He's back....

John Kerry gets a mention in Daniel Schorr's book Clearing the Air . In a passage that talks about how TV brings about new ideas faster and causes ideas and celebrities to burn out faster he mentions John Kerry: "John Kerry an eloquent Vietnam Veteran appeared on TV at a Senate hearing to become an overnite national personality- only to be almost forgotten a year later."

A little deja vu here. Kerry is back on TV, that's for sure. Also brought to mind the Warhol idea of 15 minutes of fame. This originated in 1968, Schorr wrote the passage in 1977.

Schorr, of NPR, has a newer book I plan to read.

Also in the I did not know file Schorr was involved with the founding of CNN.
