        I love that you share these interesting bits of history! I also imagine you having an office either in a vast warehouse in the vein of Raiders of the Lost Ark, or in a sumptuous, hermetically sealed vault, complete with white gloves and halon alarm.

        I have played one of Harpo's harps and had it in my car and house. It's a beauty.

        Harpo -- even just Harpo the movie character, much less Harpo the man -- would have looked like a genius in today's Cabinet.

        @RicksterWho - just the thought of what you said made me laugh out loud. If I could, I would create a meme with him in the cabinet cause it has a ring of truth to it, doesn't it!

        Today that would probably be a mere tweet ... would anyone recall that 60 years later?

        Many people don't know that HARPO is OPRAH spelled backwards.

        I've never received a telegram. Was this sent from Harpo in Newport Beach to Kennedy at the LA Sports Arena?

        Harpo could “speak” more truth today than most members of the current administration.
