Steven Rubin of Los Angeles started a website, www.ww2daily.com, that chronicles World War 2 day by day. Today, October 23, 2006, he has a newscast as if it were October 23, 1939.

Tom Teicholz writes of Rubin:

"Rubin is having his midlife crisis -- not the bad kind but the good.

Much has been made of the male midlife crisis. Most media depictions of this phenomenon involve the male of the species besotted by small cars with large engines and/or young women with large flotation devices, often mixed together in a combination that disrupts marriages.

While this may be all too real an occurrence, there is a corollary that is rarely reported -- a positive version, where a person (and when I say a "person" I really am referring to someone of the male persuasion) decides to give their life greater meaning by changing not their family life but the content of their life."
