The Rest of the Story
Bausch & Lomb Founding
by
Read by Paul Harvey
Paul Harvey’s The Rest of the Story turns overlooked details from history and everyday life into brief, revealing radio narratives. Each segment begins with a person, event, or familiar fact and follows an unexpected thread toward the detail that gives the story its meaning.
Harvey’s distinctive delivery is central to the experience: measured, conversational, and carefully paced, with pauses that build anticipation before the concluding revelation. The program blends historical anecdotes, biographical sketches, and curious episodes, presenting them as compact stories rather than extended interviews or discussions.
This installment focuses on the founding of Bausch & Lomb. The series’ appeal lies in its knack for making a small piece of background feel newly significant, while Harvey’s familiar voice gives each account the intimacy of a story told directly to the listener.
