an all-out creature invasion.

This has been a labor of love for me, the first in a new spooky humor middle-grade series dedicated to my love of old-school fright films, movie monsters, and super heroes — written purely for my inner 8-year-old.

Fans of That’s Believable will find that I write for kids pretty much the way I write here. And with amazing illustrations by the incredibly talented Robb Mommaerts, it’s going to be a great time!

If you like what we do, if this sounds interesting (and/or you have younger siblings/nieces/nephews), and you’d like to support us, a great way to do that is to PRE-ORDER the book HERE!

Thanks for listening, and we return you to our regularly scheduled nonsense.

Hello! My name is Kelly, I work at HarperCollins, a book publisher in the United States. Currently about 250 members of our union are on strike. Our chapter is local 2110 of UAW. We’re striking as we’ve been without a contract since April and are asking for minimum salaries to be at $50,000 (we’re based in New York City), stronger commitments to diversity initiatives, and union protections.

I’m asking people to sign a letter in support of us. You can do so by clicking this link! We’re hoping to get 15,000 signatures by Friday. Considering support us?

You can also learn more about us and our union at this link here!

Milestone Monday

If daylight savings has you feeling discombobulated, here’s your pass to take a nap! March 11th is National Napping Day and in the spirit of the day we’re sharing Shel Silverstein’s (1930-1999) The Nap Taker from his book of poems Falling Up.  

Falling Up was published in 1996 by HarperCollins and was Silverstein’s third published collection of poetry. The book features over one hundred poems and drawings by Silverstein and was the recipient of the Booklist Editor’s Award in 1996. Our copy of Falling Up was a gift from Alison Newman and is another book from our sizable Historical Curriculum Collection.
