1959 Dragon yearbook



1967 Warren City Directory

1983 Warren City Directory
  • Huckabone Dennis & Susan 1315 Scandia Road
  • Yaegle Robert J & Lois E retired 5 Newhall Lane

The popularity of Susan was previously graphed in 2013, when she ranked #834 . Let's take a another look.



During the mid-20th century, Susan reigned as one of the most popular baby names for girls, thanks to the star power of her.  She spent 48 years (1937-1984) in the top 100, 24 of them (1945-1968) in the top 10.  She peaked at #2 for 4 consecutive years (1957-1960).

Keeping tabs on authors in LINKcat: Lou Cannon

 
Interest in reading about Ronald Reagan looks to be down to zero.

Maybe Scooter can go on a rescue mission.

New York Times, 12/20/2025

A celebrated journalist and author, Mr. Cannon covered Reagan for decades, first in California during the first of Reagan’s two terms as governor, and then as the senior White House correspondent for The Washington Post during Reagan’s two-term presidency in the 1980s, an era of rising American confidence that set the stage for nuclear détente and the end of the Cold War. 
In a crowded publishing niche — the number of books on Reagan easily exceeds 1,000 — Mr. Cannon was widely regarded as a foremost authority on the president. He had extraordinary access, traveled with Reagan, interviewed him some 100 times and admired and respected him. Yet his half-dozen books on the president were never adoring. Indeed, reviewers generally found them to be models of objective reporting whose assessments of Reagan tended toward the negative.

Something of a one-hit wonder in publishing.


Source:  LINKcat

New York Times, 12/18/2025

Alex Traub reports:
Gradually, “Plain and Simple” found its audience. In 1992, three years after its initial publication, it made it onto the New York Times paperback best-seller list, alongside such titles as “Iron John” by Robert Bly, which inspired the men’s movement, and “The Road Less Traveled” by M. Scott Peck, a psychiatrist’s prescription for fulfillment through discipline and humility. 
It was a decade of movements powered by middle-class Americans who sought to reduce consumption, after a recession in the early 1990s led to waves of white-collar corporate layoffs. People built tiny houses to escape mortgages; they took the “100 Thing Challenge” to pare down their possessions; and they embraced voluntary simplicity, an aspect of the American character at least as old as Henry David Thoreau’s 1840s sojourn at Walden Pond.
