Abstract
- The author discusses the time when electronic message or telegram was considered a form of literature that brought news of tragedy during the Vietnam war in the 1950s. Topics covered include the invention of the telegraph by Samuel Finley Breese Morse, several examples of the first telegraphs sent by notable people including Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw, British politician Winston Churchill and American film producer Jesse Lasky, and telegraphs' brevity and conciseness.
