    A. Joseph Ross points out on the Digest that there is some indication in OTR
    history that, contrary to many sources, KDKA was not the first radio station
    in the USA.

    Hebs rightb&this is just another cherished OTR myth that is false. Despite
    the claims of Westinghouse Corporation that owned the station, KDKA was not
    the first on the air; it wasnbt even the first station to get a commercial
    license.

    Prominent OTR historian Donna Halper demolishes this myth in the following
    article:

    Read it and be fooled no longerb&.

    Who is buried in Grant's tomb?

    Nobody.

    President and Mrs. Grant are not buried. They are entombed above ground
    in an atrium.
