George Clooney’s Most Memorable Christmas
“I was at college when my most memorable Christmas took place. Our neighbour was proud of his garden, so when my dog got into it, he shot its butt full of pellets. Fortunately the dog didn’t die. But in the middle of the neighbour’s garden was amanicured fir tree, so one Christmas Eve, I sawed it down and put it up in our house. No Christmas tree has ever meant so much to me.”
Milo Radulovich: He had a pivotal role in U.S. history

Milo Radulovich grew up in Detroit and ended his career as a meteorologist in Lansing, but in between he came to symbolize the beginning of the end of McCarthyism — the relentless campaign to purge the country of communists, real and perceived.
“He was one of my heroes,” said Al Fishman of Detroit, who is married to Mr. Radulovich’s sister, Margaret Fishman. “He put his finger in the dike to stop one of the worst times in our history.”
Mr. Radulovich, 81, died at a hospital in Vallejo, Calif., on Monday after a stroke earlier this year. He lived in Lodi.
He was a World War II veteran and 26-year-old physics student at the University of Michigan when told that he was being discharged from the Air Force as a security risk because of the actions of his sister Margaret and his father, John.
Their crimes? His sister had picketed outside the Book Cadillac Hotel when it refused a room to black entertainer Paul Robeson. His father subscribed to newspapers from his native Yugoslavia and had participated in a sit-down strike at Hudson Motor Car Co.
That was enough, for U.S. Sen. Joe McCarthy, to get Mr. Radulovich tagged as a communist sympathizer.
He fought back, because he wouldn’t be able to get a government weatherman job with such a discharge on his record. When news of his fight broke, powerful television personality Edward R. Murrow took up Mr. Radulovich’s cause. The fight became the central theme for “Good Night, and Good Luck,” a 2005 Academy Award-nominated movie.
Mr. Radulovich eventually was cleared by the Air Force and went to work for the U.S. Weather Service, and Murrow used the case to turn public opinion against McCarthy.
Funeral arrangements aren’t final. Fishman said the family in Michigan plans a memorial service in the state soon.
In addition to his sister, Mr. Radulovich is survived by daughters Diane Berner, Kathy Radulovich and Janet Sweeney; two brothers; stepson Johnny Day, and a grandson.
