A Life of Accomplishments
What a life Richard W. Sonnenfeldt lived.
What a life Richard W. Sonnenfeldt lived. He was a Jew who escaped the worst of Nazi Germany, traveled five continents until he arrived in the U.S. where he became a citizen, joined the Army and fought the Battle of the Bulge and helped liberate Dachau. Then he helped translate, then interrogate, war criminals including Hermann Goering. Afterward he became an electrical engineer, went to work for RCA, and helped develop color television. For pleasure, he crossed the Atlantic Ocean three times in his 45-foot sailboat.

Why are you printing this tripe? Don't you know that Jon and Kate are fighting over the custody of their children? We need to know what the first lady is wearing for dinner tonight. Who cares about some guy who escaped from the Nazis, helped to defeat them and was involved in the development of the color television. Actually, come to think of it, that last part was important. After all, we wouldn't have Entertainment Tonight and MTV. Kudos to Mr. Sonnenfeldt for that.
