Thomas Edison first experimented with motion picture techniques at his ôBlack Mariaö studio in Menlo Park, New Jersey. The studio, which could be rotated to follow the sun, was completed on February 1, 1893. Edison created a replica of Black Maria at the 1893 ChicagoÆs World Fair, and his film of another exhibitor - renowned belly dancer ôLittle Egyptö - became one of the first successes of early motion pictures. Although Edison is more widely known for other inventions, his pioneering movie-making stands as a unique contribution to the pictorial history of the United States. American, French and British inventors all experimented with motion picture machines in the late 1800s, and success came to several pioneers at the same time. Thomas EdisonÆs discovery did not come until 1889, after George Eastman developed flexible celluloid film. Edison was then able to make what he called a Kinetograph for taking motion pictures, and a Kinetoscope for viewing. In 1894 a Kinetoscope Parlor was opened in New York. The two rows of peep show machines were so successful that rivals began to appear on the scene. A machine to project pictures on a large screen was perfected, which increased the size of audiences and, consequently, brought in more money for the exhibitor. The Mutoscope was an early motion picture machine, a competitor to EdisonÆs Kinetoscope. The Mutoscope, first patented by Samuel D. Goodale in 1861, was a ôpeep showö machine: a single viewer peered in a hole and turned a crank, which rotated a rack of still images. As the images flipped by at high speed, they gained the illusion of motion. The American Mutoscope and Biograph Company was formed to exhibit these ômoving pictures.ö The term biograph referred to the camera, as well as to the projector which was developed to throw the images on the screen.res on a large screen was perfected, which increased the size of audiences and, consequently, brought in more money for the exhibitor. The first motion picture tricks were invented by George Melies, a French magician who saw movies as a mechanical extension of traditional illusion. Melies invented the double exposure, stop action, slow motion, animation, fades and other camera-related optical effects, and filmed stories which used them extensively. Audiences watched this new magic with enthusiasm, and MeliesÆ ideas quickly spread. Years later, special effects helped create such spectacular productions as The Wizard of Oz (1939), Gone With the Wind (1939), The Ten Commandments (1956) and Star Wars (1977).was perfected, which increased the size of audiences and, consequently, brought in more money for the exhibitor. Pre-World War I screen comedy reached its height with Mack Sennett and his Keystone Studio. In SennettÆs world, nothing was sacred; he ridiculed everything. Some of his favorite targets were authority figures, especially policemen. His famous bumbling Keystone Cops were constantly chasing lawbreakers, always with ridiculous results. They chased on foot, in cars, in trains, and on and off every possible means of locomotion. SennettÆs crazy automobile sequences, full of improbable dangers and hair-raising stunts, made audiences roar - and made the car chase a staple of American films.ed, which increased the size of audiences and, consequently, brought in more money for the exhibitor. As movies matured, so did audiences. After World War I, a new ôstar systemö began to emerge. Audiences found that they liked to see a favorite actor again and again in different stories. Studios found that this was an excellent way of drawing people to new films. People went to the movies to watch rip-roaring comedies, adventures, and tragedies - and to see their favorite stars.and off every possible means of locomotion.

Lillian Russell was born Helen Louise Leonard on December 4, 1861 in Clinton, Iowa. After years of vocal training, she made her stage debut as Lillian Russell in New York City. When she portrayed DÆJemma in ôThe Snakeö in 1881, Russell achieved stardom. Over the next few years, she became one of the most popular American stage stars and traveled widely, both in the U.S. and in Europe. She became the personification of the ideal woman: beautiful, graceful and talented. Sarah Bernhardt, born October 22, 1844, became one of the first truly world-renowned actresses. Her career spanned 60 years in France and throughout the world. Known mainly for her stage work, Bernhardt also experimented in early films. A controversial and strong-willed woman, Bernhardt challenged directors and producers over contracts and roles. But her popularity with the public never faded. Mary Pickford was one of the first movie stars with international appeal. She was billed as ôAmericaÆs Sweetheart,ö not only because of her popularity and beauty, but also because she always played the sweet, innocent, lovable young girl. She occasionally tried to break away from this image, but usually gave in to public pressure and returned to the roles for which she was most loved. At the age of 27, in 1920, she played the twelve-year-old ôPollyannaö.and talented. Sarah Bernhardt, born October 22, 1844, became one of the first truly world-renowned actresses.

In the early days of film, actors often took on roles with which they were identified for the rest of their lives. William S. Hart (1870-1946) was the screenÆs first cowboy. Though often seemingly villainous at the start, HartÆs characters proved to have big hearts. Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977) invented the persona of the lovable Little Tramp. Pearl White (1889-1938) gave movie fans a thrill with her escapes in shorts titled The Perils of Pauline.

When Charlie Chaplin first joined the Mack Sennett studio, he was an obscure actor with a vaudeville background who could play any comedy part that came along. After Chaplin invented the Little Tramp, and subsequently adopted the character permanently, he became universally famous. It was said of him, in this character: ôThey found him sly, cruel, pretentious, disdainful, crude, witty. They found a touch of madness in him, and a bottom of hard common sense.

After several years of success, Linder was drafted into the French Army, and became a World War I hero when he was injured by poison gas. However, after his service Linder was unable to recapture his old popularity and moved his career to the United States. He wrote, directed and starred in a series of short features, including Max Comes Across (1917) and Max in a Taxi (1917), developing a subtle style somewhere between slapstick and Charlie Chaplin.

Some London landmarks have barely changed in a century. In 1896, Hyde Park Corner was one of LondonÆs most famous landmarks. Once part of a royal estate, Hyde Park was gradually converted to public use. It became famous for its marble arch at the northeastern park entrance and SpeakerÆs Corner, just south of the arch, which citizens could express their opinions on any (or every) subject. Overlooking Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park lay next to Kensington Gardens, separated only by the Serpentine Lake used for pleasure boating.ewhere between slapstick and Charlie Chaplin.

Only 10 short weeks after it began as a dispute over Cuba, the Spanish-American War ended when a peace treaty was signed in Paris on December 10, 1988. Spain, utterly defeated, ceded the Philippines, Puerto Rico and Guam to the United States, giving America a new overseas empire. American losses were trifling by todayÆs standards: of more than 300,000 American officers and men in the war and its aftermath, 4,462 died. Only 379 were battle casualties; the remaining 4,083 deaths were attributed to disease and other causes. The immediate cost of the war was about $250 million.

New York began as New Amsterdam, a tight little island of 1,000 people living in 120 homes. By 1900, the small town had grown and changed its name to New York. The population was already close to two million, with another 300,000 souls commuting in every work day from places like Brooklyn, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Elevated steam trains were beginning to replace horse-drawn trolleys.

Easter was a big day in New York City of the year 1900. Churchgoers and fashion parade-goers assembled before 9:00 a.m.; so many waited to get into St. PatrickÆs Cathedral that there was not enough room to accommodate them. Easter was spent in the traditional manner: church services followed by a fashion parade up and down Fifth Avenue. There was a lavish display of ribbon, lace and silk, in many shades of green along with blue, lavender and flaming scarlet. Florists declared the demand for flowers was never greater.

Since women in the early 1900s were not willing to make caricatures of themselves for even the short time necessary to take a morning swim, a bathing suit was only a part of the complete bathing outfit. The bathing suit had to have a degree of style and be both serviceable and becoming. Bathing was now an accepted vacation indulgence. When one considers the formality of womenÆs dress, the bathing costumes of 1906 were most revealing, ending daringly at the knees.ists declared the demand for flowers was never greater.

The first streetcars appeared on New York City streets on November 14, 1832. By the early 20th century, construction had begun on what was to be one of the nationÆs first subway systems (which opened in 1904). Trolleys faded away, and so did the popularity of lower Broadway and Union Square as the busy amusement and business areas. Eventually, Times Square became the focal point of entertainment, and businesses moved north on Fifth Avenue.daringly at the knees.ists declared the demand for flowers was never greater.

What grew to become New York CityÆs busy Times Square-Grand Central shuttle, began as the cityÆs first subway line in 1904. It was a 2,700 foot, three-track line. The first subway train ran on October 27, 1904, as the private Interborough Rapid Transit Company. By 1918, 14 years later, a rider could travel the length of Manhattan on the east side or west side, and the crosstown link became superfluous.

Brazilian-born aeronaut Alberto Santos-Dumont in 1898 became the first man to construct and fly a gasoline-motored airship, a cylindrical balloon with a gasoline engine. In 1901, his airship won a prize for making the first flight from St. Cloud, circling around the Eiffel Tower and returning to St. Cloud. The round-trip distance was approximately 4 miles. In 1903, at Neuilly, France, Santos-Dumont established the first airship base, where he kept his dirigibles. He turned to the construction of airplanes in 1905, and in 1906, less than a year after the Wright BrotherÆs first flight, he flew 715 feet (8 seconds) in a box-kitelike airplane.d little war.örk, Bernhardt also experimented in early films.

From 1904 to 1905, the Russians and the Japanese fought a war over control of Manchuria and Korea. Two years of hard fighting exhausted the armies and resources of both countries. JapanÆs ally, Germany, and RussiaÆs allies, the United States and Britain, forced the two nations to negotiate. American President Theodore Roosevelt won the Nobel Peace Prize for mediating the Russo-Japanese peace treaty, which was signed on September 5, 1905 at Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The Treaty of Portsmouth began the end of Russian Czarist power in the Far East and was one of the immediate causes of the Russian Revolution in 1905. The same treaty gave the Japanese a position of a world power and then encouraged its aggressive expansion.nd strong-willed woman, Bernhardt challenged directors and producers over contracts and roles.

In 1904, Vanderbilt drew up the rules for his race: the circuit would be roads, not a track; the distance would be between 250 and 300 miles; and entries would be drawn from all the motoring nations of the world. In Nassau County, just beyond the city limits of New York. VanderbiltÆs men roped off a circuit of public highway about 30 miles around, most of it winding through meadows and forests. Vanderbilt then ordered a solid silver cup from his jeweler, hoping that this display of grandeur would shift the focus of road racing from Europe to Long Island.

Theodore Roosevelt, his son Kermit, and a group of scientists spent 11 months in Africa on a hunting and scientific expedition during 1909 and 1910. Armed with big game rifles and 260 porters and guides, the party collected about 11,000 specimens for the zoological collection of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.

Stock exchanges did not exist until 1773, when London brokers organized one as a place for formal exchange. Prior to that, the brokers met informally in coffee houses.

In 1914, society folk escaped pressures of wintry city life in the sun and sand of Miami, FloridaÆs famed resort. Andrew Carnegie, the steel magnate and philanthropist, was certainly well-qualified to join the crowd. Born November 25, 1835 in Dunfermline, Scotland, Carnegie came to America with his family when he was 13. With little formal schooling, Carnegie worked his way up from a bobbin boy in a cotton factory to one of AmericaÆs richest businessmen. By 1914, Carnegie had retired and was devoting himself to philanthropy, devoting large sums to promote peace and establish educational institutions. Carnegie died in 1919.o Long Island.

In 1915, Czar Nicholas II took personal charge of the Russian Army, leaving the countryÆs political affairs in the hands of his wife, Empress Alexandra Feodorovna. Alexandra was heavily influenced by her personal advisor, the famous ômad monkö Rasputin; his strange power over the Czarina and the household quickly undermined NicholasÆ authority. With the Army tired of war, and political affairs in a shambles, the government fell. Rasputin was assassinated and Nicholas was forced to abdicate on March 15, 1917. Nicholas and his family were held captive in the Czarskoye Selo Palace. With the advance of the 1918 counter-revolutionary forces, his enemies feared that Nicholas might be liberated.

The last emperor of Germany was Kaiser Wilhelm (William II), who lived from 1859-1941. Wilhelm, the cousin of King George V of England and Czar Nicholas II of Russia, dreamed of a similarly powerful German empire. Once he rose to the throne in 1888, the Kaiser eliminated all who stood in his way, among them Otto von Bismarck. It was during WilhelmÆs reign that German colonial expansion began with footholds in China, Africa and islands in the Pacific. Kaiser Wilhelm was certain Germany would emerge victorious from war, and did not hesitate to become involved in World War I.

Eleven days after U.S. Marines helped Panama win its independence from Columbia in 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt negotiated a treaty with the new republic for the construction of the Panama Canal. A 10-mile wide strip across the isthmus was leased in perpetuity to the United States. Construction on the canal began in 1904, supervised by Colonel George Washington Goethals, with as many as 40,000 men digging the ôBig Ditchö at one time. Simultaneously, Dr. William Gorgas, American disease and sanitation expert, supervised a $20 million project to eliminate Yellow Fever in the area.

William Frederick Cody was born in Scott County, Iowa on February 26, 1846. At the age of 13, Cody began work in the Colorado gold fields and the following year, 1860, he became a Pony Express rider. Cody became an army scout and hunted buffalo for railroad camps (where he earned the nickname Buffalo Bill). Cody became a popular figure in the west and was persuaded in 1872 to appear on the stage. Except for some time spent scouting against the Sioux in 1876, Cody spent the rest of his life in show business.

The end of the 19th century was an age of great sentimentality. Pictures, books, customs and manners centered around keepsakes, souvenirs, autographed albums and pillows. The styles of the day reflected this atmosphere: soft embroidery and lace, tucks, ribbons, parasols, plumes, trailing skirts and curved figure lines. Materials of the day included plenty of genuine silk and woolen fabrics. Many colors were used; black was thought to be in especially good taste.

Fashions in the first few years of the 20th century emphasized charm and dignity. Proper dress was formal dress, and although to the modern mind the styles may appear stilted and uncomfortable, the billowing skirts and tiny waists were considered feminine and seductive. Straight-front corsets helped create tiny waists not found in nature, and ruffles were worn to give more emphasis to the full bosom. Skirts swept the floors with elaborate trains.

Every occasion demanded a separate outfit in 1910. The wardrobe of a fashionable woman included breakfast gowns, walking dresses, tea gowns, matinee gowns, evening gowns, traveling coats, dust coats for motoring, bicycling habits and sports suits. The main difference between a gown and a dress was its length. A gown touched the ground and often trailed considerably, while a dress was designed for some form of exercise and was well off the ground, displaying a neat pair of boots or pointed-toed shoes as the occasion demanded.come people paid a seamstress to make, mend and alter their clothes.e U.S. and Europe to great acclaim.total cost of $380 million.

The arrival of the hobble skirt in 1911 did more than create a two-year fashion fad. The emphasis that the skirt placed on the feet suddenly created a demand for stylish womenÆs shoes. Shoes had previously been hidden under the flowing gowns and petticoats that were considered proper, and many shoes for women featured bulky straps and buckles, or ankle-high laces. Another innovation which later played a fashion role in many womenÆs lives, the tailored suit, first gained popularity at this time.

Gentleman Jim Corbett (1866-1933) pioneered a new school of boxing that emphasized technique instead of brawn. He was also a natural-born actor. After taking the heavyweight title from John L. Sullivan in 1892, Corbett made his debut in a play called Gentleman Jack. CorbettÆs manager, William A. Brady, accepted an offer from Thomas A. Edison for the fighter to appear in the first motion picture of a boxing match.

After a few successful bouts, he was introduced to Billy Delaney, manager of heavyweight champion Jim Corbett. Jeffries became a sparring partner for Corbett, who was training for a fight with Bob Fitzsimmons at the time. When Delaney watched Jeffries spar with Corbett, he knew had found a potential champion.

Future heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson was born in Galveston, Texas on March 21, 1878. JohnsonÆs career in the ring lasted an amazing 28 years, from 1899 to 1927. In 1908 Jackson won the heavyweight championship from Tommy Burns, but he was soon widely criticized in America for his marriage to a white woman, as well as for his free-spending habits. Johnson lost the championship to ôwhite hopeö Jess Willard in 1915; in a fight some accused Johnson of losing on purpose.

Burns then proceeded to take on all comers; among them was Billy Squires. Their fight in 1907 was a pushover for Burns. Before many of the spectators had settled down in their seats, Burns stunned Squires with a knockout blow. Still, many fans felt Burns wasnÆt a proper heavyweight champion.

The New York Giants opened the 1906 season with a top-flight club led by their two stars, Christy Mathewson and Roger Bresnahan. Mathewson (1880-1925) won 373 games during his 16-year career and gained a reputation as the finest pitcher in all of baseball. He joined the Giants in 1900 and compiled a 0-3 record that year. He was farmed out to Norfolk because of his poor performance, but was later traded back to the Giants. He went on to win 20 games that year, and in 1903, 1904 and 1905 won 30, 33 and 31 games, respectively. Roger Bresnahan (1897-1944), the first catcher to wear shin guards, was a tough, heady performer who was held in high favor by Giants manager John McGraw because of his strong defensive leadership.e entire Royal family was shot to death in a cellar at Ekaterinburg. with an average speed of 52.2 miles per hour.h the public never faded. The 1908 season ended in a tie between the Giants and the Cubs for the National League championship, the result of a bizarre play on the last day of the season. After Giant hitter Al Birdwell singled in the winning run in the bottom of the ninth, rookie baserunner Fred Merkle ran off the field instead of touching second base. In the wild celebrations that followed, he was tagged out. Due to the chaos, the umpires declared the game a tie; the game would be replayed. If Merkle had touched second, the Giants would have won the pennant. On October 8, 1908, more than 80,000 fans jammed their way into New YorkÆs Polo Grounds for the crucial replay of the final game.

The Baltimore Orioles of the 1890s featured a runt of a third baseman with large, floppy ears named John McGraw (1873-1934). McGraw first played professional baseball in 1890 in the New York-Pennsylvania League. The following year he moved to the Florida League, where he signed an American Association contract which included, ôboard, shaving and washing expenses, and a cigar a week.ö By the time he joined the Orioles (National League) in the 1891 season, he had a reputation as a tough and heady ballplayer who made up for his small size with his strong desire to fight. He is even better known for his great record as a manager with the New York Giants (1902-1932) and Baltimore Orioles (1899-1902). McGraw managed 4,879 games, of which his team won 2,840 and lost 1,984, for a percentage of .589. His teams won the World Series three times.h the public never faded. Tyrus R. Cobb was born on December 18, 1886 in Narrows, Georgia and died on July 17, 1961. CobbÆs 24-year career in baseball spanned the years 1905 to 1928; known as an aggressive competitor, he compiled a lifetime .367 batting average, the highest in baseball history. Honus Wagner was born in Carnegie, Pennsylvania, on February 24, 1874. Wagner looked nothing like a ballplayer. He was short and bowlegged, with huge hands and long arms that made him look somewhat like a ballplaying bear. Yet with Wagner playing the starring role, the Pittsburgh Pirates won three consecutive pennants from 1901-1903. He played in 2,786 games. Walter Johnson was perhaps baseballÆs greatest pitcher. He pitched from 1907 to 1927 with the Washington Senators, winning 416 games while losing 279, even though he rarely pitched for a good club. On Friday, September 4, 1908, pitching for the seventh place Senators, Johnson shut out the New York Yankees, 3-0. He shut them out again on Saturday, 6-0. After a day off on Sunday, Johnson was back on the mound for the final game of the series on Monday. He shut out the New Yorkers again, 4-0. Plenty of the greatest players in baseball history played in its early years. And some of the most exotic names in baseball history were around then, too: Grover Cleveland Alexander; Pie Traynor; ôHome Runö Baker; Jimmy Foxx; Frank Frisch (the ôFordham Flashö), Goose Goslin.

On April 4, 1910, William Howard Taft became the first President of the United States to toss out the ball that opened the baseball season. Nearly every season since that time has opened with a similar event; chief executives as politically disparate as Franklin Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan found common ground at the ball park.

The Indianapolis Speedway Classic was shortened to 300 miles in 1916, because of a shortage of cars (due to the war in Europe) increased the chances that no one might finish a 500-mile race. Twenty-one cars were on hand for the start. The favorite in the race was a man who was to become famous as a flying ace during World War I, Eddie Rickenbacker. At the start, Eddie looked like he intended to live up to his advance notices. But on only the ninth lap, Rickenbacker was forced to leave the race with a broken steering knuckle. Johnny Aiken took the lead until the 45th lap, when Dario Resta passed Aiken. Resta never relinquished the lead thereafter.ps baseballÆs greatest pitcher.

At 5:12 a.m. on April 18, 1906, seismographs around the world began to record a series of devastating shocks centered near San Francisco, California. Water mains snapped, gas pipes exploded, streets buckled and caved in, and fires raging all over the city destroyed property at the rate of $1 million every 10 minutes. By far, the most damaging force was fire; 16 fires roared through the city. The flames remained unchecked until the second day, when fire fighters held the three-mile fire front back with salt water pumped from the bay. In an attempt to stop the flames from spreading, property was dynamited in strategic spots. On the third day, the fire finally went out, leaving four-fifths of San Francisco destroyed, an estimated property loss of $500 million, 452 persons dead, and hundreds of others missing.

William McKinley defeated Democrat William Jennings Bryan in 1896 and again in 1900, pledging a program of continuing prosperity and the full dinner pail. On March 4, 1901, McKinleyÆs carriage was enthusiastically applauded on the way to the Capitol. The crowd welcomed the President and his dynamic, young Vice President Theodore Roosevelt with open admiration. Just six months later, on September 6, McKinley was assassinated by Leon Czolgosz.

William McKinleyÆs first term was marked by the declaration of war against Spain and the subsequent 10-week campaign that ended when Spain ceded Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines to the U.S. The Unites States also acquired Hawaii (1898), Wake Island (1899) and Samoa (1899) upon their annexation. McKinley was reelected in 1900 despite criticism of what some called American imperialism. At the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York on September 6, 1901, McKinley was shaking hands with well-wishers when a young man approached with his hand bandaged. The bandage concealed a pistol, and the man, Leon Czolgosz, shot McKinley twice. The president died eight days later.

Theodore Roosevelt considered the election of 1904 a personal triumph. He received 336 electoral votes to Democrat Alton ParkerÆs 140 and ran ahead of his own party in several states. His greatest desire was to be President on his own - and the American voters told the world that he was no longer a political accident (Roosevelt had become President in 1901, upon William McKinleyÆs death).

In 1908, William Jennings Bryan, known as ôThe Great Commoner,ö became the Democratic presidential candidate for the third time since 1896. Bryan lost the election to his Republican opponent, William Howard Taft, by more than a million votes. He was never a candidate again, but served as Secretary of State under Woodrow Wilson. BryanÆs political career had taken off on July 8, 1896, at the Democratic convention, when Bryan made his famous ôCross of Goldö speech. His speech challenged advocates of the gold standard with the statement: ôYou shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns, you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.ö The performance earned Bryant, then only 36, the partyÆs 1896 presidential nomination on the fifth ballot..öns dead, and hundreds of others missing.

Woodrow Wilson faced two contenders in the campaign of 1912. One was Republican William Howard Taft, the presidential incumbent whose party platform supported stricter regulation of the trusts and a milder protective tariff. The other, more formidable contender was former Republican President Theodore Roosevelt, who had split with his own party. He formed the Progressive (or ôBull Mooseö) Party and again took to the campaign trail, assailing both Taft and Wilson and calling for reforms. Wilson campaigned on ôThe New Freedom,ö a program which held that monopolies were an evil and real threat to free competition and called for their virtual abolition.

In 1912, Theodore Roosevelt, former governor of New York and 26th President of the United States, ran for a third term, representing the Progressive Party as its first presidential candidate. The youngest President ever to take the oath of office, Roosevelt collected a colorful array of nicknames during his political and public life. He was known variously as ôBull Moose,ö ôFour Eyes,ö ôGreat White Chief,ö ôMeddler,ö ôTrust Busterö and ôTypical American.ö Although he had stated that he would not run again after his second term (his first full term) ended in 1908, Roosevelt came to the Republican convention of 1912 eager for another crack at the highest office in the nation. He condemned the nomination of William Howard Taft, joined Robert La Follete with his Progressive Party forces, and accepted the leadership of the new party, nicknamed the ôBull Mooseö party. RooseveltÆs platform was called ôA Contract with the People.ö In the November election, Roosevelt outpolled Taft, but lost to Woodrow Wilson by roughly two million votes. for the final game of the series on Monday.

In 1912, William Howard Taft, Ohio lawyer and 27th President of the United States, became the Republican presidential nominee for the second time in the noisiest and most disorderly convention known up to that time. Teddy Roosevelt, during his own 1904 presidential term, had referred to Taft, his Secretary of War, as ôthe most loveable personality I have ever contacted.ö However, when Taft won the nomination, Roosevelt screamed fraud, denounced the convention, formed his own Progressive Party, and became its first presidential candidate.

As President, he immediately put into action the ôNew Freedom,ö a moderate reform program which aimed to preserve the free enterprise system by making it realistically possible for more people. His Inaugural Address in part said: ôWe have been proud of our industrial achievements, but we have not hitherto stopped thoughtfully enough to count the human cost . . . the fearful physical and spiritual cost to the men and women and children upon whom the dead weight and burden of it all has fallen pitilessly the years through.ö Wilson spoke of cleansing and restoring every process of the American way of life.n of William Howard Taft, joined Robert La Follete with his Progressive Party forces, and accepted the leadership of the new party, nicknamed the ôBull Mooseö party.

There were only about 700 military aircraft and 400 qualified pilots in all of Europe. A year before the United States entered the war, the tiny Lafayette Escadrille, composed of American volunteer fliers, served with the French. By 1918, this small group had grown into the U.S. Air Service, consisting of more than a quarter of a million men. Aviation produced its own leaders, its own heroes, its own brand of hard-shelled romanticism and also its own methods and tactics of war. Brigadier General William Mitchell was a dynamic, enthusiastic believer in air power, well ahead of his time in ideas and vision. Such American fliers as Raoul Lufbery, Eddie Rickenbacker, Frank Luke, and many other quickly became air aces. Their life expectancy was short; most pilots flew without parachutes. Of the 2,698 planes sent to the U.S. zones in Europe, only 1,100 were still flying at the time of the armistice. to Woodrow Wilson by roughly two million votes. for the final game of the series on Monday.

The leaders were Venustiano Carranza, Francisco ôPanchoö Villa and Emiliano Zapata. Upon HuertaÆs resignation (1914), because of U.S. military intervention, Carranza became president. Civil war broke out again, but Carranza managed to regain control (1915). Villa and Zapata continued to lead opposition to CarranzaÆs government. Many of VillaÆs attacks were against the United States, which supported Carranza. In Santa Ysabel (January 10, 1916), VillaÆs band of men attacked and killed 18 American engineers who had been employed by Carranza to put several abandoned mines into operation. Villa also was responsible for several raids outside of the Mexican borders, in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. Though President Woodrow Wilson advocated ôwatchful waiting,ö Congress insisted on American intervention in Mexico. Wilson ordered Brigadier General John ôBlack Jackö Pershing to lead 15,000 men on an expedition into Mexico to capture Villa .ay. He shut out the New Yorkers again, 4-0. On March 9, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson ordered a punitive expedition, led by Brigadier General John J. Pershing, into Mexico to capture renegade general Francisco ôPanchoö Villa. The expedition began on March 15, 1916. 13 days later, PershingÆs troops clashed with VillaÆs band of men. On March 28, Villa was wounded in the leg and fled south with 150 men, leaving the rest of his troops behind. PershingÆs troops chased Villa southward, further into Mexico. But the presence of American troops caused anti-American feelings among Mexicans. President Carranza even ordered his soldiers to attack PershingÆs troops. On February 5, PershingÆs troops were withdrawn.by Carranza to put several abandoned mines into operation. Villa also was responsible for several raids outside of the Mexican borders, in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.

Venustiano Carranza (1839-1920), Mexican President since 1914, had been recognized by the U.S. and some Latin American countries as de facto President in 1915. He aroused opposition from many Mexican unofficial chieftains who feared that he would abandon peasant reform. One of these leaders was Francisco ôPanchoö Villa. Villa may have deliberately attempted to involve Carranza in difficulties with the U.S. government. In January 1916, VillaÆs band was responsible for the massacre of 18 American engineers, whom Carranza had invited to work in some abandoned mines at Santa Ysabel. President Wilson sent a punitive expedition of about 15,000 militia, headed by General John J. Pershing, to Mexico with the objective of capturing Pancho Villa. Villa withdrew deep into Mexico, and the pursuing American troops became an embarrassment to Carranza. American forces eventually withdrew without catching Villa.s insisted on American intervention in Mexico.

On September 6, 1916, six months after General John J. Pershing and his troops were ordered to the Mexican border, an American-Mexican joint commission attempted to end the dispute. The commission convened in New London, Connecticut, and negotiated the withdrawal of U.S. troops and a joint, though separate, border security arrangement. The protocol was signed by the joint commission at Atlantic City, N.J. on November 24, but President Carranza of Mexico refused to accept its terms (December 8). On February 5, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson ordered the withdrawal of American troops from Mexico. On February 15, 1917, the War Department issued orders for the demobilization of 150,000 troops stationed along the Mexican border.

The birthplace of Abraham Lincoln in Hodgenville, Kentucky, was a 1916 gift to the federal government. Deed of ownership was presented to Newton D. Baker, a member of President Woodrow WilsonÆs cabinet, in 1916. Abraham Lincoln National Park includes 117 acres of land surrounding the log cabin birthplace of President Lincoln.

The brutal stalemate of trench warfare in World War I was primarily the result of new machine guns. The machine gun provided firepower which far outpaced the mobility of infantry. Suddenly, sheer numbers no longer promised success. Old tactics were worthless in the face of new technology, a fact discovered through hundreds of thousands of casualties. Not until the development of the tank, along with new fighting tactics, was the bloody stalemate broken.th Malice Toward None, With Charity For All.öary 5, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson ordered the withdrawal of American troops from Mexico.

At the start of 1916, after 16 months of fighting, the Russians had lost 3.4 million men and were short of weapons at the front. The tattered Russian ranks were refilled with recruited peasants, and in 1916 Russia undertook its last great offensive of the war, breaking through Austrian lines and taking 200,000 prisoners. But Germans reinforced the Austrian. lines, and the Russian tide was halted. Another million lives were spent in desperate counterattacks before the final defeat of the Russian army. In Greece, the French and Serbian troops started a limited offensive. In hard fighting over 8,000-foot peaks and up the Monastir Gap, they broke through the Bulgarian First Army line. They captured Monastir after an advance of about 25 miles in almost perpendicular country.

By 1916, German submarine warfare was destroying more than ships: it was destroying AmericaÆs official policy of neutrality. The outcry over the sinking of the Lusitania (May 7, 1915) had led to a pledge from GermanyÆs Kaiser Wilhelm that passenger liners would no longer be attacked without a warning. But the German High Command concluded that destruction of Allied supply lines was more important than public relations. German submarine attacks continued, often without warning. American public opinion shifted; on April 6, 1917, the United States declared war on Germany. hard fighting over 8,000-foot peaks and up the Monastir Gap, they broke through the Bulgarian First Army line.

The Boston Red Sox took command early and never let up in beating the Brooklyn Dodgers, four games to one, to win the 1916 baseball World Series. The Dodgers, led by Manager Wilbert Robinson, had advanced to the Series by winning their first pennant in 16 years; the Red Sox, led by Manager Bill Carrigan, had in that time won three championships ( in 1903, 1912, and 1915). Red Sox experience showed as the games were played out between October 7 and October 12, 1916.

The 16th Republican National Convention, meeting in Chicago on June 7, 1916, faced a problem: how to find a presidential candidate acceptable to the party regulars who would still stand a chance of winning the support of Teddy RooseveltÆs ôBull Mooseö Progressives, who had left the G.O.P. in 1912. The obvious choice would have been Roosevelt, but the Party could not bring itself to name the man who had divided the Republicans in the last election. The political candidate who was most acceptable to both sides was Charles Evans Hughes. Hughes, as a member of the United States Supreme Court, had not taken sides in the party civil wars in 1912.

Charles Evans Hughes had the strengths and weaknesses one might expect from a former judge: he was scholarly and impressive on a speakerÆs platform, but he lacked fire. If hard work were enough, Hughes should have become president in 1916; he toured the continent and campaigned tirelessly until the election. The voters, however, felt uncomfortable with the candidateÆs austere appearance and academic approach. Hughes lacked the common touch; Teddy Roosevelt reportedly referred to him as ôthe bearded lady.ö Still, the election was so close that Hughes went to bed on election night, November 7, 1916, believing that he was the new president.

President Woodrow Wilson campaigned for reelection in 1916 on an anti-war but pro-preparedness platform. The Democratic slogan, ôHe kept us out of war,ö was especially appealing to women who had already secured the vote in some Western states. Rough Rider Teddy Roosevelt attacked Wilson as the leader of ôflapdoodle pacifistsö who were too timid to fight. After the Germans torpedoed the Lusitania, Wilson scored a diplomatic victory when he secured the KaiserÆs pledge not to sink any more passenger ships without warning, providing that those ships offered no resistance. WilsonÆs recent marriage to Edith Bolling Galt enhanced his popularity with the public.

Before a capacity crowd at the Yale Bowl in New Haven, Connecticut, the fighting Elis squeezed out a dramatic 6-3 victory over an equally determined Harvard team in the 1916 edition of footballÆs grandest rivalry. Not since 1909 had a Yale team been able to beat the Crimson, and a Yale player had not crossed the Harvard goal line since 1907. In the last four encounters prior to this 1916 meeting, Harvard had outscored Yale by 112-5, winning by a 36-0 count the last time the teams met in New Haven in 1914. But this day was YaleÆs as they turned back every Harvard touchdown drive and gave the huge crowd a long-remembered thrill when Joe Neville scored the winning touchdown to end the long drought.

The inauguration of Woodrow Wilson for his second term as president of the United States was of much less importance than the events immediately preceding and following it. The inaugural address was brief. The president, accompanied by his second wife, the former Edith Bolting Galt, was the last president to ride to the ceremony in a carriage. Inauguration Day was March 5, 1917, rather than March 4, because the 4th was a Sunday. The oath was administered by Chief Justice Edward Douglass White for the second time. The Inaugural Address was completely overshadowed by the PresidentÆs messages to Congress a month before. On February 3, 1917, Wilson had asked for a severance of diplomatic relations with Germany. One month after the inauguration, on April 2, 1917, Wilson called for a Declaration of War. Ironically, if he had been defeated, Mr. Wilson had made plans to turn over the presidency to Charles Evans Hughes immediately after the November election, without waiting for the inaugural in March. In a letter to Secretary of State Robert Lansing, written two days before the election, Wilson revealed his concerns regarding foreign affairs. He felt that they demanded that the elected President, whoever he might be, take immediate charge of U.S. policy. If Mr. Hughes had been elected, Wilson planned to appoint him Secretary of State, at which time Wilson and his vice president would resign. Hughes, as Secretary of State and next in line for the presidency at that time, would have assumed the office of the presidency immediately. Although in 1915 President Wilson had proclaimed AmericaÆs neutrality in the war, Germany declared the British Isles a war zone and warned that any neutral craft that entered the zone would do so at her own risk. On May 7, 1915, the British liner Lusitania was sunk off the Irish Coast without warning by a German submarine. 128 Americans were lost. Early in 1917, German assaults against all neutral and belligerent shipping were renewed. When an American ship was sunk without warning, Wilson broke off diplomatic relations with Germany. On April 2, 1917, President Wilson asked Congress for a declaration of war, condemning German submarine policy as ôwarfare against mankindö and stating that the ôworld must be made safe for democracy.öguration, on April 2, 1917, Wilson called for a Declaration of War.

When the U.S. declared war on Germany on April 6, 1917, it had a powerful navy but virtually no army. Millions of men had to be conscripted and trained. Because there had been little preparation for the war effort, munitions, factories, tanks, guns, and even rifles had to be supplied by Britain and France. The United States had counted on peace and isolationism. It was suddenly faced with the necessity of training and equipping a whole army to send overseas, retooling its factories, and whipping up the American populace to accepting war on soil other than its own.son asked Congress for a declaration of war, condemning German submarine policy as ôwarfare against mankindö and stating that the ôworld must be made safe for democracy.öguration, on April 2, 1917, Wilson called for a Declaration of War.

On June 13, 1917, Major General John Joseph ôBlack Jackö Pershing arrived in Boulogne, France with a headquarters contingent of 178 men. Two weeks after PershingÆs arrival, on June 25, 1917, the first combat troops arrived in Saint-Nazaire. They represented about half of the 1st Division and the 5th Marine Regiment. By the end of the year, the United States had four divisions (100,000 men) in Europe. Pershing and French commander Marshal Henri Petain reviewed the troops together.

Upon enlisting in the U.S. Army in 1917, race car driver Eddie Rickenbacker (1890-1973) was assigned to drive Colonel William ôBillyö MitchellÆs car. With the help of Col. Mitchell, he was assigned to the Primary Flying School at Tours, France. Rickenbacker went into combat with the famed 94th Aero Pursuit Squadron, the first American aero unit to fight on the Western Front. Rickenbacker attained his first flying victories against the German ace Manfred von Richthofen and his ôflying circus.ö By the end of the war, the 94th Squadron had shot down 69 enemy planes; of these, Rickenbacker himself was credited with 26.ng German submarine policy as ôwarfare against mankindö and stating that the ôworld must be made safe for democracy.öguration, on April 2, 1917, Wilson called for a Declaration of War.

Because the French army needed rest and recuperation, French Marshal Henri Petain told the British that they would have to shoulder the main burden on the Western Front until American forces arrived. When the British took over, the offensive in Flanders began with a carefully prepared assault on a nine-mile front. Nearly 17 days of intense bombardment, assisted by British aircraft, preceded the attack. The British won the battle beneath the ground, above the ground, and in the air. But another battle began in late July, when the Germans re-formed their line and brought up reserves. The battle was fought in mud so deep that it drowned men and animals. For the first time, the Germans used a blistering, burning chemical called mustard gas. The British lost at least 245,000 men, nearly twice that of the Germans..had made plans to turn over the presidency to Charles Evans Hughes immediately after the November election, without waiting for the inaugural in March.

French General Robert Georges Nivelle had convinced the French government in 1917 that a ruthless and violent offensive could break German lines. But the Germans moved fast in retreat, and established the so-called Siegfried Line. German defensive positions on the Siegfried Line were extremely strong. Nivelle was not discouraged; he even discussed the forthcoming battles at a London dinner party. Before long, the Germans knew as much about what was impending as Nivelle did. NivelleÆs main effort was launched April 16, 1917, at Aisne and Champagne. This much-advertised, ôend-the-war breakthroughö came to a dead halt on the first day.

The Liberty Bond was created by the government to help finance the First World War. Created shortly after war was declared, these interest-bearing bonds (like U.S. Savings Bonds) were sold in schools, from door-to-door and in loan drives. In New York City, tens of thousands of bonds were sold October 24 - 25, 1917, in observance of Liberty Day. 20,000 marched in a parade and pageant that day to stimulate people to buy.

In 1898, Pershing was a captain and served in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. He went to the Philippines as adjutant general and battled the Moro insurgents in 1903. In 1915, Pershing was sent to the Mexican border, and in 1916 pursued ôPanchoö Villa in an effort to capture him. Pershing was unsuccessful, but in 1917 he was named commander of the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) which was sent to Europe when the U.S. entered World War I. Known fondly as ôBlack Jack,ö Pershing insisted on his American troops fighting as a unit, rather than being split up to serve as replacements for depleted British and French troops. Congress rewarded Pershing in 1919 by giving him the title General of the Armies, the first man to hold the title since George Washington. From 1921 to 1924, Pershing served as army chief of staff and then retired. to Charles Evans Hughes immediately after the November election, without waiting for the inaugural in March.

In 1917, England had been at war with Germany for three years. It was a deadly war of hand-to-hand combat, with artillery shrapnel and poison gas leaving many disabled as each side tried to wear the other down. The total British fighting force of 8,904,467 men suffered 3,190,235 killed and wounded - a casualty rate of over 35%. To help bolster the sinking morale of the English people, and to show their appreciation and affection for the wounded soldiers, King George V and Queen Mary made frequent personal appearances at hospitals and war plants.his American troops fighting as a unit, rather than being split up to serve as replacements for depleted British and French troops.

Approximately 530,000 German prisoners were captured in World War I. Nearly 400,000 Germans were sent to prisoner of war (P.O.W.) camps in Russia; 78,500 were sent to camps in France; 40,800 were sent to camps in England. The P.O.W. camp in Dorchester, England housed 20,000 prisoners from 1914 through 1917.

Barney Oldfield was already famous as the first man to drive a mile a minute, when he developed a new, sleek car he called the Golden Submarine. In a series of three races on August 18, 1917 at Sheepshead Bay Speedway in New York, Oldfield drove his Golden Submarine against Ralph De Palma and Louis Chevrolet. With an airplane engine and a body made of steel ribs covered in aluminum, Oldfield believed that his new car was not only the fastest but the safest. Unfortunately, it also turned out to be the slowest. Oldfield drove the Golden Submarine in only the first two races, coming in last both times. Oldfield switched to his green Delage auto in the third contest, winning second place, ahead of Chevrolet. Ralph De Palma triumphed in all three races. ies, the first man to hold the title since George Washington.

Louis Chevrolet, driving a Frontenac, won the Harkness Trophy race at Sheepshead Bay Speedway in Brooklyn, N.Y., on September 22, 1917. He averaged 111 miles an hour in the 100-mile race, which he completed without making a pit stop - also a record. Ralph De Palma came in second place, dragging more than a lap behind Chevrolet. De Palma, racing a Packard, had to stop near the halfway point to change his two front tires, which had blown out on a turn. Chevrolet smashed the worldÆs record for the 100-mile race in 54:20.98.

Probably at no time in the history of American fashion have clothes been so typically an American product. Styles of dress still originated in Paris and London but were avidly copied at home. The GodeyÆs Ladies Book and Magazine was the first fashion book and stylesetter for the American woman. Clothes were made at home by the woman of the house with the help of a more-or-less professional seamstress. The home sewing craze was due in part to the invention and accepted use of the sewing machine, and also due to the availability of dress patterns.

The exciting World Series which opened on October 6, 1917 was a seesaw affair all the way. The Chicago White Sox, managed by Clarence ôPantsö Rowland, won the first two games at home. The New York Giants, managed by the legendary John McGraw, evened things up with successive shutout victories pitched by Rube Benton and Ferdie Schupp at their home park, the Polo Grounds. The Sox clinched the series with 8-5 and 4-2 victories in the fifth and sixth games (October 13 and October 15).

World War I was already raging in Europe when the U.S. Navy began making its own preparations for AmericaÆs entry into the war effort. GermanyÆs unrestricted submarine warfare in the Atlantic was already taking its toll on American ships and lives. Josephus Daniels, secretary of the Navy, asked Congress for a $350 million appropriation for new ships. And America devised the convoy system, in which ships travelled in groups for greater safety. Though opposed by the British Admiralty, the system was instituted in the early summer of 1917. New naval construction focused on destroyers and submarine chasers to combat the German subs. By the end of the war, over 800 vessels were being used in the convoy system and the U.S. Navy had grown to some 2,000 ships and over 500,000 men.ld the title since George Washington.

By early 1917, Russian troops in World War I had suffered millions of casualties without making any headway. Opposition to the Czar Nicholas II finally grew into open revolt in March, 1917 (February in the old Russian calendar). The February Revolution began in Petrograd (now St. Petersburg) with strikes and riots. Soldiers joined the revolution when Nicholas dissolved RussiaÆs parliament, the Duma, on March 11. The Duma refused to split, instead establishing a provisional government. On March 15, Nicholas abdicated at army headquarters in Pskov. ôMay God help Russiaö was his prayer and epitaph. He and his family were imprisoned. A year later, the Czar and his family were put to death by the new Bolshevik rulers.

With Czar Nicholas II overthrown, the Russian Revolution of 1917 became a struggle for power. It was a clash between the relatively moderate liberals of the Duma, or parliament, and the WorkersÆ and SoldiersÆ Council, or Soviets, established by the Socialists. Alexander Kerensky emerged as the leader of the moderate Socialists and of a provisional government. Vladimir Lenin, a former leader of the radical Russian Bolsheviks, had been in exile for 11 years for illegal revolutionary activities. Now the Germans allowed Lenin to travel in a sealed car from Switzerland through Germany to Russia, where he joined fellow radicals Leon Trotsky and Josef Stalin. The great conspiracy was launched. In the October Revolution, what remained of the old Russia went down in defeat. The Bolsheviks overthrew KerenskyÆs government, and installed their own headed by Lenin as Premier and Trotsky as Foreign Minister.

General conscription (ôthe draftö) was introduced in America in 1917. By the end of World War I, over 2.8 million men were inducted into the American armed forces. Including volunteers, over 4 million men served in the Army. On October 15, 1917, the first shot was fired by American troops in France. Early in November, the first American soldiers died in action. Of the 4,734,991 men in American military service from 1917 to 1918, 4,057,101 served in the Army, 599,051 in the Navy, and 78,839 in the Marines.

Although the first U.S. troops arrived in France on June 26, 1917, it was not until the following year at the Battle of Chateau-Thierry that the young, green Americans made any impact. On May 31st, a machine-gun battalion of the 3rd U.S. Division, made up of young and inexperienced troops, started digging gun emplacements on the south bank of the Marne River. They had just enough time to sight their 17 guns before the Germans came up. In brisk action, the Germans tried to cross the River Marne, but the American Division held them back. Simultaneously, the U.S. 2nd Division, a combination of Army regulars and Marines, emerged on the Paris road to beat back a three-day German assault with rifle and machine-gun fire. The Americans had given convincing proof that they could fight, and the whole Marne front was infected with hope. On June 3, 1918, the advancing Germans drove the French out of Belleau Wood. The U.S. 2nd Division was rushed up to plug the gap in the French line. Testing the newcomers, the Germans stormed through the waist-high winter wheat. The Americans held the line and the Germans gave them the nickname Teufelhunde (Devil Dogs). By stopping the Germans at Chateau-Thierry, and then retaking Belleau Wood, the Americans made it possible for the Allies to mount a counteroffensive.ed to appoint him Secretary of State, at which time Wilson and his vice president would resign. Hughes, as Secretary of State and next in line for the presidency at that time, would have assumed the office of the presidency immediately. Many heroes emerged from the wreckage of World War I; three of the most prominent were Georges Clemenceau, Newton Baker, and Leonard Wood. Clemenceau (1841-1929) was known by friend and foe as ôthe Tiger.ö During his first three years of World War I, he criticized French leaders for their ôdefeatismö in conducting the war. Upon his return to the premiership of France in 1917, he inspired a renewal of morale, and led the country to victory. Newton Baker (1871-1937) served as Woodrow WilsonÆs Secretary of War from 1916 to 1919. An ardent pacifist, Baker nonetheless devoted himself to his mission and was rewarded by the successes of American soldiers in the field and the respect of the American people. Major General Leonard Wood (1860-1927) had once helped Teddy Roosevelt create the Rough Riders of 1898. Between 1914 and 1917, his outspoken support of U.S. preparedness and civilian training camps conflicted with WilsonÆs policy, but it was of invaluable benefit when war came. Still, because he had clashed with Wilson, Wood was refused a commission in Europe. Americans held the line and the Germans gave them the nickname Teufelhunde (Devil Dogs).

With the onset of World War I, women left their homes to join the commercial work force, changing their social status and increasing their awareness of the world. With over four million men in American armed forces during World War I, many women took jobs in factories, helping to make explosives; armaments; machine tools, farm implements; and railway, automobile and airplane parts. Taboos and restrictions against women working in a manÆs world began to crumble. The changes helped blaze the trail for the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, and in 1920 American women voted for president for the first time.arded by the successes of American soldiers in the field and the respect of the American people.

With great parades and grand slogans, America entered World War I on April 6, 1917. The United States went into the war with a standing army of about 200,000 men. President Woodrow Wilson preferred a volunteer army. But not enough volunteers came forward to enlist, so the President accepted conscription as a necessary evil. To build and train the citizen army, the Selective Service began conscripting men from 21 through 30 years of age. Volunteers and draftees were trained at 16 camps, with a capacity of 48,000 for each camp. These camps had been constructed in a period of only four months in various parts of the United States.merican soldiers in the field and the respect of the American people.

Shortly before 3 a.m. on November 11, 1918, the Associated Press flashed the news of the Armistice to New York City. Lights on the Statue of Liberty blazed. Sirens screamed. Ships and tugs whistled, lit up, and ran up their flags. The racket woke a sleeping city. People ran out of their houses with noisemakers. They jammed the subways and streetcars. Motorists stuck in heavy traffic blew their horns nonstop. Strangers kissed and hugged and sang arm in arm. People wept and prayed. The cheering, rattling, whistling, praying, and crying went on well into the next morning. Four years of bitter conflict had come to an end.

At exactly 11 a.m. on November 11, 1918, guns in the European battlefields stopped abruptly. German and Allied soldiers stood upright in the trenches, leaped from their mudholes, and walked toward each other to embrace and cheer as they exchanged cigarettes, chocolate, chewing gum, bread, and sausage. Paris was curiously quiet until the fighting actually ceased and the announcement of the Armistice was officially released. Only after Premier ClemenceauÆs proclamation before the Chamber of Deputies did Parisians break out flags and began to rejoice and dance. People surged through the city from the Arc de Triomphe to the Place de lÆOpera. They jammed Montmartre and filled the cafes with song.

President Woodrow Wilson made his Armistice proclamation from the White House at 10 a.m. on November 11, 1918. Shortly after noon, he rode down Pennsylvania Avenue, amid an immense ovation, to address Congress. During the afternoon he reviewed the United War Work Campaign parade and appeared five times before jubilant crowds. It was a day of personal joy for the president. Wilson had made the Armistice possible when in January, 1918, he set forth his so-called Fourteen Points.

At 5:00 a.m. on November 11, 1918, the Armistice was officially signed, and all hostilities ceased within six hours. Erzberger, the German head of the Armistice Commission, had requested a meeting with Marshal Foch, head of the French Armistice contingent. The signing at the front took place in a railway carriage at Rethodes in the forest of Compiegne. Erzberger handed the declaration to Marshal Foch.

The Leviathan was built in 1914 and, at 950 feet, was the biggest ship in the world at the time. The Leviathan had made only a few voyages when World War I started. Along with other luxury liners, she was immobilized until the U.S. military took her over in 1917. In all, the Leviathan transported more than 200,000 Yanks to and from the battlefields of Europe.

Federal participation in civil aviation began on May 15, 1918, as the Post Office Department inaugurated the first regular airmail service between Washington, Philadelphia, and New York. The first trip was a comedy of errors. Before the flight got off the ground, embarrassed post office officials discovered that the first airmail stamps pictured a plane flying upside down. At the airport, as photographers snapped pictures of President Woodrow Wilson and government dignitaries, the pilot vainly tried to start the plane. After a careful search, the problem was discovered: no fuel in the tank. The plane finally took off - in the wrong direction. Hours later, the pilot phoned from nearby Maryland that he was lost.Leonard Wood (1860-1927) had once helped Teddy Roosevelt create the Rough Riders of 1898.

In a test of American-built aircraft, Gaston Chevrolet drove a 135-horsepower Frontenac automobile while Lieutenant Meany, from the U.S. Army, piloted a 80-horsepower Thomas Moore scout plane. Lieutenant Meany took the lead in the 4-1/2 mile race after the first lap and held it to the end. To climax his victory, Meany came down in a nose dive, but he began his descent too near the ground.

President Wilson was greeted by flower-tossing well-wishers in London, Milan, Rome, and Paris en route to the Paris Peace Conference at Versailles in 1919. He was welcomed as the hero whose ôFourteen Pointsö would bring a just peace to a war-ravaged continent. Once the conference was called to order on January 18, however, the idealistic Wilson immediately clashed with hard-headed politicians from the European countries, most of whom were entangled in secret agreements of their own. WilsonÆs pleas for decent and humane treatment of the conquered nations went unheeded as the victors argued for a vengeful, harsh settlement and eagerly divided the spoils of the war. Little by little, other diplomats whittled away at the Fourteen Points; Wilson, his health beginning to crack, compromised one point after another, clinging always to the Covenant of the League of Nations, which he hoped would repair any damage structured within the treaty itself.able benefit when war came.

On November 1, 1919, Acting President John Llewellyn Lewis of the United Mine Workers led 400,000 miners in a five-week strike that crippled the bituminous coal industry, and the nation as well. The strike was in direct defiance of a court injunction against such action. President Woodrow Wilson denounced Lewis as the dictator of an unlawful strike. It was John L. LewisÆ first clash with a United States president; he battled with every succeeding president through Dwight Eisenhower. On December 11, President Wilson and Attorney General Palmer presented Lewis with a proposal that would send the miners back to work. The proposal included a 14 percent wage increase for the miners, who were earning $2.00 a day, and a commission to work out other questions in the dispute such as working hours, and health and safety standards.

The bodies of 113 American soldiers and sailors who had died during the United States intervention at Archangel, Russia, arrived in New Jersey on November 12, 1919. After the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, foreign powers, including the U.S., sent expeditionary forces to fight against the new Russian government. The Russians succeeded in driving out American, British, French, and Japanese troops. Former American diplomat George F. Kennan later maintained that the intervention was based not on distrust of the Bolshevik regime but on the threat of a new German offensive on the Western Front after RussiaÆs withdrawal from the war.

President Wilson returned home from the Paris Peace Conference to a hostile Republican Senate which quickly blocked ratification of the Paris treaty. Although Wilson himself had been disappointed in the treaty, it still contained provision for a League of Nations, and it was on this point that Wilson placed his hope for the peace of the world. Wilson felt that America must accept the League of Nations or live with a gun in its hand. Against the advice of his personal physician, his wife, and other advisors, Wilson set out on a coast-to-coast speaking tour to gain support for his cause in hopes of overriding the Senate. He made 37 speeches in 22 days in 17 states, trailed by his enemies who spoke wherever he had passed and who attracted larger audiences and more applause than he did.

In 1914, George Herman ôBabeö Ruth was signed by the Baltimore Orioles, but was later sold to the Boston Red Sox. For the next four years, Ruth proved to be not only a fine hitter but an excellent pitcher. In the 1916 and 1918 World Series, Ruth threw 29 2/3 scoreless innings. He was transferred to the outfield in 1919 and hit 29 home runs, a record. Because Boston had financial troubles, Ruth was sold to the New York Yankees for $125,000 and a $350,000 loan. At that time, the Yankees were a struggling ball club that played out of the Polo Grounds, home of the N.Y. Giants. The acquisition of the Babe in 1920 changed that.

In 1919, the Chicago White Sox, champions of 1917, but sixth-place finishers in 1918, came back under the leadership of Kid Gleason to win the American League title. The Cincinnati Reds, under Pat Moran, had won their first National League flag, beating out the N.Y. Giants by nine games. The World Series between the two teams developed into scandal. Eight White Sox stars were charged with conspiring with gamblers to throw the games. Although there were suspicions of trouble during the series itself, the full story did not break until nearly a year later.

Ostriches were little more than an ornithological oddity to most Americans, until a fashion trend changed everything.

At the start of the 1900s, most women remained focused on the home. Few jobs, and few sports, were considered ladylike enough to turn a womanÆs attention away from man and home. During the next 20 years, there were many changes. In 1916, Congress got its first woman representative, Jeannette Rankin from Montana. As men became soldiers and marched off to fight, women donned overalls and took over a variety of tough jobs. Touring female stars like Lillian Russell and Sarah Bernhardt were well-received. Bathing suits showing bared arms and knees were seen on the beaches.

In the modest past, face powder was the only allowable addition to the natural beauty of a woman. Just prior to 1920, a small amount of rouge had been added to the cheeks. Now in the daring decade of the 1920s, lipstick came into universal and even mascara and eyeshadow were worn with evening clothes. The Flapper appeared. She was a daring and revolutionary teenager, who flaunted mannish clothing and wore felt hats at rakish angles. For perhaps the first time in history, women appeared in the street without hats, coats, or gloves.ettes continued to battle for the right to vote.r life: Joe Jackson, Oscar Felsch, Arnold Gandil, George Weaver, Charles Risberg, Fred McMullin, Eddie Cicotte, and Claude Williams.pplause than he did.

In April of 1919, the 1920 Summer Games were awarded by the Olympic committee to Belgium as a gesture of appreciation to the nationÆs heroics during World War I. The Games of Antwerp were officially opened by King Albert of Belgium on August 15.

Post-World War I America was beset by a cycle of industrial failures, unemployment, and strikes. Fanned by bombings by a handful of extremists, the country soon was in the throes of an anti-Communist hysteria that equated foreign birth or communist beliefs with violent anti-Americanism. The William J. Burns Detective Agency estimated at one point that there were 422,000 native communists in America. The National Security League estimated that there were 600,000. On January 1, 1920, government agents, local police, and volunteer aides swooped down on 10,000 suspects in 33 cities in a coast-to-coast roundup of suspected communists. life: Joe Jackson, Oscar Felsch, Arnold Gandil, George Weaver, Charles Risberg, Fred McMullin, Eddie Cicotte, and Claude Williams.pplause than he did.

Back as far as the 1920s, Havana was the place for American vacationers to take respite from the pressures of work. HavanaÆs appeal was further enhanced by American prohibition. The Cuban city was close enough to home, yet different enough in atmosphere and entertainment, to offer an ideal getaway. Gambling was legal, horse racing was a national pastime, and a general atmosphere of conviviality, plus all the alcohol one could drink, were all conducive to making Havana the major resort spot for Americans in the early 1920s.teer aides swooped down on 10,000 suspects in 33 cities in a coast-to-coast roundup of suspected communists. life: Joe Jackson, Oscar Felsch, Arnold Gandil, George Weaver, Charles Risberg, Fred McMullin, Eddie Cicotte, and Claude Williams.pplause than he did.

Sir Thomas LiptonÆs Shamrock IV won the opening race of the 1920 AmericaÆs Cup competition on July 15, crossing the finish line in 4 hours, 24 minutes, 58 seconds. It was the first time since 1871 that a British yacht had won an AmericaÆs Cup race. The American yacht Resolute was put out of commission just as she was nearing the outer mark, nearly a third of a mile in the lead of her adversary the Shamrock IV. Resolute came back over the next 12 days to win three of the final four races, and America remained the keeper of the famous AmericaÆs Cup.n 10,000 suspects in 33 cities in a coast-to-coast roundup of suspected communists. life: Joe Jackson, Oscar Felsch, Arnold Gandil, George Weaver, Charles Risberg, Fred McMullin, Eddie Cicotte, and Claude Williams.pplause than he did.

On October 16, two weeks before the presidential election of 1920, more than 30,000 World War I veterans paraded up Fifth Avenue in New York City to publicize their demands for a soldierÆs bonus. One hundred thousand spectators lined the curbs to cheer the marching cavalry officers, infantrymen, and artillerymen, most of whom appeared in uniform, although many wore civvies and odd campaign hats. The bonus bill, giving veterans special compensation for service in World War I, was vetoed by the new President, Warren G. Harding, but passed in 1924 over the veto of President Calvin Coolidge.t-to-coast roundup of suspected communists. life: Joe Jackson, Oscar Felsch, Arnold Gandil, George Weaver, Charles Risberg, Fred McMullin, Eddie Cicotte, and Claude Williams.pplause than he did.

The three most prominent American automobile designers and builders in 1920 were Fred Duesenberg and the Chevrolet brothers, Louis and Gaston. All three men were determined to end the monopoly which European cars had enjoyed in the big race - the Indianapolis 500 - since 1913. Gaston was the one who turned the trick as he raced a Monroe machine, which his brother Louis had designed, to victory in the 1920 Indianapolis classic.

The Sinn Fein (Gaelic for ôwe, ourselvesö) movement was organized by Arthur Griffith and devoted to the ideal of complete independence for Ireland, rather than merely a separate Parliament as advocated by one of the early Irish Patriots, Charles Stewart Parnell. The Sinn Fein movement began with passive resistance to all things British. The movement grew in strength until the spirit of Irish nationalism erupted into the Easter Rebellion of 1916. This revolt was suppressed by England and a military occupation of Ireland developed into guerrilla warfare by 1918. The Irish Free State was declared in 1920.

The 17th Republican Party Convention, held in Chicago in 1920, chose as its presidential nominee, Warren G. Harding of Ohio. Although he was a handsome, six-foot newspaper publisher and senator, Harding was an inconspicuous politician. Competing for the nominations were nine contenders, and Harding was stringing along in sixth place at the end of the ninth ballot. Harding, the ôdark horse,ö was named the Republican candidate on the 10th ballot after party leaders had convened in the famous ôsmoke-filled roomö at the Blackstone Hotel.

When the Democratic Party met in convention on June 28, 1920, at San Francisco, California, they, like the Republicans, did not have an outstanding candidate for the presidency. Woodrow WilsonÆs collapse and lingering illness, plus the countryÆs growing hostility toward his stand on the League of Nations, eliminated him as a possible contender. The first roll call tallied votes for 23 men. After an incredible 43 ballots, Governor James Cox of Ohio achieved the nomination on the 44th.

The Democratic party of 1920 campaigned on a platform calling for ratification of the Versailles Treaty and the League of Nations, multiple domestic reforms, and independence for Ireland and the Philippines. The postwar national sentiment, however, was against involvement in the problems of other countries and of the world in general. The more presidential candidate James Cox and vice-presidential candidate Franklin Roosevelt called for international activity, the more effective was Republican candidate Warren G.

The image of Warren Gamaliel Harding that emerged from campaign biographies was that of the small town, simple American - a homespun son of pioneers. He was painted as a warm, uncomplicated human being, with a quiet confidence and ability to solve problems. Campaign literature described his hometown of Marion, Ohio as having ôthe comfortable look of an old shoe.ö Harding conducted a ôfront porchö campaign, staying home except for five short speaking tours in the Midwest and upper South.

The leaders of the liberated style in the early 1920s were known as ôBright Young Thingsö and their activities filled the gossip columns of the daily papers. The most astute fashion analyst could not have predicted the radical changes. Styles had departed from all resemblance to earlier tradition. Hair was bobbed, straightened, glossed, and pointed forward above the ears. Shoulder lines were close-fitting, waistlines fell to or below the hips, and skirt hems rose to just above the calves.

All the games in the 1921 series were played in New YorkÆs Polo Grounds, the home of both the New York Giants and the New York Yankees, in the first all-New York World Series. It was also the first Series under the administration of legendary commissioner Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis. The Giants beat the rival Yankees, five games to three, in games from October 5 through the 13th.

The last official act of President Woodrow Wilson on March 4, 1921, was to sign a joint resolution (introduced by Congressman Hamilton Fish, Jr.) calling for the return of one unknown American soldier from France for burial at home. Interment ceremonies were scheduled for Armistice Day in 1921. The body placed in the tomb of the Unknown Soldier had to be American, and had to be unknown beyond all possibility of identification. On October 24, 1921, in the presence of American and French officers, and French civilian officials of Chalons, Sergeant Edward F. Younger, decorated war hero, chose the Unknown Soldier. He placed a spray of white roses on one of four coffins - the third from the left. The casket with the white roses bore the inscription, ôAn Unknown American who gave his life in the World War.ö The Unknown Soldier reached home on November 9. The funeral took place on November 11, 1921. Various representatives from foreign countries placed their national decorations upon the casket.

On the morning of November 11, 1921, the body of a man whose namelessness symbolized thousands who had given their lives in World War I was lifted from a catafalque in the Capitol Rotunda. The black-draped casket was placed on a caisson and slowly drawn down Pennsylvania Avenue, while a Marine band played ôNearer My God to Thee.ö President Warren Harding, along with Medal of Honor winners and Gold Star Mothers, were in the line of march, but it was ex-President Woodrow Wilson who drew a spontaneous ovation from the hushed and solemn crowd.

After the end of the Russian Civil War, the Russian leadership attempted to build a powerful Red Army, never feeling secure against foreign intervention or opposition from within. In 1918, Leon Trotsky became Commissar of War and is credited with organizing an efficient fighting force from the fragments of the pre-revolution army. At the same time, Trotsky began a conflict with Joseph Stalin. With the death of undisputed leader V.I. Lenin in 1924, a power struggle began between Stalin and TrotskyÆs forces. Stalin prevailed and in 1929 Trotsky was ordered to leave Russia. Eventually, Trotsky settled in Mexico City, where he attacked the Stalin regime in Russia. He was convicted in absentia for treason.

Eugene Victor Debs was a pioneer American labor union leader and socialist. Debs helped form the American Railway Union in 1893. He ran for President on the Socialist Party ticket in 1900, 1904, 1908, and 1912. During World War I, in 1918, he made a speech condemning government prosecutions for sedition. He was arrested and sentenced to a 10-year term for violation of the Espionage Act. After Debs had served two years and eight months, the sentence was commuted by President Warren G.

The British Parliament proposed dividing Ireland into two countries (Ulster and Catholic Ireland) in the Government of Ireland Act of 1920. Catholic Ireland, which had declared itself a republic in 1919, rejected the act and began a fight for total independence. The Irish Republican Army attacked the British in Ireland. The British replied with a brutal special police force, the Black and Tans. They proved to be so cruel in handling the Irish people that Britain was condemned by many countries and earned the lasting hatred of the Irish.

In 1921, Soviet Russia was still in social, political, and economic upheaval, fighting the aftermath of a world war: internal revolution and counter-revolution, resistance from old Russian White Army contingents, foreign intervention, and poverty inherited from the days of the Czars. Economic policies adopted by the new government as it tried to create a socialist state created further confusion, suffering, and violence. Transportation was near collapse, fuel was scarce, and in 1920, crops failed and typhoid struck.

Despite Soviet rejections of aid in 1920, Herbert Hoover and his associates in the American Relief Agency had already begun the stockpiling of supplies and the training of personnel, against the time when a request for help would come. On July 13, 1921, faced with actual famine, the Soviet Union, through writer Maxim Gorky, sent a message ôto all honest people.ö He told of the crop failure and the threatened starvation of millions of human beings, and he appealed for ôprompt aid to the Russian people.

Despite widespread wage cuts, 20,000 business failures for the year, and unemployment of 4,750,000 around the country, New York City crowds were busy preparing for the Christmas holidays, and the display of toys continued to fascinate youngsters. Those who could go to the theater in New York City at Christmas time in 1921 saw Eugene OÆNeillÆs Anna Christie, which had catapulted the young playwright to international fame, or Arthur RichmanÆs Ambush.

In the six weeks Foch was in the country, he travelled 21,000 miles via a special train in a coast-to-coast tour. He was warmly greeted by almost 17 million people - more than the total United States population when Lafayette had visited 100 years earlier. Foch received more than 30 honorary degrees and was inducted into trade unions and social and fraternal organizations.

His aim: to halt a growing naval arms race between Japan and the United States. Four leading postwar powers (Japan, Britain, France, and Italy) and five secondary powers with trade or interest in the Orient accepted an invitation to meet in Washington, D.C. to confer on joint limitation of armaments.

Sun Yat-sen helped to overthrow ChinaÆs ruling Manchu dynasty in 1911, and a decade later established a new Chinese republic in southern China. Sun hoped to establish a Chinese republic based upon his Three PeopleÆs Principles (nationalism, democracy, and peopleÆs livelihood). He founded the political party TÆung Meng Hui (later renamed the Kuomintang). But the ôFather of the Revolutionö never lived to see the republic he wanted for China.

In 1919, after World War I, Benito Mussolini began organizing a new political party with unique political beliefs - Fascism. Fascism emphasized national pride, encouraged prejudice, and set itself up as champion of law and order. MussoliniÆs party militia consisted mainly of discontented ex-soldiers who dissolved strikes and trade unions and attacked radical and progressive groups such as Communists and Socialists. Gradually the Fascists acquired the group name of ôBlack Shirts,ö that being the most prominent feature of their uniforms.

On February 27, 1922, the United States Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the Woman Suffrage Amendment was constitutional. The CourtÆs decision was the final answer to die-hard opponents who had continued to raise constitutional points in attempts to scuttle the 19th Amendment, which gave American women full voting rights. The Suffrage movement was formally started in 1848. In June, 1919, the 19th Amendment emerged from Congress and was referred to the states, with Wisconsin becoming the first state to ratify the Amendment.

The year 1923 was the year of the infamous Teapot Dome and Elk Hills scandals, which almost caused the impeachment of President Warren G. Harding. It was discovered that his Secretary of the Interior, Albert B. Fall, had received a huge bribe for the transfer of the Teapot Dome naval oil reserves in Wyoming to the Sinclair Oil Company. Fall had also received a $100,000 interest-free ôloanö from Edward C. Doheny for the transfer of the Elk Hills reserve.

The winner of the September 9, 1923 Miss America pageant was 17-year-old Mary Catherine Campbell of Columbus, Ohio. News reports described Campbell as having golden brown hair and ôchiseledö features with almost perfect form. She was 5-foot, 6-inches tall and weighed 129 pounds. Fashion mavens noted that while two of the three finalists, Miss Philadelphia and Miss St. Louis, had bobbed hair, the winner triumphed with an abundance of long tresses.ace.

Vladimir Ilyich Lenin died on January 21, 1924, after a series of strokes which began in 1922. The question of a successor was in the forefront of everyoneÆs mind. According to LeninÆs will, known only to a few, he was concerned about the antagonism between Leon Trotsky and Joseph Stalin. He felt they complemented each other and should be able to share the reins of party and government successfully. A remark which he dictated on January 4, 1923, claimed that Lenin finally favored Trotsky because of StalinÆs supposed crudeness. At the time of LeninÆs death, Trotsky was not in Moscow, which gave Stalin a chance to consolidate his own position, and he soon emerged as the countryÆs new leading power. LeninÆs funeral took place in below-freezing weather, with thousands of people marching into Red Square to pay tribute to their leader.

Smuggling was a lucrative occupation in early colonial America. And Yankee smuggling returned in 1919, when the Volstead Act prohibited the sale of liquor under the 18th Amendment to the Constitution. Smugglers circumvented governmental controls on a larger-than-ever scale. Ships under the protection of foreign flags hovered just outside territorial waters, laden with contraband liquor, ready to dash for shore. They remained within easy communication of accomplices, establishing an unfailing source of supply to bootleggers. In spite of the efforts of both the Coast Guard and more than 3,000 agents of the Prohibition Bureau, not more than 5 percent of the rum-running was stopped.w leading power.

In January of 1924, the U.S. Army and Navy held a mock war to dramatize the military and commercial importance of the Panama Canal and explore the strength or weakness of the ZoneÆs defenses. During the maneuvers, the Black ôenemyö forces shattered the friendly Blues and caught the Pacific Fleet in a trap. In evaluating the maneuvers, military authorities concluded that the home fleet was outranged, that PanamaÆs fortifications were inadequate, and that the Canal was at the mercy of any hostile power.

During the prohibition era, federal agents were kept busy checking for illegal breweries. Al Capone, a notorious gangster of the 1920s who operated out of Chicago, killed his competitors and gained control of that cityÆs illegal liquor production and distributing market. During the period between June 30, 1919, when Prohibition went into effect, and 1933, when the law was repealed, bootlegging became a major American industry with rum-running, beer breweries, and stills.

In 1924, the 18th Republican Party Convention nominated President Calvin Coolidge for reelection on the first ballot. Chicago banker Charles Dawes was chosen for vice president at the Cleveland, Ohio convention. As Warren G. HardingÆs vice president, Coolidge had taken over the presidency after HardingÆs sudden death on August 3, 1923. Increasing prosperity had produced a public apathy for politics and the delegates reflected this mood.

In 1924, the Democratic Party took 103 ballots over 13 days before agreeing on a nominee. A sharp chasm between the two leading candidates turned the convention into a shambles. The Northern wing, led by New York Governor Alfred E. Smith, was supported by city machines made up largely of immigrant Catholics and active enemies of Prohibition. The Southern and Midwest Wings, largely Protestant and solidly pro-prohibition, joined forces behind former Secretary of the Treasury William Gibbs McAdoo. On the 103rd ballot, the exhausted delegates elected a compromise candidate: John W. Davis, an Eastern corporation lawyer.

John William Davis, the DemocratsÆ compromise candidate of 1924, was handicapped by an election platform too ambiguous to attract passionate support from any bloc of voters. An anti-Ku Klux Klan plank had been defeated by only one vote, causing dissatisfaction among Southerners and Northerners alike. Endorsement of the League of Nations was spelled out in such cautious terms that it pleased neither advocates of world organization nor isolationists. Virtual silence on the issue of Prohibition left both the ôdrysö and the ôwetsö disappointed.

Dawes, Republican candidates for president and vice president, respectively, campaigned amid an unusual three-party race. Public interest in national and international politics was at a low ebb. Voters seemed to yawn when Democrats tried to create indignation over the Teapot Dome oil scandal. ôSilent Calö stayed calm, quiet, and unperturbed. The liberal third party of Robert La Follette was fighting a losing battle in a time of reviving prosperity.

Robert Marion La Follette of Wisconsin was the Progressive Party candidate for the presidency in 1924. Referring to Republican candidate Calvin Coolidge and Democratic candidate John W. Davis as the ôGold Dust Twins,ö La Follette and the Progressives tried to sell the electorate on a political program that largely repeated the positions of the 1890 Populists. The recent Russian Revolution, however, had struck fear into conservative American hearts, and the Progressives were looked upon as dangerous radicals.

In the early 1920s, before the advent of the very short skirt, fashion demanded that coats and cloaks be worn hitched up in front so that the back view presented one long curve from shoulder to hem. There was a certain art in the arrangement of this form of drapery; contemporary fashion articles frequently stressed correct methods of achieving this curious shape. The secret seemed to lay very largely in pulling the collar away from the back of the neck until the shoulder line was out of place. This resulted in all superfluous fullness being collected below the waist and gathered nonchalantly to be held with one hand.he Progressive Party carried only one state: La FolletteÆs native Wisconsin.mocrats went down to one of the worst defeats in their history, collecting barely 25% percent of the presidential electoral vote.leader.

Harding, Calvin Coolidge had taken his first oath of office by the light of a kerosene lamp in his Vermont family homestead. The oath was first administered to him by his father, a notary and a justice of the peace, and then Coolidge repeated the oath in Washington, administered by Justice Adolph August Hoehling. On March 4, 1925, after his own election to the presidency, Coolidge took the oath of office in the east portico of the Capitol, administered by Chief Justice William Howard Taft. being collected below the waist and gathered nonchalantly to be held with one hand.he Progressive Party carried only one state: La FolletteÆs native Wisconsin.mocrats went down to one of the worst defeats in their history, collecting barely 25% percent of the presidential electoral vote.leader.

The Schneider maritime cup race for seaplanes was a three-nation contest in 1925, with pilots from Britain, Italy, and the United States in competition. American Army pilot Jimmy Doolittle had become fascinated with high-speed seaplanes. His interest paid off when the Flying Lieutenant broke all records for the race while earning his victory. The course for the Schneider race was a 217-mile lap, which Jimmy managed with an average speed of 232.57 m.p.h., 43 m.p.h. faster than the previous yearÆs winner. 17 years later, Doolittle would lead the first American air raid on Tokyo in World War II.be held with one hand.he Progressive Party carried only one state: La FolletteÆs native Wisconsin.mocrats went down to one of the worst defeats in their history, collecting barely 25% percent of the presidential electoral vote.leader.

On January 30, 1925, Floyd Collins entered Sand Cave, part of Mammoth Caves, Kentucky, searching for a spot that would make a good tourist attraction. When Collins did not return 24 hours later, a friend crawled into the mouth of the cave and shouted to Collins, who responded faintly that his foot was caught under a heavy boulder. A newspaperman wriggled into the hole to interview Collins, and the story of the entrapment made headlines everywhere. For more than two weeks, experts argued among themselves over the best possible means of rescue. On the 18th day of CollinsÆ entombment, a rescue worker finally reached him, but Collins had already died.y one state: La FolletteÆs native Wisconsin.mocrats went down to one of the worst defeats in their history, collecting barely 25% percent of the presidential electoral vote.leader.

On September 3, 1925, the U.S. Navy dirigible Shenandoah was ripped apart by a 70-mile-an-hour squall over Caldwell, Ohio.

Faced with a series of public scandals and dwindling membership, the once powerful Ku Klux Klan announced a national mobilization in Washington, D.C. for August 8, 1925. Despite protests from angry citizens and newspapers all over the country, a parade permit was granted to the Klan with the proviso that they march unmasked. At three oÆclock in the afternoon, 40,000 unmasked, white-robed Klansmen and women, with hoods flung back and arms folded, paraded along Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol to the Treasury Building and then on to the Washington Monument.

William Jennings Bryan, American lawyer and political leader, died of apoplexy in 1925 at age 65. He was nominated for the presidency in 1896 and 1900, but was defeated both times by William McKinley. In 1908, he was nominated for the third time, but lost to William Howard Taft. Just prior to his death, Bryan was one of the prosecuting attorneys in the celebrated Scopes trial, in which John Scopes was indicted for teaching the theory of evolution in his biology classes. Bryan was known to be hostile to ideas of evolution, but when cross-examined by Clarence Darrow, counsel for Mr. Scopes, BryanÆs ignorance of discoveries of modern science was exposed.

On April 15, 1919, two men were killed in a payroll holdup in Braintree, Massachusetts. One year later, on May 5, 1920, two Italian immigrant radicals were accused of killing the paymaster and his guard and stealing $16,000. Nicola Sacco, a shoemaker, and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, a fish peddler, were convicted by a jury which deliberated for six hours. For the next six years, public support for the defendants grew as the case went through appeals and counter-charges. Many people, including celebrities like Dorothy Parker and Robert Benchley, believed the two men were convicted only because of their political opinions.

One of AmericaÆs early strides into the conflict between science and religion took place in Tennessee in 1925, with the arrest of John T. Scopes, a 25-year-old high school biology teacher. He was charged with teaching the theory of evolution, a violation of the state law. The ensuing trial became, in essence, a public argument between established fundamental values and progressive scientific theories. The trial also attracted attention due to its famous defense and prosecuting attorneys: Clarence Darrow, defending Scopes, and William Jennings Bryan, ex-presidential candidate, leading the prosecution.

William ôBillyö Mitchell (1879-1936) is considered to be the father of the U.S. Army Air Forces. As an air corps officer in the 1920s, Mitchell campaigned hard for increased emphasis on air power in warfare. Mitchell conducted tests to prove that a battleship could be sunk by a group of bombers in a matter of seconds, but many leading generals and admirals were not convinced. When Mitchell argued his case more strongly and attacked his superiorsÆ policies, he was charged with insubordination, found guilty, and sentenced to five yearsÆ suspension from the service without pay or allowances.

In 1926, Soviet Russia was beginning to emerge from the chaos of World War I, the Revolution of 1917 and a civil war. The period of peace gave the new government an opportunity to begin rebuilding its industry. The rest of the world had not expected the new government to last through the exhausting years of war and revolution, but it did.

In 1921, Rudolph Valentino was given his first starring role in The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, playing a rich young man from Argentina who spent his life dancing, loving, and fighting. He was an instant success. His exotic good looks and superb physique dissolved women and enraged men. His romantic acting earned him the title of ôThe Great Lover,ö and it is said he believed in his qualities as sincerely as did his fans. Perhaps his most famous part was the title role in 1921Æs The Sheik. Valentino died suddenly of peritonitis in New York City at the age of 31, on August 23, 1926.

The first woman to succeed in swimming the English Channel was Gertrude Caroline Ederle, an 20-year-old American. At 7:09 a.m. on August 6, 1926, Ederle plunged into the cold waters of the English Channel at Cape Griz-Nez, France to the cheers of fellow swimmers assembled at a training camp. She landed at Kingsdown near Deal, England at 9:40 that night. Her time of 14 hours, 31 minutes, swum in rough seas with a constant stinging spray in her face, broke the best menÆs time to that point by over two hours.

Marathon dancing had its start in America with a contest won by Alma Cummings, who wore out six partners on her way to a world record of 27 hours of nonstop dancing on March 30-31, 1923. On April 19, her record was surpassed in Cleveland with a duration of 90 hours and 10 minutes. Suddenly, a fad was born. Competitions took place all over the country, culminating in a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania contest which lasted from June through November of 1932.

With the improvement of road conditions, the stagecoach became the most popular form of group transportation from the early 18th century through the early 19th century. Before public roads were built, travel was limited to horseback or foot. The stagecoach was able to carry groups of people a then-amazing 25 to 40 miles a day. Stagecoaches died out in the early 19th century with the construction of a faster mode of transportation: the railroad.

The Cardinals won their first pennant in 1926, thanks to the willingness of the St. Louis management to take on Grover Cleveland Alexander in the middle of the season. Not only did Alexander prove to be a big help during the season, but he went on to be the star of the World Series as well. After winning the second and sixth games for manager Rogers Hornsby, the great Alex was called upon to relieve Jess Haines with the bases full in the seventh inning of the seventh game.

During the 1920s the circulation of paper money in the United States reached such an enormous volume that the government decided to reduce costs by reducing the size of the bills. Secretary of Treasury Andrew Mellon announced that all new bills would be printed 1 1/2 inches shorter and 1/2 inch narrower. Smaller bills would take less paper and, since they would presumably need to be folded less, last longer.

In 1927, the Charleston became the popular dance step with both professional entertainers and the general public. Originally danced in cabarets, the Charleston was a very active dance, featuring exuberant side kicks and wriggling movements. Soon children were dancing it in the street, and adults were kicking and weaving in nightclubs across the country.

At 7:52 a.m. on May 20, 1927, Charles Augustus Lindbergh climbed into the cockpit of the Spirit of St. Louis at Roosevelt Field, Long Island. He was about to embark on a 3,600-mile solo journey across the Atlantic, without lights, heat, radio, or automatic pilot. As the wheels of his Wright-powered Ryan monoplane left the runway, crowds across the world began to listen anxiously for news of his progress. Huge throngs jammed Le Bourget Airport outside of Paris where Lindbergh was to land. Thirty-three hours and 29 minutes after takeoff, the handsome young aviator set Spirit of St. Louis smoothly down at Le Bourget.

The four presidents were chosen as representatives of important periods in American history. For 14 years, Borglum led his team of workmen: They used dynamite, steam shovels, compressed air drills, and occasionally a simple hammer and chisel, as they patiently chipped the features of the four presidents into Mt. Rushmore. Gutzon Borglum died in March 1941, and his son Lincoln completed the final details shortly thereafter.een tossed for the Armistice in 1918.

In 1921, Albert Bacon Fall, Secretary of the Interior under Warren Harding, maneuvered the transfer of government-owned oil reservations located at Teapot Dome, Wyoming, and Elk Hills, California, from the Department of the Navy to his own department. Fall then negotiated secret leases for Elk Hills and Teapot Dome with private oilmen. Oilmen gave Fall a $100,000 interest-free ôloanö and $25,000 in Liberty bonds for his actions. Upon receiving the money, Fall resigned from the Cabinet in 1922 and returned to his New Mexico ranch. A Congressional investigation charged fraud and corruption. After a long series of trials ending in 1929, Albert Fall was sentenced to one year in prison and $100,000 fine.

The controversial death sentences on Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were carried out on August 23, 1927. The two avowed anarchists had been charged with burglary and murder in 1920, but many felt that they had been wrongly arrested and convicted due to their political beliefs. On the day of their electrocution, riot squads wielding machine guns, fire hoses and tear gas broke up demonstrations outside the prison.

Bartolomeo Vanzetti and Nicola Sacco were arrested in 1920 on charges of killing two men in a 1919 payroll holdup in Braintree, Massachusetts. The two men were avowed political anarchists, a fact which played a prominent role in their trial; after their conviction, the trial judge even publicly boasted about convicting ôthose anarchistic bastards.ö Many public figures rallied behind Sacco and Vanzetti, believing they had been falsely convicted. $360,000 was raised for their defense.

President Calvin Coolidge, who assumed the Presidency upon the death of President Warren Harding, ran for the office on his own in 1924. He was elected by a solid vote. Four years later, Coolidge had to decide whether to seek his second full term. On August 2, 1927, ôSilent Calö announced that he had decided against being a candidate in 1928.

On May 30, 1927, a full field of 33 racing cars waited for the starterÆs flag at the Indianapolis Speedway. According to a 1911 American Automobile Association ruling, 33 was the absolute maximum for a 2 1/2 mile track, and during most of the 1920s, the Indy field stayed well below this limit. Frank Lockhart, Norman Batten, and Peter De Paola were the early leaders in the 1927 race, but a young man named George Souders outlasted them to win the race.

After their loss in the 1926 World Series, the New York Yankees stormed back in 1927 to sweep the Pittsburgh Pirates in four games. The 1927 Yankee team was thought by many baseball fans to be the greatest team of all time. They set an American league record of 110 victories and finished 19 games ahead of second-place Philadelphia. Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs, and the YankeesÆ fine young first baseman, Lou Gehrig, batted in 175 runs. Some said the Yankees won this series when they overawed the Pirates during batting practice before the first game at Forbes Field.

Flaming youth was not confined to adolescents during the 1920s, as the country rebounded from World War I by seeking fun and innovation. Thoughtful consideration of individual figure proportions and tastes were left behind; all waistlines pointed downward and all hems upward. For the first time in what was considered ôcivilizedö history, women began exposing their legs.

The Bremen was the first plane to fly successfully from east to west across the Atlantic Ocean. The plane and its crew of three turned the trick on April 12, 1928. When they landed in Detroit, Michigan, on May 17, 1928, they were finishing up a month-long series of celebrations of their successful flight. They landed at the Ford Airport a day late, in a Junkers F-13, the sister ship of the Bremen. Because of the muddiness of the landing field, they landed their plane with a dead stick and the plane was badly damaged. They were forced to take the train to Boston after their visit. The BremenÆs April transatlantic crossing had been harrowing. Because of poor weather and persistent icing problems, the Bremen was forced to make a crash landing on an ice lake in Labrador.

Ending an age of more relaxed charm, the horse-drawn fire engine made its exit in Philadelphia in 1928, as the last of the horses was put out to quiet pasture.

In an attempt to restore to Italy the glory of Imperial Rome, Benito Mussolini felt it necessary to build a strong war machine that could execute his planned conquests. However, some historians believe that he himself had doubts about whether Italian men could be made into a strong army.

Kellogg became famous for his work in framing the Kellogg-Briand Peace Treaty of 1928, for which he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1929. The treaty was an attempt to solve differences among nations by peaceful means, and condemned war as a method of settling problems. Led by France and the United States, 15 countries signed the Kellogg-Briand Pact in Paris on August 27, 1928. It was later ratified by 49 nations.

The 1928 Democratic National Convention met in Houston, Texas, from June 26-29. On the first ballot, New York Governor Alfred E. Smith was nominated for the Presidency. Franklin Roosevelt placed Smith in nomination with these words: ôI come for the third time to urge upon a convention of my party the nomination of the Governor of the State of New York. The faith which I held I still hold. It has been justified in the achievements. The whole country now has learned the measure of his greatness... America needs not only an administrator but a leader - a pathfinder, a blazer of the trail... To stand upon the ramparts and die for our principles is heroic.

Smith.ö A four-time governor of New York, Smith provoked a powerful emotional response from friend and foe alike. In a campaign that dredged up deep-seated prejudices, Al Smith was handicapped on many counts. He was a Catholic from New York, feared and distrusted by hysterical elements in the Protestant South and Midwest. He was friend of the new immigrant. He was ôwet,ö or anti-prohibition, and so was frowned upon by the straight-laced Temperance crusaders.

Presidential candidate Herbert Hoover - called by Republicans the ôFriend of Helpless Childrenö for his charitable works - campaigned on a platform that stressed the admirable qualities of the Grand Old Party. The Republicans claimed full credit for the ongoing economic good times and pledged themselves to perpetuating prosperity. Hoover told the country, ôThe poorhouse is vanishing from among us.

Reigh Count ran the damp track in 2:10 1/5, winning a purse of $55,375 for his owner, Mrs. John D. Hertz. Lang took Reigh Count out quickly in the early running, racing into a forward position in the first half mile. Lang forced the pace and under strong riding in the stretch, Reigh Count took the lead and drew away to win with speed to spare.ast 8 years, we shall soon, with the help of God, be in sight of the day when poverty shall be banished from this nation.ö Stressing rugged individualism, he attacked the Democratic platform as socialistic, and maintained that only the Republican Party could safeguard the system of free enterprise.tes from being Romanized and rum-ridden.öds it.

After six straight years of losses to Michigan, Ohio State University ended a jinx by beating Michigan 19-7. A crowd of 75,000 saw the 1928 game at Columbus, Ohio. OhioÆs Buckeyes outplayed the Wolverines throughout the game, making 13 first downs to just one for Michigan. The powerful Ohio State line left Michigan helpless.

In 1928, enthusiastic ôsun worshipö took the fashion world by storm. Seemingly everyone began to experiment with sunbathing, oils, and dark powders in order to appear the desired ôtoastö color, instead of fragile pink and white. With the push toward a healthy glow under way, diets to slim the figure also became a fetish. Accordion-pleated skirts, pleated from the waist to ankle and usually held with elastic at the waist, became very fashionable, even though they had to be pressed after each wearing to regain their original shape. Skirts grew longer (after several years of rising), with side drapings falling almost to the floor. Wrap-around coats with shawl collars were also popular in 1928.

After Chief Justice William Howard Taft administered the oath of office on March 4, 1929, new President Herbert Hoover spoke for 29 minutes while a slight rainfall developed into a roaring downpour. The President wore neither a hat nor an overcoat to protect him from the chill, damp air. His words were enthusiastically received by the crowd, which stood huddled beneath umbrellas and newspapers. His address was broadcast over 120 American radio stations and was transmitted by shortwave to many countries abroad. Mr. Hoover asked the nation to uphold Prohibition, expressed his confidence in the World Court, and reminded the country that it was in the midst of unprecedented prosperity. ôWe in America today are nearer to the final triumph over poverty than ever before in the history of our land,ö he said.y is his habit - the happy warrior, Alfred E.

Anne Morrow was quiet, interested in modern art and literary movements, and like Charles Lindbergh, extremely shy. The two shared a love of flying; Morrow flew frequently with Lindbergh on nonofficial flights, and later chalked up 40,000 miles of flying over 5 continents as copilot and radio operator to Lindbergh. Their surprise wedding was held at the home of MorrowÆs parents in Englewood, N.J. on May 27, 1929. Both were unattended, and only 20 close family members were present.

After the tragic death of his wife (estranged from Babe Ruth for many years), George Herman Ruth married Mrs. Claire Hodgson, a young widow, in New York City. 100 early-morning worshippers witnessed the ceremony at 5:45 a.m. on April 12, 1929. Relatives of the couple, but none of RuthÆs Yankee teammates, joined the wedding party. A handful of small boys were at the church when the couple arrived and there were 200 more to greet them when they left. Babe promised autographed baseballs to two altar boys who had attended the wedding mass.

On February 11, 1929, the Italian government and Pope Pius XI signed the Lateran Treaty, in which the Italian government recognized the establishment of the independent state of the Vatican City, with the Pope as its recognized sovereign. From 756 to 1870, the territory in the center of Italy had been controlled by the pope, but gradually it was reduced to a few remaining Papal States by 1870. The region was then protected by the troops of Napoleon III. But when the French ruler fell from power and his troops withdrew, the Italian troops of Victor Emmanuel II, King of Italy, seized the Papal States and made Rome the capital in 1871. Vatican City was all that remained from the former Papal States.

On June 8, 1929, Pope Pius XI held a conference with Guglielmo Marconi (1874-1937), ItalyÆs ôFather of the Wireless,ö regarding the construction of a radio station for the Vatican. Marconi was called upon to design a station for the Holy City as a new link with the outside world. The station was supervised by Marconi until his death. On February 11, 1931, Pius XI was heard in the first worldwide broadcast from the Vatican.

In October of 1929, President Herbert Hoover took time out from national affairs to visit with three outstanding personalities of the 1920s: Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Madame Marie Curie. On October 29, a celebration accompanied the opening of the new historical ôHenry Ford Villageö in Michigan. Ford dedicated the museum to the great scientist Thomas Edison on the Golden Jubilee of his invention of the electric light in 1879. During the festivities Edison reenacted the original experiment through which he discovered the incandescent lamp; and Hoover spoke in great praise of both Edison and Ford. Two days later, President Hoover honored Madame Marie Curie, the renowned woman scientist, in a ceremony at the White House.

The Havana Conference on January 16, 1928, revealed the anger many Latin American countries held toward the United States because of American influence in the affairs of Nicaragua in 1927. In the interest of hemispheric goodwill, President-elect Herbert Hoover, together with his wife Lou, visited 11 South American countries shortly after his election to the presidency. Throughout the tour, the presidential couple was received with great cordiality. Mr. Hoover even settled a boundary dispute between Chile and Peru.

The George Washington Bridge was opened to traffic on October 24, 1931. The third longest suspension bridge in the world, it spanned the Hudson River between Fort Lee, New Jersey, and West 178th Street in Manhattan. One of the bridgeÆs most unusual features was that it was originally designed to grow with the increase of auto traffic; a second deck was, in fact, added in 1963. The George Washington Bridge is 4,760 feet long between anchorages and has a river span of 3,500 feet. There are 105,000 miles of wire in the cables of the bridge, enough to go around the earth four times. The cost of the first single level was $76 million.

Vesuvius, the only active volcano on the European mainland, is located in Italy near the east shore of the Bay of Naples. Mt. Vesuvius last erupted on June 4, 1929, and sent a stream of boiling lava in the direction of Pompeii, the city which the volcano had completely destroyed 1,850 years earlier. Thousands of peasants were evacuated from their villages on the slopes of the mountain. Special trains were sent into Naples to care for the refugees.

The economic boom of the Roaring Twenties was just a few months from its doom, but there was no sign of it at the 1929 Indianapolis Speedway 500 race. Owners and sponsors spent thousands of dollars to prepare their Millers and Duesenbergs for the event. Lou Meyer dominated the race until the 157th lap, when his pit stop opened the way for Ray Keech. The year 1929 marked the end of an expensive era in Indianapolis racing.

Two strong teams met in the 1929 series - the Chicago Cubs had won the National League by 10 1/2 games, and the Philadelphia Athletics had won the American by an 18-game spread. The World Series turned out to be a bitter experience for the Cubs. The big surprise was when Athletics manager Connie Mack used Howard Ehmke as his starting pitcher in the first game. Ehmke had pitched only 55 innings during the regular season, but he got the AÆs off to a fine start by striking out a then-World Series record 13 batters to win game one. In the fifth and final game, the Cubs appeared to have things wrapped up with a 2-0 lead in the ninth inning.

The New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street was the financial heart of the United States in 1929. Business expansion was booming, riding an eight-year rush of prosperity and rising stock prices. On October 24, 1929 - Black Thursday - the market suddenly lost its nerve and brokers were swamped with almost 3 million shares of stock for sale. Trading panic rocked Wall Street as everyone tried to cut losses. Five days later, on October 29, the market collapsed completely and the economic life of the country was stifled in gloom.

Throughout the 1920s, some women began to earn their own way in jobs which had formerly been reserved for men. One sure sign: New York State began to hire policewomen, although primarily to direct traffic. Tennis star Helen Wills took sport by storm. Fashion became more daring than ever. Some women not only exposed their legs, but stopped wearing stockings. Short skirts and ôflapperö outfits became symbols of the free-wheeling age of Coolidge prosperity, as a few women flaunted their new feelings of independence. gloom. The Depression had begun.

Curls began to reappear, knee-length skirts were dropping, a return of the waistline was suggested.

Before 1,000 guests at a London dinner honoring Albert Einstein on October 28, 1930, George Bernard Shaw placed Einstein on a pedestal with the greatest thinkers in history. Einstein had not come to London for praise; he came from Berlin to help launch the British drive on behalf of the needy Jewish families of Eastern Europe. In a speech which he delivered in German, Einstein disavowed all of ShawÆs eulogies as directed not at him but at some ômythical namesake.ö He ignored science in his speech; he appealed for aid for the Jews of Poland, Lithuania, and Russia.ll Rogers later said that when ôWall Street took that tailspin, you had to stand in line to get a window to jump out of.öhe ninth to win the game and the World Series.Curie, with the help of her husband Pierre, discovered polonium and radium, and experimented extensively with radiation.orld.o became the third to do so in 1956.a few days later.nÆs body was carefully preserved for viewing by future generations; in fact, it outlasted the Soviet Union itself, which crumbled in the late 1980s.red $3,000,000 worth of medical supplies to 14,000 Russian hospitals and institutions.ption: ôHERE RESTS IN HONORED GLORY AN AMERICAN SOLDIER KNOWN BUT TO GOD.öthe Americans made it possible for the Allies to mount a counteroffensive.ed to appoint him Secretary of State, at which time Wilson and his vice president would resign.

The biggest crowd in years packed Fifth Avenue in New York City for 1930Æs Easter Parade. After a week of rain and fog, Easter dawned as a beautiful day, and the holiday was celebrated with church services, fashion parades, solemnity, and gaiety. The freakish attire of some past years seemed to be missing completely, and there were few celebrities in view. Spectators jammed the steps of the cathedrals to watch the parade, while others crowded atop double-decker Fifth Avenue buses.

The National Prohibition Enforcement Act (or ôVolstead Actö) was passed in 1919, creating the enforcement apparatus for the liquor-banning 18th Amendment. The Act defined intoxicating liquor as any beverage containing more than 1/2 of 1 percent alcohol and placed the administration of the law under the Bureau of Internal Revenue. A supplementary Act introduced by Congressman Andrew Volstead went into effect November 23rd, allowing the use of liquor for medical prescriptions. Medicinal uses proved surprisingly popular; so popular that, in 1930, the U.S. Government distillery in Baltimore, Maryland undertook the manufacture of whiskies for medicinal use. get a window to jump out of.öhe ninth to win the game and the World Series.Curie, with the help of her husband Pierre, discovered polonium and radium, and experimented extensively with radiation.orld.o became the third to do so in 1956.a few days later.nÆs body was carefully preserved for viewing by future generations; in fact, it outlasted the Soviet Union itself, which crumbled in the late 1980s.red $3,000,000 worth of medical supplies to 14,000 Russian hospitals and institutions.ption: ôHERE RESTS IN HONORED GLORY AN AMERICAN SOLDIER KNOWN BUT TO GOD.öthe Americans made it possible for the Allies to mount a counteroffensive.ed to appoint him Secretary of State, at which time Wilson and his vice president would resign.

In August 1898, while America was still elated over the feats of its seamen and the evidence of its naval power in the war with Spain, the Royal Ulster Yacht Club of Belfast, Ireland notified the New York Yacht Club of a challenge in the name of Sir Thomas LiptonÆs Shamrock. It was the first of a notable series in which no money was spared by either side as America defended yachtingÆs coveted AmericaÆs Cup. To meet the Shamrock in October 1899, a New York syndicate headed by J.P. Morgan and H.C. Oliver Iselin commissioned the construction of a new defender. The result was the Columbia, which defeated the Shamrock I and her successor two years later, Shamrock II. LiptonÆs final challenge for the cup came in 1930, when his Shamrock V lost to a new Columbia.

Frederick Pabst, Jr. son of the original brewery founder, was Chairman of the Pabst Brewing Company in St. Louis, Missouri. The company claimed to be the largest lager beer brewery in the world; so it was not surprising that its owner was a strong supporter of the repeal of Prohibition. In a 1930 speech, Pabst argued that the return of beer would bring social, economic, and agricultural improvements to the United States. People would no longer need to conceal their drinking and could once again enjoy a beer with the company of friends. Government taxes on beer would aid the suffering economy, he said, and the demand for cereal grains used to make beer would improve agricultural conditions.

Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) spoke to an international audience on June 18, 1930. To dramatize the advances in two-way international communication, the ôWizard of Menlo Parkö was persuaded to speak from his laboratory in West Orange, New Jersey: His words were carried by a telephone-shortwave hookup to audiences in San Francisco, California; London, England; and Berlin, Germany. The 83-year-old genius said that he was glad to have had a part in the origin and development of electrical power, motion pictures, and radio and telephone transmission, among many others. aid the suffering economy, he said, and the demand for cereal grains used to make beer would improve agricultural conditions.

Richard Evelyn Byrd (1888-1957) was an American aviator and explorer who participated in a number of notable polar and transatlantic flights. He became the first man to fly over both the North Pole (May 9, 1926) and South Pole (November 29, 1929). He led five survey expeditions to Antarctica (1928-30, 1933-35, 1939-40, 1946-47, 1955). Upon his return from his first flight over the North Pole with Floyd Bennett, Byrd was promoted to commander and received the Congressional Medal of Honor and the Distinguished Service Medal. Three years later, Byrd flew over the South Pole. After the success of that journey, Byrd was greeted with a parade in New York City in June of 1930.ltural conditions.

The Graf Zeppelin was built in Germany and named after its designer, German-born Ferdinand von Zeppelin. Eight hundred feet long and 100 feet in diameter, the zeppelin could travel over 70 miles an hour. Its luxurious passenger cabin accommodated 50 passengers plus their baggage. The zeppelinÆs first commercial transatlantic flight was completed October 15, 1928 at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in Lakehurst, N.J. The 6,630-mile trip took the German dirigible 121 hours to complete. The next year, commanded by Captain Hugo Eckener, the Graf Zeppelin flew around the world in 29 days and 8 hours, making it the first airship to circle the globe.

In 1911, when he was nine years old, Bobby Jones won his first golf title: the junior championship of Atlanta, Georgia. In 1916, at the age of 14, he won four championships including the Georgia state title. In the same year, he made his first appearance in the United States Amateur tournament. In 1930, Jones climaxed a magnificent career by becoming the only man, before or since, to capture the ôGrand Slamö of golf.

After the series between the Philadelphia Athletics and the St. Louis Cardinals was tied 2 games to 2, some fire pitching by Lefty Grove and George Earnshaw moved Connie MackÆs team to a 4-2 series victory over the Cardinals. Two games earlier, bringing the Cardinals back from a 2-0 deficit, Wild Bill Hallahan pitched a seven-hit shutout and Jess Haines threw a four-hit one-run effort. But even after Hallahan and Haines displayed their strong pitching abilities, it was the Athletics all the way.

Jockey Earl Sande rode his third Kentucky Derby winner, Gallant Fox, in the 56th running of the famous race at Churchill Downs on May 17, 1930. Gallant Fox was in extremely close quarters for the first three-eights, then he raced into the lead on the outside after hitting the back stretch. Jockey Sande held Gallant Fox under restraint for the balance of the race, crossing the finish line with energy to spare.

After the wild experimental years of the late 1920s, the clothing of the early 1930s became more artistic in line and silhouette than any since the early 1890s. The Depression seemed to stimulate a creative urge to produce lines which were fluent and easy and lent grace and rhythm to the feminine figure. Dress materials were cheap - many could be purchased for less than half their pre-depression prices. Sewing at home, for the sake of economy, came back into practice, and ready-made garments also dropped in price.

The Depression which spread over the world in 1929 gave Adolf Hitler the political opportunity he needed to increase his small National Socialist Party. German industry could not keep its plants in operation, and the young men of Germany were unemployed, hungry, and desperate. Hitler promised to make Germany strong again. He said he would stop Jews from ôstealing businesses which rightfully belong to pure-blooded Germans,ö and he assured every German of a job and food. Such promises were a magnet for the hard-pressed, hopeless, hungry young men on relief.

William Tatem ôBig Billö Tilden, Jr. (1893-1953) began playing tennis in his childhood. He won his first U. S. Singles Championship in 1920, and that same year became the first American to win the menÆs singles at EnglandÆs Wimbledon. TildenÆs success in the national menÆs singles amateur championship continued until 1925. Tilden won two more Wimbledon championships in 1921 and 1930, and played on the U.S. Davis Cup team from 1920 to 1930, steering his team to victory in seven consecutive years (1920-1926). In 1931, Tilden turned professional. In his debut, he defeated Karel Kozeluhof of Czechoslovakia and American Vinnie Richards to win the 1931 pro singles championship.

Upon completion of the Empire State Building in 1931, a 200-foot mast was added to the original plans in the hope that it could be used as a mooring mast for blimps. At the time, dirigibles were thought to be an important transportation source for the future, and the new mast brought the building to a height of 1,250 feet. Despite warnings that dirigibles couldnÆt possibly land atop the building, one attempt was made in 1931. It turned out to be a rather disastrous affair. An updraft almost upended the blimp and nearly swept away the celebrities, including ex-Governor Alfred E. Smith, in attendance.

The new wonder was called many things: radio-vision, radio-talkies, visual broadcasting, and television-talking-moving pictures.

In 1931, the indefatigable Sophie Tucker returned to America after a successful European tour. On shipboard, she displayed the latest in fashions for appreciative newsmen, undaunted by an earlier run-in with British customs officials on a charge of trying to smuggle three silk dresses into England from Paris. Big, zestful and flamboyant, Tucker was one of the eraÆs most popular entertainers, belting out songs for 60 years until just before her death in 1966.

The most severe economic depression in American history hit the country after the stock market crash of 1929. After the initial losses of fortunes came gradual factory closings and spiralling unemployment. By 1933, unemployment figures hit the high figure of 24.9 percent of the American labor force, or about 13 1/2 million unemployed people. Assistance by local government agencies was necessary in order for families to survive. Many people, especially young boys, took to the roads, until the problem of homeless boys necessitated action by the government agencies of the Franklin Roosevelt administration.ness.man,ö became commonly used slang.

Fifteen hundred Confederate veterans, a fast-thinning remnant of the Grays, held a three-day reunion in April 1932. There was controversy over their plans to reenact the Confederate secession, since the old North-South sectional difference would be emphasized.

MussoliniÆs visit marked the first time since 1870 that a Pope had met with an Italian premier. Mussolini was received alone by the Pope in his private library.

The Japanese sought control of Manchuria from early in the century. In 1932, the Japanese army steamrolled Manchuria. When China responded with a boycott of Japanese goods, Japan attacked Shanghai, inflicting thousands of casualties. Japanese attacks extended throughout northern China, and Japan installed Pu-Yi as Emperor of Manchuria. Japan claimed that the fighting in Manchuria, and the slaughter in Shanghai, had not been a war, but the simple rectification of grievances held against China.

Jobless veterans sold apples on street corners. The homeless lived in shantytown shacks. The hungry stood in long lines for handouts. Before the New DealÆs federal welfare and work projects were set up, many people depended on private charity for the necessities of life. One philanthropist who made friends and fed the hungry in his own private soup kitchens was the leader of ChicagoÆs crime syndicate, Al ôScarfaceö Capone. His public image was badly in need of a boost inasmuch as the Treasury Department had billed him for $4 million in back taxes. CaponeÆs generosity warmed the needy but left the ôT-menö cold.

In 1924, the Bonus Bill passed over the veto of President Calvin Coolidge, granting World War I veterans a bonus of about $1,000 each, payable in 20 years. In May 1932, many jobless veterans demanded immediate payment instead of waiting out the two decades. Veterans from all over the country marched on Washington and resolved to stay in the capital until they received payment More than 10,000 veterans moved with their families to tarpaper shacks in WashingtonÆs Anacostia Flats. The government offered the veterans money for a return trip home; but when many continued to stay on, President Hoover ordered the U.S. Army to drive the veterans out of Washington. On July 28 Army forces, under command of General Douglas MacArthur, forced the veterans from Washington.

Jimmy Walker, charming darling of the voters, was mayor of New York City from 1926 to 1932. But evidence of corruption in New York City Hall eventually led Governor Franklin Roosevelt to establish a commission of inquiry, headed up by Judge Samuel Seabury. Investigations revealed extensive corruption in city government. Known underworld figures had made loans to city magistrates. Ultimately, a shockingly large part of the cityÆs judicial system was shown to be corrupt. Finally, Roosevelt was forced to confront Walker, who besides being a fellow Democrat was also a powerful ally and very popular with voters. Walker was unable to satisfactorily rebut the investigationÆs charges. Rather than be forced from office, Jimmy Walker resigned on August 28, 1932.on.

After many previous efforts, the city of Los Angeles, California finally won the chance to host a Summer Olympic Games in 1932. The Los Angeles Coliseum was built at a cost of $1,700,000 and was capable of holding 105,000 spectators in its 30 miles of seats. An additional $1,300,000 was spent on appropriate facilities for the athletes competing in this 10th Olympiad. The opening of the games drew a capacity crowd, including many Hollywood stars.

The 20th Republican presidential convention met in Chicago in June, 1932, amid an atmosphere of gloom following almost three disastrous years of the Great Depression. The solemnity in the hall was relieved only by the demonstrations staged by the anti-prohibition forces. Only a few of the 1,154 delegates believed that Herbert Hoover could be reelected, but the party rallied behind him and renominated him for a second term. The final platform included a call to resubmit the prohibition issue to states, in hopes the new position would help local tickets.10th Olympiad.10 dollars in cash, a toothbrush, and a quart of chicken soup.atisfactorily rebut the investigationÆs charges.

In 1932, Democrats arrived in Chicago confident that the White House was theirs for the taking. The nation, led by the Republicans for 12 years, had been plunged from a period of peak prosperity to an all-time record depression - and the voters were ready for a change. Although Roosevelt was easily the leading contender, he had several serious opponents, including Al Smith and Texan John Nance Garner. A compromise was worked out, with Garner exchanging his delegates for the spot as RooseveltÆs running mate.

Although Walter Lippman had described Franklin Delano Roosevelt as ôan amiable man... who, without any important qualifications for the office, would very much like to be president,ö the Democratic candidateÆs impact on the country was unprecedented.

President Herbert HooverÆs 1932 campaign was conducted in an atmosphere almost as funereal as that which prevailed at the convention. The Republicans had adopted a platform which offered nothing new or dramatic to the electorate. While forecasting the end of the depression, the G.O.P. offered no specific proposals to relieve the general misery. While Democrat Franklin Roosevelt appeared vigorous, confident, and serene in his ability to solve the national ailments, Hoover seemed edgy, detached, and diminished by the pressures of the presidency.

Franklin Roosevelt was a pioneer in the use of radio to speak directly to the nation. On November 12, four days after the 1932 national elections, Roosevelt spoke his first words to the nation as President-elect of the United States. His eloquence, his personal charm, and his voice of hope were to be an important part of American radio for the next 12 years. On Sunday evening, March 12, six days after he was inaugurated in 1933, the President made his first ôFireside Chatö from the White House to the people at home.

This was a series of sweet revenge for Yankee manager Joe McCarthy, who had been released by the Cubs at the end of the 1930 season after failing to bring them a world championship. Instead he managed the Bronx Bombers to a 37-run, 4-game sweep of the Cubs from September 28 to October 2, 1932. The leader of the Yankee romp was Lou Gehrig.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was 51 years old when he was first sworn into office as the 32nd President of the United States. He took office on Saturday, March 4th, 1933, in an impressive ceremony held on the east portico of the Capitol. The oath of office was administered by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Charles Evans Hughes, in view of a crowd estimated at 100,000. Mr. Roosevelt took office at a period of grave national crisis; insecurity, fear, and hunger preyed on the national mind. Since the election of 1932, an attempt had been made on RooseveltÆs life, the industrial production index had dropped to an all-time low, runs on banks were increasing, people were hoarding gold, and the future held little promise of relief. In answer to the prophets of doom, the new President said, ôthe only thing we have to fear is fear itself.ö Roosevelt immediately went into action.

On January 5, 1933, former president Calvin Coolidge died suddenly of a heart attack in his Massachusetts home, ôThe Beeches.ö Mr. Coolidge was 60 years old. A Congressional delegation and President and Mrs. Herbert Hoover, as well as many foreign dignitaries, attended the funeral services in Northhampton. A procession of 20 autos then made the 100-mile motor trip to Plymouth, Vermont, where only close friends were admitted to the cemetery where the service lasted only five minutes.

By 1932, Adolf HitlerÆs National Socialist Party was rapidly gaining in popularity and steadily increasing its representation in the German parliament, the Reichstag. The German people, angered by a stream of ineffectual governments, were suffering gravely from the effects of worldwide depression and were still bridling under the humiliating provisions of the Versailles Treaty that ended World War I. Hitler offered powerful leadership, promising to repudiate the Versailles Treaty and make Germany strong again. He also offered a convenient scapegoat for his nationÆs troubles: the Jews. Conservatives in the government actually aided HitlerÆs election, believing that by making Hitler Chancellor they could control him.

The 18th Amendment to the Federal Constitution, passed after World War I, prohibited the sale of liquor and spirits in the United States. The so-called Volstead Act was, however, widely evaded. After his election in 1932, Franklin D. Roosevelt led the effort which resulted in the ratification of the 21st Amendment on December 5, 1933, ending the Prohibition. It also ended a black market which had become a major American industry, with bootleggers, rum-runners, ônear beerö brewers, illegal stills, and speakeasies.

The 1932 Democratic platform called for repeal of the Volstead Act, which had prohibited the sale of alcoholic beverages. In 1933, the 21st Amendment to the Constitution was ratified and the ôdry lawö was repealed. Fifteen days after President Franklin Roosevelt signed the resolution, 211 breweries (which had continued to produce alcohol-free ônear-beerö) were ready to manufacture a stronger brew again.

Franklin Roosevelt called his governmental reform program the New Deal. The President described it as a ôuse of the authority of government as an organized form of self-help for all classes and groups and sections of the country.ö The Civic Works Administration (CWA) was established in 1933 and supplied funds to local authorities for public projects to hire the unemployed. Created in 1935, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) gave work and training to 500,000 young men. It achieved great success in flood control, forestry, and soil conservation.

The new relationship was the result of 10 days of negotiations and nearly a dozen letters between Franklin Roosevelt and Soviet representative Maxim Litvinov. Most members of Congress viewed the agreement as an enlightened step forward; the press saw it as an inevitable progression of the times. Exporters expected huge trade orders. Socialists predicted that the move would strengthen chances of world peace.

In 1933, liberal students rebelled against the dictatorial activities of Gerardo Machado, president of Cuba since 1925. Machado was opposed to the political bonds of the Platt Amendment, part of a 1901 Cuban-American treaty which made Cuban economics dependent on the United States. A series of coups followed, and in 1934 the Cubans rejected the Platt Amendment, except for the continuance of the U.S. Naval base in Guantanamo Bay. The U.S. State Department quickly advised CubaÆs 5000 American citizens to take refuge on the nearest American war vessel. Negotiations were carried on for the safe conduct of women and children so they could be taken aboard without landing Marines. By September, the U.S. Navy and the Coast Guard had 30 ships stationed in and around Cuba.m, the new President said, ôthe only thing we have to fear is fear itself.ö Roosevelt immediately went into action.

The National Recovery Administration (NRA) of 1933 was the name given to a legislative program instituted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt shortly after he took office. The aim of the group of laws was to stimulate economic recovery. In order to promote support and understanding for the legislation, a battery of emblems, flags, and encouraging statements from distinguished and popular American figures was issued to the public. Ex-Governor of New York Alfred E. Smith urged public acceptance of the NRA. The influential Kate Smith (1909-) also campaigned for NRAÆs acceptance.

In June 1933, Congress passed the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA), one of many daring measures introduced by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in his ôfirst hundred daysö as president. Designed to revive industrial and business activity and to reduce unemployment, the NIRA put industry under a self-imposed fair competition code. Participants in the program displayed the Blue Eagle of the National Recovery Association, or NRA. Eleanor Roosevelt drove from the family estate in Hyde Park to her Val-Kill antique furniture shop, where she was part owner and an active supervisor. She tacked the symbolic Blue Eagle on her door, indicating that her small factory was subscribing to the code of the NRA.

Helen Morgan (1900-1941) travelled from life as a Chicago manicurist to stardom on stage, radio, screen, and nightclubs. She was described by artist James Montgomery Flagg as ôa composite of all the ruined women in the world,ö and her husky voice was perfect for songs about cheating mates and love gone wrong. By the time she was 25 years old, she was well-known for perching on a piano (her trademark) to sing over the heads of the nightclub crowds. She remained a nightclub and Broadway star for the rest of her 41 years.

Italo Balbo (1896-1940) was a famous Italian aviator and statesman. Balbo was the general of the Italian national militia and the first Italian minister of aviation. He was promoted to air marshal in 1933 and also governor-general of Libya. General Balbo organized multi-plane transatlantic flights to Brazil (1929) and to the United States (1933). In the latter flight, he commanded a squadron of 25 Italian planes in a flight from Rome to the Chicago WorldÆs Fair. While in New York, Balbo was honored with a ticker-tape parade.

Meyer set a new record for the distance as he whizzed his Tydol Special around at an average speed of 104.162 m.p.h.

A highlight of the opening ceremonies came that night when a beam of light from the star Arcturus, which astronomers noted had traveled 40 years to reach earth, was caught via telescopes and transmitted to a lighting switch in the tower of the ExpositionÆs Hall of Science.

On February 15, 1933, after delivering a speech at Bay Front Park in Miami, Florida, President-elect Franklin Roosevelt stood chatting with Mayor Anton Cermak of Chicago. Suddenly, Giuseppe Zangara, a 33-year-old unemployed bricklayer from Calabria, Italy, began firing at Roosevelt. His first shot struck Margaret Kruis standing near the President-elect. A second shot then hit Mayor Cermak just below his ribs. A third shot was deflected by Lillian Cross, who shoved ZangaraÆs arm upward, but hit Mrs. Joseph Gill.

The Versailles Peace Treaty, signed by Germany on June 28, 1919, forced Germany to submit to reparations, territorial supervision, and checks on remilitarization. In 1926, Germany was admitted to the League of Nations. At the 1933 World Conference on Disarmament in Geneva, BritainÆs Sir John Simon, supported by the United States and France, proposed a European armaments standstill for four years and eventual equalization of armaments between Germany and other European powers. On October 4, 1933, Hitler, with the backing of von Hindenburg, announced that Germany would not wait until 1938 to achieve arms equality with France, but would instead continue to stockpile arms.

Met Ott led the New York Giants to an easy five-game win (October 3-7, 1933) over the Washington Senators in the 1933 World Series. ôOttieö homered to win the first game and homered again to win the last. In between, he had enough hits (7) to compile a series-leading .389 batting average. The GiantsÆ pitching was excellent; Carl Hubbell won two games, and Hal Schumacher and Dolf Luque each won one. For Washington, the big disappointment was the pitching of their 24-game winner Alvin Crowder, who was knocked out of the game in both of his starts. that Germany would not wait until 1938 to achieve arms equality with France, but would instead continue to stockpile arms.

McGraw was lured out of retirement to manage the National League in the first interleague All-Star Game in baseball history. But the biggest star of them all, Babe Ruth, stole the show with a home run to give the American League a 4-2 victory at ChicagoÆs Comiskey Park. Losing was nothing new to McGraw: out of nine series appearances, McGrawÆs Giants lost six (1911, 1912, 1913, 1917, 1923, 1924). With a man on base in the third inning, Ruth drove a low line drive into the lower pavilion just inside the right field foul pole and broke into his famous home-run trot.

Notre Dame left end Wayne Millner penetrated the Army line late in the fourth period, blocked Maurice SimonsÆ punt and recovered the ball in the end zone to give Notre Dame a 13-12 victory in this 1933 game. The most disastrous season in Notre Dame football history had ended in a flash of victory. MillnerÆs score, the second of the fourth period for Notre Dame, came before a gathering of 78,000 fans at New YorkÆs Yankee Stadium, including Army Chief of Staff Douglas MacArthur, and New YorkÆs Mayor-Elect Fiorello La Guardia.

A clear blue sky, with the sun lending a hint of Indian summer, provided a perfect setting as Army continued its mastery over Navy by a score of 12-7 on November 25, 1933. The 78,000 fans had hardly settled into their seats at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, when Cadet Paul Johnson gathered in a Navy punt on his own 19-yard line, cut sharply to his left, and raced 81 yards for a touchdown, with 3 teammates forming a blocking escort.

By the year 1933, dress materials could be purchased for less than half their pre-depression prices. Sewing for the sake of economy came back into practice. Ready-made garments also dropped in price. Frequently resembling the better-made street dresses, house dresses were designed with ingenuity and charm and sold for one dollar. The classic shirtwaist dress, with its buttons down the front from neck to hem, came into general use during this period. The style was both simple and extremely popular.e period was out with a 38-yard gallop off his own right tackle.

In 1934 the world was fascinated by the birth of quintuplets in Canada. Cecile, Yvonne, Annette, Marie and Emilie Dionne were born in a seven-room farmhouse near Callender, Ontario, Canada on May 28, 1934. Their father, Elzire, a laborer, and mother, Oliva, were also the parents of five other children. The quintupletsÆ combined weight was 13 pounds, six ounces. They were delivered by a country doctor, Allen Dafoe, who saved their lives by his constant supervision and care. Dafoe worked through many nights, with few medicinal supplies, using warmed bricks in a makeshift incubator.

In the 1930s, the cumulative effect of harsh farming methods, combined with a severe and lengthy drought, turned much of AmericaÆs Great Plains region into an arid wasteland. Dust storms made day seem like night, and tens of thousands of families had to flee their once-rich land, many moving westward in the hope of finding work in California. An estimated 295,000 acres of land and 414,202 farms were engulfed in the huge dustbowl. In 1937 alone, 72 severe dust storms plagued the plains states, and sent thousands more families westward in search of work.

On Saturday morning, September 8, 1934, the four-year-old steamship Morro Castle, which had been described as the ôsafest ship of her size,ö caught fire eight miles off the coast of Asbury Park, New Jersey. Of the 318 passengers and 231 crew members aboard, 134 persons (90 passengers, 44 crew members) lost their lives in a disaster which led to new safety standards for all American flag vessels. In the early evening before the fire, Captain Robert Wilmott died of a heart attack while the ship fought a wild storm on a return trip to New York from Havana, Cuba.

On May 27, 1933, the Century of Progress Exposition opened in Chicago to celebrate the centennial of the founding of that city. By 1934, business had slackened, and to give the Fair a boost, popular entertainers were invited to attend the Exposition. Stars of stage, screen, and radio were brought to Chicago. Among them was ôAmericaÆs Sweetheart,ö Mary Pickford, longtime star of silent films. She cavorted, posed, and lent charm to the exhibits.

John Dillinger was one of the most feared and intensely hunted outlaws of the American Depression. Labeled Public Enemy Number One by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1933 and 1934, Dillinger was a murderous bank robber in an era before computerized communications and surveillance cameras. Dillinger had plastic surgery performed to change his appearance and used acid to alter his fingerprints, and once even whittled a wooden gun and used it to bluff himself out of jail.

Fanny Brice was known as a brilliant performer and comedian. She grew up on New York CityÆs lower East Side where she learned the accents, and the attitude, she would later use in her routines. Brice made her way through show business amateur nights and reached the then-booming burlesque circuit. Producer Florenz Ziegfeld made her a headliner in his Follies of 1910. In 1921, Ziegfeld felt that Fanny could make audiences cry as easily as she had made them howl; he presented Fanny singing My Man. Ziegfeld was right: audiences wept.

In 1934, the problems presented by the use of machinery to replace workers were aggravating the already high unemployment resulting from the most severe economic depression in AmericaÆs history. The increasing use of machinery continued to be a controversial issue throughout the century; for some labor unions, it was the most vital issue of the day.

On December 10, 1933, AmericaÆs first Ambassador to the 16-year-old Soviet government, William C. Bullitt, entered the Soviet Union. He was greeted at the border by representatives of the Foreign Office. It was the first time in Soviet history that any foreign ambassador had been met at the frontier or shown any attention before arriving in Moscow. Bullitt was accompanied by his own nine-year-old daughter, Ann, and three secretaries. Three days later, in Moscow, Mr. Bullitt was met at the gate of the Kremlin by the Soviet Chief of Protocol and conducted to the Alexandrosky Palace.

Ed Wynn began his career with a touring repertoire company as a straight dramatic actor; half a century later, Wynn again did straight dramatic roles to great applause. But in between, Wynn was ôThe Perfect Fool,ö a tremendously popular star of stage, screen, and television. Wynn began as a comedian who wrote his own material, music, lyrics, and jokes for over 11 years of vaudeville. He moved to Broadway in 1914, appearing in such shows as Ziegfeld Follies of 1914, Over the Top, The Perfect Fool and Laugh Parade.

Paul von Beneckendorff und von Hindenburg was one of GermanyÆs greatest military heroes. In 1925, at age 78, he was elected President of the Republic, an incarnation of the earlier days of German glory. Hindenburg was re-elected in 1932 and, yielding to the pressure of the emerging Nazi Party, he appointed Adolf Hitler as Chancellor. On August 2, 1934, at 9 oÆclock in the morning, 87-year-old von Hindenburg died. The same day, the government announced that Adolf Hitler had assumed the powers of head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces through a law enacted the day before, which combined the offices of Chancellor and President.9.axim Litvinov in a reception room adjacent to a former throne room of the Czars.e repeated annually.er telling Roosevelt, ôIÆm mighty glad it was me instead of you...the country needs you.ö Zangara, who was apparently crazed with pain from stomach ulcers, bought the .32 caliber pistol in a pawnshop for $8 when he heard Roosevelt was coming to Miami.

The Chicago Bears entered the second Professional Football Championship in 1934 having gone 33 games in a row without tasting defeat. Two top stars of the Bears team were out with injuries, but despite those losses the Bears were heavy favorites. The game was played before a crowd of 35,059 in New YorkÆs Polo Grounds, in frigid nine-degree weather with a sheet of ice covering the field. The contest became known as the ôSneaker Gameö because New York coach Steven Owen had his team don basketball sneakers during halftime.

St. Louis only slipped into this World Series because the New York Giants blew six of their last seven games to drop into second place. The Cardinals had had a remarkable season, with Dizzy Dean winning an amazing 30 games and brother Paul (also known as ôDaffyö) adding 19, including a no-hitter.

Some 40,000 fans turned out to see the 1934 Rose Bowl game between underdog Columbia and Stanford University at Pasadena, California. Through a steady and disheartening rain, the Lions splashed their way to a stunning 7-0 upset victory. ColumbiaÆs lone touchdown came in the second period. The Lions had twice driven within scoring distance of the Stanford goal, but had been halted both times by fumbles. Then, quarterback Cliff Montgomery took to the air and completed a pass to right end Tony Matal.

After the wild years of the late 1920s, the clothing fashions of the early 1930s were more artistic in line and silhouette than any since the early 1890s. A clothing designer was heard to remark: ôThe too-short skirt and the formless frock were used to express new-found feminine freedom. They exposed legs which were not always shapely. Some were too scrawny, others too plump and bulging.ö By 1934, skirts were again longer and tighter. As the skirts grew tighter, the shoulders of dresses grew larger with the help of padding. A new trend had started, and by 1936, for the first time in the history of the dress, it was considered beautiful for a woman to have shoulders wider than her hips.to a former throne room of the Czars.e repeated annually.er telling Roosevelt, ôIÆm mighty glad it was me instead of you...the country needs you.ö Zangara, who was apparently crazed with pain from stomach ulcers, bought the .32 caliber pistol in a pawnshop for $8 when he heard Roosevelt was coming to Miami.

Thousands attended the November 2 opening day of the 1935 Auto Show to see 300 new cars by 30 different makers. Safety seemed to be the new emphasis; most cars emphasized comfort and protection over the power and speed that had been popular the year before. The Cord 810 - advertised as ôThe Car of 1950ö - was the star of the show, with innovations years ahead of the other automobiles. Most 1936 cars were bulky, boxy, and bus-like. The Cord, on the other hand, was a vision in curves, a ground-hugger and front-wheeler whose radiator, headlights, door hinges, and gas cap were concealed behind smooth lines. Its impressive instrument panel thrilled car buffs. Despite its dazzling debut, the CordÆs days were numbered. Radiator and gear shift troubles overshadowed its elegance; from 1936 to 1937 only 3,100 were sold..the country needs you.ö Zangara, who was apparently crazed with pain from stomach ulcers, bought the .32 caliber pistol in a pawnshop for $8 when he heard Roosevelt was coming to Miami.

On March 21, 1935, when George Bernard Shaw sailed from England for a holiday in South Africa, he responded to reporters in the usual Shavian manner. ôItÆs nice to go for a holiday and know that Hitler has settled everything so well in Europe,ö said Shaw. ShawÆs dry comments on any subject, particularly world figures, often provoked a public reaction. Was he serious? Or was he joking? No matter what, he was always quotable. Very early in his career, George Bernard Shaw established a reputation for eccentricity, biting wit and persistent revolt against commonly accepted conventions.

Hitler and the Nazis were masters of dramatic public political theater. The FuhrerÆs 46th birthday celebration was a notable case in point. The April 20th, 1935 parade was a show of military strength designed to impress and inspire the German people, with whom Hitler was already very popular. It also served as a warning to any nation that might stand in the way of German resurgence.? No matter what, he was always quotable.

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), a part of Franklin RooseveltÆs New Deal program, was established in 1933 to plan and develop the entire Tennessee River Valley area. Water, power, soil conservation, rural electrification, forest conservation, flood control, and river navigation were all under the newly legislated development programs. Under powers granted by Congress, the TVA built dams, power plants, electric transmission lines, and housing projects.

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) became AmericaÆs most distinguished guest when he took refuge from the Nazis on October 17, 1933. EinsteinÆs dramatic defiance of Hitler resulted in revocation of his citizenship and property; the German government put a price on his head. On October 22, 1935, Professor Einstein was one of several after-dinner speakers at the Town Hall Club in New York City who appealed for funds to help refugees from Germany who were facing starvation in various parts of the world. He pointed out that while German fascism was directed mostly against the Jews ôto purify the Aryan race in Germany,ö there were also other victims of Nazi terror. Einstein said: ôto leave these victims to their misery would be a heavy blow to all those who believe in human solidarity, and would encourage those who believe only in force and oppression to act accordingly.ötly crazed with pain from stomach ulcers, bought the .32 caliber pistol in a pawnshop for $8 when he heard Roosevelt was coming to Miami.

The Depression provided a big stage for would-be leaders with easy answers to the problems of the day. Father Charles Coughlin launched a radio program that gathered up to five million listeners every Sunday as he discussed the nationÆs problems. His audience sent him tens of thousands of dollar bills to support his ôNational Union for Social Justice.ö Another splinter group was headed by the senator from Louisiana, Huey P. ôKingfishö Long. Long was an enthusiastic New Deal backer until he tried, and failed, to manipulate Franklin Roosevelt. Instead Long launched his ôEvery Man A Kingö program, proposing the government confiscate all fortunes over $50 million and distribute the money evenly. When Long was assassinated on September 8, 1935, many of his listeners turned to Dr. Francis L. Townsend, a California physician whose Old Age Revolving Pension Plan (advocating the monthly payment of $200 to every person over 60) had gained him much support among the senior citizenry.

For 42 years, Huey Pierce Long led a charmed life, rising from travelling salesman to dictator of Louisiana politics. Along the way, he became the stateÆs governor, was a United States Senator, and was attacking Franklin Roosevelt in preparation for a run for President of the United States. His book, My First Days In The White House, was ready for publication at the time of his death. On the evening of September 8, 1935, accompanied by his ever-present bodyguards, ôThe Kingfishö left a session of the Louisiana legislature. From a dark corner in the Capitol corridor, a young man shoved a revolver into LongÆs side and fired. He fired once again before the bodyguards shot him down with 35 bullets from a submachine gun.

Following a storybook romance, Charles Lindbergh and Anne Morrow lived peacefully in Hopewell, New Jersey. In March, 1932, their baby was kidnapped. Two months later, the babyÆs body was found. Two years later, Bruno Hauptmann was arrested for the crime. Marked ransom money was traced to him. Other evidence, including hand-writing analysis, pointed to Hauptmann as the perpetrator.

Bruno Richard Hauptmann was arrested on September 19, 1934 for the 1932 kidnapping of Charles Lindbergh III, infant son of the famous aviator. Hauptmann was found with ransom money from the kidnapping in his garage, along with a large amount of other circumstantial evidence.

American League pitchers Lefty Gomez of New York and Mel Harder of Cleveland yielded only four hits between them in hurling the American League to a 4-1 decision in the All-Star Game at ClevelandÆs Municipal Stadium on July 8, 1935. It was the third straight victory for the American League since the All-Star game began in 1933.

Hemlines, which had hiked up almost to the knees in the 1920s, began to drop in the 1930s.

Upon the death of King George V on January 20, 1936, the Prince of Wales succeeded to the throne as Edward VIII. His intention to marry Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee, precipitated a crisis. The government saw Simpson as an unsuitable bride and viewed EdwardÆs refusal to accede to its wishes as a threat to constitutional procedure. The King insisted upon his right to marry the woman of his choice. Since no resolution seemed possible, the King abdicated and on December 11, 1936, EdwardÆs brother, King George VI, succeeded him.

During the 1930s, amidst the worst depression in AmericaÆs history, many labor strikes took place. Some of the struggles between the strikers and the police resulted in violence, such as the dock strike in San Francisco, the automobile strike in Flint, Michigan, and the steel strike in Chicago. It was also a period of great political activity by the communists, whose U.S. members numbered about 100,000 during this time.

When the 1936 Olympics were awarded to Germany in 1931, no one expected that in five years Germany would be taken over by Hitler and his Nazis. Hitler saw the games as a chance to prove Teutonic racial superiority and spared neither money nor effort in the cause. The Berlin Games and the German Olympic Team cost the Nazis over $30 million. The Reichssportfeld measured 325 acres, and the stadium held 110,000 spectators. The total gate receipts for the 16-day Olympiad were better than $2,800,000, reflecting an attendance of more than 5 million people. he title of Duke of Windsor and on June 3, 1937, he married Wallis Simpson in France. ain before the bodyguards shot him down with 35 bullets from a submachine gun.

Although beset with problems created by Nazi control, the XI Olympics were successful and their technical direction, with German thoroughness, was nearly perfect. The star of this Olympiad, to HitlerÆs dismay, was a black American, Jesse Owens (1913-1980). Owens won track and field gold medals, an accomplishment without parallel in modern Olympic history until 1984, when American Carl Lewis repeated the feat.

The Republicans gathered in Cleveland for their 1936 convention. Four years of Democratic president Franklin Delano Roosevelt had convinced some Republicans that success could only be achieved with a new leader and an anti-New Deal platform. Kansas Governor Alfred M. Landon, who held office through the New Deal landslides of 1932 and 1934, seemed the ideal candidate.

The Democratic convention of 1936 was mostly a routine endorsement of the administration and leadership of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The popular president was renominated by acclamation with no vote taken. John Nance Garner, who later likened the vice presidency to a ôpitcher of warm spit,ö was named RooseveltÆs running mate. In his acceptance speech, Roosevelt defended his so-called New Deal and attacked ôeconomic royalistsö who he said ôhad created a new despotism wrapped in the robes of legal sanction.ö He promised to ôdrive the money changers from the temple.ö ition. dsor and on June 3, 1937, he married Wallis Simpson in France. ain before the bodyguards shot him down with 35 bullets from a submachine gun.

In the 1936 campaign, the Democrats were vehemently attacked by the Republicans. The G.O.P. faced an uphill battle: Franklin Roosevelt and Vice-President John Nance Garner had been popular with middle America during the depression. Generally speaking, conservatives, big business, and many of the elderly were against the Democrats, and 80 percent of the countryÆs newspapers supported Republicans. Yet Roosevelt, continued to successfully hammer away at what he called ôeconomic royalistsö who had contempt for the welfare of the nation.

Republican candidates faced a quandary in 1936: how to adopt the most popular New Deal reforms, yet still woo voters away from the original New Dealers, the Democrats? Governor Alfred Landon of Kansas tried to keep the campaign from degenerating into a battle between the working class and the big business class, but he eventually joined in direct attacks on Roosevelt.

In 1936 the reputable and influential Literary Digest predicted a solid presidential victory for Republican Alf Landon, as did most of the nationÆs newspapers. But shortly after polls closed in Eastern states, areas that had been Republican since LincolnÆs day began to report Democratic pluralities. Republican strongholds across the country toppled like a house of cards. Landon graciously conceded to Democrat Franklin Roosevelt at one oÆclock in the morning.

Arnold Constable and Company of New York City designed the second inaugural gowns for Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of President Franklin Roosevelt. The ôVictory Blueö dress for the morning ceremony was street length with a pleated panel front. For the afternoon reception, Mrs. Roosevelt chose a red dress with a floor-length tunic and a simple V-neckline.

The modern era of professional football actually began in 1933, when the first World Championship game was played. The Chicago Bears defeated the New York Giants, 23-21. In 1934 the first College All-Star game was played in Chicago; and in 1935, Bert Bell proposed the player selection system, or ôdraft,ö which insured that no professional football team would dominate the National Football League.

Although the 1936 Boston Redskins were a championship contender in the National Football League all season long, Boston fans refused to support the club because the Redskin franchise was being relocated to Washington. As a result, the championship game with the Green Bay Packers was played on a neutral field, New YorkÆs Polo Grounds. before a big turnout of nearly 30,000 fans.

Rookie star Joe DiMaggio, left the San Francisco Seals, to join the New York Yankees in the 1936 season. He joined veteran slugger Babe Ruth to help the Yankees win the American League pennant in a breeze. The New York Giants of the National League, meanwhile, came on strong in the latter part of the season to beat out the Cubs and Cardinals by five games. In the World Series, pitcher Carl Hubbell led the Giants to a 6-1 triumph in the first game; but the Bronx Bombers won the second game 18-4 and went on to take the series (Sept. 30, Oct. 2-6, 1936) in six games.ry: 523 electoral votes to 8.

In early 1932, the Japanese invaded and occupied the Chinese province of Manchuria. After five years of consolidation, Japan launched a major invasion into the rest of China on July 27, 1937. Superior Japanese air power rained bombs and bullets on Chinese soldiers and civilians alike. Facing sporadic resistance from both Nationalist Chinese forces and communist guerrillas under Mao Tse-Tung, the Japanese gained extensive, but not total, control of the entire country.

On September 18, 1931, Japan initiated an invasion to wrest Manchuria from Chinese control. The United States and League of Nations protested but took no retaliatory measures. On November 11, 1936, Japan signed a pact with Nazi Germany. Threatened by the possibility of allied resistance, the Japanese launched a major invasion on July 27, 1937. The invasion was a bloody and brutal success; but the fighting in China kept a Japanese army of one million tied down and was of crucial importance to allied success in the Pacific theater.

In August 1938, Benny Goodman led his orchestra at a benefit performance for a Los Angeles sanatorium. The concert took place before 18,000 fans in New YorkÆs Madison Square Garden, and when the ôKing of Swingö and his band played, it was hard for the youngsters to remain seated. GoodmanÆs music helped create dance crazes like the jitterbug and the Lindy hop. Over five decades of performance, GoodmanÆs band attracted some of the worldÆs greatest jazz musicians, including drummer Gene Krupa, pianist Teddy Wilson, and legendary vibraphonist Lionel Hampton.

By the summer of 1940, England alone remained at war with Germany. After the fall of Dunkirk, Hitler spelled out his terms for peace; but British leader Winston Churchill rejected the FuhrerÆs offer and Englishmen rallied in what became ôtheir finest hour.ö On August 6, 1940, the German Luftwaffe began the first massive air attack on England, and on September 7, 320 German bombers and 600 fighters flew up the Thames to smash London.

With the unprecedentedly large defeat of 1936 still fresh in delegatesÆ memories, the Republican convention of 1940 was more determined than ever to find a new face and a hard-hitting platform. Thomas E. Dewey, New YorkÆs racket-busting District Attorney, had the backing of Eastern professionals. The ôold guardö favored powerful Ohio senator Robert A. Taft.

The 28th National Convention of the Democratic Party opened with a message from President Roosevelt stating that he had no desire to run for a third term and was releasing delegates pledged to him. Nevertheless, on July 18th, Roosevelt was nominated on the first ballot. The nomination broke new ground: no president in history had served more than two terms, and only two - U.S. Grant and Theodore Roosevelt - had attempted to break the tradition. Both were defeated.

At the start of the 1940 Republican presidential campaign, the voting public knew little about Wendell Willkie. A tireless campaigner, Willkie crisscrossed the country for two months, travelling almost 20,000 miles. Despite WillkieÆs personal charm and appeal, Roosevelt was still the dominant figure in the campaign. The President refused to debate Willkie on domestic issues, insisting he could not ôadjourn the Battle of Britain in order to ride the circuitö with a political opponent.

In 1940 incumbent Democratic president Franklin Roosevelt announced he would keep himself aloof from ôdirty politicsö as Commander-in-Chief of a country in a war-torn world. While Roosevelt was projecting a global image, other Democratic candidates stumped on domestic issues. Ignoring Republican Wendell WillkieÆs accusations that a third term would make Roosevelt a ôwould-be dictator,ö the Democrats campaigned as if they were running against unpopular former president Herbert Hoover.

As a third-term candidate for U.S. President, Franklin Roosevelt was bucking a 151-year-old tradition of two-term presidencies. Yet in October 1940, polls showed that 56% of the voters favored F.D.R. to continue as President. The issue of a third term seemed to pale in the public mind by comparison to Adolf HitlerÆs blitzkrieg through Europe, the Battle of Britain and the alliance of Tokyo, Rome, and Berlin.

Two days after a defense agreement between Britain and the U.S. was signed, critics of Franklin RooseveltÆs foreign policy announced formation of the America First Committee.

After his defeat in the 1940 Presidential Election, Wendell Willkie had little in common with the professional politicians of the Republican Party, being far more favorably disposed to views of the Democrats regarding foreign policy. After trying to lead reluctant Republicans in Congress toward his views of the international scene, Willkie finally insisted on speaking out.

Prince of Wales, and the U.S. cruiser Augusta, the two leaders formulated a statement of common goals for world affairs. Dubbed the Atlantic Charter, the statement urged measures including renunciation of territorial expansion, freedom of the seas, disarmament of aggressors, and the right of each nation to self-determination.

Rudolf Hess was a close friend of Adolf Hitler and, along with Herman Goering, a deputy leader of the Nazi party. Yet Hess stunned the world, and perhaps Hitler as well, by secretly flying to Scotland on May 10, 1941. After being quickly captured, Hess explained that he was on a special mission to reach a settlement between Germany and Britain. The explanation seemed confused, and Hess was held as a prisoner of war by the British until released in 1945 to stand trial at Nuremberg.

Despite signing a peace pact with Josef Stalin in 1939, Adolf Hitler was convinced war between Nazism and Soviet Communism was inevitable. German strategy was to destroy the main force of the Red army as close to the Soviet western border as possible. Hitler attacked on June 22, 1941, and by December German forces were a scant 20 miles from Moscow. But October rains and mud, followed by sub-zero temperatures, stalled the Nazi advance.

On December 7, 1941, with peace negotiations still being conducted in Washington, carrier-borne Japanese airplanes attacked the American naval and air bases at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The attack was a complete and devastating surprise to American forces. Within two hours, 19 U.S. ships were sunk or severely damaged, including 8 battleships, and 188 planes were destroyed. American military casualties were 2,280 dead and 1,109 wounded; Japanese casualties numbered less than 100.

An exciting Brooklyn club brought Dodger fans their first pennant since 1920, and then went on to lose the World Series to the Joe DiMaggio-led Yankees. Bad breaks hurt Leo DurocherÆs Dodgers, including a World Series classic error: in the fourth game, Tommy Henrich swung and missed a third-strike pitch that should have ended the game. But the pitch got away from Dodger catcher Mickey Owen, Henrich ran safely to first base, and the Yankees went on to stage a four-run uprising and win the game 7-4.or the first time in nearly a quarter-century, American soldiers spent a Christmas at war.season.on.

The 1941 NFL championship was played two weeks after Pearl Harbor before a tiny crowd of 13,341. There seemed little question that the Western division was tougher, and the Bears were strong favorites to win the game. In the third period, Ward Cuff kicked a 17-yard field goal to tie the score at 9-9, but from then on it was all Bears.

In the summer of 1941, Japan cut off silk shipments to the United States due to American resistance to Japanese foreign policy. Since silk was used by the military for powder bags and parachutes, the U.S. government ordered all processing of raw silk for civilian purposes stopped. A government-controlled pool was created to distribute silk in a manner that kept processing plants open and preserved jobs. All exports of silk, except to countries actively resisting aggression, were banned. And at home, silk stockings were scarce for the duration.American soldiers spent a Christmas at war.season.on.

On December 7, 1941, in addition to their attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese launched an invasion of the Philippines and the British colonies of Hong Kong and Malaya. The Japanese met with continuous success and drove steadily toward Singapore. The Japanese army of 200,000 trained jungle fighters moved steadily south, defeating the British in skirmish after skirmish. Singapore surrendered on February 15th, and 85,000 troops became prisoners of the Japanese.

On July 8, 1942, the Japanese landed on Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands, and set about building an airstrip from which they would be able to launch attacks against Hawaii. The American high command quickly sent in the Marines, who drove out the Japanese invaders. Six months of brutal combat followed as the Japanese tried to retake Guadalcanal. The Marines beat back the repeated, ferocious Japanese attacks, including constant harassment from the air. Naval fighting was also intense.

On December 8, 1941, the Japanese attacked American forces on the island of Luzon in the Philippine archipelago. The crippling blow the Japanese had dealt to the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor gave them absolute naval superiority and enabled them to isolate the Bataan peninsula garrison from food and supplies. As U.S. troops were weakened by hunger and disease, the Japanese were constantly reinforced with fresh troops. During the Bataan death march thousands of American troops died.

Following defeat at Stalingrad in 1943, Nazi Germany began a slow, irreversible decline. With huge reserves of manpower, a surprising industrial capacity and lend-lease aid from the United States, the Soviets had the decided advantage over smaller Germany in a war of attrition. The Soviet effort was costly but crucial to allied success: A determined Adolf Hitler was forced to commit nearly 70% of his forces to the Eastern Front and lost over 3 million men there.

On August 23, 1942, German armies fought their way to the outskirts of the Soviet city of Stalingrad. But here Soviet troops stalled the Nazi advance. General Georgi Zhukov assembled one million men for a counteroffensive against the overconfident, over-extended German forces. On November 19, ZhukovÆs troops went into action, surrounding Stalingrad completely. With no winter uniforms and little food, the Germans were forced to surrender on January 31, 1943, with one pocket of resistance holding out until February 2.

Italy launched its first offensive in North Africa in September 1940, only to be driven back by the British. In a lightning 10-day thrust in 1941, German General Erwin Rommel (later known as the ôDesert Foxö) recovered most of North Africa for the Axis. The British Army, now led by Lt. General Bernard Montgomery, returned in October 1942 to defeat Rommel at El Alamein, then chased the Germans 1,400 miles east across the desert to Tripoli, Libya. In February 1943, Rommel lost the Battle of Kasserine Pass.

On May 7, 1943, the end of the North African campaign came with decisive speed. Bizerte and Tunis fell. The German and Italian contingents disregarded HitlerÆs orders to fight to the last man, threw down their arms and surrendered. The Allies were amazed to see more than a quarter of a million hardbitten enemy desert veterans surrender. At long last the Allies were on the march.

After the stunning Japanese victory at Pearl Harbor, the military put modified long-range B-25 bombers on a naval aircraft carrier, with Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle in command. On April 1, 1942, 16 crews boarded the carrier Hornet and put to sea, headed for Tokyo. On April 16 the heavy planes took flight. DoolittleÆs force reached the mainland and dropped their bombs on the stunned citizens of Tokyo, then flew on to land in China.

James H. ôJimmyö Doolittle was an Army flying instructor during World War I. He left the Army in 1930 to work for Shell Oil Company. In 1940, he returned to active duty and won the Congressional Medal of Honor for leading a daring, carrier-launched attack against the Japanese mainland on April 18, 1942. Doolittle directed North African bombing raids against Germany throughout 1944-45; in 1945 Doolittle, now a lieutenant general, moved with his command to Okinawa.

On December 27, 1941, the U.S. initiated rationing to strengthen industry for the war effort. The Office of Price Administration was established on January 30, 1942 to set prices for commodities. Automobile tires, gasoline, dairy products, fat and oils and sugar were among the first goods rationed. Cigarettes and coffee were also rationed and all nylon and silk items, especially stockings, were scarce. Thriving black markets sprang up to meet the demand for commonplace products that the war had made into luxury items.ilians. the Battle of Kasserine Pass.

The German army marched into Paris on June 14, 1940 and the victors took the spoils. Life went on, but Paris became a painted shell for the benefit of HitlerÆs armies. The press was severely censored. Parisians were deprived of fuel and electricity. The Germans executed 29,660 French hostages and 40,000 others died in prisons. The French Underground was eventually mobilized to resist the enemy within France.

Although an ocean separated New York City from enemy bombers, a city with millions of inhabitants and intricate transportation systems had to be prepared for any emergency. In New YorkÆs first drill on April 30, 1942, Manhattan was blacked out for 20 minutes from Greenwich Village to 124th Street. The first city-wide blackout on June 5 plunged 320 square miles into total darkness. Further drills, led by popular Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, were held throughout the war to accustom people to the precautions needed for air raids.. the Battle of Kasserine Pass.

British Commando raids jabbed at the German-held coastline of Europe. One such raid on August 19, 1942, engaged 1,000 British Commandos, and 5,000 Canadians and U.S. Rangers in a surprise assault on the port city of Dieppe, France. Although the landing was a deadly failure -- Allied casualties numbered 3,829 out of 6,000 soldiers taking part -- Winston Churchill later described the action as an important rehearsal for the D-Day invasion of Normandy.

On Monday, February 23, 1942, a Japanese submarine fired about 25 shells at the California mainland. The missiles were aimed at the Bankline Oil Refinery on the edge of the Ellwood Oil Field, 12 miles west of Santa Barbara, California. The shelling began soon after 7 p.m. (Pacific War Time) while President Roosevelt was on the radio speaking to the nation. Little damage was caused, but the entire Santa Barbara area was blacked out and some public panic ensued. It was the first attack on the American mainland during World War II.ied landing tactics.

On February 9, 1942, the gigantic French luxury liner Normandie caught fire when a workmanÆs torch set fire to life preservers. Five trucks and a half-dozen New York fireboats poured so much water onto the ship to combat the fire that the Normandie began to list. The water in the ship later froze and thus it became impossible to pump it dry. Twelve hours after the first alarm, the great liner settled gently on her side. The Normandie, whose owners had sent her to New York when the war began in Europe, was declared surplus and sold for scrap at a fraction of its original value.saults on Bizerta and Tunis began, and by April 22, the German Air Force ceded control of the air to the Allies.llets from a submachine gun.

On October 21, 1942, Captain Eddie Rickenbacker and a crew of seven took off from Hawaii. Rickenbacker, AmericaÆs leading fighter ace in World War I, was making an inspection tour of U.S. air bases in the Pacific. But his Flying Fortress bomber became lost and crashed at sea. The party then dispersed in three life boats. The men remained lost at sea for 22 days, surviving on rain water and raw fish. Navy planes finally rescued the planeÆs pilot on November 11th, and Rickenbacker and five others on November 12th.

Allied shipping losses in the early years of World War II were so heavy that a flood of new ships were needed to meet wartime transport needs. Rushing to fill the gap was industrialist Henry J. Kaiser. Though he began with no prior experience in shipbuilding, KaiserÆs many innovations enabled him to produce faster and more efficiently than his competitors. By December 1942, the 70 Kaiser shipyards in 40 states turned out an average of one ship every 15.3 hours. Kaiser, hailed by some as a 20th century Paul Bunyan, played a crucial part in the home-front war effort.me Through, published in 1943.nd Tunis began, and by April 22, the German Air Force ceded control of the air to the Allies.llets from a submachine gun.

In the fall of 1942 Wendell Willkie, the 1940 Republican candidate for the presidency, toured the Middle East. Upon his return, Willkie gave a nationally-broadcast radio address, on October 26, 1942, which laid out a remarkably accurate view of the future of world politics. Willkie forecasted and supported the march toward civil liberties on a world scale. He predicted the drive towards independence in Asia and Africa. He questioned the infallibility of military experts, and insisted that men of power should be exposed to ôdemocracyÆs greatest power - the whiplash of public opinion, developed from honest, free discussion.ö 22, the German Air Force ceded control of the air to the Allies.llets from a submachine gun.

Businessman Nelson Rockefeller was appointed Coordinator of Inter-American relations in 1940, with the task of overseeing U.S. - South American relations. His biggest triumph was the Brazil Food Pact, signed in Rio de Janeiro in 1942. The pact involved a $5 million dollar campaign for seven states in Brazil, giving them farm implements and other supplies to help make them agriculturally self-sufficient. Within one year, these same states were able to supply foodstuffs to U.S. military and naval bases in Brazil.xposed to ôdemocracyÆs greatest power - the whiplash of public opinion, developed from honest, free discussion.ö 22, the German Air Force ceded control of the air to the Allies.llets from a submachine gun.

In June 1942, German submarines landed eight men on the eastern coast of the United States. Six of the would-be saboteurs were apprehended by the FBI within ten days; the other two were captured four days later. Although the objective of the saboteurs was the disruption of American industrial production, they accomplished no damage before their arrest. On August 8, 1942, six of the saboteurs were executed in the electric chair.

Early on the morning of November 29, 1942, 484 persons perished in a fire at the Coconut Grove nightclub in Boston. The club was packed with more than 750 Saturday night customers. A busboy, replacing a lightbulb, lit a match so that he could see better. The match touched off an artificial palm tree; in a matter of seconds, the nightclub was a shrieking, screaming shambles.

Easter Parade fashions of 1942 reflected the sentiments of patriotic crowds as New York City celebrated its first wartime Easter since 1918. Paradoxically, the holiday was one of the cityÆs brightest in years, featuring a crowded Easter Parade on avenues and churches.

U.S. planes thwarted the first and second Japanese attacks; armed with the coded messages, American bombers quickly located and destroyed four of YamamotoÆs aircraft carriers.

On November 20, 1943, U.S. Marines landed on tiny Tarawa Atoll as part of the larger effort to take the Gilbert Islands. United States ships pounded the island with 3,000 tons of shells before the landing. But the 5,000 Japanese defenders were sheltered in pillboxes with roofs and walls up to six feet thick. When the Marines hit the beaches, the Japanese poured out. Both sides took heavy losses as the Marines slowly gained a toehold.

The Italian mountain town of Cassino served as a key stronghold and observation point for the German army in World War II. On February 15, 1944, the Allies dropped over 450 tons of bombs on the town. The Germans held on despite this assault and continued to repel attacks by British, Canadian, Indian, New Zealand, and U.S. troops. On May 11, the allies launched another barrage followed by a ground assault. Cassino finally fell after seven more days of fierce fighting.

In the fall of 1943, the veteran British Eighth Army under General Bernard Montgomery established beachheads on the southern shores of the Italian peninsula. The American Fifth Army, under General Mark Clark, landed farther north at Salerno.

On June 4, 1944 at 7:30 p.m., the 88th Division of the U.S. Fifth Army under General Mark Clark marched on the Piazza Venezia in the heart of Rome. Earlier that day Rome had been declared an open city. Allied troops were greeted with cheers accompanied by flowers, fruit, and chianti from a grateful people who had feared the levelling of the Eternal City. ôThe first Axis capital is in our handsö commented President Roosevelt. ôOne up and two to go!ö fierce fighting.

In New York City in 1943, 27-year-old crooner Frank Sinatra broke all records for a solo engagement at the Paramount Theater. On a typical night, 30,000 high school girls shrieked and swooned so much that 400 police and 20 patrol cars had to be summoned to control the mob.

On September 17, 1942, U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt and his wife Eleanor embarked upon a cross-country tour of American wartime facilities. Roosevelt visited arsenals, bomber plants, shipyards, aircraft plants and military installations. In a later speech to the nation, Roosevelt reported that he was struck by the dedication and good spirits of the soldiers and plant workers with whom he came into contact.

Mail to servicemen from home, while vital, took up too much room on Allied cargo planes early in World War II. So in 1942, the Army and the Post Office developed V-Mail -- a system by which letters were reduced to microfilm for shipping. In less than three seconds, a letter could be photographed on a 16mm negative; a 100-foot roll of microfilm contained 1,500 letters. When the rolls reached their destinations, the letters were enlarged to normal size.

By early 1943, the civilian population had started its own war effort. Air raid wardens worked at their drills. Tens of thousands of men, women, and teenagers volunteered their time as plane spotters. Women were found working in hospitals, homes, or available empty stores, wrapping rolls of bandages with instructions given by Red Cross volunteers. Children sold war bonds and stamps, and college girls took over farm chores.

In 1943, Joe DiMaggio, the great Yankee star, left his $50,000-a-year job as the center fielder for the New York club to take a $50-a-month job with Uncle Sam. DiMaggio waived his 3-A draft status (meaning eligible to serve but deferred because of his service to the nation as a baseball player) to join the service. DiMaggio had batted .305 in 1942, the seventh consecutive year he had hit .300 or better.

On September 23, 1943, Eleanor Roosevelt was back in Washington, D.C. after a 25,000-mile voyage to Southwest Pacific battle stations. Mrs. RooseveltÆs days were spent in countless public appearances, long walks through hospital wards, talks with hundreds of wounded servicemen, and inspections of overseas facilities of the Red Cross.

By June 7, 1942, the Japanese had captured Kiska and Attu, westernmost of the Aleutian Islands. American leaders felt it was vital to recapture these islands so they could be used as bases from which to bomb Tokyo. On May 11, 1943, U.S. forces landed on Attu and by May 30, 1943 had recaptured it. On August 15, 1943, a combined American-Canadian force of 34,000 men invaded Kiska, only to discover that the enemy had withdrawn.e went.

During World War II, as tens of thousands of American men enlisted in the armed forces, the domestic labor pool was depleted. Women workers soon began to take the place of men in nearly every phase of war industry. By 1943, more than 2 million women were working in war industries, most of them drawn from the 13 million women who did not have children under 16 years old. The government announced that studies showed women could perform 80 percent of the duties required in the 21 key war industries.

On July 30, 1942, the United States Navy formed a WomenÆs Auxiliary Service called the WAVES (Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service). The same year the first female Officer Candidates began at the U.S. Naval Training School in Northampton, Massachusetts; training of enlisted women started in October. WAVES were trained primarily to replace men who could go into combat. They did not serve aboard ship, nor were they allowed to carry arms.

By December 6, 1943, Allied leaders had selected American General Dwight D. Eisenhower as Commander in Chief for Operation Overlord, the forthcoming invasion of the continent of Europe. Over the next six months, EisenhowerÆs strategic staff targeted the beaches of Normandy, France for the first assault. As planning went forward, the Allies assembled forces including 150,000 men, 1,500 tanks, 5,300 ships and craft, and 12,000 planes.

The D-Day ground invasion began as Allied soldiers waded onto the beaches of Normandy in the west of France. The beaches were code-named Omaha Utah, Juno Gold and Sword. Allied soldiers were greeted by heavy fire, but all day and all night the Allies poured reinforcements ashore. At Utah, airborne divisions outfought three German divisions but suffered 2,500 casualties. By the end of D-Day, Omaha Beach was cleared, at a cost of 3,000 casualties.

When the invasion of Normandy began on June 6, 1944, Hitler was asleep. By the time he awoke, most of the German troops had already been overwhelmed by Allied air attacks. German counterattacks did not begin until the next day, with top German generals divided on how to stop the Allied invasion. Within five days, the Allied forces had landed 16 divisions and seized 80 miles of the Normandy coast.

Resistance was fierce, but American forces secured the island on July 9, 1944. Before U.S. assault troops landed on Kwajalein on January 1, U.S. Navy warships and planes plastered the island, plus Ebeye and Loi islands, with 15,000 tons of high explosives.

In 1944, Congress established a Federal War Ballot Commission to ensure the votes of 8 million servicemen away from home were counted accurately. Georgia became the first state in the union to lower the traditional 21-year-old qualification to 18-year-olds. The 1944 election marked the final defeat of many Republican isolationists and brought to office a number of Republicans with more active world interest.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected President of the United States for an unprecedented fourth time in 1944. The 1944 elections were the first time since 1864 that Americans chose a president in the midst of war; most voters apparently decided not to risk a change in such a crucial period. Another factor in RooseveltÆs reelection was the impact of the labor vote. Millions of migrant war workers voted for the man who they felt had lifted them from the relief rolls and made them productive members of society.

On January 20, 1945, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was inaugurated for the fourth time in one of the shortest and simplest inaugural ceremonies on record. Only 7,800 invited guests and the 13 Roosevelt grandchildren witnessed the inauguration, which took place on the south portico of the White House, a place seldom used for the ceremony.

On July 24, 1943 King Victor Emmanuel III ordered the arrest of former Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. Seven weeks after his arrest, supporters rescued Mussolini from his internment quarters in Abruzzi, and took him to northern Italy. There Mussolini attempted to set up a new Nazi-backed Fascist regime. But his days were numbered; Italian partisans caught up with him on April 26, 1945.

American and Russian forces met on April 25, 1945 at Torgau on the Elbe River, about 75 miles south of Berlin. Advance patrols of the 69th Division of the U.S. Fifth Corps greeted soldiers of the Russian 58th Guards Division commanded by Marshal Ivan Konev. Sensing the end of the war was near, the two groups staged a riotous celebration, with feasting, singing, and dancing. Moscow hailed the Torgau meeting with 24 salvos from 324 guns.

British Prime Minister Winston Churchill visited Allied front lines early in 1945. One stop on his tour was the Siegfried Line, a German defensive barricade which had given the Allies considerable trouble on their push into Germany.

When liberating Allied forces entered Germany, they discovered dozens of Nazi extermination camps used throughout the war. Adolf Hitler had hoped to destroy what he considered the ôinferiorö and ôculture-destroyingö people of Europe: Jews, Poles, Gypsies, and other minorities.

At 3:35 p.m., Central Standard Time, April 12, 1945, Franklin D. Roosevelt died of a cerebral hemorrhage at his Warm Springs, Ga. retreat. He was having his portrait painted when the stroke occurred. Roosevelt had been scheduled to make an important Jefferson Day address, so press secretary Steve Early gave out copies of the never-delivered speech to the reporters on the funeral train from Georgia to Washington.

American soldiers won the island of Iwo Jima from the Japanese through the bloodiest campaign to that date in Marine history. Iwo Jima was subjected to 72 days of air assault; Army, Navy, and Marine flyers worked together to bombard the island fortress. Still the Japanese troops dug in for a suicidal stand. The Marines shed blood for every foot of land they won as the Japanese fought defiantly to the end. Both sides took staggering casualties. By March 16, almost the entire Japanese garrison of 21,000 men had been wiped out.

Okinawa Island was the last and bloodiest victory in the American Pacific island campaign. On April 1, 1945, after ten days of naval saturation bombing, U.S. Army troops and Marines landed on the west coast of Okinawa. The Japanese made their stand at the southern end of the island. Furious fighting followed; even after Americans occupied OkinawaÆs capital, the Japanese refused to surrender. As U.S. troops used flame throwers to clean out pockets of resistance, the Japanese committed a series of mass suicides.

The Kamikaze was a Japanese naval organization whose chief membership requirement was the desire to die for the Emperor. Japan had no trouble finding Kamikaze pilots; selection as such a pilot was considered a great personal and national honor. Kamikaze planes were launched conventionally, or from bombers, loaded with explosives in the nose of the craft. The Kamikaze pilot guided his plane directly toward a target and would be himself destroyed in the explosion.

The Kamikazes -- a suicide division of the Japanese Navy -- sunk 34 American ships and damaged 368 in the course of World War II. One devastating attack occurred on May 11, 1945, when two Kamikaze planes crashed onto the U.S. aircraft carrier Bunker Hill, killing 373 crew members and injuring 264. During the Luzon operations, almost 2,000 U.S. and Australian navymen were killed by the suicide pilots.

Ernie Pyle, writing for 14 million readers in American newspapers, described war from the viewpoint of the foot soldier. He came out of the Okinawa invasion unscathed, only to be shot down a few weeks later by a Japanese machine gunner in a minor skirmish on the small island of Iwo Jima, April 18, 1945. The GIs buried him in their own official field cemetery.

On July 28, 1945, an Army B-25 bomber with three men aboard crashed into the Empire State Building, killing 14 people and injuring 26. The twin-engine bomber was flying low in poor visibility weather en route to Newark airport when it plunged through the building on the 34th Street side on two levels - the 78th and 79th floors. Because the accident occurred on a Saturday, a minimum number of people were doing business in the building. An anti-collision system of radio signals has since been installed.

On July 16, 1945, scientists in Alamagordo, New Mexico successfully tested the top-secret new weapon that would finally end World War II: the atomic bomb. Two weeks later, after the Japanese had received and rejected an allied ultimatum demanding unconditional surrender, President Harry S. Truman designated Hiroshima, Japan as the first target. On August 6 the American bomber Enola Gay dropped a single atom bomb on Hiroshima. The blast levelled three-quarters of the cityÆs 6 square miles and killed over 80,000 inhabitants.

At 7:00 p.m. on August 14, 1945, President Harry Truman announced that Japan had surrendered and that the hostilities of World War II had come to an end. Two days of joyous, sometimes delirious celebrations followed, with most factories and offices closed on August 15 and 16. On September 2, formal surrender documents were signed aboard the U.S.S. Missouri in Tokyo Bay. President Truman declared that September 2, 1945 was officially V-J Day. three-quarters of the cityÆs 6 square miles and killed over 80,000 inhabitants.

Five days of waiting and public rumors in America followed the first indications of Japanese surrender. When the wait came to an end with President Harry TrumanÆs declaration on August 14, 1945, New York City exploded with an unparalleled demonstration of joy. Police estimated that by 10 oÆclock that night, two million people were in Times Square, while more still poured in by subway, bus, and taxi from all over the city.

On Sunday, September 2, 1945, exactly 3 years, 8 months, and 25 days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the formal ceremony of the surrender of the Japanese took place aboard the U.S. battleship Missouri, anchored in Tokyo Bay. Nine members of the Japanese delegation, their faces taut, were piped aboard and met by General Douglas MacArthur, American Admiral Chester Nimitz, and other allied leaders. Every available inch of deck space was jammed with Allied troops. At a simple table placed on deck, all parties signed two copies of the official surrender documents.

On August 28, 1945, American airborne units landed in Japan. Shortly thereafter the first of 8,000 American prisoners in that area were evacuated. Most of them had been isolated for more than three years. They had not heard of Harry Truman, or Dwight Eisenhower and D-Day, and knew nothing of Allied victories. The terrible conditions and atrocities reported by the prisoners added to the war crimes attributed to the Japanese.

The so-called Berlin Conference was held in Potsdam, Germany from July 17 to August 2, 1945. Leaders from the United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union met to discuss the future and to activate the agreement made at Yalta in February 1945. A 6,000-word communique was issued, setting down the terms for conquered Germany.

As industrial plants were converted to supply the Allies with war materials in the early 1940Æs, production of luxury items nearly ceased. Even the giant Ford Motor Company stopped producing civilian passenger cars in February 1942. In July 1945, after the European phase of World War II ended, conversion back to the manufacture of peacetime luxury items began. Henry FordÆs company resumed production of civilian cars on July 3, 1945, announcing that the new models would be more stylish and less expensive than ever.

As spring neared in 1945, the Allies were closing in on Germany from two fronts, and the end of the war in Europe was in sight. The ôBig Threeö - American President Franklin Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet Premier Josef Stalin - together with their top diplomats and military advisors, met on February 4-12, 1945, at Yalta in the Black Sea province of Crimea.

AmericaÆs victory in World War II was symbolized on September 10, 1945, in the person of General Jonathan M. Wainwright. For three years following his surrender to General Yamashita at Corregidor on May 6, 1942, the commander of American forces in the Philippines saw nothing but Japanese prison camps. He lived in a world of torture, slow starvation, and death far from home. His valiant service at Corregidor earned him the Congressional Medal of Honor.

On March 25, 1945, the United States, on behalf of the three other sponsoring governments (Republic of China, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom), issued invitations to 47 other signatories of the Declaration of the United Nations, in accordance with the Yalta agreement.

New York City went on a starvation diet for news when a strike by deliverymen stopped distribution of major New York newspapers beginning June 30, 1945. Stands closed and newspaper offices were swamped by angry, news-hungry readers. Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia read the comic strips over the air for the children who were deprived of their ôfunniesö by the strike.

On April 11, 1951, President Truman relieved General of the Army Douglas MacArthur of his command in Korea. MacArthur and Truman had long been at odds; the general had even gone so far as to ignore some of TrumanÆs directives. But on his return MacArthur received the greatest ovations ever given an American. In Tokyo, 230,000 wildly cheering Japanese bade him farewell. In Honolulu, another 180,000 worshipers cheered him. In San Francisco, thousands of fans roared as he stepped from his plane, and a half-million San Franciscans attended a parade.

On Thursday, July 25, 1946, the first atomic bomb to be detonated under water was lowered into the Pacific three miles from the island of Bikini. The 30-square-mile target area for the bomb held 75 aging warships and 12 smaller vessels anchored as a guinea-pig fleet to determine the force of the atomic blast. Detonated by remote control, the bomb sank ten of the ships almost immediately; those that witnessed the event dubbed it ôthe most destructive force in history.ö stepped from his plane, and a half-million San Franciscans attended a parade.

Eva Braun was introduced to Adolf Hitler by the owner of the Munich photography shop where she worked. When she became HitlerÆs mistress, she lived at his Berchtesgaden retreat. She passed her time reading novels, swimming, skiing, dancing, and watching films. When the end of the Third Reich was near, Eva Braun joined Hitler in Berlin. On April 29, Hitler and Braun were married by a municipal councilor called into perform the ceremony.

Always a bridesmaid but seldom a bride: the story of the Chicago Cubs. In the 1945 Series, the Cubs made their 10th World Series appearance and lost for the seventh time in a row. The TigersÆ only previous series triumph was against the Cubs in 1935. Claude Passeau of the Cubs pitched a masterpiece in the third game, as he held the Tigers to no runs and only one hit, a single by Rudy York in the second inning.

Among the wonders of the war years were two men who overcame serious physical handicaps to play professional baseball. Pete Gray had only one arm but, incredibly, managed to hit .218 in 77 games for the 1945 St. Louis Browns. Gray also served as a solid outfielder.

With a 14-point burst in the opening period, Tulsa upset Georgia Tech in MiamiÆs Orange Bowl by a score of 26-12. Thirty thousand sun-drenched fans were treated to a 90-yard kickoff return by Tulsa fullback Camp Wilson in the third period.

An amazing total of 32,178 fans turned out for this game in Cleveland, Ohio, on December 16, 1945, a day so cold that the musical instruments of the famous Redskin band froze. Cleveland, led by coach Adam Walsh, had defeated both the Bears and the powerhouse Packers twice during the regular season, and the Cleveland fans were anxious for a win over the many-times champion Redskins.

An international tribunal to try 28 Japanese war leaders was established on January 19, 1946, by General Douglas MacArthur. After almost three years of listening to evidence, the Tokyo Tribunal for trials of major Japanese war criminals announced their convictions on November 12, 1948. Two of the defendants had died in the course of the trial, one was dismissed for mental illness, but 25 were sentenced.

Shortly after 5:00 p.m. on January 30, 1948, on his way through the Birla House garden to deliver his daily public prayer, Mohandas Gandhi was shot three times in the stomach and chest by a Hindu Nationalist. Already weak from fasting for communal peace, the Mahatma (ÆGreat SoulÆ)died half an hour later. GandhiÆs death made news around the world.

At the opening of the Republican convention in Philadelphia on June 21, 1948, delegates fell into two distinct groups. One, committed to a frontal attack against the New Deal, was led by Ohio Senator Robert A. Taft. More moderate forces were represented by Harold Stassen and Senator Vandenburg, both of whom emphasized world problems rather than domestic issues, and by New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey.

Harry Truman returned to his feisty, populist roots in the 1948 campaign, determined to win the presidency on his own. His opponent, Republican Thomas E. Dewey, was young, dynamic, and considered invincible. But Truman countered by covering 21,928 miles in the eight weeks prior to election day, much of it in a ôwhistle-stopö railroad tour of small towns across the country. Although many praised Truman for his efforts, most politicians still believed he would lose.

The 30th National Convention of the Democratic Party convened on July 12, 1948, in Philadelphia. For the first time in 16 years, the personal magic of Franklin Roosevelt was unavailable. The incumbent, Harry Truman, was the only man who seemed to want to run against the office-hungry Republicans. The leaders, the bosses, and the delegates all got on the Truman Bandwagon because it was the only ride in town. With 618 votes needed to nail the nomination, Truman was named on the first ballot.

DeweyÆs second time out, but the picture looked much brighter this time. The formidable F.D.R. was no longer his opponent; Harry Truman was in the White House by default, quarreling with Congress and making enemies. Most political experts had tabbed Truman as a pushover. As a result, Dewey ran a safe and low-key campaign, supporting a moderate Republican platform which echoed popular Democratic positions on housing, inflation, wages, taxation, civil rights, and the United Nations.cially declared Truman and running mate Alben Barkley as the 1948 Democratic nominees.preaching hatred of blacks, Jews, and Catholics.ew nation within a few hours. submachine gun.

On July 17, 1948, the National States Rights Party, otherwise known as the ôDixiecrats,ö convened in Birmingham, Alabama. The party was a Democratic splinter group opposed to federal civil rights legislation. South Carolina Governor J.

Wallace announced his candidacy for the presidency on a third-party platform. Wallace, who had once been vice-president under Franklin D. Roosevelt, believed in a peaceful approach to the Soviet Union; he called the Democrats ôthe war partyö and said that Harry TrumanÆs anti-Soviet policies would lead to World War III. On July 22, 1948, the Independent Progressive Party nominated Wallace for president and Glen Taylor as vice-president.

In 1951, the world was shocked to learn of mass atrocities committed by the Communists in Korea. Thousands of GIs and nearly a quarter of a million South Korean civilians were murdered, often with their hands bound and bullets shot in their heads. Films of the atrocities created an outcry in the United States. In response, General Douglas MacArthur promised that his Communist prisoners would be treated humanely, and asked that South Korean and American captives to be treated similarly.

On November 10, 1952, the so-called Big Four foreign ministers met together for the first time at the new General Assembly session. The Soviet Union reaffirmed its support of North Korea, putting it at odds with the Western nations. The dispute led Secretary General Trygvie Lie of Norway to announce his resignation, in hope that it ômay help the U.N. to save the peace.ö Though the Soviets had themselves nominated Trygvie Lie for General Assembly President in 1946, they grew angry with his support for U.N. intervention in Korea, eventually calling him ôa coward, a right-wing socialist, a stooge of Wall Street and an arbiter of American aggression.ö 1/2 million; North Korea Civilians - about 1 million.submachine gun.

On September 29, 1952, John CobbÆs jet-powered boat Crusader was clocked at 206.89 m.p.h. on Loch Ness, Scotland. As Cobb began a second run, however, the boat disintegrated in a spectacular crash and Cobb was killed. Investigators later determined that the battering of waves at high speeds had probably collapsed CrusaderÆs hull. Even though Cobb was unable to complete the second run which was officially necessary to quality for the record, the Marine Motoring Association recognized his performance as ôthe fastest speed ever obtained on water.öhim ôa coward, a right-wing socialist, a stooge of Wall Street and an arbiter of American aggression.ö 1/2 million; North Korea Civilians - about 1 million.submachine gun.

On July 26, 1952, King Farouk, the 32-year-old playboy ruler was forced to abdicate the Egyptian throne in favor of his infant son, Ahmed Fuad II, after Major General Mohammed Naguib seized power in a bloodless coup three days earlier. On April 18, 1954, Naguib was succeeded by Col. Gamal Abdel Nasser, former Deputy Premier and leader of the military junta.

Hurricane winds and 60-foot waves in the Atlantic Ocean cracked the 6,711-ton freighter Flying Enterprise, on December 29, 1951. Captain Kurt Carlsen ordered his 50 passengers and crewmen to abandon ship, but stayed on himself to try to save the vessel. For 14 days, Carlsen refused to leave the $2 million ship while 400 reporters, photographers, newsreel cameramen television crews from 12 countries covered his ordeal.

Support for the two leading presidential contenders - former General Dwight Eisenhower and Ohio Senator Robert Taft - had been building up many months before Republicans met in Chicago in 1952. Taft arrived at the convention with a lead in pledged delegates, whose opposition to liberal Republicans was based on the three successive defeats suffered by the Party when led by Dewey and Willkie.

The Democrats opened their convention in Chicago on July 21, 1952 minus a captain and looking down the barrel of some very big Republican guns. Harry Truman, the miracle worker of 1948, had ôincluded himself outö of the race, the Northern Liberals were ganging up on Southern delegates, and worst of all, the Republicans had nominated the most widely liked man in the country: - General Dwight D.

Eisenhower as an opponent, Adlai Stevenson had an uphill battle to gain the support of the voters. He had to introduce himself to an American public which knew little about him. Stevenson attracted intellectuals and liberal independents. Despite the support of President Harry Truman, Stevenson failed in his effort to win uncommitted voters, who swung to the solid ôfather figureö of Eisenhower. The candidates drew an enormous number of voters to the polls; StevensonÆs 27,314,987 votes would have given him an easy victory in most years.

The 1952 election presented a strange pair of candidates to the electorate. Adlai Stevenson, the Democratic candidate, was a non-politician in the most complete sense; yet, his Republican opponent, Dwight Eisenhower, managed to outdo him in political unworldliness. But whatever Eisenhower lacked in political know-how, he doubled in charisma. His campaign - with the slogan ôI Like Ikeö - was more like a triumphal tour of a returning war hero than the stumping of an electioneering candidate.

There was no doubt on November 4, 1952, that Americans liked Ike. General Dwight D. EisenhowerÆs election to the presidency was a personal triumph. EisenhowerÆs overwhelming popular vote of 55% still fell below Franklin RooseveltÆs 59% in 1932 and 62% in 1936, and his electoral vote of 442 did not match the Roosevelt totals in his first three elections. Nonetheless, in defeating Democrat Adlai Stevenson, Mr. Eisenhower carried three Democratic strongholds - Texas, Florida, Virginia - and swept in 20 Republican governors on his coattails, for a new total of 30 in the 48 states. 824,351 Americans liked Ike.d an arbiter of American aggression.ö 1/2 million; North Korea Civilians - about 1 million.submachine gun.

He was a war hero, probably the most popular military figure since Ulysses S. Grant, and untainted by partisan politics and removed from such explosive questions as civil rights and labor. His unmatched personal popularity promised to win over independent and uncommitted voters. ôIkeö came to the convention having won the New Hampshire primary outright, and with an unprecedented write-in vote of 100,000 in Minnesota.

Casey Stengel tied the World Series record of four straight managerial titles when he skippered the New York Yankees to victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers on October 7, 1952. This managerial feat equaled the mark set by another Yankee skipper, Joe McCarthy, in 1936, 1937, 1938, and 1939. The Yankees won the 1952 ôsubway seriesö by taking the last two games at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn.

One of the chief obstacles to the end of the Korean War was reaching an agreement on the exchange of prisoners of war. China and North Korea insisted that all prisoners be repatriated, but many North Koreans refused to go home and the U.N. was unwilling to force them to do so. In the end, in Operation ôBig Switch,ö 70,159 North Koreans and 5,640 Chinese were exchanged for 12,757 South Korean, Americans, Britons, and Turks. 23 Americans, 1 Briton, and about 350 South Koreans refused repatriation, while 22,000 North Koreans and Chinese chose not to return to their homelands.

Roger Gilbert Bannister, 25 years old, had always believed that a mile in less than four minutes was possible. With that in mind, he carefully studied the mechanics of running and trained intensively. His work paid off on May 6, 1954, at a track meet in Oxford, England. With the help of teammates who set a fast pace, Bannister swept through the first quarter in :57.5 seconds, and the middle quarters in :60.7 and :62.3 seconds.

In modern Olympic history, it has become customary for a series of runners to carry a torch from Mount Olympus in Greece to wherever in the world the Olympic Games are held. In 1956, the games would be in Melbourne, Australia; unfortunately, no available athlete was capable of running across the Indian Ocean. So the torch bearers ran from Olympus to Athens airport.

In 1956, Pope Pius XII joined the worldwide support of Hungarian refugees when he blessed a mobile chapel that would tour the Hungarian border giving spiritual and medical aid. A strong anti-Communist, Pope Pius XII excommunicated all Roman Catholics who joined the Communist Party and supported the Hungarians when they rose up against the Communists in 1956. The revolt began on October 23rd when about 100,000 people gathered in downtown Budapest and successfully demanded the replacement of Communist leader Erno Gero with Exûpremier Imre Nagy.

Dwight Eisenhower had suffered a heart attack in 1955 and had required an ileitis operation in June of 1956. Although his doctors had given the incumbent president the go-ahead to run again, his illnesses had raised concerns about his vice president, Richard Nixon. Some Republicans were concerned that Nixon would scare off Democratic crossovers and independents and lose the election for the party. But Eisenhower backed Nixon, and the ôDump Nixonö movement led by Harold Stassen quietly folded its tents.

Despite the opposition of Harry Truman, who felt Adlai Stevenson would lose to incumbent President Dwight Eisenhower as he had in 1952, Stevenson carried the nomination on the first ballot at the 1956 Democratic convention in Chicago. Stevenson beat out Averell Harriman and Texas Senator Lyndon Johnson for the nomination, then waived his traditional right to name his vice presidential running-mate and asked the delegates to make the choice.

Stevenson strained to shed his ôegg-headö image. He trimmed his polysyllabic vocabulary down to simpler words, and tailored his cosmopolitan wit to a folksier style. The Stevenson shoe, with a hole in the sole, was touted as a symbol of his oneness with the common man. But Democrats were reluctant to personally criticize the Republican candidate, the popular Dwight Eisenhower. Instead, they tried to frame him as a unknowing front for opportunistic Republicans - a tactic that failed with voters as Eisenhower beat Stevenson a second straight time.sachusetts senator, John F.

President EisenhowerÆs 1955 heart attack was a prime topic of discussion with voters in 1956. Was ôIkeö fit enough to continue as president? The Republican campaign sought to demonstrate EisenhowerÆs vitality and health. Although he limited his campaign speeches to big rallies and television appearances, Eisenhower was the essence of charm, humility, power, wisdom, and experience.

The magnitude of the Dwight EisenhowerÆs 1956 presidential victory was startling. He carried 41 states and 457 electoral votes, while Democrat Adlai Stevenson won in only seven states with 73 electoral votes. But voters also showed great ability to split their ballots; 4 out of 10 who voted for Eisenhower did not vote the straight Republican ticket.

Four World Series records were set in 1956, as the New York Yankees beat the Brooklyn Dodgers, four games to three. Yankee Don Larsen became famous by pitching the first perfect game in World Series history. The Yankees set a record by using seven pitchers in the second game, which was also the longest nine-inning game played in Series history.

The English discovered centuries ago that the fox makes a wily quarry for a hunt. With hounds on their trail, foxes lope along skillfully backtracking, changing directions, and using fences, stone walls and water to throw their pursuers off the scent. But if the dogs draw near, a fox can sprint up to 45 miles per hour. Rabbits take a different approach.

Marriages may be made in heaven, but weddings have taken place in airplanes, on flagpoles in balloons, in parachutes -- and at least once, underwater. From the earliest times, marriage has been an important part of our religious and legal systems. Traditional weddings cling to age-old customs. The ceremony includes a ring - or two - the roundness representing eternity. The wedding veil derives from the Roman custom of wearing something that could later be used as a burial shroud.

The intelligence of chimpanzees made them popular items with circuses and entertainers of all kinds throughout the 20th century. The chimp, whose brain is about a third the size of a manÆs, is the smartest nonûhuman animal. They have excellent visual memory and impressive mechanical skills.

Haircuts came before the first day of school or before graduation, before job interviews, dates, weddings, vacations, and family photographs.

The male duck is called a drake, the female simply a duck, and their offspring, ducklings. The female lays six to 16 eggs in a warm, dry nest on the ground near water or back in the brush. The ducklings hatch three or four weeks later. Ducklings stay with the mother for about six weeks before they go off on their own. Ducks have a coat of feathers which is underlaid with down.

Milk products stayed much the same throughout the century - butter, cheese, whipped cream, and the like - but the way farmers got the milk changed radically.

Today, with the exception of zoos, they can now be found only in Africa and Asia. A dromedary camel has one hump and a bactrian has two. The humps serve as a water reservoir, which is why camels can travel so far in hot, dry climates. The camel also has a 3ûpart stomach which alone can hold a gallon of water, enough to last a camel for about 72 hours. Camels were domesticated 5,000 years ago.

The tallest tree in the world is a 368-foot tall redwood located in northern California. Most redwoods grow about 200-275 feet high, and have trunks 8-12 feet in diameter. Redwoods are very durable and are good for lumber. Sequoias, on the other hand, have brittle wood and make poor lumber. Most sequoias are not as tall as redwoods, but can be bigger round, measuring about 100 feet in circumference.

The first ôautomobileö was really a steamûdriven tractor created in 1769 to haul cannons. But steam cars proved difficult to operate, with many breakdowns and limited range. Electric cars became popular in America after William Morrison built the first one in 1890. While slow, electric cars were easy to operate, ran quietly, and did not give off bad odors. Earlier, Frenchman Jean Joseph Etienne Lenois produced a rather slow internal-combustion engine in 1860 which ran on lamp oil. Then, in 1885, Germans Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz, working separately, invented their revolutionary gasoline engines.

Frenchmen Jacques Etienne and Joseph Montgolfier built the first balloon to carry man in 1783. Jean Francois Piatre de Rozier became the first man to fly when he went up in the Montgolfier balloon on October, 1783. That same year, Frenchman J.A.C. Charles built the first hydrogen balloon and successfully flew 25 miles in less than two hours. Two years later, American John Jefferies and Frenchman Jean-Pierre Blanchard flew a hydrogen balloon across the English Channel.

In 1888, Eastman revolutionized photography by introducing the Kodak camera. This camera used roll film, which had a paper base instead of glass. In 1899, Eastman invented the first flexible, transparent roll film which could be commercially produced. This development enabled Thomas Edison to perfect his motion picture equipment by making films in the 35 mm size that is still used today.

Young Orville and Wilbur Wright were skilled machinists and inventors. In 1895, they opened a bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio, but soon after became obsessed with aviation, eventually building a wind tunnel in their bicycle shop to test glider models. In 1903, after years of experimentation with gliders, the Wright brothers went to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina with a machine that had twin wings 40 feet in length. On December 17th, Orville Wright successfully piloted the plane in a 12-second, 120-foot flight. It was the first flight of a manned, heavier-than-air, power-driven aircraft.

In the years following, he toured widely and pioneered routes to South America and across the Pacific. Lindbergh married Anne Morrow Spencer in 1929. In 1932, the LindberghÆsÆ first child was kidnapped and murdered, a crime that shocked the nation. Lindbergh was a vocal opponent of U.S. involvement in World War II, a position which tarnished his image with some.

While playing baseball, he was converted to Christianity at a Salvation Army meeting. Sunday began preaching in 1896. During his revivals he denounced science and promoted conservative politics and Prohibition, speaking often on the evils of drink. SundayÆs career peaked in 1917 at revival in New York City. Sunday claimed that 68,000 people were converted that day.

Marian Anderson (1902û1993) was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and began singing in a church choir. In 1925 she sang with the New York Philharmonic, but many other groups rejected her because her skin was black. She began touring black Southern colleges, and, in 1933, began a very successful European tour. In 1939, Anderson was not allowed to perform at WashingtonÆs Constitution Hall, owned by the Daughters of the American Revolution, because of her race. Eleanor Roosevelt then resigned from the DAR and helped to organize AndersonÆs concert at the Lincoln Memorial. 75,000 people attended the stirring concert, perhaps AndersonÆs most famous.ng communists, and, in 1954, the Senate condemned McCarthy for his conduct.

George Washington Carver (1864û1943) was born near Diamond Grove, Mississippi about 1864; records are unclear because Carver was born a slave. Despite this rough beginning, Carver worked his way through high school and college and in 1896, he became an agricultural researcher at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. He began studying crop rotation and soil management and convinced Alabama farmers to plant peanuts and sweet potatoes, which replenished their soil. Carver also developed new uses for crops. For the peanut alone, he found more than 300 new products, including peanutûderived ink, dyes, soap, and milk and coffee substitutes. During his lifetime, Carver gave advice to companies and governments around the world, but rarely accepted money for his work.

A hero in the Boer Wars, Churchill later foresaw the outbreak of World War I and as first lord of the admiralty devoted himself to modernizing BritainÆs Navy. Churchill was demoted during the war after he supported a disastrous attack on the Dardanelles. In the 1930s, Churchill struggled to warn Britain of the danger of the Nazis, but was labeled a warmonger. When Germany finally attacked France, Neville Chamberlain, who had favored a policy of appeasement, stepped down. Churchill replaced him as prime minister and led Britain to eventual victory.

Hoover gained national recognition for his work in the Harding and Coolidge administrations; his reputation for hard work, excellent administrative record and proven integrity made him the obvious choice for Republican presidential candidate in 1928, and he was subsequently elected. But the next year the stock market crashed, and the president took the blame for the ôHoover Depression.ö Because he believed that business should operate free of government intervention, Hoover decided against federal measures to end the depression and chose to wait for the economy to rebound on its own.

Rogers had the gift of poking fun at people without making them mad; perhaps it was because he was so often close to the truth. He kidded all the prominent people of his day, and the prominent institutions, too.

OnassisÆ wedding gift to his new wife: an estimated $1.2 million worth of jewelry. Although two Kennedy sisters, Mrs. Pat Lawford and Mrs. Jean Smith, were guests at the wedding, the Kennedy clan was reported to be less than enthusiastic about the marriage. The Roman Catholic Church also disapproved, since Onassis was divorced. But Richard Cardinal Cushing, Archbishop of Boston, ridiculed the idea that she would be excommunicated and declared a ôpublic sinnerö by the Church.

In 1963, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton found each other. The public quickly discovered this new glamorous pair and, amazingly, interest increased with each passing year. The highly-publicized couple became the highest-paid acting duo in the history of show business. They demanded and received upwards of a million dollars a picture, and couldnÆt keep up with the demand for their services. Crowds seemed to gather at even a whisper of their possible appearance; every facet of their joint existence was worked over to feed the publicity mills.

Richard Jenkins, born in 1925, won the annual Welsh Eisteddfod (singing festival) award as a boy soprano. As an adult, he took the name of Burton as a compliment to his high school acting mentor, Philip Burton. In 1950, Burton appeared on Broadway, and established himself as an excellent classical actor. But he truly entered the world spotlight when he was cast to play opposite Elizabeth Taylor in the movie Cleopatra. The newspapers of the world had a field day with the blazing love affair between the ebullient Welshman and the worldÆs most beautiful woman, who at the time was Mrs. Eddie Fisher.

In 1955, Abernathy proposed the citywide boycott of Montgomery buses to oppose the cityÆs Jim Crow ordinance. With Martin Luther King, he organized the Montgomery Improvement Association to supervise the boycott. The Montgomery buses were desegregated in 1956, and in 1957 King and Abernathy organized the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). King was elected president and Abernathy secretary-treasurer. When King was assassinated, the SCLC chose Abernathy as KingÆs unquestioned successor.

Agnew was once described as the epitome of the middle class, middle-brow suburbanite. Agnew entered politics as a Democrat, but a law associate persuaded him to become a Republican.

On June 13, 1968, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren announced his resignation. Republicans, sensing victory in the 1968 presidential election, were outraged that the outgoing president, Lyndon Johnson, would have the chance to pick a successor who might carry on WarrenÆs activist tradition. Their worst fears were realized on June 27 when President Johnson announced that he was nominating Abe Fortas, a liberal. However, the Republicans successfully filibustered the Fortas nomination vote and in October, Johnson withdrew FortasÆs name. The SenateÆs refusal to consider the nomination was without precedent.

Buckley inherited a fortune from his father, as well as a hatred for government interference in private enterprise; this may have been related to the Mexican governmentÆs expropriation of his fatherÆs oil wells. In 1951, Buckley published Man and God at Yale, a book attacking the liberal education establishment. Buckley later founded and subsidized the conservative magazine, the National Review, which created a broad platform for conservative opinions.

At the 1967 GovernorsÆ Conference, attention focused on the so-called ôthree-Rs:ö Romney, Rockefeller, and Reagan. All three politicians were potential Republican presidential nominees. MichiganÆs George Romney, however, put on a poor show - his press conferences were dull and he misstated facts. Nelson Rockefeller declared again and again, to the dismay of his supporters, that he would not be a candidate.

Many Democrats wanted to shift their 1968 convention to Miami. Chicago was on the edge of chaos. Striking cab drivers and transit workers had left the city almost without public transportation. A strike of telephone engineers had caused a virtual communications blackout. A fire had destroyed McCormick Place, the giant lakefront convention hall, and the substitute was the Chicago Amphitheater five miles from the Loop hotels and near the riotûtorn ghettos.

Emotions were running high in Chicago when the Democrats convened their National Convention there in August 1968. Several thousand demonstrators had come to rally against the increasingly unpopular Vietnam War. Earlier that year, civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. had been assassinated, and black areas of the city were also tense. Determined to demonstrate his control over the city, Chicago boss Mayor Richard Daley ordered the police and National Guardsmen to crack down on the demonstrators.

The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was not the first blank check Congress gave to a President for committing American forces and arms. On March 9, 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a Congressional joint resolution which might well have been called the Middle EastÆs Gulf of Tonkin resolution.

In all probability, Briscoe was responsible for historyÆs first sit-in when he and a group of others took over the Irish Free State consulate in New York in 1923, holding the offices until the police forced them out.

A little more than a month after the Soviet Union had launched the first man into space, and before any American astronaut had even reached space, President John F. Kennedy called for the U.S. to achieve the goal, ôbefore this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon, and returning him safely to earth.

The circumstance was the marriage of Princess Margaret Rose of Windsor, 29, to 30-year-old Antony Charles Robert Armstrong-Jones, a commoner. The pomp was a wedding route lined with $8,500 worth of spring flowers; a 60-foot arch of roses bearing the initials ôM-Aö for Margaret-Antony; services based on the 1662 prayer book; new mobile restrooms for the public; a Westminster Abbey ceremony at which 2,068 relatives and guests were present, a wedding breakfast at Buckingham Palace; and a $112,000 five-week Caribbean cruise on the royal yacht Brittania, manned by 20 officers and 237 men. Critics pointed out that more money was spent on the PrincessÆ wedding than on the marriage of her sister, Queen Elizabeth, to Prince Philip in the austere year of 1947.

On August 23, 1958, Communist China began a daily bombardment of the islands of Quemoy and Matsu, off the Chinese mainland. Red Chinese officials began the bombardment claiming the islands were staging areas for Nationalist leader Chiang KaiûshekÆs planned invasion of the mainland. U.S. Navy vessels began to escort convoys supplying the blockaded islands. In response, Moscow warned the U.S. that an attack on China would be considered an attack on the Soviet Union. Tensions decreased after Chiang Kaiûshek promised that he would not use force to return to the mainland.

Khrushchev had tentatively agreed with the United States on a United Nations Security Council summit conference to discuss the mideast crisis. But the meeting with Mao brought an abrupt about-face. The Chinese regarded negotiating with council members Nationalist China and India, both arch-rivals, as unacceptable. Therefore, they urged a conference outside the United Nations.

Tim Tam and jockey John Adams beat Lincoln Road, second in the Derby, by a length and a half, in 1:57.2.

Jimmy Bryan, driving a Belond Special at an average speed of 133.791 m.p.h., won the annual Indianapolis 500 auto race on May 30, 1958. But his victory was marred by an earlier 15-car pileup that killed one driver and left others injured. The pileup started when Ed Elisian, driving a Zink Special at 170 m.p.h., tried to pass Dick RathmannÆs McNamara Special on the inside. He didnÆt find enough room, spun, and hit Rathmann.

Tommy Bolt won the 1958 National Open Golf championship in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with a total score of 283. A former construction worker, Tommy Bolt had bought his first set of clubs with tips made as a caddy. A great shotmaker and colorful competitor, he was the talk of the golf world for the depth and violence of his rages. He broke clubs, threw clubs, tossed shoes, walked out of tournaments and used language that might have sent Marine sergeants into shock. He promised to reform more times than the PGA cared to remember. They fined him, rebuked him, suspended him - but nothing helped.ames.

Jackie Westrope was killed on June 19, 1958, during the Hollywood Oaks horse race at Inglewood, California. The 40-year-old jockey was aboard highly-regarded horse Well Away, who had taken the lead coming into the stretch. But the horse was tiring fast. Westrope, whipping furiously to maintain the pace, lost control. The filly bolted into the rail. Westrope was thrown high over the outer guard rail and landed on his back on the inner guard rail.

The crowd was behind home-country favorite Angela Mortimer and she started well, establishing a 2-0 lead in the first set.

On November 25, 1958 the American Memorial Chapel was dedicated in LondonÆs St. PaulÆs Cathedral. The Memorial, built with contributions from British citizens, honored U.S. soldiers who fought and died in World War II. The American delegation to the dedication was led by war veteran and Vice President Richard Nixon. The memorialÆs inscription read: ôThis chapel commemorates the common sacrifice of the British and American peoples during the Second World War, and especially those American servicemen whose names are recorded in its roll of honor.

In 1958, Japan was treated to a storybook romance when 24-year-old Crown Prince Akihito announced his engagement to a commoner, Michiko Shoda, also 24. Miss Shoda would become the first empress in the history of Japan not chosen from the nobility - although her family was a member of the samurai, or warrior class. The Crown Prince was to be the 125th emperor in a line which, legend held, could be traced to the founding of the Empire by a descendant of the Sun Goddess in 660 B.C.

Army beat Navy in their 1958 football contest at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on November 29. Underdog Navy threatened the heavily favored Cadets, moving to an early 6-0 lead. Then, Army quarterback Joe Caldwell began to connect with Don Usry, and Bob Anderson soon carried the ball across for the first Army score. Still, at the half, Army only led 7û6. In the second half, however, the continued brilliance of Caldwell and Usry, plus the fine running of halfbacks Pete Dawkins and Anderson, carried Army to victory.

Our Lady of Angels parochial school in Chicago, Illinois was just about to let out on December 1, 1958, when the janitor noticed smoke flowing from a second-floor window. Within minutes, the 50ùyearûold red brick building was in flames. 89 children and three teaching nuns died as a result of the blaze. To escape, many children jumped from second floor windows. There were many heroic rescues, as well as tragic failures.

In 1969, there was growing concern in the United States over nationÆs growing stockpile of chemical and biological weapons. Newspapers revealed that shipments of poison gas had been carried through cities, raising fears of an accidental release of the gas in heavily populated areas. Critics also argued that such gas weapons often proved to be ineffective in battle, and created more risk than they were worth. In response to the criticism, the U.S. renounced use of biological weapons on November 25, 1969, and U.S. germ warfare stocks were ordered destroyed.eir desks, suffocated.

U.S. Presidentûelect John Fitzgerald Kennedy made the gracious and unusual gesture of visiting his defeated opponent, Richard Milhous Nixon, on November 14, 1960. Kennedy flew in his private plane, a Convair named for his daughter, Caroline, from the Kennedy home in Palm Beach to Mr. NixonÆs vacation retreat at Key Biscayne. The two men, smiling and cordial, conferred privately for a little more than an hour and then, in separate press conferences, stressed the fact that the closeness of the 1960 Presidential election did not indicate future disunity in the United States.cated.

But two years later, the often-sick and always-temperamental movie star, who had been in and out of clinics for a variety of problems, had cost insurer Lloyds of London $2.1 million for filming delays, and had nearly toppled the studio that was banking its reputation on the picture. Even so, the real loser turned out to be TaylorÆs husband, Eddie Fisher, whom Taylor dumped in favor of co-star Richard Burton.

The 1960 Army-Navy match was, in reality, two separate games. The first half saw Navy halfback Joe Bellino lead a romp for the Middies. At halftime, Army trailed 17-0. ArmyÆs coach blamed the CadetsÆ missed tackles and costly fumbles on overeagerness. The second half was a different story. Before it was over, Army had outgained the Middies 200 yards to 2. Trailing by just 5 points with 15 seconds to play, ArmyÆs Frank Blanda threw a long pass to the Navy goal line, but Navy hero Joe Bellino plucked it out of the air for a game-saving interception to preserve the 17-12 victory.yed Marc Antony - attracted far more attention than the finished film, which lost millions of dollars for Fox.litically and economically.öon and Great Britain as nations who had built atomic bombs.t of U.S. citizens to travel.öut most people seemed to enjoy the show.He was fined $10,000 and put on probation for the tax evasion charge.ing said, ôNo one looking at the demands can ignore the truth in them.öhis toe: ôIÆm too old to cry and it hurts too much to laugh.ö He lost again to Ike in 1956, but became American ambassador to the U.N. in 1961.

On December 6, 1960, Jacqueline Kennedy had just returned home following the Cesarean birth of her son, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Jr., when she gave reporters the slip. The journalists who had followed Mrs. Kennedy home from University Hospital had staked out the KennedyÆs Georgetown residence. They thought she was resting, then they discovered she had slipped out the back and seemingly had vanished.

The cause of the violence was the upcoming referendum on Algerian selfûdetermination. French rightists were determined to ôkeep Algeria French,ö while the Moslem Algerians wanted independence. Before the rioting ended, an estimated 118 Moslems and eight Europeans had been killed. On several occasions, French troops fired on the crowds.

The 1958 fair theme was ôpeace,ö but that didnÆt prevent a ôfair warö from brewing between rivals United States and Russia. The two countriesÆ pavilions were side-by-side, and each tried to put its best foot forward. The Soviet exhibit featured models of the Russian space satellites, a woman who trained dogs for space travel, and Russian automobiles.

In 1960, Palmer won the Masters Tournament at Augusta, Georgia with a 282 total. 1960 was a big year for Palmer: besides the Masters, he won the USGA Open, six other tournaments, and the World Cup. PalmerÆs father, a greenskeeper and teaching pro, put a club in his sonÆs hands when the boy was three. Arnie never stopped swinging. Palmer turned professional in 1954. By 1960 he was golfÆs biggest money winner and was elected Professional Golfer of the Year in the PGA poll. Palmer captured the hearts of fans.

The Boston Celtics left their rabid admirers in the Boston Garden breathless with delight as they romped to a 122-103 victory over the St. Louis Hawks in the seventh and deciding game of the 1960 NBA championship. BostonÆs Bill Russell dominated the action as he took down an amazing 35 rebounds and scored 22 points. Flashy playmaker, Bob Cousy, had 19 points and 14 assists while Tom Heinsohn added 22 points. For the outclassed Hawks, Frank Ramsay and Bob Pettit were the leading scorers with 24 and 22 points respectively.many people trailed Palmer around, that the press dubbed his fans ôArnieÆs Army.ö PalmerÆs appeal stemmed from his ability to come from behind and fight his way out of trouble with miraculous recoveries.d Great Britain as nations who had built atomic bombs.t of U.S. citizens to travel.öut most people seemed to enjoy the show.He was fined $10,000 and put on probation for the tax evasion charge.ing said, ôNo one looking at the demands can ignore the truth in them.öhis toe: ôIÆm too old to cry and it hurts too much to laugh.ö He lost again to Ike in 1956, but became American ambassador to the U.N. in 1961.

There was more hard luck for Willie Shoemaker at the 1960 Kentucky Derby. ShoemakerÆs mount, Tompion, was expected to win the 1960 Derby. The challenger, Bally Ache, was known to like an off track, and on Derby Day the track was fast. Nevertheless, Bally Ache took the lead at the first turn and through the backstretch. At the final turn Bally Ache still had the lead and the rail. Then Venetian Way, a 7-1 shot whom Bally Ache had beaten earlier in the season, came up to challenge on the outside. In the stretch, Venetian Way, under Bill Hartack, pulled away to win in 2:02.4. his fans ôArnieÆs Army.ö PalmerÆs appeal stemmed from his ability to come from behind and fight his way out of trouble with miraculous recoveries.d Great Britain as nations who had built atomic bombs.t of U.S. citizens to travel.öut most people seemed to enjoy the show.He was fined $10,000 and put on probation for the tax evasion charge.ing said, ôNo one looking at the demands can ignore the truth in them.öhis toe: ôIÆm too old to cry and it hurts too much to laugh.ö He lost again to Ike in 1956, but became American ambassador to the U.N. in 1961.

Aly Khan, second son of Aga Khan III, spiritual leader of 20 million Moslems, was born in Italy on June 13, 1911. His mother was an Italian artist. He won numerous decorations while fighting in the French Foreign Legion and the U.S. Army during World War II. After the war Khan became known as a playboy, but also proved himself to be a shrewd businessman and a skillful diplomat; at the time of his death he was serving as PakistanÆs ambassador to the United Nations. But he was perhaps better known for his romances with such movie actresses as sex symbol Rita Hayworth and Gene Tierney.

Congressman Adam Clayton PowellÆs troubles began in 1960 when he called a Harlem widow a ôbagwoman,ö a slang term for someone who delivers payments from criminals to corrupt policemen. The woman sued and won, but Powell, always brash, refused to pay courtûawarded damages. The legal wrangling led to a congressional investigation of Powell, which uncovered further charges of unethical practices. Powell called the investigation racist: ôIt was lynching û Northern style.ö In 1967, Congress voted to bar Powell from taking his seat; but he was re-elected by his constituents anyway. Two years later, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that PowellÆs exclusion was unconstitutional. car.way out of trouble with miraculous recoveries.d Great Britain as nations who had built atomic bombs.t of U.S. citizens to travel.öut most people seemed to enjoy the show.He was fined $10,000 and put on probation for the tax evasion charge.ing said, ôNo one looking at the demands can ignore the truth in them.öhis toe: ôIÆm too old to cry and it hurts too much to laugh.ö He lost again to Ike in 1956, but became American ambassador to the U.N. in 1961.

In 1967, Ramparts magazine reported that for 15 years the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency had been funnelling funds into the National Student Association (NSA), the nationÆs largest student organization, and had made the organization a CIA overseas propaganda instrument. Student operatives had been carefully recruited - in a manner rather similar to a fraternity rush - and rewarded in cash for reports to the CIA on student politics. The Ramparts story sent other reporters scurrying and soon it was learned that the CIA had set up more than a dozen foundation ôfrontsö to support ostensibly private, independent U.S. organizations, spending an estimated $50 million a year.car.way out of trouble with miraculous recoveries.d Great Britain as nations who had built atomic bombs.t of U.S. citizens to travel.öut most people seemed to enjoy the show.He was fined $10,000 and put on probation for the tax evasion charge.ing said, ôNo one looking at the demands can ignore the truth in them.öhis toe: ôIÆm too old to cry and it hurts too much to laugh.ö He lost again to Ike in 1956, but became American ambassador to the U.N. in 1961.

Thurgood Marshall, a greatûgrandson of a slave, was appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court on June 13, 1967, by President Lyndon Johnson. MarshallÆs qualifications were impressive. He had argued 32 civil rights cases before the Supreme Court and had served as a federal judge and the U.S. solicitor general, as well as special counsel to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

Svetlana Alliluyeva made headlines on March 6, 1967, when she asked for political asylum in the United States. She was the only daughter of deceased Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. Alliluyeva, born in Moscow in 1925, reported that she remembered her father as being gruffly affectionate. The relationship between father and daughter became strained over her marriages to Jewish men. After his death, she secretly wrote her memoirs Twenty Letters To a Friend. In the 1960s she fell in love and married an Indian Communist.

On April 26, 1967, Svetlana Alliluyeva, only daughter of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin, talked to Western reporters about her father. She said she did not believe that her father was the only person responsible for the reign of terror which occurred under his dictatorship. Blame for ôthose horrible things, killing people unjustlyö should be shared by the Communist officials still in power in Russia, she said.

Race riots broke out in March in the Watts section of Los Angeles, and over the next months spread to Nashville, Cleveland, New York, Chicago and dozens of other U.S. cities. In Newark, New Jersey, 26 people died in six days of arson, looting, and gunfire. In Detroit, a week of rioting left 40 dead, 2,000 injured, and 5,000 homeless. Over 4,000 federal paratroopers and 8,000 National Guardsmen were called in to restore order. Damages totalled close to $500 million.

Allegedly, Rodriquez had lunged at the officer wielding a knife. Upon news of his death, a crowd gathered and some stores were looted. Police cleared the streets by morning. The next night, crowds again swarmed through the streets. Police open fire, claiming their were under fire from snipers. A 16ûyearûold boy and a 44ûyearûold woman died.

In 1967, the Georgia legislature elected Democrat Lester G. Maddox governor by a vote of 182-66. 10 members, including nine of the stateÆs 10 black legislators, did not vote. The election ended a historic and bitter battle. Maddox was a staunch segregationist who had closed his Atlanta restaurant rather than bow to the 1964 Civil Rights Act. In the election neither he nor his opponent, Republican Howard Callaway, had obtained a majority. That threw the election to a vote of the Democratically dominated legislature. However, a lower court blocked the vote until the legislature was reapportioned on the basis of population û citing the principle of ôone personûone vote.ö But the U.S. Supreme court overturned the ruling, and Maddox was elected.tions who had built atomic bombs.t of U.S. citizens to travel.öut most people seemed to enjoy the show.He was fined $10,000 and put on probation for the tax evasion charge.ing said, ôNo one looking at the demands can ignore the truth in them.öhis toe: ôIÆm too old to cry and it hurts too much to laugh.ö He lost again to Ike in 1956, but became American ambassador to the U.N. in 1961.

YugoslaviaÆs President Josip Broz Tito had created a unique blend of capitalism and socialism in his Communist nation. Most land was privately farmed, factory management was under local control, Yugoslavian citizens were free to travel, and press and artistic freedom of expression were less restricted than in other eastern bloc nations. So Tito was quick to support CzechoslovakiaÆs leader Alexander Dubcek when he began to institute similar liberal reforms. He visited Prague on August 9 - 11, 1968, to show his support.

Reverend Hosea Williams, a close friend of Martin Luther King, Jr., said King had lingered before leaving the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee the day he was shot. In an interview on April 5, 1968, Williams said it seemed ironic that King, who was always in a hurry, should have dallied long enough for his killer to succeed. Williams was pessimistic about the future of the nonviolent protest movement now that its leader had been struck down.

On June 20, 1966, the Senate Select Committee on Standards and Conduct opened formal hearings on charges of official misconduct against Senator Thomas J. Dodd of Connecticut. The investigation began when four former employees of Dodd provided journalists with 4,000 documents from DoddÆs files. Dodd eventually admitted that he had used contributions for personal expenses and that the Senate had been doubleûbilled for trips that had been paid for by private organizations. Dodd blamed the doubleùbilling on the sloppy bookkeeping of one of his accusers, former employee Michael OÆHare. OÆHare replied that unlike most senators, Dodd wasnÆt worthy of respect.

An estimated 900 to 1,100 delegates from 197 black organizations in 42 cities throughout the United States gathered in Newark, New Jersey, July 20-23, 1967 for a four-day National Conference on Black Power. The conference atmosphere was militant and separatist. Whites were barred from all meetings and workshops.

After a summer of building racial tension, riots broke out in Newark, New Jersey on July 12, 1967. The cause of the riots was a false rumor that a black cab driver had been beaten to death in a precinct police station. During the following six days, 24 blacks and 2 whites were killed, more than 1,500 people were reported injured, and damage was estimated to be as high as $30 million.

George Lincoln Rockwell, who had once published a magazine for the wives of U.S. servicemen called U.S. Lady, discovered HitlerÆs memoir Mein Kampf while in the U.S. Navy. In 1958, he founded the American Nazi Party. Party members denounced racial desegregation and dressed in brown shirts and other Nazi regalia. The party gained wide publicity, but never attracted a large following. In 1967, Rockwell was shot outside a Laundromat near his Arlington, Virginia headquarters.

Patler was arrested three-quarters of a mile from the scene and charged him with the crime. Patler, 29, had been in charge of a Nazi printing plant, but had been ousted by Rockwell because Patler had fomented trouble within party ranks by setting fair-skinned Caucasians against dark-skinned Caucasians.

On April 27, 1967, the Senate Ethics Committee unanimously recommended censure for Senator Thomas J. Dodd (D-Conn.). The Committee had found that Dodd had used testimonial and campaign funds ôfor his personal benefitö and had requested reimbursement ôfrom both the Senate and private organizations for the same travel.ö û i.e. double billing. On June 23, 1967, by a vote of 92-5, the Senate voted to censure Mr. Dodd for using testimonial and campaign funds for personal expenses.

On May 15, 1968, Richard NixonÆs campaign to win the Republican presidential nomination in 1968 took him to Pendleton, Oregon. There he commented on the need for a volunteer army. Without mentioning the draft specifically, Nixon said, ôWeÆre not going to have another war like World War Two.

In July 1968, Richard Nixon addressed 3,000 delegates at the annual meeting of the National Association of Counties. Nixon, who was seeking the Republican presidential nomination, painted a grim picture of American cities ôchoked with traffic, choked with people, choked with pollution,ö exploding into crime and violence. It wasnÆt enough just to visualize this frightening picture, Nixon said - something must be done about it.

On July 31, 1968, Richard Nixon ruled out a guaranteed income or a negative income tax as a way to attack poverty. In discussing the welfare problem, Nixon said that people in their 40s or above, who were or had been on welfare, were lost insofar as making them productive members of society was concerned. He suggested that America concentrate on saving its youth.

Sharing the steps of City Hall in Civic Center Plaza, San Francisco, with Black Panther leader Bobby Seale, boxer Muhammed Ali was alternately cheered and booed by some 15,000 persons on April 27, 1968. The occasion was the end of a two-day anti-war protest. In his speech, Ali referred to the teachings of Elijah Muhammad and said that the Muslims wanted to ôestablish a separate state or country... even on this continent... or elsewhere.ö He said that blacks had given the United States ô400 years of sweat and bloodö and had received in return nothing but the worst kind of treatment.

In May 1968, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Arthur Goldberg gave a sober appraisal of the United StatesÆ position in the world. He spoke to the National Press Club on May 24, 1968. The United States, as a world power, had to accept certain responsibilities, Goldberg said, ôbut we donÆt have to involve ourselves in everything.ö U.S. should not assume the role of world policeman, he said.

In a May 24, 1968 speech to the National Press Club, former United States ambassador to the United Nations Arthur Goldberg contrasted the views of the U.S. and Soviet Union on the role of the U.N. Secretary General. The U.S.S.R. wanted a ôglorified clerk,ö he said, whereas the U.S. felt that the position required a ôstrong executive.ö But if the American position were adopted, he said, the U.S. would have to put up with actions the secretary takes even when the U.S. opposed them.ould be to establish a ôdetente with the Soviet Union and look for a modus vivendi (way of living with) Red China.ö United States.ö.uld take control of the port city upon expiration of the original lease in 1997. than 2600 wounded in the war.lection to Richard Nixon.- they just kept their mouths shut and took over certain institutions.öseemed to enjoy the show.He was fined $10,000 and put on probation for the tax evasion charge.ing said, ôNo one looking at the demands can ignore the truth in them.öhis toe: ôIÆm too old to cry and it hurts too much to laugh.ö He lost again to Ike in 1956, but became American ambassador to the U.N. in 1961.

In April 1968, Arthur Goldberg resigned as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. In order to assume the U.N. post in 1965, Goldberg had resigned as a justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. He said he had left the court with ôpain,ö but said he had ôresponded to a call of dutyö to take the ambassadorship. Mr. GoldbergÆs letter of resignation from the U.N. job cited ôpersonal reasonsö for his decision, but speculation was rife that Goldberg was disappointed he hadnÆt been given a bigger role in peace negotiations between the U.S. and North Vietnamese.

The 1968 convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People featured dozens of heated discussions over the organizationÆs future. Older, more conservative members struggled with the younger, more militant blacks who believed that the NAACPÆs traditional methods of working within the system and working in a spirit of cooperation with whites were no longer viable.

DancerÆs Image came in first in the 1968 Kentucky Derby, but was disqualified later after a painûkiller was detected in the coltÆs urine. Instead the winnerÆs share of the purse went to the second-place horse, Forward Pass. The trainers of DancerÆs Image insisted that the drug had been given legally, and the horseÆs owner, Peter Fuller, appealed to the Kentucky State racing commission. The commission found that the drug had been given illegally but that the drug tests were flawed. Then, curiously, the commission decided to declare DancerÆs Image the winner but to hold the purse in escrow.

On October 12, 1960, 61-year-old Inejiro Asanuma, chairman of JapanÆs Socialist Party, was fatally stabbed at a Tokyo meeting by a 17-year-old assassin. AsanumaÆs killer was Otoya Yamaguchi, a student and former member of the Greater Japan Patriotic Party. Asanuma was the leader of a campaign against ratification of the U.S.-Japanese Security Pact; Yamaguchi, who was seized immediately after the stabbing, said he had killed Asanuma because he believed Asanuma intended to form a Communist government in Japan.

It was the top of the eighth in the final game of the Series and Pittsburgh was trailing. Pittsburgh Pirate Gino Cimoli opened with a base hit. Bill Virdon then hit a routine ground ball to New York Yankee shortstop Tony Kubek. It looked like the start of a double play. But the ball took a wicked hop right into KubekÆs AdamÆs apple. Kubek collapsed. Cimoli ran to second and Virdon was safe at first. Kubek had to leave the game.

Hundreds of thousands of East Germans left their country before the Communists built the Berlin Wall. By early August 1961, 3,000 East Germans a day were escaping from the Sovietûcontrolled half of Berlin. The East Germans were forced to evacuate apartments along the cityÆs dividing line because so many residents were jumping from their windows to freedom. Finally, on August 13, the East German government closed the border dividing the city.

On August 13, 1961, the ruling Communists in East Germany closed the border between East and West Berlin to stop the flow of refugees out of their country. Barbed wire barriers were erected along the 25-mile border. Houses along the border were razed to create a 50- to 100-yard ôno manÆs landö to discourage the escape of East German citizens. But nothing stopped those who wanted freedom. Although the border was heavily patrolled by armed guards and armored trucks, people still cut holes and squirmed through the barrier to reach the West and safety.

On January 8, 1959, Cuban rebel Fidel Castro marched into Havana, effectively taking control of the island nation. The regime of Fulgencio Batista was ended. Fidel Castro Ruz was born in 1926, the son of a wealthy landowner. He became a lawyer and began to champion the poor and oppressed in Cuban courts. When Fulgencio Batista established a military dictatorship in 1952, Castro tried to raise a rebellion. He was captured, jailed, and then exiled to Mexico. He returned to the island with a band of guerrillas in 1956. In 1959, BatistaÆs regime collapsed and Castro came to power. Newspapers worldwide hailed the revolution as a victory for freedom over tyranny. Castro, however, continued to show a taste for power as well as leftist leanings, and eventually came to rule Cuba as a communist dictator.certain institutions.öseemed to enjoy the show.He was fined $10,000 and put on probation for the tax evasion charge.ing said, ôNo one looking at the demands can ignore the truth in them.öhis toe: ôIÆm too old to cry and it hurts too much to laugh.ö He lost again to Ike in 1956, but became American ambassador to the U.N. in 1961.

President Dwight Eisenhower officially proclaimed Hawaii a state on August 21, 1959, and then unfurled the new 50-star American flag. The new state included all the Hawaiian islands except Palmyra island, 1,100 miles south of Honolulu. Palmyra remained privately owned. Hawaiians went all out in a wild celebration. Cars filled with revellers jammed the road along Waikiki Beach. School children joined in the celebration. At Pearl Harbor, sailors lit a gigantic bonfire which blazed through the night as a symbol of statehood.9, BatistaÆs regime collapsed and Castro came to power.

In June of 1961, American first lady Jacqueline Kennedy combined sightseeing and governmental courtesy on an eightûday Greek holiday. She toured the Acropolis and visited with Queen Frederika and King Paul in Athens. She sailed from island to island aboard a yacht. On the island of Epidaurus, she watched part of a rehearsal of Electra in a 2,500-year-old theater. She danced to folk music on the island of Hydra and water-skied off Poros.

In 1960, Japanese leftists were enraged by the terms of the new JapaneseûU.S. security treaty. On June 10, 6,000 demonstrators at Tokyo airport met a U.S. delegation, led by James Hagerty, as it arrived to prepare for a scheduled June 19 visit by President Dwight Eisenhower. The angry mob forced HagertyÆs limousine to a stop at the airfield, and held his party prisoner as police tried to push and shove the crowd away. A Marine helicopter arrived after an hour and evacuated Hagerty and the other Americans. This and other riots forced Japanese Premier Nobusuke Kishi to ask Eisenhower to postpone his trip.

The leaders of the two most powerful nations of the world had their first meetings for two days in June, 1961. John F. Kennedy was the president of the United States; Nikita Khrushchev was the powerful premier of the Soviet Union. The first meetings included various other officials, but later the two men met with only interpreters. The two discussed Germany, Berlin, disarmament and a neutral Laos.

Algeria was controlled by France at the time, and the coup was led by French officers objecting to the announcement by President Charles de Gaulle of a truce in the seven-year war with Moslem rebels fighting for freedom and self-government. De Gaulle closed Paris airfields to thwart a threatened paratroop attack by the Algiers-based forces, and made an emotional televised speech. The mutiny ended when most French troops outside of Algeria backed de Gaulle and refused to join in the revolt.

KhrushchevÆs arrival speech was mild in tone and made no mention of the SovietsÆ interception of an American U-2 spy plane on May 1. KhrushchevÆs tone raised hopes for a successful summit. However, when the summit officially began on May 16, Khrushchev demanded an immediate U.S. apology for the spy flights, and a promise they would be discontinued.

An East-West summit conference, attended by United States President Dwight Eisenhower, Prime Minister Harold Macmillan of Great Britain, President Charles de Gaulle of France, and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, collapsed on its first day on May 16, 1960. Khrushchev used his opening statement to denounce United States policy, and demanded that Eisenhower apologize for American U-2 spy plane flights over Soviet territory. Eisenhower balked at these conditions and the summit broke off three hours after it began. Despite attempts by President De Gaulle of France and Prime Minister Macmillan of Great Britain to get talks resumed, no further talks took place until President John Kennedy was inaugurated one year later.ing under external direction and control.öcame to rule Cuba as a communist dictator.certain institutions.öseemed to enjoy the show.He was fined $10,000 and put on probation for the tax evasion charge.ing said, ôNo one looking at the demands can ignore the truth in them.öhis toe: ôIÆm too old to cry and it hurts too much to laugh.ö He lost again to Ike in 1956, but became American ambassador to the U.N. in 1961.

New American President John Kennedy, with his wife Jacqueline, travelled to Europe in late May, 1961. Face-to-face talks for Kennedy had been arranged with leaders of the major European powers: Charles de Gaulle of France, Nikita Khrushchev of the U.S.S.R., and Harold Macmillan of the United Kingdom. In Paris, the chief topics of discussions were the defense of Berlin, the role of NATO, and disarmament. Jacqueline Kennedy, fluent in French, made a particularly positive impression on the people of Paris.

In early April, 1961, Prime Minister Harold Macmillan spent three days in Washington which produced closer coordination of Western foreign policies. Macmillan and President John Kennedy agreed not to accede to U.S.S.R. demands for a joint three-member commission to enforce the nuclear test ban treaty. They also agreed to consider support for the South Vietnamese government of President Ngo Dinh Diem, which was under increasing Communist guerrilla attacks.

Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro took power in Havana early in 1959. Many Cubans escaped at that time, including the former head of the Cuban Air Force, Major Pedro Diaz Lantz. Later that year, Lantz led several planes in dropping anti-Castro leaflets across Cuba. In October, in a televised address, Castro angrily accused the United States of actively supporting the ôraid,ö which he said had killed two people and injured 45.

President Kennedy gave his State of the Union message on January 11,1962 expressing confidence in the U.S. domestic and international outlook, and making 30 legislative requests. Chief among them were a strong plea for a Social Security system of health insurance for the aged; a five-year Trade Expansion Act to permit the gradual elimination of tariffs between the United States and the European Community; and a permanently strengthened unemployment compensation system.

In 1962, President John Kennedy answered questions from the press regarding the proposed trip of his press secretary, Pierre Salinger, to Russia. Some believed Salinger was not qualified for the trip. Kennedy defended the visit by saying that Salinger had important contacts with influential Russians, including journalist Aleksei Adzhubei, son-in-law of Premier Nikita Khrushchev. Kennedy drew a laugh by joking that since Salinger had accomplished the job he was hired to do - namely to improve KennedyÆs popularity rating - he was free and competent to perform other services.dedicated attack on adult illiteracy.o days of tense talks.

The Cuban missile crisis began when American reconnaissance planes discovered that offensive missiles, capable of carrying nuclear warheads into the United States, were being shipped to Cuba by the Soviet Union. President John Kennedy announced a naval blockade of Cuba, and American forces were put on high alert. Tension was extremely high around the world; many felt an invasion and perhaps nuclear war were imminent. After a week of tension and negotiations, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev agreed to dismantle the missiles.

Vice President Richard Nixon left Washington on July 22, 1959, for an 11-day visit to the Soviet Union. NixonÆs visit turned rocky right away, as he and Nikita Khrushchev, the talkative Soviet premier, began a battle f sarcastic remarks about each otherÆs countries.

On February 22, 1961, Israel issued a formal 15-count indictment accusing Nazi Adolf Eichmann of committing crimes against Jews, crimes against humanity, and other war crimes during World War II. The trial began on April 11 in Tel Aviv. The 54-year-old Eichmann, former SS Lieutenant Colonel and head of the GestapoÆs Bureau for Jewish Affairs, stood in a specially constructed dock made of bullet-proof glass. EichmannÆs defense attorney immediately questioned the impartiality of the court, and argued that since Eichmann had been abducted from Argentina, the court had no jurisdiction in the case.

On February 22, 1961, an Israeli court charged Adolf Eichmann with being one of the primary planners, initiators and organizers of the ôfinal solutionö program of Nazi Germany, which killed millions of Jews and others at concentration camps. Eichmann argued that he was just following orders and that he was only providing transportation to the camps, not ordering the deaths at them. His arguments failed. He was found guilty on each of the 15 counts of war crimes, genocide, and membership in Nazi organizations and sentenced to death. Eichmann was hanged on May 31, 1962.risdiction in the case.

On September 29, 1960, Prime Minister Harold Macmillan of the United Kingdom spoke on disarmament at the United Nations. The speech was interrupted twice by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, who blurted out reactions to MacmillanÆs words. KhrushchevÆs first words were reported as, ôDonÆt send your spy planes to our country, donÆt send U-2.ö The second time he demanded, ôYou accept our proposals on disarmament and we will accept any form of controls.ö Macmillan was attempting to improve Western relations with the Soviet Union, which had been battered by the Soviet downing of an American U-2 spy plane earlier that year., and the trial began.

Khrushchev visited the West Coast on his week-long U.S. tour and all Hollywood turned out to give the Soviet leader a remarkable welcome. Actress Shirley MacLaine brought Khrushchev to the Can- Can movie set and introduced him to Frank Sinatra and other Hollywood celebrities. At a luncheon later, he sparred with 20th Century-Fox President Spyros Skouras. After Skouras praised capitalism for the opportunities it had given him, a poor boy who began work at 12, Khrushchev countered with a story of how he himself had begun work ôwhen I could walkö and had served at the pleasure of rich capitalists.

There are over one hundred different viruses that can cause a cold. And all are capable of altering their characteristics from season to season. On December 21, 1968, after a decade spent in research, the University of Chicago came up with these and other facts concerning the common cold and the fight against it. Among other findings: ôFresh colds seem to be more contagious than older ones, and childrenÆs colds have been shown to be more contagious than those of adults.ö Researchers also noted that, on any given day, over 20 million people have colds.ö and had served at the pleasure of rich capitalists.

Dr. Dare Miller became a leading dog psychologist in the 1960s, operating the Canine Behavior Institute in Beverly Hills, California.

On February 1, 1968, the Committee for Fair Divorce and Alimony Laws held a press conference at New York CityÆs Belmont Plaza Hotel.

There were few black faces in television commercials prior to 1968. Some said advertisers were convinced that blacks might hurt sales. Others put the blame on advertising agencies. The subject of much discussion in the late 1960s, black actors gradually began to appear on the screen after studies showed that minorities in commercials actually increased sales.

English citizens became increasingly preoccupied with problems of race in 1968. An emerging group of Conservative party anti-immigrationists, including J. Enoch Powell, felt that immigration endangered the country. In an April 20, 1968 speech at a Conservative meeting in Birmingham, Powell said that Britain should curtail immigration of blacks and encourage those already in the country to leave. Powell was reprimanded by the head of the party, Edward Heath, but continued to speak out against greater concentrations of Africans, Asians and Indians in the country.

After heated public debate, commercials appeared on French television for the first time on October 1, 1968. The French government wanted the ads to raise revenues for the state-run networks; but bitter opposition was led by the French press, which argued that since TV ads could only be afforded by rich corporations, they might lead to a powerful and unsavory government-big business conspiracy. Nonetheless, the National Assembly voted in mid-1968 to allow the ads, and on October 1 the first three appeared - one for powdered milk, one for sweaters that were advertised as staying in shape forever, and one for a brand of cheese.

Moynihan was blunt and to the point: ôTo meet violence with indifference or punitive measures would be the worst thing we can do.ö He suggested that the present violence had been foreshadowed by the emergence of ôan urban lower classö that Washington, D.C., as a Southern middle-class city, had tried to ignore.

Dubcek relaxed censorship laws, installed a new cabinet, and on April 9 issued a manifesto promising fuller civil rights. The resulting excitement among the population came to be known as the ôPrague Spring.ö But the changes were too daring for hard-line leaders from other Eastern European countries; and the spirit of freedom in the air was rapidly dispelled when Soviet tanks, along with 200,000 Soviet troops, rolled into Czechoslovakia on August 20 and crushed the reforms.

On April 11, 1968, a week after the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.Æs death and the worst outbreak of racial violence in the history of Washington, D.C., two black teachers in a ghetto public school spoke of the childrenÆs reactions to the violence. The teachers assigned students to give their impressions of the past week through drawings and essays. Both teachers later agreed that the biggest single shock to the children was the sight of soldiers equipped for battle and patrolling the streets.

The first human heart transplant occurred in Cape Town, South Africa on December 3, 1967. Dr. Christiaan Barnard took the heart of Denise Ann Darvall, who had died hours earlier, and transplanted it into the chest of 55-year-old Louis Washkansky. The operation was performed at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town. Mr. Washkansky, a grocer, survived 18 days before succumbing to double pneumonia. The tremendous amount of steroids used to protect his body from the rejection process with the alien heart had apparently impaired his ability to fight off infection.

Mourners included Jacqueline Kennedy, the widow of RobertÆs brother John, President and Mrs. Lyndon Johnson, and hundreds of other dignitaries. Senator Edward Kennedy, the last survivor of four Kennedy brothers, said these words: ôMy brother need not be idealized or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life. He should be remembered simply as a good and decent man who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it.

After the funeral, the body of the slain senator was placed in a train to be carried to Washington, D.C. for burial at Arlington National Cemetery. Normally a four-hour trip, the trainÆs voyage took over eight due to the crush of people gathered along the route to see the train pass. The crowding was so great that a number of accidents occurred, including the deaths of a man and woman in Elizabeth, New Jersey, who were struck by a New York-bound express train.

The 57-day strike by New York dock workers in 1968 was the longest in the history of the Port of New York. The major issues in the strike, which also affected cities up and down the Atlantic seaboard, were the increasing use of automated equipment for loading and unloading vessels, and the rapid rise in the use of container ships, which were cutting into employment. New YorkÆs longshoremen settled on February 14, 1969, on a contract that included a $1.60 per-hour wage increase, a paid-work guarantee of 2,080 hours a year, and a two-week-per-year increase in paid vacation, for a new total of six. black students and police.ll into 1968.is brother John F.

The Poor PeopleÆs Campaign, originated by Martin Luther King Jr. in August, 1967, brought thousands of poor people to Washington, D.C. in May and June of 1968 to call attention to the plight of the poor in America. The protesters, led by Reverend Ralph Abernathy, erected a canvas and plywood shantytown near the Lincoln Memorial, calling it ôResurrection City.ö Groups from all over the country converged on the site by mule train, bus and car. Plagued by heavy rain, poor sanitation and lack of funds, many of the campers nonetheless remained until June 23, when the groupÆs camping permit, issued by the National Parks Service, ran out.

The 1968 Democratic Convention was held in Chicago under extraordinarily tight security. In the wake of the assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., and faced with a transportation strike and many loud and rebellious demonstrators against the Vietnam War, Chicago Mayor Richard Daley turned the Chicago International Amphitheatre into a virtual armed fortress. Chain-link and barbed-wire fences surrounded the building, with checkpoints manned by National Guardsmen and Chicago police. The heavy security further alienated protesters, and dozens of arguments and riots broke out during the conventionÆs four days, August 26 - 29. Police broke up the violent protests with tear gas, mace, clubs, and rifle butts. The violent scene created loud and bitter disputes on the convention floor.

Bobby Seale, a leader of the Black Panther Party and the black struggle for equal rights in the United States, defended the arming of the party at a Panther rally in Los Angeles on April 15, 1969. The Panthers were considered radical in their civil rights offensive and their use of guns was always controversial, even among young blacks. According to Seale, however, guns were a necessary component of the Panther effort. He said: ô...because the power of the people is where itÆs at... weÆre going out on the streets and educate the people about the fact that the gun is a proper, a very proper liberation tool.öand Island on July 2, 1937, while trying to fly around the world.

As radical protest became an accepted mode of communication in the struggle for equal rights for blacks, moderate leaders came under increasing pressure to defend their methods. Bayard Rustin described his ideas in a speech to black leaders in Jackson, Mississippi, on December 14, 1967. Rustin, who had once considered communism as a conduit for change, and rejected this concept after five years in the Young Communist League, was then in the forefront of black leadership and very much regarded as a moderate. ôOne must engage occasionally in protest, for protest calls attention to the evils,ö he said. ôBut the job of ending the evils can be solved only through the achievements of billions of dollars from Congress.

In 1934, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt authorized the establishment of a Committee on Economic Security to study and develop national safeguards for the national problems that had become evident as the U.S. economy limped along. The result was the Social Security Act, signed into law by the President on August 14, 1935. The Social Security bill provided a broad program of unemployment insurance and old-age pensions and could be counted upon, according to a New York Times article on August 15, 1935, to benefit some 30 million people. Roosevelt said, ôWe can never insure 100 percent of the population against 100 percent of the hazards and vicissitudes of life, but we have tried to frame a law which will give some measure of protection to the average citizen and to his family against loss of a job and against poverty-ridden old age.öin politics. speech to ôGestapo tactics in the streets of Chicago,ö leading to an angry response from Mayor Daley.

The 1936 presidential election focused on the contest between President Franklin Roosevelt and the Republican challenger, Alf Landon. But there were at least two other candidates, lesser known but still fervent in their pursuit of votes. The Communist candidate, Earl Browder, often drew hostile reactions from the crowds gathered to hear him speak. He received 80,000 votes in the general election. Meanwhile, Socialist candidate Norman Thomas was barnstorming the country, seeking votes and a measure of respect for the Socialist doctrine. Thomas beat Browder, but still received less than 200,000 votes in the election.rcent of the hazards and vicissitudes of life, but we have tried to frame a law which will give some measure of protection to the average citizen and to his family against loss of a job and against poverty-ridden old age.öin politics. speech to ôGestapo tactics in the streets of Chicago,ö leading to an angry response from Mayor Daley.

Columbia University in the East, and University of California, Berkeley in the West, became synonymous with student radicals, peace marches, and anti-establishment attitudes in the 1960s. But student antiwar protests in the Æ60s were not new phenomena. In the 1930s there was a very strong antiwar movement on American college campuses. The students of the 1930s marched to urge no war in the future. Many were attracted to the Socialist movement.

United States aid to Great Britain reached near-combat levels during the summer of 1941. Boosted by President Franklin Roosevelt, aid to Britain via the ôLend Leaseö program had steadily grown for two years. On July 11, Democratic Senator Burton Wheeler joined his Republican colleague Robert Taft in criticism of FDRÆs decision to send troops across the Atlantic to Iceland.

The 1936 election for the presidency featured heated arguments over the role of the federal government.

In 1933, in one of several raids that occurred across the country, the New York Police Department seized and destroyed a half million dollars worth of narcotics. At that time, as before, marijuana was considered a narcotic and a dangerous drug, possession of which was punishable as a felony. Marijuana was also thought by some to be poisonous. Even up to the 1980s, when marijuana had become in some circles fairly acceptable as an intoxicant, it was still thought by others to lead to mental illness.

On August 16, 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald stood outside the International Trade Mart in New Orleans and distributed literature calling for fair trade with Cuba. The connections between Oswald and Communist Cuba would be a source of controversy after he was arrested for the assassination of President Kennedy.

America had yet to consider fully the implications of the Kennedy assassination when Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald in the basement of a Dallas jail. Despite heavy police guard, the Dallas nightclub owner was able to get close enough to Oswald to shoot him to death, as news cameras recorded the whole event. The questions raised that day, November 24, 1963 may well go unanswered for all time. Did Oswald act alone? Was there a conspiracy? What role did Jack Ruby play in the assassination? Why did he shoot Oswald? As late as 1977, the United States Congress re-investigated events surrounding the assassination, and the questions remained as difficult to answer as ever.and wives.

On the county courthouse steps, Vivian said Clark was against granting the vote to blacks because the new voters would never reelect Clark. Vivian barraged the sheriff with accusations, and told the white men who joined Clark on the steps that they were following Clark blindly, like so many people followed Hitler in the thirties.ld?

From all over the nation, from the ghettos of the North and the fields of the South, Americans both black and white converged on Washington, D.C. in August, 1963. Their demand: the immediate granting of equality in employment and education to blacks.

Two hundred thousand Americans filled the Mall between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument in the nationÆs capital on August 28, 1963. They were addressed and entertained by many, but the highlight of the day came when the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke. ôI have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character...

After the 1929 economic collapse, the American labor movement was demoralized. The Depression set in; unemployment reached 13 million. Membership in unions grew and so did managementÆs resistance. In Flint, Michigan, machine guns were brought in by management; in Dearborn, Henry Ford recruited a private army of 3,000 known as the goon squads. In the South, union organizers were met by vigilante groups. Among the most violent encounters was the Republic Steel strike of 1937, in which 10 workers were killed in a bloody Memorial Day Massacre.and molehill of Mississippi, from every countryside, let freedom ring... free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty we are free at last.öate war.öand shooting them down?öasure of protection to the average citizen and to his family against loss of a job and against poverty-ridden old age.öin politics. speech to ôGestapo tactics in the streets of Chicago,ö leading to an angry response from Mayor Daley.

The Senate Rackets Committee, chaired by Senator John McClellan of Arkansas, hired Robert Kennedy, brother of committee member Senator John Kennedy, as committee counsel. Throughout the late 1950s, Robert Kennedy questioned James Hoffa, Teamster Union vice president, on his use of union money. The two clashed angrily several times. The Rackets Committee probe was considered to have been instrumental in raising awareness of misuse of union funds. HoffaÆs Teamsters Union was among the most heavily scrutinized.

The two most widely popular forms, both of which are Olympic events, are Greco-Roman and freestyle. Another form, Sumo wrestling, is by far the most popular in Japan. In Sumo, victory comes from forcing oneÆs opponent out of a 15-foot (4.6 meters) ring or throwing him to the ground within the circle. The wrestlers carry out elaborate sacred purification rituals prior to their bouts, which often last only a few seconds.

At the close of World War II, JapanÆs economy was a shambles. With the assistance of the United States, Japan rapidly rebuilt its economy and soon achieved the highest growth rate in the world. Manufacturing employed more than 25 percent of Japanese workers. The major products included heavy machinery, clothing, shoes, and electronic materials. By the late 1970s Japanese cars had made strong inroads into the American market, and in the 1980s Japanese video games and electronic products took the world by storm.

The Haus-Rucker Company, a three-member Austrian team of artist-designers, brought its Living Museum to New YorkÆs Museum of Contemporary Crafts from May 14 - June 7, 1970. The artistsÆ intention was to infuse the spirit of life into the exhibit. Accordingly, the artists set up actual living, sleeping, and eating quarters in the museum which, interspersed with their works, were open to the public. This gave museum-goers the chance to see both the artistsÆ work and the artists themselves.

Lewis, head of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), had won major victories in organizing unions in the automobile and coal industries. His next target was steel. Lewis felt that once an agreement was signed with U.S. Steel, the industryÆs giant, the smaller companies would follow suit. However, the ôLittle Steelö corporations resisted, and Lewis called for a strike of their workers.

In 79 A.D., Mount Vesuvius erupted and destroyed the city of Herculaneum, along with its sister cities of Pompeii and Stabiae. Herculaneum was covered by over 100 feet of lava and mud, making it extremely difficult to excavate, but at the same time preserving its hidden treasures. In 1709, a farmer from Resina, the village which lies above part of the old city, was digging a well and accidentally discovered part of HerculaneumÆs ancient theater. The King of Naples started regular excavations in 1738. English archaeologist Charles Waldstein raised international funds for a new series of digs in 1904. These excavations, interrupted only by World War II, yielded a clear picture of life in ancient Herculaneum.

Truman bid farewell on January 15, 1953, to the Americans he had served for seven years as the nationÆs highest elected official. Mr. Truman said that in 1945 when he succeeded Franklin Roosevelt, a man and a legend, he had felt that ôthere must have been a million men better qualified than I,ö but felt he had given ôeverything that was in me.ö He appealed for support for his successor, Dwight Eisenhower, who would now shoulder the tremendous burdens of the office.

Nationalist Chinese troops, prepared by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek for what he saw as his messianic invasion of the Chinese mainland, stood for inspections by their leader in January, 1953. Although the Nationalist troop strength was estimated to be near 600,000, only 30,000 of that number, or five percent of the army, was trained for the guerrilla-style warfare necessitated by the terrain in South East Asia. However, Taiwan had purchased some new fighter planes from foreign supporters.

The Senate Internal Subcommittee conducted an investigation in 1953 into the circumstances in which Harry Dexter White, accused of being pro-Soviet, had been appointed to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 1946. The problem arose after Attorney General Herbert Brownell charged that former President Harry Truman had appointed White even though he knew White was a ôRussian spy.ö President Dwight D. Eisenhower, still in his first year, rejected the notion that Truman would knowingly have appointed a spy to the post. Truman, stung, appeared on radio and television coast to coast to defend his actions. He said he had allowed White to take up the post because he was unaware of WhiteÆs activities until after the Senate had cleared him.

At 5:00 a.m. on June 25, 1950, 75,000 North Korean troops crossed the 38th parallel and entered South Korea. It was an iron-fisted declaration of war. Two days later, President Harry S. Truman ordered U.S. forces under General Douglas MacArthur to repel the Communist invaders. His announcement came just hours after the United Nations Security Council, though boycotted by the Soviet Union, invoked military sanctions for the first time in its five-year history and urged all member nations to help beat back the North Koreans.

As U.N. forces advanced to within eight miles of the strategic border with North Korea, international debate turned to the subject of whether U.N. forces should cross the 38th Parallel into North Korea for the second time. Communist troops were forced to retreat from the town of Chunchon during the week of March 19. U.N. Secretary General Trygve Lie informally sounded out representatives of the major member nations to work out a cease-fire before discussing political questions that had remained unanswered in the Far East.

The Chinese Nationalists had sent an unpublicized plea for help on December 29, 1949, but TrumanÆs view, as reported by Secretary of State, Dean Acheson, was that drastic action on Formosa, an island then part of China, could lead to war and was not worth the hostility an American military presence would arouse in Asia. Meanwhile Madame Chiang Kai-shek, the GeneralissimoÆs wife, made a January 8 farewell broadcast after 13 months in the United States for medical treatment.

Trade winds covered Hawaii with a warm and gentle breeze. There was some talk that the Japanese might invade the Philippines - or try to knock out the Panama Canal - but no one seriously considered the idea of a seaborne, aerial attack on Pearl. It was inconceivable that Japan would take a reckless gamble 3,900 miles from home. However, in the early morning of December 7, 1941, the Japanese did just that. The Japanese believed that a massive show of strength would frighten the American people and cause the nation to withdraw from the Pacific, but the bombs which struck Pearl Harbor had the opposite effect; they united the American nation in a common cause. On December 8, 1941, the long, sleepless night in Hawaii was over, but not the tension. Honolulu became a ghost town as its citizens dug in for what many believed was an impending invasion..

The benefits of a weekÆs rest and recuperation in Hawaii could offset a lot of the effects of fighting a war. Sailors arrived via the liberty boat from Pearl Harbor.

The first wartime atom bomb devastated Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. On August 10, the Japanese offered to surrender. On August 14, they agreed to accept the terms of the Potsdam conference. President Truman officially declared V-J Day (Victory-over-Japan Day) on August 15, 1945, setting off wild celebrations across the country. (Some consider V-J Day to be September 2, the date on which Japanese and American officials signed formal instruments of surrender.)

Living conditions on the Navajo reservation after the Allotment Act of 1887 were very poor. Food was scarce since the land that was parceled out in small homesteads to each Native American was desert, and the Navajos relied on sheep grazing for food and wool. The land was so bad that a long snowfall in January 1932 threatened the Navajos with starvation. Six Army bombers flew over the reservation on January 17, dropping over 5,000 pounds of food in 60 bundles and averting disaster. By 1934, the Indian Reorganization Act attempted to provide a long-term solution to the problem of destitution on the reservations by returning to the Native Americans ôsurplusö lands that hadnÆt yet been homesteaded, loaning money for development at low interest and encouraging a resurgence of interest in their own cultures.n as its citizens dug in for what many believed was an impending invasion..

The fighting men from World War I were due to receive bonuses for their wartime service in 1945, but during the Great Depression, when many of them were out of work with hungry and needy families, they decided to march to Washington to demand the passage of legislation which would give them their bonuses immediately. The so-called Bonus Expeditionary Force arrived in Washington from all over the country, tens of thousands strong, in the spring of 1932.

Robert Goddard, born in Worchester, Massachusetts in 1882, has been called the ôfather of modern rocketry.ö He had become interested in rockets as a teenager, and as early as 1914 had taken out a patent for rocket apparatus. In 1919 he published a book called A Method for Reaching Extreme Altitudes. But it was his practical experimentation with rockets which was his contribution to the future of rocketry.

One of the most significant campaigns for the German presidency was held in 1932. The swastika was the symbol of the Nazi party and Adolf Hitler was the Nazi partyÆs candidate. At the onset of the campaign, Hitler was the underdog, while the overwhelming favorite for re-election was Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg. HitlerÆs charismatic speeches whipped the German crowds into a frenzy with promises of a new order. Under the direction of Joseph Goebbels, millions of pieces of Nazi propaganda promised the people that the depression would come to an end and that Germany would be strong again. ôWhat makes me different from my opponent,ö Hitler said, ôis my recognition that from the mistakes of the past we can learn for the future.ö Hitler lost the election, but had become so powerful that he was made chancellor by Hindenburg on January 30, 1933.eved was an impending invasion..

Nazi Party candidate Adolf Hitler, running for leadership of the German nation, had a spellbinding orator in his first lieutenant Joseph Goebbels. As crowds gathered to hear of Nazi Party promises for the future, Goebbels said, ôWe will give the people back their bread... and the nation its honor.ö HitlerÆs opponent Paul von Hindenburg, a Prussian aristocrat running for the conservatives, had his champion in Heinrich Bruning, his chancellor.

Adolf Hitler had been appointed chancellor of Germany by President Paul von Hindenburg in January, and elections were held to establish membership in the Reichstag. When the Reichstag building was burned in February, Hitler and his supporters claimed it was a communist plot to overthrow the government. His supporters waged a vicious campaign, sometimes killing their opponents. When the elections were held, HitlerÆs Nazi Party won 44% of the vote. Despite the fact that he did not have a majority, Hitler and his forces still controlled the Reichstag. The outcome of the election was to become irrelevant, as Hitler eventually outlawed opposition parties and took total control of Germany.es of the past we can learn for the future.ö Hitler lost the election, but had become so powerful that he was made chancellor by Hindenburg on January 30, 1933.eved was an impending invasion..

By 1936, when the Olympic Games were held in Berlin, Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist Party had pulled Germany out of an economic depression. In the three years that Hitler had been chancellor, he had shifted industry over to the creation of weapons and generally had organized the people - except for liberals, socialists, Jews and Communists - into service of their country. The others, especially the Jews, would serve as scapegoats for the countryÆs ills. The first concrete evidence of what was to be HitlerÆs foreign policy occurred in 1938, with the annexation of Austria. After massing troops on the border for months, Germany moved into Austria on March 14, 1938 in a supposedly ôbloodlessö takeover, accomplished by propaganda and arrest of over 70,000 dissidents.

In honor of Tet, the Vietnamese holiday marking the new year, a seven-day truce in the Vietnam War was to begin on January 30. However, the South decided to continue limited air strikes. This partial cancellation of the truce was used by North Vietnam to justify its own pre-planned invasion of Vietnamese cities on the first day of Tet, and at midnight the Vietcong hit seven major South Vietnamese cities. By February 4, there was fighting in the streets of 33 cities, including the South Vietnam capital of Saigon itself.

The race for the Democratic nomination of 1972 featured a wide variety of participants and political views. At first, veteran Senator Edmund Muskie of Maine was considered the likely choice. But MuskieÆs campaign self-destructed as he defended himself against opposition rumors and innuendo. Hubert Humphrey, George Wallace, Shirley Chisolm, Eugene McCarthy, and John Lindsay all threw their hats in the ring.

Elvis Aron Presley (ôElvis the Pelvis,ö ôThe King of Rock and Rollö) was an American musical sensation who combined southern blues, rock æn roll, and his own special charisma. Girls loved him, boys idolized him and parents feared him; the generation gap had never seemed so wide.

Incumbent President Jimmy Carter announced his run for reelection on December 4, 1979. Earlier, Senator Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts and Governor Edmund (ôJerryö) Brown of California had each announced their candidacies. By June, assisted by U.S. concerns about Afghanistan and Iran, Carter had won the 1,666 delegates needed to assure him the renomination. Still, some Democratic leaders considered him a weak candidate and continued to search for a new, last-minute choice. Carter carried the nomination, but Democratic concerns were proved correct when Republican Ronald Reagan won the November election in a landslide.rough the streets crying, ôNasser! Nasser!

September 9, 1971 saw one of the worst prison riots in American history. More than 1,000 inmates of the Attica State Correctional Facility in New York seized 39 prison employees as hostages and took over part of the prison. The prisoners blamed their revolt on what they said was long-standing physical and psychological abuse and racial tension within Attica. After three days of extreme tension and negotiations, law officers stormed the prison and retook control in a hail of gunfire and tear gas. 32 prisoners and 11 prison employees died in the assault.epublican Ronald Reagan won the November election in a landslide.rough the streets crying, ôNasser!

After taking the reins of power from PakistanÆs discredited military after the countryÆs disastrous war with India in 1971, Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto helped restore his nationÆs pride. He became a national hero, but his increasing arrogance soon outstripped his popularity. Anti-Bhutto demonstrations became increasingly violent and threatened to erupt in all-out civil war. In 1977 the army, led by Gen. Mohammed Zia ul-Haq, staged a bloodless coup. Bhutto was placed under protective custody and was subsequently tried and executed for abuses perpetrated while in office.won the November election in a landslide.rough the streets crying, ôNasser!

On September 1, 1969, officers of the Libyan army staged a bloodless coup that toppled the government of King Idris. Immediately, a new Revolutionary Command Council announced that the country would now be called the Libyan Arab Republic. The coup leader was 27-year-old Col. Muammar al-Qaddafi, who had been a mere captain just 10 days before staging the coup. Qaddafi consolidated his power and vowed a revolution to return Libya to strict Moslem principles.

In January 1980, Abolhassan Bani Sadr was elected President in IranÆs first presidential elections. But Bani Sadr clashed with fundamentalists of the Revolutionary Council and with the clergymen who had led the overthrow of the former Shah. Dismissed by the Ayatollah Khomeini in June of 1981, Bani Sadr went into hiding. A warrant was issued for his arrest. On July 29 Bani Sadr escaped to France and was granted political asylum.

He faced no serious opposition in the primaries, and at the August national convention in Miami Republicans were unified in their support for the President.

The 1980 presidential campaign pitted two opposing ideologies. Jimmy Carter represented the old-time Democratic party, dedicated to the principle that the government was responsible for the welfare of its people. Republican Ronald Reagan, the former movie actor and California governor, held the view that removal of the government from the affairs of the people would create a prosperous and upwardly mobile society. There were, of course, many other issues, but on November 4, 1980, American voters went to the polls and chose Ronald Reagan by an electoral vote of 489 to 49.ice.won the November election in a landslide.rough the streets crying, ôNasser!

On April 30, 1980, the Iranian Embassy in London was seized by five Arab Iranians seeking increased autonomy for Aribistan, IranÆs Arab minority. The terrorists held four Britons and 16 Iranians hostage, threatening to blow up the five-story building. On May 5 the terrorists killed a hostage, and - after explosions began - London police raided the embassy. British commandos killed two of the five gunmen and released the remaining hostages unharmed.

Charles Manson moved to San Francisco in 1967 after spending over half his life in jails or reformatories. Strangely charismatic, he gathered a group of two dozen young people, many of whom were convinced Manson was Jesus Christ. In 1969, as part of his bizarre theory that racial civil war was coming, Manson and his followers stabbed to death seven people in Los Angeles, including film actress Sharon Tate. The gruesome murders shocked the public.

Jimmy Carter had invested an enormous amount of political stock in the passage of the treaties; many conservatives felt relinquishing control of the canal was yet another American retreat. Despite the stiff right-wing opposition, Carter succeeded. Under the provisions of the treaties, the Canal Zone would pass to full Panamanian control in the year 2000. ôAmerican.öbeing held hostage in their own country.ice.won the November election in a landslide.rough the streets crying, ôNasser!

The Palestine Liberation Organization used southern Lebanon as a staging ground for attacks on Israel for more than 10 years. By 1982 the PLOÆs organization in Beirut, headed by Yasir Arafat, functioned as a virtual state within a state. In mid-1982 Israel launched a brutal invasion of Lebanon intended to drive the PLO out of the country entirely. Using American-supplied jets and weapons (over the objections of the Reagan administration), the Israelis attacked and blockaded Beirut, inflicting thousands of military and civilian casualties.

In the mid-1980Æs, tiny El Salvador was seen by the Reagan administration as being on the front line in the struggle against Cuban-Soviet expansionism. The country was gripped by civil strife between a U.S.-backed military regime and leftist guerrillas. In 1984 presidential elections, moderate Jose Napoleon Duarte was elected. Shortly thereafter he agreed to meet with leftist rebel leaders.

On September 22, 1980, Iraq launched a 50,000-man invasion against neighboring Iran. The eight-year war which followed, prompted by territorial disputes and desires for regional prestige, was watched closely by a world concerned about oil supplies and potentially inflammatory alliances. At first expected to be a short war, the conflict dragged on; casualties were extremely high due to the use of chemical warfare and IranÆs ôhuman waveö attacks.

On May 10, 1981, socialist Francois Mitterrand was elected president of France, ending the 23-year-reign of center-right forces. His upset victory over President Valery Giscard dÆEstaing was attributed to the nationÆs economic woes and to a general antipathy to GiscardÆs personal and governmental style.

The 1984 Democratic presidential race featured many prominent Democrats, among them Senator Gary Hart (Colorado), former Vice President Walter Mondale (Minnesota), and the former astronaut Senator John Glenn (Ohio). The last candidate to jump into the fray was the Reverend Jesse Jackson, who became the first black to run since Shirley Chisolm in 1972. Mondale and Hart traded primary victories, but in the end Mondale carried the bigger states, including New York, Texas, and Illinois, and won the nomination.

The renomination of Ronald Reagan as the 1984 Republican presidential candidate had long been a foregone conclusion by the time the partyÆs convention was held, from August 20 to August 23, in Dallas, Texas. The outcome was so inevitable that party strategists were concerned about whether they could generate much interest in the convention, the 33rd in party history. Their concern proved unnecessary: Reagan routed Democrat Walter Mondale in the November elections.s, and Illinois, and won the nomination.

The Falkland Islands, located in the south Atlantic Ocean about 250 miles off the coast of Argentina, became the center of an international crisis in 1982. Exercising what it believed to be its territorial rights over the islands, which it called the Malvinas, Argentina landed troops and overran the tiny British-controlled islands on April 2. The reaction of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was immediate: a task force put to sea from Portsmouth. Major fighting began on May 1; both sides lost ships, and at times the land combat was hand-to-hand.

GeterÆs position as an engineer earning $24,000 a year was the first of many odd circumstances that prompted national scrutiny of his case. As journalists uncovered examples of dubious police procedures and weak legal work on GeterÆs behalf, public pressure for a retrial mounted.

Baby Jane Doe, as she was known to the public, was born on October 11, 1983, with a protruding spinal cord, excess fluid on the brain and an abnormally small head. The infantÆs parents decided against surgery to increase her life expectancy: even with the operation, their child would be permanently paralyzed, severely retarded and in pain. Their decision aroused a controversy when it became public through a news leak; the U.S. government joined those who wanted enforced medical intervention. On November 16, a federal judge dismissed a Justice Department suit demanding release of medical records on the child, effectively returning the decision to the parents.1990s.er!öreached an agreement on May 9th.tunity.l referred when he said, ôNever in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.öhe Germans living in Central Europe, so Hitler could obtain more space and raw materials for Germany.

In 1981, doctors began to encounter young, generally healthy patients, especially homosexual men, suffering from similar mysterious ailments. Further research indicated an underlying cause, which was named Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, or AIDS: a viral disease, spread by transfer of bodily fluids, which caused the breakdown of the bodyÆs immune system. The prognosis was almost invariably death for the victim. AIDS was found to be spread primarily by sexual contact or by blood transfusions.

Agent Orange was a toxic chemical used by U.S. military forces to defoliate Asian jungles during the Vietnam War. By 1978, many Vietnam veterans were filing disability claims for illnesses they believed resulted from exposure to Agent Orange, including liver cancer, nerve damage, and birth defects. Although studies of the connection were inconclusive, 16,000 veterans filed a class-action suit in 1984 against various manufacturers of Agent Orange. The manufacturers denied liability, but settled out of court by creating a $180 million fund to aid the victims of Agent Orange. 12 million people worldwide, including about 230,000 in the United States. parents.1990s.er!öreached an agreement on May 9th.tunity.l referred when he said, ôNever in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.öhe Germans living in Central Europe, so Hitler could obtain more space and raw materials for Germany.

On November 13, 1986, President Ronald Reagan was forced by press reports to admit that his aides had secretly supplied arms and spare parts to Iran as a bribe to free three American hostages. The case took a stranger twist when it was discovered that the White House had secretly and illegally funnelled profits from the arms sales to the Contras, U.S.-backed rebels in Nicaragua.

Atwater was talking about the race for president, which had cost the 13 announced candidates more than $55 million of the total $70 million they had raised by the end of 1987. The year saw several campaigns dissolve in the wake of scandals and produced more than 25 debates and forums, mostly among Democrats. George Bush consistently topped his five Republican opponents in the national polls, but for the Democrats, the field was far more competitive. Michael Dukakis, Governor of Massachusetts, was the eventual Democratic nominee. George Bush became the Republican nominee and was elected president in the general elections.

Calling himself a ônew generationö Democrat, former Colorado Senator Gary Hart announced his candidacy for the Presidential nomination on April 13, 1987. Against a backdrop of the Rocky Mountains, Hart invoked the memories of Franklin Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy and said the upcoming 1988 election was ônot a question of whether our country should move left or right. ItÆs an issue of recapturing our basic principles, beliefs and values.ö art started the campaign with a comfortable lead against his Democratic opponents in the polls. On May 3, the Hart campaign was severely damaged when the Miami Herald reported that Hart had spent the night in his Capitol Hill townhouse with a 29-year-old actress from Miami, Donna Earle Rice.

In 1984, the Baptist minister and former assistant to Martin Luther King Jr. became the first black man to run for the Democratic nomination, finishing third after Walter Mondale and Gary Hart. In JacksonÆs 1988 announcement, he outlined a 10-point ôworkerÆs bill of rightsö as part of his platform, addressing blue-collar concerns about plant closings and foreign labor competition. JacksonÆs so-called Rainbow Coalition, founded after his 1984 run, stressed multiracial involvement and emphasized issues of justice and peace.

In 1987, Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell announced his retirement. President Ronald Reagan nominated Judge Robert Bork to replace him, causing a storm of protests. Bork was viewed by liberals as a conservative extremist, and civil rights activists felt he was hostile to their cause. Bork had also participated in the ôSaturday Night Massacreö firings of the prosecutors in the Watergate scandal in 1973, another point against him to many people. His nomination was rejected by a 58-42 vote of the Senate on October 23, 1987. Reagan then nominated Douglas Ginsburg. Though a believer in ôjudicial restraint,ö a position favored by conservatives, Ginsburg admitted to having tried marijuana in college, and his nomination was withdrawn.

Beside the breaking Wedtech scandal, and the ongoing Iran-Contra affair, former Deputy Chief of Staff Michael Deaver was indicted on five counts of perjury concerning his lobbying activities after leaving government. Deaver had been investigated for violations of the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, which prohibits former high-ranking officials from lobbying their old agencies for a year after leaving office.

The Iran-Contra scandal was the focus of national attention in 1987. Three separate investigations were conducted in 1987 to find out what President Ronald Reagan knew about the covert arms sales to Iran, and about the profits being illegally given to right-wing Nicaraguan rebels. President ReaganÆs chief of staff, Donald Regan, was forced to resign, and the president himself eventually admitted that his administration had swapped arms for hostages and said that it was a mistake. Congressional hearings followed. Lt. Col. Oliver North, a military aide who ran the operation out of the White House, testified defiantly about his own illegal activities, and public opinion seemed to be split on whether he was hero or villain. Former National Security Advisor Robert McFarlane, implicated in the scandal, attempted suicide on February 2, 1987.

A total of 17 foreign hostages were known to be held captive in Lebanon at the beginning of 1987. Several Arab revolutionary and Muslim fundamentalist groups claimed responsibility for the abductions. Six of the hostages were American, and the U.S. policy was to refuse to deal with terrorists. But all the governments involved -- Israeli, German, French and U.S. -- conducted quiet negotiations to attempt to secure the release of their nationals. Some French and German captives were released in 1987, but most of the hostages remained in captivity at yearÆs end.e operation out of the White House, testified defiantly about his own illegal activities, and public opinion seemed to be split on whether he was hero or villain.

Stark was on patrol in the Persian Gulf on May 17, 1987, when it was struck by two Exocet missiles fired from an Iraqi warplane. Most of the 37 sailors killed aboard the Stark were asleep in their bunks at the time. Improper defense procedures on the bridge of the ship were determined to be partly at fault, and officers were relieved of their duties. The American presence in the Gulf was increased following the incident. The U.S. red-flagged Kuwaiti merchant tankers and offered naval escort to these frequent targets of Iranian attack. Two oil tankers, the Bridgeton and the Sea Isle City, were hit by missiles or mines, culminating in an American retaliatory attack on two off-shore oil platforms that the Navy claimed were an Iranian gunboat base.

The U.S. Marine Corps announced on January 10, 1987, that it had taken custody of an officer on charges of espionage. The officer, Sgt. Clayton Lonetree, had against strict military rules had an affair with a Russian translator who worked at the U.S. Embassy. Thereafter, Lonetree allowed KGB agents into the embassy after hours, provided classified documents and disclosed the identities of U.S. intelligence personnel.

Beginning with a speech on January 27, 1987, Soviet Secretary General Mikhail Gorbachev offered a new policy of ôglasnost,ö or openness, in Soviet society. Dissidents were released from prisons and labor camps. Long-suppressed literature, such as PasternakÆs ôDoctor Zhivago,ö was published. There was a thaw in arms negotiations with plans floated for elimination of short and medium-range weapons in Europe. Gorbachev submitted a plan for the ôradical reorganization of economic management.ö Incentives began to be introduced into wage scales. Soviet citizens were, for instance, allowed to have checking accounts for the first time. Former dictator Joseph Stalin was assailed for abuse of power, and Gorbachev stressed that a ôtruthful analysisö of history would help solve the problems of perestroika, his plan for economic restructuring. On December 8 - 10, 1987, Gorbachev visited the United States for a fruitful summit, and was warmly greeted by the American people.eas.

With cries of ôLong live democracy!öand ôLong live freedom!ö, thousands of Chinese college students converged in BeijingÆs Tiananmen Square in anti-government protests on January 1, 1987. The protests were held in defiance of police warnings and marked the first time that public demonstrations were staged in China since the end of the Cultural Revolution in 1976. An estimated 2,000 people took part. During the first week of January, similar pro-democracy rallies would follow on campuses in 12 different Chinese cities. One in Shanghai attracted an estimated 50,000 protesters. Deng Xiaoping, the Chinese leader, responded to the protests by ousting several prominent intellectuals whom he indirectly accused of inciting the unrest. On January 2, in a document called Directive No. 1, he wrote, ôWhen necessary, we must deal severely with those who defy orders.ö Two years later, increasing student demonstrations in Tiananmen Square were crushed by the military, killing several hundred protesters.ted that the Reagan administrationÆs mistakes were ômistakes in judgement and nothing more.ö A special prosecutor was appointed, and investigations continued into the 1990s.nominee.

On January 27, 1987, rebels loyal to deposed President Ferdinand Marcos staged a coup attempt in the Philippines, just days before the nation was due to vote on a constitution which would legalize new President Corazon AquinoÆs government. Rebel soldiers managed to hold a broadcasting complex in a Manila suburb for two days, but a government power cutoff kept them from using the buildingÆs broadcast facilities. On January 28, the U.S. State Department denied Ferdinand Marcos permission to leave Hawaii, where he had lived since he fled the Philippines after an uprising in February, 1986. The State Department learned that Marcos had chartered a Boeing 707 jetliner to carry him back to the Philippines and warned him that he would be ôphysically prevented from going aboard any planeö which would take him back to his former country. After it became clear that Marcos would not return to the Philippines, the insurgents agreed to end their occupation of the broadcasting complex on January 29.

Pope John Paul II began a politically sensitive South American trip in Montevideo, Uruguay on March 31, 1987. The two-week visit to Uruguay, Chile, and Argentina originally was planned to commemorate a successful Vatican mediation of a 1978 land-rights dispute between Chile and Argentina. Instead, it turned out to be mostly a forum on the role of the Catholic church in government and a test of the popeÆs stand on the military rule of ChileÆs President Augusto Pinochet. President Pinochet welcomed the pope to Santiago, Chile on April 1, saying that the Chilean government was facing a takeover by ôthe most extreme, materialistic and atheistic ideology ever known to man.ö Although the Pope declined PinochetÆs request to say a Mass for him, the Pope did pray with the president and his wife in their palace chapel. Later, the president and the pope held a private conference in which it was assumed by many political analysts that the pope urged Pinochet to hold open elections in 1988 and improve human rights.ote of confidence in her presidency on February 2, when Filipino voters overwhelmingly approved the draft constitution legalizing her government. into the 1990s.nominee.

On August 4, 1987, President Ronald Reagan announced a plan to establish peace in Central America and put an end to the six-year war in Nicaragua. The plan, which Reagan collaborated on with Speaker of the House Jim Wright, called for an immediate cease-fire between NicaraguaÆs Sandinista government and the contra rebels fighting it. The United States offered to suspend military aid to the contras if the Sandinistas would agree to stop accepting military aid from the Soviet Union and Cuba. The plan proposed a withdrawal of all foreign troops from the region and demanded amnesty for the contras. If Nicaragua failed to implement the changes by September 30, then the U.S. would be free to resume its aid to the rebels. The Reagan-Wright proposal was overshadowed in the following days by another peace plan set forth at a Central American summit. It called for open dialogue between the governments and ôunarmed internal political opposition groups.ö It also called for the elimination of censorship, and demanded freedom of the press, freedom to hold rallies and demonstrations, and free elections at regular intervals under international observations.

In his 1987 State of the Union address, President Ronald Reagan called on the nation to join him in a battle against drug addiction. He noted that drugs were a particular problem with American children and teenagers. Although high-school alcohol and marijuana use seemed to be on the decline throughout the 1980Æs, cocaine use among teenagers remained relatively steady. In 1987, first lady Nancy Reagan continued her personal crusade to curb drug use among children. Mrs. Reagan toured U.S. schools throughout the year urging students to form ôJust Say Noö clubs.

On January 16, 1987, the Anti-Infective Drugs Advisory Committee, an outside panel to the Food and Drug Administration, recommended that the FDA approve a drug called azidothymidine, or AZT, as the first commercially available treatment for AIDS. The panel voted 10-1 to recommend the licensing of the drug. At the urging of AIDS activists and many physicians, the FDA went beyond the panelÆs recommended guidelines and on March 10, announced that it would also make other experimental AIDS drugs available to private doctors who could then prescribe them to severely ill AIDS patients. This method, called ôfast-tracking,ö would allow doctors to test the effectiveness of drugs before long clinical trails were completed and thereby reduce the normal waiting period for drug testing by two to three years.

On April 5, 1987, President Ronald Reagan and Prime Minister Brian Mulroney of Canada met for their annual summit in Ottawa, Canada. Acid rain dominated the discussions. Acid rain was a special type of air pollution, mostly sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, emitted by coal-fired power stations and vehicle exhausts. Canadian officials blamed acid rain created in America for the destruction of thousands of lakes and forests in Quebec and Ontario and for the serious damages done to the fishing, tourist, and maple syrup industries. Reagan and Mulroney reached no agreement on the issue at the summit. On September 17, 1987, a controversial report issued by the Reagan Administration asserted that acid rain posed little threat of immediate damage to the environment.rug testing by two to three years.

On March 22, 1987, a barge containing 3,100 tons of industrial waste was hauled out of a New York harbor to begin a 162-day, 6,000-mile odyssey in search of a dumping ground. The barge, named the Mobro, became a symbol of the nationÆs increasing problems with waste disposal. It generated Congressional hearings, heated public debates, and extensive media coverage. The Mobro was caught when the Long Island town of Islip, New York voted to bar all industrial waste from its landfill dump in 1986, thus leaving the area with a shortage of disposal sites. An attempt to dump the garbage in North Carolina was blocked by a court order. In the following months, the Mobro was blocked at ports in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, and Florida, as well as Mexico, Belize and the Bahamas. On May 12, New York State agreed to increase IslipÆs landfill capacity by 900,000 tons, thus clearing the way for the MobroÆs return.than half the number of actual victims.

On March 31, 1987, in New Jersey Superior Court, a judge upheld a surrogate mother agreement and awarded custody of one-year-old Melissa Stern, known during the trial as ôBaby M,ö to her father William Stern and his wife Elizabeth. The judge also revoked all parental rights from the childÆs biological mother, Mary Beth Whitehead, a New Jersey housewife and mother of two. The case marked the first legal test of a surrogate mother contract in the United States. Whitehead had agreed to be artificially inseminated by William Stern and bear his child, then relinquish all rights to the child in return for $10,000. But after the childÆs birth, she refused to give it up. The case attracted worldwide media attention and sparked heated debate on the ethics and legality of surrogacy.

The multi-million dollar world of television evangelism was seriously damaged by scandal and in-fighting in 1987, with many Christian networks reporting a decline in viewers and donations by the yearÆs end. The troubles began on January 4, 1987, when Oral Roberts, a Pentecostal preacher, told his television audience that unless he received $4.5 million dollars by April 1, God would call him ôhome.ö The odd, blackmail-like tactic upset many observers. Another scandal occurred on March 19, when the Reverend Jim Bakker admitted to having an extramarital affair in 1980. The Pentecostal minister and his wife, Tammy Faye Bakker, were heads of the popular Praise the Lord (PTL) Christian television network. Investigations also revealed serious financial improprieties in the ministry. Jim Bakker resigned after making his public confession of the affair, and asked Moral Majority spokesman Rev. Jerry Falwell to assume temporary control. Bakker was later defrocked by the Assemblies of God after further charges of adultery and homosexual activity. On November 3, 1987, Falwell also resigned his post as president of the Moral Majority, the right-wing organization he founded in 1979 to promote fundamentalist Christian influence on politics. FalwellÆs own television ministry based in Lynchburg, Virginia suffered a $5.4 million decline in contributions in the wake of the yearÆs televangelist scandals.

On February 16, 1987, the trial of accused Nazi death camp guard John Demjanjuk opened in Jerusalem, Israel. Demjanjuk, a retired auto worker from Cleveland, Ohio, denied the accusations against him, claiming the prosecutionÆs main piece of evidence, a Nazi SS photo identity card made out to Ivan Demjanjuk, was a fake. During the trial, five survivors of the Treblinka concentration camp immediately fingered Demjanjuk as the brutal prison guard they called ôIvan the Terrible.ö On April 20, 1987, Estonian-born Karl Linnas was deported back to his homeland by the United States after being sentenced to death in absentia by the supreme court of the Estonian Republic for heading a local concentration camp during World War II.

On February 10, 1987, twelve white teenagers were indicted on charges in connection with an attack in Howard Beach, New York that left a 23-year-old black man dead. The man, Michael Griffith, was one of two black men whose car had broken down in the mostly-white section of Queens. While being chased by a group of white teenagers wielding baseball bats and tree limbs, Michael Griffith ran to his death in front of an oncoming car. The incident turned Howard Beach, a white working-class neighborhood, into a national symbol of racial intolerance and violence. 12 white youths were charged in the case. 11 eventually were convicted of a variety of offenses including manslaughter, assault, conspiracy and riot.to death in absentia by the supreme court of the Estonian Republic for heading a local concentration camp during World War II.

Federal investigations in 1987 revealed massive corruption on Wall Street as Ivan Boesky, a former stock trader, began cooperating with government officials who were attempting to uncover insider trading scandals. In November of 1986, Boesky confessed to insider trading, the illegal and highly profitable exchange of inside information regarding a corporate takeover before the takeover bid has been publicly announced. Boesky was charged with $100 million in fines and damages and was barred from stock trading for life. He agreed to work with law enforcement officials in exchange for a lenient sentence. Top Wall Street investment bankers were arrested and charged with insider trading.

On October 16, 1987, waves of orders from nervous investors eager to sell their shares resulted in a Dow Jones Industrial Average loss of 108.35 points. It was the first time that the Dow had ever lost more than 100 points in a single session. Economic analysts attributed the marketÆs decline to the dollarÆs weakness, trade imbalances, a rise in interests rates, and the federal government deficit. Another factor was the practice of ôprogram trading,ö a process in which shares of stocks were traded automatically by computer when prices reached certain pre-programmed levels. On October 16, 1987, millions of shares of various stocks were traded simultaneously by computer. On October 19, 1987 the U.S. stock market nearly collapsed. The Dow Jones industrial average plunged 508.32 points to 1738.74.

Vincent van GoghÆs Sunflowers, painted in 1889, one year before his suicide, was sold for a phenomenal $39.9 million at ChristieÆs Auction House in London on March 30, 1987. It was the highest auction price ever paid for a work of art. The demand for the painting was so high, experts speculated, because it was the last in van GoghÆs series of seven paintings of sunflowers ever to be put up for purchase. Van Gogh, who only sold a few works during his lifetime, said of the painting: ôIt has the effect of a piece of cloth with satin and gold embroidery.ö One painting conservation expert, however, felt that the painting hadnÆt aged well and had ôbecome very dingy looking.ö Dingy or not, the paintingÆs record price was broken later the same year, when van GoghÆs Irises sold for $53.9 million on November 11, at SothebyÆs in New York.rst since World War I, and far surpassed the 12.82 percent drop which signalled the beginning of the Great Depression on October 28, 1929.

OLIVER STONE won his second Oscar at the Academy Awards Ceremony on March 30, 1987. Stone took the prize for directing Platoon, a film based on his own experiences in the Vietnam War. It had taken Stone ten years to get financing for the script, and when he did find a producer, he was denied the cooperation of the U.S. Army because of the screenplayÆs negative tone. Stone put his actors through rigorous combat training, which may have been why many veterans called Platoon the first ôrealisticö depiction of the Vietnam War.

Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis won the Democratic presidential nomination in 1988, while Republican Vice President George Bush won his partyÆs nomination. Dukakis selected Texas Senator Lloyd Bentsen as his running mate. The Massachusetts - Texas ticket was reminiscent of the John Kennedy - Lyndon Johnson Democratic pairing of 1960. Bush chose Indiana Senator Dan Quayle to be his running mate. Polls showed a large lead for the Democrats immediately after the conventions, but Bush battled back with a campaign that the press criticized as ônegative.ö Dukakis later admitted that his failure to respond to the Bush attacks probably cost him the election.

Democrat Michael Dukakis tried to blame Republican George Bush for having a role in the IranûContra ôarms-for-hostagesö scandal, and for his alleged ties to Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega. Bush countered by insisting that Dukakis was soft on defense issues and questioning his veto of a state bill that required schoolchildren to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

On February 4, 1988, federal grand juries in Florida indicted Panamanian General Manuel Noriega, charging him with involvement in international drug trafficking. The indictments provoked a strong reaction in the United States because of NoriegaÆs ties to the Defense Department, the CIA, and the Drug Enforcement Agency. The United States had been a long-time supporter of NoreigaÆs regime. Noriega denied the charges and accused the U.S. of seeking to de-stabilize his government. In Panama, the scandal led to general strikes against NoriegaÆs rule. The U.S. offered to drop the indictments if Noriega would step down. Noriega declined the offer.

In November, the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) accepted United Nations resolutions that implicitly recognized Israel. It was a major policy shift. Nevertheless, the U.S. denied PLO leader Yasir Arafat permission to travel to New York to address the U.N. So the U.N. delegates went to Geneva to hear Arafat. Arafat told the assembly he condemned terrorism and called for an international peace conference. He also affirmed ôthe right of all parties concerned in the Middle East conflict to exist in peace and security, including the state of Palestine, Israel and their neighbors.ö Israel called the speech ôdouble talk,ö but the U.S. said the PLO had met conditions to allow U.S. diplomats to hold talks with the PLO.h officials by SwaggartÆs longtime evangelical rival, Marvin Gorman.

In 1988, Cesar Chavez, president of the United Farm Workers of American, went on a hunger strike to draw attention to a 4ûyear boycott of California table grapes. The boycott had been called to protest the use of pesticides which the union said were endangering the health of agricultural workers. It was ChavezÆs third and longest fast in his 20 years as a union organizer.

In October 1988, three California gray whales became trapped under the Arctic ice near Barrow Alaska. Winter ice had closed usual migration routes early, leaving the whales stranded four miles from open water with only a small breathing hole for air. Local volunteers, most of them whale hunters, tried to cut a chain of breathing holes for the whales to follow to freedom. As their attempts continued, journalists and cameramen from around the world began arriving at the remote outpost to cover the story. Eventually a Soviet icebreaker arrived to open a lane through the thick ice.

A simple and effective ôabortion pillö became the center of international controversy in 1988. The pill, called RUû486, was said to be safer than most surgical abortions and easier to provide, especially in Third World countries. But French manufacturer Roussel Uclaf decided to withdraw the drug after antiûabortion groups in France and abroad threatened a boycott of Roussel and its German parent, Hoechst AG.

In 1988, Honduran officials arrested Juan Ramon Matta, a reputed drug trafficker with alleged ties to ColumbiaÆs Medellin drug cartel. Matta, a prime suspect in the 1986 murder of a U.S. drug enforcement official, was quickly extradited to the United States. Afterwards riots broke out in Tegucigalpa, Honduras to protest MattaÆs extradition. Two people died and two U.S. Embassy buildings were set on fire.

The Polish Communist Party, led by Wojciech Jaruzelski, legalized Solidarity, the Polish labor union led by Lech Walesa, on January 18, 1989. Jaruzelski, who had outlawed Solidarity in 1981, reversed course so as to reinvigorate the deteriorating Polish economy. Free elections held on June 4th, the first in the Warsaw Pact in 40 years, humiliated the Communist Party. By August 17th, Jaruzelski accepted WalesaÆs proposal for a Solidarity-led government.

For most of the 1980s Hungary led Eastern Europe in economic liberalization. Reforms began in May 1988, when party boss Janos Kadar was ousted from power and replaced by Karoly Grosz. In January 1989, the Hungarian Parliament legalized political opposition. Anti-Communist organizations and media sprang up almost immediately. In October, Grosz was forced out and the Communist Party dissolved itself, changing its name to the Hungarian Socialist Party. On October 23, 1989, the 33rd anniversary of the 1956 uprising, acting president Matyas Szuros declared Hungary a free, independent, and democratic republic.therö BILLY CARTER died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 51.

Thousands of East Germans were fleeing through Hungary and other open Eastern Bloc countries, and violent tactics could not stop the exodus or the massive demonstrations taking place. When Communist Party leader Erich Honecker resigned, Egon Krenz succeeded him and ordered police to halt violent tactics against protesters. On November 9th, 500,000 people in East Berlin demonstrated for democracy - and Krenz surprised everyone by opening the gates to the Berlin Wall. Border guards abandoned all efforts to check credentials. That night and the next day, hundreds of thousands of East Germans came over to see what the West was like. At the notorious Brandenburg Gate, East Germans embraced West Germans for the first time in 28 years. The wall was down - literally and figuratively.

Czechoslovakia took its first steps toward democracy in 1989. In January, a Prague rally was broken up by police using tear gas and dogs. The ensuing protests led to the arrest, among many others, of Vaclav Havel, playwright and political dissident. By November, the pro-democracy movement had formed an opposition group, Civic Forum, which demanded the resignation of the Communist party leadership and free elections. On November 17, a general strike shut down the country. On November 28, parliament abolished the Communist monopoly and announced free elections.

After 24 years of Nicolae CeausescuÆs dictatorship, Romanians were hungry for change. On December 15, 1989, a protest in Tiamisoara became a full-scale riot. On December 21, while speaking before thousands at what was supposed to be a pro-government noontime rally, Ceausescu himself was drowned out by shouts of ôDown with Ceausescu!ö Army troops joined the protesters. Ceausescu and his wife Elena fled. The National Salvation Front assumed control. On December 23, Ceausescu and Elena were captured and, on Christmas Day, executed. Their bodies, lying in pools of blood, were shown on national television.

The most celebrated Gorbachev reform of 1989 was allowing openly-contested parliamentary elections. For the first time, voters could choose between candidates in secret balloting. In the actual voting on March 26, officially-backed leaders were dramatically defeated. Boris Yeltsin was elected with 89% of the vote. Although these elections were a step forward for Russian democracy, the reduction of centralized control allowed long-suppressed ethnic divisions to surface. Member states soon began to find themselves on a collision course with the U.S.S.R.

There was a breath of liberalization in the air in China as 1989 began. Leader Deng Xiaoping hoped to move ChinaÆs economy toward free-market policies. And economic liberties brought new hopes, then new demands, for political freedom. On April 15, students began to demonstrate in Tiananmen Square and were soon joined by workers, teachers and others. The demonstrations grew in size and boldness until, on May 20, Premier Li Peng declared martial law. On June 4, tanks rolled in and killed at least 1,000 demonstrators as television carried images of the slaughter around the world.

In March of 1989, as Chinese students protested in Tiananmen Square, Tibetans began to demonstrate against the brutality of the Chinese regime. The Dalai Lama, TibetÆs leader, left Tibet when China invaded in 1950. He later returned to negotiate for self-government, but the repression increased and, after rioting in 1959, the Dalai Lama and 100,000 others fled to India. China tightened its control during the Cultural Revolution. Large organized protests began again in 1987.

Panamanian leader Manuel Noriega and the United States had once enjoyed a solid political relationship. The Reagan administration relied on Noriega for help in combating the Nicaraguan Sandinista government. But criticism of NoriegaÆs dealings with Colombian drug kingpins, and reports of human rights abuses in Panama, eventually soured his relations with the U.S. In May 1989, Noriega blatantly rigged the Panamanian presidential elections, and attacked opposition leaders. When a Panamanian military coup failed, U.S. President Bush ordered an American armed forces invasion, which took place on December 20. Noriega took refuge at a Vatican diplomatic mission, where he finally surrendered and was brought to the U.S. to be put on trial.ChinaÆs isolationist past.st time in 28 years.

Sixteen years after the 1973 coup that put General Augusto Pinochet in power, the Chilean people succeeded in forcing the military dictator to revoke the ban on Marxist parties and to agree to elections. Pinochet tried to obstruct democracy at every turn but was foiled by widespread public protest. Patricio Aylwin, long-time political activist, led the campaign against Pinochet with an alliance of Christian Democrats, Socialists and various smaller parties. Pre-election polls in 1989 correctly predicted his victory on December 14th, when he became ChileÆs new president with 55.2% of the vote.

One of the greatest literary controversies in recent times began when the novel The Satanic Verses, written by Indian-born British citizen Salman Rushdie, was declared blasphemous by IranÆs Ayatollah Khomeini. Khomeini pronounced a death sentence upon the author, offering a $2.6 million reward for any Iranian who murdered Rushdie, while a non-Iranian would receive $1 million for the deed. Rushdie went into hiding, under tight security. Ironically, the uproar helped the book become an international success, selling more than a million copies.came ChileÆs new president with 55.2% of the vote.

At the beginning of 1989, at least 15 citizens of Western nations were being held hostage in Lebanon by various warring factions. On July 20, 1989, Israeli commandos captured Sheik Abdel Kareem Obeid, an important figure in the militant Shiite group Hizballah (Party of God), and offered to free him in exchange for the release of 3 Israeli captives. The Hizballah rejected the offer with the warning an American spy would be executed if Obeid was not released. The American was Marine Lt. Col. William R. Higgins, who was one of the Lebanese hostages. Shortly after the deadline set by Lebanese kidnappers passed, videotape was delivered to news agencies showing a man who appeared to be Col. Higgins dangling lifeless from a rope. Outrage and revulsion followed HigginsÆ execution. Newly-elected Iranian president Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani stated he was willing to help obtain freedom for Western hostages.

In 1989, Colombia intensified its battles against illegal drug cartels, who responded with a wave of violence: Bombs were set off in cities, 12 judges were gunned down in one day, the Medellin police chief was murdered. A final piece of mayhem occurred on August 18 when Senator Luis Carlos Galan, a presidential candidate widely expected to win the next election, was sprayed with gunfire and killed at a campaign rally. It was the last straw for the Colombian government. Curfews were imposed, 11,000 people were arrested, and an extradition treaty with the U.S. was revived. The cartel retaliated with further violence. As pressure grew from the United States to control the cartels, Colombian President Virgilio Barco Vargas declared that only reduced demand for cocaine in the U.S. would curtail the drug cartelsÆ power.

AIDS, a fatal disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, was at first perceived in America as a gay manÆs disease. By 1989 that had changed. Although the disease was still associated with homosexuality, the proportion of AIDS cases spread through heterosexual intercourse, particularly among intravenous drug users and their partners, had increased faster than among any other category. Minority groups in inner cities were disproportionately savaged by the disease. Worldwide, over 237,000 cases of AIDS had been reported to the World Health Organization by 1990, a figure which was considered a gross underestimate.

On October 17th at 5:04 p.m., as an estimated 60 million television viewers tuned in to watch the pre-game show for the third game of the World Series between the San Francisco Giants and the Oakland AÆs, California experienced a massive earthquake. Measuring 7.1 on the Richter scale, the quake was the strongest to hit California since the great 8.3 earthquake of 1906, which had killed 2,500 people. The devastation from the 1989 quake included the collapse of elevated freeways and multiple fires; the toll included 67 deaths and an estimated seven billion dollars in damages., a figure which was considered a gross underestimate.

The brutal poaching of rhinoceroses and elephants for their tusks captured worldwide attention in 1989. In an effort to deter poachers, the African country of Zimbabwe announced plans to de-horn the dwindling population of white rhinos, making them less attractive to poachers. In Namibia, officials did the same with the black rhinos. Other countries took drastic measures as well; the Kenyan government went so far as to publicly burn $3 million worth of elephant ivory tusks confiscated from poachers.oll included 67 deaths and an estimated seven billion dollars in damages., a figure which was considered a gross underestimate.

On March 24, 1989, the Exxon Valdez, a supertanker, hit a reef in AlaskaÆs Prince William Sound and spilled nearly 11 million gallons of oil. Neither Exxon nor Alaska was prepared for such a catastrophe. Nearly 1,100 miles of coastline was contaminated. Despite a massive cleanup effort, more than 134,000 barrels of oil were left in the Alaskan ecosystem. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the spill took a greater toll on wildlife than any other industrial accident in recorded history.

On March 9, the U.S. Senate voted not to confirm former Texas Senator John Tower as Secretary of Defense, due to allegations of sexual misconduct, heavy drinking, and improprieties while a consultant to defense contractors. On May 31, Speaker of the House James C. Wright announced his resignation, after an investigation by the House Ethics Committee revealed financial misconduct. On August 25, Massachusetts Representative Barney Frank admitted hiring a male prostitute as a personal aide who, unbeknownst to Frank, had operated a prostitution ring out of the congressmanÆs Washington apartment. Frank said that he had simply made a poor judgement in trying to rehabilitate the thrice-convicted lawbreaker: ôThinking I was going to be Henry Higgins and trying to turn him in to Pygmalion was the biggest mistake IÆve made,ö he said.

In Louisiana, David Duke, a former Grand Wizard of the white-supremacist group the Klu Klux Klan, was elected to the state assembly on February 18, 1989. On April 19, a 28-year old woman jogging in New York CityÆs Central Park was raped and nearly murdered, allegedly by a gang of African-American and Hispanic youths. The defendantsÆ confessions led to their conviction, amid charges and countercharges of racism across the city. On August 23, a 16-year old African-American, Yusef K. Hawkins, was attacked by a mob of white youths in the Bensonhurst neighborhood of Brooklyn.

A sharply divided Supreme Court on July 3 upheld abortion rights limitations and threatened to dismantle Roe vs. Wade, the landmark ruling establishing a constitutionally protected right to abortion. The 5-4 decision Webster vs. Reproductive Health Service permitted state legislatures to limit access to abortion. On January 23, the Court by a 6-3 vote struck down a Richmond, Virginia ordinance guaranteeing 30% of the cityÆs construction contracts to minority-owned firms.

On June 21, 1989, the Supreme Court ruled that the act of burning an American flag as a peaceful political protest was a constitutionally protected form of free speech. The decision invalidated a federal anti-flag burning statute and similar laws in 48 individual states. It also set off an emotional political brouhaha. President George Bush called for a constitutional amendment outlawing desecration of the flag.

From start to finish, 1989 was a difficult year for labor unions in the United States. With a Supreme Court decision protecting non-striking employees, Eastern Airlines filing for bankruptcy six days after thousands of employees went out on strike, heavily compromised strikes against telephone companies and against Pittston Coal in Appalachia, and the rejection of organized labor in a Nissan factory in Tennessee, unions were fighting just to hold their ground.

Bartlett Giamatti announced that Pete Rose, manager of the Cincinnati Reds, would receive a lifeÆs suspension from baseball. The decision followed six-months of investigations into allegations that Rose had gambled on baseball games, including making bets on his own team, from 1985 to 1987.

Like every decade, the 1980s had its share of distinctive new angles and trends. ôYuppieö - an acronym for Young Urban Professionals - became part of the worldÆs vernacular. ôNightlineö became an influential news program, and Oprah Winfrey, Phil Donahue, and Geraldo Rivera popularized sensationalist talk shows. The all-music network MTV debuted, as did Miami Vice, The Cosby Show, and thirtysomething. Michael Jackson ômoonwalkedö to superstardom.

The traditional definition of a family ù two parents living with their children ù fit only one in four American households by the end of the 1980s. More than one in ten families were headed by a single woman, and two-thirds of all mothers worked outside the home. Every year, over one million children saw their parents divorced. Half of the countryÆs African American children lived in households headed by their mothers. Of these children, almost 70% lived in poverty.

Personal computers and fax machines allowed information to be sent anywhere, instantly, 24 hours a day. Cellular phones, portable phones, beepers, voice mail and answering machines insured the possibility of contacting someone who wanted to be contacted. Audio tapes and CDs replaced LP records and with the Sony Walkman, music became conveniently portable. Microwave ovens reduced cooking time, cable TV flooded the home with news, sports and music, and video cassette recorders (VCRs) allowed movies to be watched at home, any time, on tape. Perhaps most important, automatic teller machines (ATMs) provided the cash to pay for everything.d soaring popularity as did low-fat food, bottled water, wine coolers, and Ben & JerryÆs ice cream.: ôThinking I was going to be Henry Higgins and trying to turn him in to Pygmalion was the biggest mistake IÆve made,ö he said.

Independence was at the top of the political agenda for the 15 Soviet Republics in 1990. By the end of the year, they had all declared their sovereignty. First, Lithuania declared its independence. This brought a sharp response from Moscow and, although Lithuania backed down, GorbachevÆs popularity sagged following his harsh military and economic response. He was booed at the May Day parade. Meanwhile, Boris Yeltsin was on the rise. While Gorbachev pushed for economic and social reforms, the Soviet economy deteriorated. He proposed to remake the Soviet Union into a free market economy, with broad plans for privatization of state property and an end of government price controls. The crisis deepened. Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze resigned, warning of impending dictatorship. But events, at least temporarily, proved him wrong. Pygmalion was the biggest mistake IÆve made,ö he said.

While it would have been an exaggeration to call the United States and the Soviet Union allies in 1990, the two countries did form a partnership and reach agreements on trade, conventional, chemical and nuclear arms reduction and on foreign policy in the Persian Gulf. The leaders of the two countries exchanged broadcast new yearÆs greetings, promising ôa century of peace and freedom.ö American President George Bush called for a new era in world affairs, following the fall of the Soviet empire. He reduced American conventional forces in Europe by 80,000. The Soviets cut their forces by 375,000 troops.

Yugoslavia is home to 24 ethnic groups, many of whom share age-old ethnic hatreds. Following a fractious Party congress, ethnic Albanians rose in Kosovo, and were violently subjugated by the Serbs. Clashes between Serbs and Croatians heated up. By December, 1990, Yugoslavia was well on its way to breaking apart. Elections in the six republics contributed to the escalating alienation. Violence increased as the country splintered into pro- and anti-Serbian factions, and Yugoslavia ended 1990 on the brink of civil war.tional forces in Europe by 80,000.

There, 34 countries signed a pact proclaiming a united Europe. An era of European Community was at hand. The goal of the Western nations was to create a single market by the end of 1992, with a single currency and a free flow of people and goods between nations. The reunification of Germany seemed to promise acceleration of the process. 12 nations agreed to begin intergovernmental negotiations on political unity, although some states resisted this step. Britain felt the pace of unification was too fast. Spain wanted more economic assistance. Germany wanted to protect its currency.

The road to German reunification proved to be remarkably smooth in 1990. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, East Germany was in turmoil. The Communist government was in collapse. Thousands of people were fleeing daily, overcrowding West Germany. It was agreed that the smoothest path to reunification was for West Germany to absorb East Germany. West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl went to Moscow and secured GorbachevÆs approval for German unity. Detailed negotiations followed on future German membership in NATO (approved), the size of the German army (smaller), presence of Soviet troops (they would leave), and the future of the OderNeisse border region (it would remain Polish).

Following the 1989 elections, PolandÆs Communist base was in retreat. In 1990, the Communist Party dissolved. Poland began to inch toward a free market economy. In a tumultuous election campaign, Lech Walesa, head of the populist Solidarity trade union, was elected president. ôThe bad time,ö announced the tearful leader, ôis coming to an end.öt Germany.

Extensive press coverage, plus the White HouseÆs evident willingness to engage in covert negotiation (as suggested by the Iran-Contra arms-for-hostages deal), may have actually encouraged terrorists to take hostages throughout the 1980s. When George Bush became President, he initiated a strict policy of no deals with terrorists. Both Syria and Iran sought better relations with the U.S. by using their influence to help end the hostage crisis. By the end of 1989, five hostages had been released, and the world looked forward to an end to the trying saga.rman army (smaller), presence of Soviet troops (they would leave), and the future of the OderNeisse border region (it would remain Polish).

In South Africa in 1990, a 30-year ban on the African National Congress (ANC) was lifted, and black leader Nelson Mandela was freed. The government began negotiations with the ANC. The liberation of Mandela after 28 years in prison was an epochal moment. Jubilant crowds heard his words and the entire world observed the moment. Paradoxically, black-against-black violence increased, as political and ethnic rivalries sharpened. The Zulu Inkatha movement opposed the ANC and violence escalated. Still, talks between the government and the ANC proceeded, and there was agreement on participation by both blacks and whites in a future interim government.

Exhausted by years of war between the incumbent socialist Sandinista regime and the U.S.-backed Contra rebels, the Nicaraguan people voted out the Sandinistas in February, 1990. Challenger Violeta Varrios de Chamorro of the National Opposition Union beat the incumbent President Daniel Ortega Saavedra in a surprise landslide victory. A remarkable 90% of the electorate turned out to vote in the elections. President Chamorro negotiated a cease-fire between the warring factions and after ten bitter years of struggle, the civil war ended.

Pakistan and India had fought wars over the beautiful northern province of Kashmir in 1948 and 1965. The administration of Kashmir and its largely Muslim population has been disputed since the partition of India and Pakistan in 1948. A combination of religious and political tension has long kept Kashmir in, or near, violent conflict. The region exploded again in 1990 with a series of assassinations of religious and political figures, including the death of Maulvi Mohammed Farooq, the imam of the largest mosque in Srinagar, the regionÆs capital.

After 75 years of South African control, and a bitter 24-year struggle, Namibia became independent on March 21, 1990. Ten years of negotiations bore fruit in 1988 when South Africa agreed to withdraw from the territory and hold free elections. Sam Nujoma, former guerrilla leader, became the nationÆs first president.

Once the mightiest of the Iroquois nations, the Mohawks were decimated in the late 1700s. The tribe moved to Canada, and there, too, suffered losses. In 1990 a proposal by a developer to extend a golf course onto land the Mohawks considered a sacred burial ground brought centuries of bitterness to the surface. The Mohawks barricaded a road in the town of Oka. Canadian officials ordered them to leave. A shoot-out ensued, and an officer was killed. Armed confrontations continued at the site and elsewhere in the region until finally, overwhelmed by greater government numbers, the barricade at Oka was brought down. Many of the natives were arrested on charges of rioting and possession of illegal weapons, but the Mohawks continued to press for greater self-government.llions of Germans cheered.ovember.t temporarily, proved him wrong.

Iraqi forces invaded Kuwait in August, 1990, after months of tension over oil and territorial rights. IraqÆs army, one of the best-equipped in the Middle East, easily overwhelmed Kuwaiti forces; within 12 hours all resistance had ceased. Saddam Hussein had his guns just miles from Saudi Arabia, the WestÆs most vital source of petroleum. ôThis will not stand,ö flatly stated American president George Bush. The Saudis agreed to allow U.S. troops to mass on their soil. The United Nations. ordered a far-reaching trade embargo against Iraq. The U.S. began to airlift forces to Saudi Arabia and so-called Operation Desert Shield was underway. By the end of 1990, 400,000 American troops were stationed in the desert. A line had been drawn in the sand. The Soviets supported the U.S. and U.N. initiatives. On January 16, 1991, Operation Desert Storm began with a hail of bombs and missiles striking Iraqi positions.

In 1984, at age 13, hemophiliac Ryan White discovered he had contracted the AIDS virus from a blood transfusion years earlier. White hoped to keep attending school classes in his hometown of Kokomo, Indiana, but was barred from doing so by school authorities who feared for the health of other students. White and his parents decided to challenge the school board on the issue, and after a legal battle, he won the right to attend school. His case was publicized internationally and White received visits and support from public figures like singer Elton John and first lady Barbara Bush.

Millions of Americans changed location in the Æ80s, and lots of new folks arrived, by birth and by boat. The official 1990 census recorded the changing shape of the nation, although results would take several years to fully examine. States with large immigrant, homeless or minority populations, like New York and California, were expected to be undercounted. Problems with mailings and concerns about confidentiality also kept many people out of the count. So did the complexity of the form. Still, nearly 250 million Americans responded.

The debate between environmentalists and the timber industry over the northern spotted owl symbolized a greater issue: to what extent should the United States conserve its natural resources? For years, the U.S. Forest Service sold public land to the timber industry, which generally clear-cut the land, levelling every tree in the area. As this led to a drastic reduction of old-growth forests in the Northwest, it also put animals which depended on that particular old-growth ecosystem - like the spotted owl - in a perilous situation. A federal court in 1990 ordered the Fish and Wildlife Service to classify the owl as endangered, and to set aside adequate habitat -- old growth forest -- to help insure the animalÆs survival. Controversy followed the decision. What had priority: jobs or the environment? The fate of both loggers and owls remained to be resolved. of bombs and missiles striking Iraqi positions.

On July 23, 1990, President George Bush nominated New Hampshire State Supreme Court judge David Souter for the United States Supreme Court. Souter, if confirmed, would replace retiring Justice William Brennan. Bush hoped to avoid a bruising Senate battle over his nominee, and his choice of Souter was received positively by members of both parties. Describing himself as a moderate judge who was in touch with regular people, Souter convinced many senators of his sincerity. His record on the New Hampshire court was moderate, and in some cases even vague; he was known as a quiet, modest bachelor who loved the law.

She remained in what was called a ôpersistent vegetative stateö thereafter. Her body became stiff and her physical condition deteriorated; doctor described her state as ôa living hell.ö Four years after her accident, Nancy CruzanÆs parents went to court to ask that her feeding tube be removed. The state of Missouri denied their request. The case became a test between advocates of the right to die - who believed in personal choice for freedom from unwanted medical intervention - and supporters of the right to life, who believed that the value of human life, to the individual and to society, superseded all other considerations. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the state of Missouri in 1989, stating that there was a right to die but that the state could limit it. Only those who have made their wishes known could be guaranteed the right to refuse unwanted medical treatment. After the CourtÆs decision, the state withdrew from the case, and a judge reopened hearings on CruzanÆs fate. Three friends of NancyÆs testified that she had told them that she would not like to live ôlike a vegetableö and, given this ôclear and convincing evidence,ö of the patientÆs wishes, the judge allowed removal of her feeding tube.

Indictments were also handed down for Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North and former National Security Advisor, Admiral John Poindexter. Both were convicted on several counts. NorthÆs convictions were later overturned, but Poindexter became the first Iran-Contra defendant to receive a jail sentence, of six months in prison, but most of his convictions were also later overturned.

The administration of President Ronald Reagan, along with the U.S. Congress, deregulated the nationÆs Savings and Loan institutions in the early 1980s. With tight federal restrictions removed, these formerly staid institutions which had once specialized in home mortgages found new roles in high risk real estate and junk bond ventures. When the countryÆs economy began to founder at the end of the decade, hundreds of S & LÆs collapsed, leaving the taxpayer to make good on the federally-insured accounts. Estimates of the cost were over $500 billion, when the full price was paid. One of the S & L owners who was indicted for fraud, Charles Keating, was later determined to have ties to five U.S. congressmen, who became known as the ôKeating Five.ö The financial catastrophe helped to push the countryÆs budget deficit to record levels.e could limit it.

As the economy deteriorated, and the cost of the S&L bailout skyrocketed, President George Bush and Congress continued to haggle over a package of tax increases and spending cuts. Finally, an agreement was reached. Bush reversed his famous 1988 campaign pledge of ôRead my lips; no new taxesö and agreed to tax increases; the change in position would severely damage his 1992 re-election campaign. Congress also seemed bent on demonstrating an inability to reach consensus and act in the national interest. After a memorable show of indecision, Congress rejected the PresidentÆs plan, Bush vetoed the Congressional legislation, and a final pact emerged that, based on faulty economic predictions, failed to reduce the deficit in a meaningful way.

It had been hoped that the Hubble Space Telescope would help determine the age and size of the universe. Instead, it offered lessons in quality control.

Here were some of the troubles facing AmericaÆs biggest cities at the end of the 1980s: The average American city received 64% less money from the federal government than it had in 1980, and most of the money had not been made up elsewhere. Inner city standards of living declined throughout the decade. Homeless persons numbered somewhere between 600,000 and 3 million; an accurate count was difficult. Residents of major cities grew poorer, with minorities suffering the largest decline in incomes. Millions of jobs in manufacturing had been lost to global competition.
