Good Day by Paul J. Batura follows the remarkable life of one of the founding fathers of the news media.

In Good Day , you'll follow,
* How he became "Paul Harvey"

Whether he was covering racial tensions, terrorist attacks, or which vitamins to take, Paul Harvey articulated the American experience for average people making their way in a world too large for quick comprehension. Harvey brought them that world "in dime store words," with a sense of optimism and faith, and with a deep love for America. Here is Harvey's story, the rest of the story, as he would tell it himself.
