The origin
According to one version about the origin of the balls that you so often see on high-voltage cables, the man below has something to do with it. If you don’t recognize him, don’t worry, he’s the former governor of the US state of Arkansas. You couldn’t have known, of course. The story goes that he was in an airplane in the fifties, and got the fright of his life!
