NEWS

yesterday was a day of many anniversaries. The most important are

1945--- Three days after the bombing of Hiroshima, the United States dropped an atomic bomb over Nagasaki, Japan. At least 75,000 people were killed immediately.

1974--- Nixon's resignation took effect and Gerald Ford became president. One of his first acts was to pardon Richard Nixon. Hmmmm.

1936---Jesse Owens won his forth gold medal at the Berlin Olympics. Hitler was furious that an 'inferior' (Owens was an African American) beat the super men at the Olympics.
