About this listen

Today, we meet the inventor of racquetball, consider several cocktails, remember a World War II strategic operation, and land on the moon. We conclude by remembering why wax is not a good binding material for feathers! IMAGINE That! Note: Those interested in learning more about Operation Torch and 1942 might wish to check out the following book: November 1942: An Intimate History of the Turning Point of World War II, by Swedish historian Peter Englund. The book explores events during that November, including Operation Torch. Drawing on diaries, journals, letters, memoirs, and records, Englund, a member of the Swedish Academy and winner of the August Prize, chronicles the lives and experiences of ordinary people around the world during this pivotal month.
