William "Bill" Overstreet, who flew plane through Eiffel Tower, died at age 92. From NPR: In 1944, American fighter pilot William Overstreet of the 357th Fighter Group was on a mission in Nazi-occupied territory. Flying his P-51 Mustang, Overstreet was escorting American bombers through France when a dogfight broke out. Overstreet broke away to pursue an enemy German plane. (...) It's plenty of room to go under the Eiffel Tower.
Ben Tracy on Sara Sareilles. Sara: I swear like a sailor. I enjoy being sassy and crass. "Love Song." Tongue in cheek. Be nasty in a passive/agressive way. "Brave" Did Roar copy Brave? Note: “I can’t say that I think that they don’t sound similar. I’ve known Katy a really long time, and we’re friends.” Bareilles politely stated that the success of “Roar” has only helped her, and she’s glad that people seem to be talking about her song even more these days. “Roar” has “only really [been] good for my song,” she said. “So thank you Katy Perry for that.”

Nancy Giles. Tootsie Pop: how many licks? "Candy Professor." According to Giles, Tootsie goes back to 1896: Leo Hirschfeld. Great Lakes Review does not get much information from Tootsie. Total sales 549 million in 2012. Tootsie factory in Chicago. 62 million tootsie rolls per day.
Sadly, Nancy Giles repeated the questionable story that Tootsies go back to 1896; the evidence against this is the trademark application for "Tootsie" which asserts the first use in commerce was September 1908. The application for Leo Hirschfeld's US Patent No. 903,088 was filed May 18, 1907. See Tootsie Roll Tragedy: The Real Leo Hirschfeld Story and Tough Tootsie, and How It Got To Be That Way.
In 1896 Hirschfeld was not selling Tootsies out of his store. He was a salaried employee of Stern & Saalberg. As trivia, Tootsie was the nickname of Hirschfeld's daughter; Hirschfeld later committed suicide.
[One came away from the Giles piece with the impression that Tootsie is highly secretive. Note that Tootsie vigorously defends its trademark rights, with its first use in commerce in 1908. See Complaint against Snarfdog
From a book review in the New York Times: Today's candy makers can't afford the openness of the old days. Manufacturers have to worry about marketing plans, production technology, advertising budgets, shelf space and takeovers. The result: Consumers in the nineties can get more information out of Dow Chemical Co. than they can out of Tootsie Roll, Hershey, Mars or any of the other 300 confectionery firms that make up America's $14-billion candy market. (...) Ellen Gordon, president of Tootsie Roll Industries, states as fact that her company would have disappeared long ago had she and her husband, company chairman Melvin Gordon, not owned the majority of Tootsie Roll's voting stock.
Mo Rocca interviews Barkhad Abdi of "Captain Phillips". Minneapolis has largest population of Somalis in US. Civil war in Somalia broke out in 1991.
Steve Hartman on Chris Rosotti (diagnosed with ALS). Applied for job as donut delivery man. Plan to steal Krispy Kreme donut truck. Krispy Kreme heard about plan on Facebook and gave Chris use of Krispy truck. If dying taught him anything, it taught him how to live. If I can't impact people, this whole thing is a waste.
Tracy Smith interviews James Carville in New Orleans. Carville teaches at Tulane University. Book Love & War.
[Weather alert for northeast appeared on screen around 10:07am]
Phil Everly discussed by Bill Flanagan. Straight line to Linda Ronstadt and the Eagles. In the 1950s, Simon and Garfunkel, and Lennon and McCartney modeled themselves on the Everly Brothers.

Calendar of events: Havasu Balloon Festival.
