Good morning, it’s Monday, May 24, 2021. On this date in 1844, Samuel Morse sent the first public message via telegraph. It went over the newly installed wire on Capitol Hill to his collaborator, Alfred Vail, who was awaiting the signal at a Baltimore railroad station. The words Morse typed out in the code that bears his name came from the Bible: “What hath God wrought?” It was a fitting message, as much in our time as it was then.

Millard Fillmore and William Howard Taft went to the great Oval Office in the sky in 1874 and 1930, respectively, which is to say before television. Not so with Joltin’ Joe, who died in 1999. We knew his face, just as we knew his exploits as the New York Yankees centerfielder, husband of Marilyn Monroe, and vigilant defender of his legacy as “greatest living ballplayer” -- an unofficial title Joe ...
