He re­ ceived a B.S. degree from Central Missouri State teachers college in 1928, an M.A. degree from George Peabody college for teachers in 1932, and a Ph.D. degree from the University of Missouri in 1940.

THEY CAME FROM MISSOURI AND THEY SHOWED THE WORLD1 BY IRVING DILLIARD An inventory of distinguished natives of Missouri creates not only an interesting study for Missourians, but at the same time suggests the great strength of American democracy. This study involves a tour around Missouri to note where men or women of distinction for one reason or another were born. To the knowledge of the author, no such inventory of Missouri natives has ever been made before. Adopted sons and daughters do not gain admission to this select company. These are persons who first saw light of day in Missouri. Many of them left the State in child­ hood; many of them came to fame far from Missouri; yet all of them are natives and thus products of Missouri soil. Many villages and hamlets have native sons and daughters to be proud of if they only remembered them. Missourians have written their names in red letters outlined in gold in the arts and the sciences, in literature, the professions, in business, in commerce, in exploration, on battlefields, on the stage, and in sports. The tour is platted on a map which accompanies this study.2 Each spot is a birthplace. The course followed is from Columbia to the northeast, all around the State, and back to Columbia. Leaving Boone county until the end of the tour, the first stop is made in Audrain county at Laddonia, the birth- 1This is a revised version of the address delivered at the annual dinner of the State Historical Society of Missouri, held in Columbia on April 16, 1941. Through the gracious suggestions of interested Missourians, the author has been able to supplement the original itinerary with a number of changes and additions. Those names given here which were not included at the time the address was given have been marked with " *". The author wishes especially to express appreciation for suggestions and information given by Governor Forrest C. Donnell, F. A. Middlebush, Floyd C. Shoemaker, Elmer Ellis, Mrs. Clarice B. Andrews, Henry C. Thompson, Ferd Gottlieb, and Dennis Morrison. 2The map reproduced here was prepared by William A. Knox of the high­ way planning survey, State highway department, Jefferson City, Missouri. The original 52" x 42" map used by Mr. Dilliard in his address was prepared by William A. Byrnes, head of the art staff of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.—Ed.

After his experience as a herder of reindeer on the Bering straits, Snell began to write for juve­ niles, producing sometimes three and four books a year. The next stop is Ashley in Pike county, the birthplace of two McAfee brothers—Lapsley Armstrong McAfee (1864- ), distinguished Presbyterian clergyman, and Cleland Boyd McAfee (1866- ), theologian, lecturer in the Orient, authority on missions, religious teacher, and author of many books on church and religious subjects. Bowling Green is the birthplace of John Franklin Swift (1829-1921), outstanding California merchant, lawyer, and diplomat. A popular speaker and magazine writer, he was the author of a novel of frontier life in Nevada, Robert Greathouse. Bowling Green is also the birthplace of Mis­ souri's senior United States senator, Bennett Champ Clark, born there in 1890. From Bowling Green, the trip is made over to Louisiana, the birthplace of Missouri's thirty-ninth governor, Lloyd Crow Stark (1886- ), also distinguished as a nurseyman and soldier and leader of the movement to remove the bar­ riers to free flow of trade among the states. Louisiana is also the birthplace of the third of the McAfee brothers, Joseph Ernest McAfee (1870- ), a Presbyterian mis­ sionary leader, theological teacher, and community counselor of note. The next stop is near Center in Ralls county, the birth­ place of Henry Jackson Waters (1865-1925), the first stu­ dent in and later dean of the college of agriculture at the University of Missouri, head of the Kansas state agricultural college, food commissioner under Herbert Hoover, and for many years editor of the Kansas City Star. Across from Center in Monroe county is Florida, the birthplace of the most famous of all of Missouri's sons, Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910), known to the world as Mark Twain, the creator of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. When he died, he was one of the great men of letters of the world. The tour next leads west to Paris, birthplace of Thomas Vaughn Bodine (1869-1937), widely known as Tom Bodine, 6 MISSOURI HISTORICAL REVIEW editor of the Paris Mercury, and Mary Margaret McBride (1899- ), a feature writer for eastern newspapers, a con­ tributor to leading womens' magazines, and one of the most popular present-day radio performers. Among her several books is one of recollections of her girlhood around Paris, How Dear to My Heart. The next halt is in Shelby county at Shelbina, birth­ place of Edwin Brewington Parker (1868-1929), inter­ national jurist.

SAVING PRIVACY FROM HISTORY Samantha Barbas* INTRODUCTION We are in the midst of a privacy panic.1 Panicking about privacy is nothing new; we have been worried about privacy and its loss for over a hundred years now, since at least 1890, when Warren and Brandeis wrote The Right to Privacy, the foundational text of the tort law of privacy. 2 Warren and Brandeis envisioned the "right to privacy" as a means to address what were perceived as serious threats to privacy and identity posed by the new media of the day-yellow journalism, gossip columns, and kodak photography. Our privacy concerns are arguably more intense now, and with good reason-new technologies can track our thoughts, movements, and intimacies and expose them to a global audience in an instant. We have very little privacy, and we have not gotten over it.3 It is widely recognized that the tort action proposed by Warren and Brandeis, written into law in most states over the twentieth century, failed to provide the kind of protection against the media that the authors had envisioned.4 As many have convincingly argued, tort pri- vacy is especially inadequate to address the needs of the twenty-first century, when new technologies magnify privacy injuries.5 There have * Associate Professor of Law, State University of New York at Buffalo.
