RINO

   RINO=Republican In Name Only.
   It's been said of New York City's current mayor, the billionaire (and former lifelong Democrat) Michael Bloomberg...If Bloomberg adds a lot to the Municipal Archives, we'll have RINO RECORDS.

Added to that was his appearance before the Los Angeles County Federation of Republican Women where one former supporter presented him with a campaign button that had the red international slash through it and the initials RINO.

"It means Republican In Name Only," said Celeste Griego, who was passing out the buttons. "We're giving them out to all the politicians who pretend to be Republicans."

SAVANNAH NEWSPAPERS

   The Savannah (GA) newspapers are not on GALILEO yet.  Almost no newspapers are there.  While I was at the Library of Congress last week, the librarian told me that Savannah had requested some microfilm reels from the 1990s.  Whatever they're doing, it doesn't look like a NEW YORK TIMES-like digitization.
   There is an LOC Newspaper Division index, compiled by the WPA, to some colonial Savannah newspapers.
   FWIW, I asked the local library and got this:

Do you know the time period of the microfilm being digitized?  The Savannah
Morning News is scanning their papers from 1990 toward the present.  I do
not know if Galileo is ready to add some of the older Savannah newspapers to
its database or not.  I would think anyone digitizing images from microfilm
would want to do it from a fresh copy, not one which had been used and
possibly scratched.

What do you want to know about Southern food - photos, recipes?

DAGWOOD SANDWICH

   The first time Dagwood bit into a sandwich is not the birth of the term "Dagwood sandwich."  I hunted for the words on ancestry.com newspapers.


   19 July 1939, CHARLESTON DAILY MAIL (Charleston, WV), pg. 7, col. 4:
   You can stop worrying about the success of the "Blondie" series now--one of Hollywood's most popular places-to-eat has installed a "Dagwood" sandwich on its menu.
