You are misinformed, Mr. Pollock.  I lived in Sioux City for 52 years. 
Sioux City had all of the major networks, which I watched.  I did not watch 
Omaha TV, nor could it be received.  I read the Sioux City Journal, Wall 
Street Journal, New York Times and the Des Moines Register.  I never looked 
at the Weird Herold.   I was always a Grinnell, Iowa and Michigan football 
fan and detested the Huskers.  You are correct we did send some right wing 
wackos to congress such as Latham, but also had Berkely Bedell and Stan 
Greigg, and for what it is worth, Fred Grandy.

school at NYU and US Navy)

much involved with Sioux City
