US Mint & "America the Beautiful" ?
MKW wrote:
How can US Mint claim that when so many other things use that phrase? Postal Commemorative Society copyrighted that name for a set of colorful postal covers issued throughout the 90's?? The phrase "America the Beautiful" appeals to people who like to reduce the concept of patriotism down to sound bites and slogans. Marketers of all kinds, including the USPS and the Mint, know this and exploit it to the fullest extent possible. In my view, it's a shame that the original inspirational poem by Katherine Lee Bates, set to music by Samuel Ward, and later arranged into one of the most magnificent compositions ever for concert band by Carmen Dragon, is so often used to make a buck, but, welcome to America.
