Encyclopedia > Paul Harvey's The Rest of the Story

Paul Harvey's The Rest of the Story is a book written by Paul Aurandt (Harvey's son) that chronicles around 80 stories that Paul Harvey told on his regular radio show. Sample stories include: the birth of Coca-Cola, the insanity of Patrick Henry's wife, and apparently how Franklin Pierce accidentally hit a killed a woman. For the Stuckist artist, see Paul Harvey (artist). ... The wave shape (known as the dynamic ribbon device) present on all Coca-Cola cans throughout the world derives from the contour of the original Coca-Cola bottles. ... Agnolo Bronzino, Allegorie der Liebe (1540/45) Insanity, or madness, is a general term for a semi-permanent, severe mental disorder. ... Patrick Henry (May 29, 1736 – June 6, 1799) was a prominent figure in the American Revolution, known and remembered primarily for his stirring oratory. ... Franklin Pierce (November 23, 1804 – October 8, 1869) was an American politician and the 14th President of the United States, serving from 1853 to 1857. ...


Havrey's stories are noted for their manner in which they tell a simple story and make it appear more complex. Also, it should be noted that Harvey does not cite any sources, and the reader is presumed to follow.
