Allan Everett Sloane (pseudonym Ellison Carroll) was born in 1914 in New York City (NY). He was a writer for radio, television and films. Although he began his career as a newspaperman in 1936, Allan Sloane became a writer for radio in 1943 (Man behind the gun), later moving to television and films. One area of subject matter for his writing was exceptional children. He once stated that he tried to draw the attention of his audience to the needs of children who were different, and often based the scripts on his own family. Another major subject was World War II, especially the suffering of children and displaced persons in Europe after the war. He traveled in Europe 1947-1949, interviewing and recording persons. This led to the first tape-recorded documentary on American radio (Between the dark and the daylight).
"Luther, Martin. Born Nov. 10, 1483, Eisleben, Saxony [Germany]. Died Feb. 18, 1546, Eisleben. German theologian and religious reformer who was the catalyst of the 16th-century Protestant Reformation. Through his words and actions, Luther precipitated a movement that reformulated certain basic tenets of Christian belief and resulted in the division of Western Christendom between Roman Catholicism and the new Protestant traditions, mainly Lutheranism, Calvinism, the Anglican Communion, the Anabaptists, and the Antitrinitarians. He is one of the most influential figures in the history of Christianity." - Encyclopaedia Britannica Online. (Retrieved September 5, 2008)
