Celebrity generates cash

 98 years ago a Chicago radio station paid $1000 a day to AT&T for a radio feed from a courtroom in Tennessee where a criminal trial was underway.

The fee was paid for a part of the trial where the defence lawyer called the prosecuting lawyer to give evidence as an expert witness on the Bible.

The prosecuting lawyer was a former US Secretary of State who had run three times for US President.

In his evidence, he said that the world was created in 4004 BC, that the Tower of Babel accounted for the world’s many languages and that Eve was made from Adam’s rib.

Moral: Celebrity is lucrative
