Jakob Hutter (tortured and burned as a heretic in 1536), still survives,
mostly in the western sections of the United States and Canada and has
a population of about 20,000. In colonies of 60 to 150 individuals, they
operate collective farms (called Bruderhof) and not unlike the Old Order
Amish,
remain aloof from outside society,
taking no part in politics. Children are educated inside the colony until
age 14 or until a minimum age decreed by state or province.
Persecutions drove the Hutterites to Hungary and Ukraine
in the 17th century and to South Dakota U.S. in the 1870s; during World
War I, because of persecution inspired by their pacifism,
they migrated to Canada. After the war many returned to the United States.
Their high annual birth rate (45.9 per 1,000) has necessitated new colonies..comprised

Paul Harvey,
born Paul Aurandt Harvey
September 4, 1918, Tulsa, Oklahoma, U.S., died February 28, 2009, Phoenix,
Arizona.
American radio commentator
Paul Harvey was also a news columnist and was in the Army Air Corps in
1944. Paul and his sister were brought up by their mother after their father
was shot to death under uncertain circumstances. Working for the American
Broadcasting Company (ABC), the show Paul Harvey News and Comment
proved popular in Chicago and went national in 1951. In 1976 the program
spun off The Rest of the Story, about brief biographical narratives
written by the Harveys' only child, Paul Harvey Aurandt, Jr. With this
he reached 24 million listeners via 1,600 radio stations daily. His voice
was one of the most recognizable in the history of radio. Harvey voiced
his opinions on taxes, bloated government and the decay of American values.
Apart from his radio work,
Harvey regularly appeared as a television and newspaper commentator and
published several books, including Remember These Things (1952),
Autumn
of Liberty (1954), You Said It, Paul Harvey (1970) and For
What It's Worth (1991). Harvey returned to the airwaves in late August
2001. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2005.
Videos have been made of
his presentations, one of which is If I Were the Devil. Search on
the Internet for it. You could try here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LWPcEo2gV0
