If you grew up watching television on Saturday mornings in the 70s and early 80s, you likely recall that the networks did their best to sneak in a little educational material in between the weekly doses of Super Friends and Scooby Doo. Over on ABC, they chose to teach us about grammar and government, thanks to the ever-popular Schoolhouse Rock. But if you happened to tune into CBS, then you likely remember the name Christopher Glenn (pictured to the left), who kept kids informed of current news events, thanks to a little segment called In the News. Running from 1971 until 1986, In the News enjoyed a respectable fifteen-year run and made us all a little smarter along the way.
