( #JCKaelin here: There are many divurgent versions of this story listed online, but my father and I remembered this historic (for Soupy Sales fans) event well as we were sitting together on the couch of our Laurelton, Queens home on Friday afternoon, September 2, 1966 -- the day "The Soupy Sales Show" was canceled as a result of what was about to happen -- when we saw this on live TV, broadcast from atop the Empire State Building on WNEW-TV Channel 5 New York. We recounted this shocking and hilarious event at family get-togethers for decades ever after until his death in 2014. It occurred at the beginning of the last weekend of Summer '66 -- the summer that began with pop music and ended with psychedlics, and for many teenage boys began with pocket protectors and horn rimmed glasses and ended with nehru jackets and beads -- and the last weekend before I first went to school, serving thereby as a milestone of my youth and my life. Soupy was in costume as a cowboy, making believe he was strumming a guitar and sprechgesingen (German: "talk singing", from Sprechgesang, "spoken singing", expressionist vocal techniques between singing and speaking, often used in opera and caberet, as well as in contemporary pop, rock, punk, and alternative music since the 1960s by Bob Dylan, The B-52s, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop and many others), when out came the words [paraphrased] "Cowgirl Jane, Cowgirl Jane | She can't make a cherry pie, but she sure can make my banana cream!" My father erupted in peals of deafening laughter, and I was bewildered why, as I didn't get the joke at that age. Dad literally fell off the couch, doubled over with laughter, and couldn't get up off the floor for laughing, and was afraid because of this that he was hurt. He dragged himself off of the floor and back onto the couch, and I asked Dad what was so funny, and he sputtered "you're too young to understand it". He gasped for air in-between continued breathless chuckles, then said "I bet he gets pulled off the air again for this", as Soupy had done at least once before for on-air antics since being on WNEW-TV (such as the infamous 1965 New Year's Day Incident, where he asked kids to take their parent's "funny green pieces of paper with pictures of U.S. presidents" and "put them in an envelope and mail them to me and I'll send you a postcard from Puerto Rico". I responded to my dad "Yeah, but why did they stop the show?", and Dad kept sputtering laughs and giggles. The screen said blank for about 90 seconds, then there came on a Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon, and dad erupted again in loud laughter again, shouting "Well they did it! They gook him off the air!" I still didn't understand what was going on, and dad still wouldn't explain it; instead, he got on the telephone and called my Grandparents next door to tell them what had happened. That was the last time "The Soupy Sales Show" was broadcast ever again, until much later re-runs were aired, as well as his 1978 "The New Soupy Sales Show". I bring all this up on March 2, in hornor of National Banana Cream Pie Day, the joke that got his show canceled was about a Banana Cream Pie, and because his trademark sketch ending was receiving a faux cream pie (shaving cream, actually) pie thrown in the face. So here's a greatly loving pie in the face from me to my beloved TV kid show host Soupy Sales in honor of Banana Cream Pie Day and the Banana Cream Pie joke that got him pulled off the air!" ) ========= March 2: National Banana Cream Pie Day: -- We celebrate National Banana Cream Pie Day on March 2 every year. This is a day to commemorate one of the tastiest dishes in the U.S. Although there are many kinds of pie in the U.S., banana cream pie is unique because of the variety of flavors and textures that it brings to the palate. All pie lovers come together on National Banana Cream Pie Day to make and eat their favorite banana cream pie recipe. If you're looking for a delicious dessert to share with friends and family, look no further. A banana cream pie will satiate every sweet tooth. Historians have traced back the origins of pie to the Neolithic Period, around 6000 B.C. It has been discovered that during this period, ancient Egyptians made a version of pies called 'galettes,' which were rustic free-form pies, made from oats, wheat, rye, and barley. The crust was filled with honey and the galettes were then baked over hot coals. In 1620, European pilgrims came to America with their favorite family pie recipes. These recipes were adapted to accommodate the resources already available to them in America. Initially, their pies were baked using berries and fruits that the Native Americans showed them. The European women used round pans for their baking in order to stretch the ingredients as they were scarce. In the 1700s, American women cemented the tradition of serving pies with every meal and thus the pie became an important part of American cuisine and culture. Pies were seen at every public gathering and fair in America. As more settlers moved to other parts of the continent, various kinds of regional pies were created. Pie ingredients are constantly being experimented with to this day to meet the demands of a hungry, pie-loving population. Banana Cream Pies became famous in the 20th century. In the 1950s, these pies became the favorite dessert of many American soldiers. These pies were essentially thin pastries, full of thick and creamy banana custard. The pie's popularity has spread worldwide. The British version of this is the Banoffee pie, which is made using bananas and toffee. #NationalBananaCreamPieDay #BananaCreamPieDay #BananaCreamPie #BananaCream #Pie #Yum #NationalDays On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT! https://store.earthstation1.com/lost-soupy-sales-tv-shows-dvd.html

March 2: International Rescue Cat Day: -- There are a lot of homeless cats on the streets just waiting for an annual observance day like this where people will come to take them off the streets and adopt them as a member of their families. To adopt a cat, you just need to visit a pet adoption agency and after the agency does their due diligence and everything checks out, they then go ahead with the adoption. Most domesticated cats are valued by humans for companionship, especially by people who work from home and people who live in apartments. Cats are domestic species with quick reflexes, a strong body, and sharp teeth. The first time a cat was domesticated was in Greece in 1200 B.C. after which it was introduced to Southern Europe. By the 5th century, they were familiar animals seen around settlements in Etruria. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (A.S.P.C.A.) was founded by Henry Bergh in 1867 and it was the first humane association with the initiative that all animals are entitled to respectful and kind treatment and must be protected under the law. The A.S.P.C.A. plays an important role in the adoption and rescue of animals. Animal rescues in general play an important role in the community by reuniting lost pets with their owners, giving shelter to homeless pets, and providing a new home for pets. They help to improve the general health and well-being of animals in the community. Over 6,000,000 domestic animals enter U.S. animal shelters worldwide each year, of which over three million are cats. Each year approximately 530,000 cats are euthanized in the shelter, this figure has decreased in comparison to 2011 when it was about 1,500,000 cats being euthanized. This decline is due to an increase in the number of cats being adopted and an increase in the number of stray cats being reunited with their pets. Approximately 2,100,000 cats are adopted each year.

March 2: National Old Stuff Day: -- The day when people across the country clean out their closets and garages, rediscover old treasures, and declutter their lives! Just in time for spring cleaning, National Old Stuff Day is a great opportunity to devote a day to tend to your closet, garage, attic, and other cluttered spaces that don't get a lot of attention. But you don't have to stop at things - maybe you want to change an old habit or try a new activity. Get creative with new ways to organize, appreciate, or get rid of 'old stuff' in your life! Second-hand shopping was popular in Elizabethan England, where desirable upper-class clothing could be purchased at one of hundreds of London's resale shops. Fashion changed quickly, and those with means purchased tailor-made garments or hired servants to make clothes for them. Most Britons, however, couldn't afford the luxury of new clothing. Because clothing was meant to last, purchasing an outfit was a big investment. Second-hand shops served the majority of Londoners, who could buy up the clothes cast off by the upper classes. Clothing was sometimes sold multiple times, with garments getting cheaper as they became more patched and ratty. Nevertheless, having ready-made clothing available for a few pennies was a vast improvement over having to sew everything yourself. Beginning in the early 20th century, Christian nonprofits and charity organizations essentially invented a new business sector by linking charity to capitalism and commerce. Seeing the need for second-hand clothing and household items among the urban poor, progressive reformers used this as an opportunity to link used goods to charity and use sales to raise money for various causes. Thrift stores quickly wised up to consumer tastes, using department-store-like displays to reduce the stigma around used goods and encourage middle-class shoppers to patronize the stores. Slowly, thrift stores became a fixture of American culture. As Americans gained increased access to mass-produced, disposable goods, thrift stores offered a way to assuage consumers' guilt by justifying their purchases as charitable and frugal. Thanks to the environmental movement, increased awareness of mass consumption, and the elevated popularity of thrift store shopping in pop culture, thrifting has become a fashionable hobby. The stigma around used goods has largely dissolved as 'vintage' replaced 'secondhand' and shoppers increasingly seek to reduce their consumption of new goods. Today, there are over 25,000 second-hand stores in the United States.

March 2: National Read Across America Day: -- March 2, 1904: #BOTD: #HBD! Dr. Seuss, American children's book writer, political cartoonist, illustrator, poet, animator, screenwriter, and filmmaker (d. September 24, 1991) is #born Theodor Seuss Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts. Dr. Seuss is known for his work writing and illustrating more than 60 books under the pen name Dr. Seuss. His work includes many of the most popular children's books of all time, selling over 600 million copies and being translated into more than 20 languages by the time of his death. Geisel adopted the name "Dr. Seuss" as an undergraduate at Dartmouth College and as a graduate student at Lincoln College, Oxford. He left Oxford in 1927 to begin his career as an illustrator and cartoonist for Vanity Fair, Life, and various other publications. He also worked as an illustrator for advertising campaigns, most notably for FLIT and Standard Oil, and as a political cartoonist for the New York newspaper PM. He published his first children's book And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street in 1937. During World War II, he took a brief hiatus from children's literature to illustrate political cartoons. In 1943, he joined the Army as a Captain and was commander of the Animation Department of the First Motion Picture Unit of the United States Army Air Forces, where he wrote, produced or animated many film productions that included Your Job in Germany, a 1945 propaganda film about peace in Europe after World War II; Our Job in Japan; and the Private Snafu series of adult army training films. While in the Army, he was awarded the Legion of Merit. Our Job in Japan became the basis for the commercially released film Design for Death (1947), a study of Japanese culture that won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. Gerald McBoing-Boing (1950) was based on an original story by Seuss and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film. After the war, Geisel returned to writing children's books, writing classics like If I Ran the Zoo (1950), Horton Hears a Who! (1955), If I Ran the Circus (1956), The Cat in the Hat (1957), How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1957), and Green Eggs and Ham (1960). He published over 60 books during his career, which have spawned numerous adaptations, including 11 television specials, five feature films, a Broadway musical, and four television series. Geisel won the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1958 for Horton Hatches the Egg and again in 1961 for And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street. Geisel's birthday, March 2, has been adopted as the annual date for National Read Across America Day, an initiative on reading created by the National Education Association.

March 2: American Citizenship Day (Puerto Rico): -- March 2, 1917: The History Of American Imperialism: American Imperialism In The Caribbean: Puerto Rico: The History Of Puerto Rico: The Political History Of Puerto Rico: United States Mationality Law: Citizenship Of The United States: The Jones-Shafroth Act (The Jones Act Of Puerto Rico, The Jones Law Of Puerto Rico, The Puerto Rican Federal Relations Act Of 1917): -- Puerto Ricans are granted statutory U.S. citizenship to anyone born in Puerto Rico on or after April 11, 1899 as President Woodrow Wilson signs the Jones-Shafroth Act. During the Spanish-American War of 1898, the U.S. invaded Puerto Rico, and Spain eventually ceded the island to America under the Treaty Of Paris. After the war, the U.S. acquired Puerto Rico and three other territories. In the early years, Puerto Rico was ruled by the U.S. military along with officials appointed by the president of the U.S. The judicial system was reformed to align with that of the United States. Citizenship remained a unique matter. Initially, Spanish nationals born in Spain could choose to remain Spanish by making a formal declaration. Foreigners remained foreign nationals. People born in Puerto Rico were U.S. nationals, but as per scholar John L. A. de Passalacqua, they had no "citizenship whatsoever recognized under international law or even United States municipal law." Following this, new Codes and Acts kept coming into effect with minor changes. In 1917, the U.S. Congress passed the Jones-Shafroth Act granting Puerto Ricans born on or after America's declaration of war against Spen of April 25, 1898 full U.S. citizenship. The act established statutory U.S. citizenship upon U.S. nationals of Puerto Rico and those who might have been absent from the territory at the time of U.S. acquisition, but who had now returned. The act was faced with criticism and doubt but remains in effect to this day. On March 2, the date of the signing, American Citizenship Day is observed in Puerto; offices are closed, and the holiday is publicly observed.

March 2, 1807: Slavery: Slavery In The United States: Slave Rebellions In The United States: Federal Law Of The United States: The Act Prohibiting Importation Of Slaves (The Act Prohibiting Importation Of Slaves Of 1807): -- The U.S. Congress passes The Act Prohibiting Importation Of Slaves, a federal law disallowing the importation of new slaves into the country. It took effect on January 1, 1808, the earliest date permitted by the United States Constitution. This legislation was promoted by President Thomas Jefferson, who called for its enactment in his 1806 State of the Union Address. He and others had promoted the idea since the 1770s. It reflected the force of the general trend toward abolishing the international slave trade which Virginia, followed by all the other states, had prohibited or restricted since then. South Carolina, however, had reopened its trade. Congress first regulated against the trade in the Slave Trade Act of 1794. The 1794 Act ended the legality of American ships participating in the trade. The 1807 law did not change that; it made all importation from abroad, even on foreign ships, a federal crime. The domestic slave trade within the U.S. was not affected by the 1807 law. Indeed, with the legal supply of imported slaves terminated, the domestic trade increased in importance. In addition, some smuggling of slaves persisted. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT! https://store.earthstation1.com/roots-of-resistance-a-story-of-the-underground-railroad-dvd.html

The actual title of the initial legislation was "An act to provide for the more efficient government of the Rebel States" and was passed on March 4, 1867. Fulfillment of the requirements of the Acts was necessary for the former Confederate States to be readmitted to the Union from military and Federal control imposed during and after the American Civil War.

March 2, 1876: #BOTD: #HBD! Pope Pius XII, Pope of the Catholic Church (d. October 9,1958) is #born Eugenio Maria Giuseppe Giovanni Pacelli in Rome; on the same date in 1939, Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli is elected Pope in city-state Vatican City in Rome, and takes the name Pius XII, serving as Pope until his death in 1958. Before his election to the papacy, Pacelli served as secretary of the Department of Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs, papal nuncio to Germany (1917-1929), and Cardinal Secretary Of State, in which capacity he worked to conclude treaties with European and Latin American nations, most notably the Reichskonkordat with Nazi Germany, a treaty negotiated between the Vatican and the emergent Nazi Germany that guarantees the rights of the Roman Catholic Church in Germany. Expressing dismay at the Invasion Of Poland, he as Pope reiterated Church teaching against racial persecution and calling for love, compassion and charity to prevail over war. While the Vatican was officially neutral during the war, Pius XII maintained links to the German Resistance, used diplomacy to aid the victims of the war and lobby for peace, and spoke out during Pope Pius XII's 1942 Christmas address against race-based murders and other atrocities. The Reichskonkordat of 1933 and Pius's leadership of the Catholic Church during World War II remain the subject of controversy - including allegations of public silence and inaction about the fate of the Jews. After the war, Pius XII advocated peace and reconciliation, including lenient policies towards Axis and Axis-satellite nations. Pius XII was also a staunch opponent of Communism and of the Italian Communist Party. During his papacy, the Decree against Communism was issued by the church; the decree declared that Catholics who profess Communist doctrine are to be excommunicated as apostates from the Christian faith. In turn, the Church experienced severe persecution and mass deportations of Catholic clergy in the Eastern Bloc. He explicitly invoked ex cathedra papal infallibility with the dogma of the Assumption of Mary in his 1950 Apostolic constitution Munificentissimus Deus. His magisterium includes almost 1,000 addresses and radio broadcasts. His forty-one encyclicals include Mystici corporis, the Church as the Body of Christ; Mediator Dei on liturgy reform; and Humani generis on the Church's positions on theology and evolution. He eliminated the Italian majority in the College of Cardinals in 1946. In 1954, Pius XII began to suffer from ill health, which would continue until his death in 1958. The embalming of his body was mishandled, with effects that were evident during the funeral. He was buried in the Vatican grottos and was succeeded by Pope John XXIII. In the process toward sainthood, his cause for canonization was opened on 18 November 1965 by Pope Paul VI during the final session of the Second Vatican Council. He was made a Servant of God by Pope John Paul II in 1990 and Pope Benedict XVI declared Pius XII Venerable on December 19, 2009.

March 2, 1902: #BOTD: #HBD! Moe Berg, American professional baseball catcher and coach in Major League Baseball, spy for The Office Of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II (d. May 29, 1972) is #born Morris Berg in New York City, the third and youngest child of Bernard Berg, a pharmacist who emigrated from Ukraine, and his wife Rose (nee Tashker), a homemaker, both Jewish, who lived in Harlem a few blocks from the Polo Grounds. He played 15 seasons in the major leagues, almost entirely for four American League teams, though he was never more than an average player and was better known for being "the brainiest guy in baseball." Casey Stengel once described Berg as "the strangest man ever to play baseball" (which is ironic, coming from him of all people! ;) ). Berg was a graduate of Princeton University and Columbia Law School, spoke several languages, and regularly read ten newspapers a day. His reputation as an intellectual was fueled by his successful appearances as a contestant on the radio quiz show Information Please, in which he answered questions about the etymology of words and names from Greek and Latin, historical events in Europe and the Far East, and ongoing international conferences. As a spy working for the government of the United States, he prepared maps of Tokyo when travelling there to teach baseball seminars in 1932. Berg traveled to Yugoslavia to gather intelligence on resistance groups which the U.S. government was considering supporting. He was sent on a mission to Italy, where he interviewed various physicists concerning the German nuclear weapons program. After the war, Berg was occasionally employed by the Central Intelligence Agency, successor to the Office of Strategic Services. After the war, the OSS was disbanded. Berg was awarded The Medal Of Freedom, the highest honor given to civilians during wartime, from President Harry S. Truman for his service. He declined to accept it without any public explanation. The citation read: "Mr. Morris Berg, United States Civilian, rendered exceptionally meritorious service of high value to the war effort from April 1944 to January 1946. In a position of responsibility in the European Theater, he exhibited analytical abilities and a keen planning mind. He inspired both respect and constant high level of endeavor on the part of his subordinates which enabled his section to produce studies and analysis vital to the mounting of American operations." After his death, his sister, Ethel, requested and accepted the award on his behalf, later donating it to The Baseball Hall Of Fame. Moe Berg died at the age of 70 from injuries sustained in a fall at home. A nurse at the Belleville, New Jersey, hospital where he died recalled his final words as: "How did the Mets do today?" (they won). By his request, his remains were cremated and spread over Mount Scopus in Jerusalem, Israel.

On May 16, 1920: Joan Of Arc was formally canonized as a saint of the Roman Catholic Church by Pope Benedict XV in his bull Divina Disponente, which concluded the canonization process that the Sacred Congregation Of Rites initiated after a petition of 1869 of the French Catholic hierarchy. Although pro-English clergy had Joan burnt at the stake for heresy in 1431, she was rehabilitated in 1456 after a posthumous retrial. Subsequently, she became a folk saint among French Catholics and soldiers inspired by her story of being commanded by God to fight for France against England. Many French regimes encouraged her cult, and the Third Republic was sympathetic to the canonization petition prior to the 1905 separation of church and state.

He was the eighth and last leader of the Soviet Union, having been General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1985 until 1991. He was the country's head of state from 1988 until 1991 (titled as Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet from 1988 to 1989, as Chairman of the Supreme Soviet from 1989 to 1990, and as President of the Soviet Union from 1990 to 1991).

In 1970, he was appointed the First Party Secretary of the Stavropol Regional Committee, First Secretary to the Supreme Soviet in 1974, and appointed a candidate member of the Politburo in 1979. Within three years of the death of Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev, following the brief interregna of Andropov and Chernenko, Gorbachev was elected general secretary by the Politburo in 1985. Before he reached the post, he had occasionally been mentioned in Western newspapers as a likely next leader and a man of the younger generation at the top level. Gorbachev's policies of glasnost ("openness") and perestroika ("restructuring") and his reorientation of Soviet strategic aims contributed to the end of the Cold War. Under this program, the role of the Communist Party in governing the state was removed from the constitution, which inadvertently led to crisis-level political instability with a surge of regional nationalist and anti-communist activism culminating in the Dissolution Of The Soviet Union. Gorbachev later expressed regret for his failure to save the USSR, though he has insisted that his policies were not failures but rather were vitally necessary reforms which were sabotaged and exploited by opportunists. He was awarded the Otto Hahn Peace Medal in 1989, the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990, and the Harvey Prize in 1992, as well as honorary doctorates from various universities. Mikhail Gorbachev died after a "severe and prolonged illness," according to the hospital; for a number of years before his death, Gorbachev suffered from severe diabetes and underwent several surgeries and hospital stays. Gorbachev was the last living Soviet leader following the death of Georgy Malenkov in 1988, and is the only one to have been born during the Soviet Union's existence. At the age of 91 years old, Gorbachev is the longest-lived ruler of Russia to date, having lived longer than Alexander Kerensky and Vasili Kuznetsov, who both died at 89 years old. Gorbachev's body lay in state on September 3 within the Pillar Hall of the House Of The Unions in Moscow, which has historically been used to hold state funeral services for high-ranking officials and leaders, including for Joseph Stalin after his death in 1953. Notably, unlike his successor, Boris Yeltsin, Gorbachev would not be granted a state funeral, in an obvious snub by Russian president Vladimir Putin, who blamed Gorbachev for the dissolution of the Soviet Union. However, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov did announce that Gorbachev would be given "elements of a state funeral", such as a guard of honor and partial government organization. In a further snub by Putin it was also announced that Russian president Vladimir Putin would not attend Gorbachev's funeral, based on the false excuse that this was due to Putin's busy schedule, a callous indignity that attracted worldwide media attention. A large public turnout resulted in public viewing of Gorbachev's casket and encased body being extended from two hours to four hours. This large public viewing attendance came in spite of reports that many Russians blame Gorbachev for launching reforms that caused economic chaos and for letting the Soviet Union fall apart. Despite having elements similar to a state funeral, including the national flag draping Gorbachev's coffin while being accompanied with goose-stepping guards firing shots in the air and a small band playing the Russian anthem, it was alleged that Putin avoided giving Gorbachev an official state funeral so he could avoid being obliged to attend it and also be required to invite world leaders. Among those who attended Gorbachev's funeral were family, friends, foreign ambassadors to Russia-including ambassadors from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany, among others-Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban, and Russian government figures, including Dmitry Medvedev. Aside from Orban, no other foreign leaders were shown to be in attendance. Presiding over the funeral procession was Gorbachev's close friend and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Dmitry Muratov. Gorbachev was buried the same day at the Novodevichy Cemetery in Moscow next to his wife, Raisa Gorbacheva, in accordance with his will.

March 2, 1942: #BOTD: #HBD! Lou Reed, American singer, songwriter, composer, guitarist, record producer, poet, photographer and actor (d. October 27, 2013) is #born Lewis Allan Reed at Beth El Hospital (later Brookdale) in Brooklyn, the son of Toby (nee Futterman) (1920-2013) and Sidney Joseph Reed (1913-2005), an accountant, Russian Jews whose parents fled antisemitism in Russia; his father had changed his name from Rabinowitz to Reed (Reed said that although he was Jewish, his real god was rock 'n' roll). Lou Reed was the co-founder, guitarist, singer and principal songwriter for the rock band the Velvet Underground and had a solo career that spanned five decades. A band named after the Michael Leigh mass market paperback about the secret sexual subculture of the early 1960s, The Velvet Underground was not a commercial success during its existence, but became regarded as one of the most influential bands in the history of underground and alternative rock music. Reed's distinctive deadpan voice, poetic and transgressive lyrics, and experimental guitar playing were trademarks throughout his long career. After leaving the band in 1970, Reed released twenty solo studio albums. His second, Transformer (1972), was produced by David Bowie and arranged by Mick Ronson, and brought him mainstream recognition. The album is considered an influential landmark of the glam rock genre, anchored by Reed's most successful single, "Walk on the Wild Side". After Transformer, the less commercial but critically acclaimed Berlin peaked at No. 7 on the UK Albums Chart. Rock 'n' Roll Animal (a live album released in 1974) sold strongly, and Sally Can't Dance (1974) peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard 200; but for a long period after, Reed's work did not translate into sales, leading him deeper into drug addiction and alcoholism. Reed cleaned up in the early 1980s, and gradually returned to prominence with New Sensations (1984), reaching a critical and commercial career peak with his 1989 album New York. Reed participated in the reformation of the Velvet Underground in the 1990s, and made several more albums, including a collaboration album with John Cale titled Songs for Drella which was a tribute to their former mentor Andy Warhol. Magic and Loss (1992) would become Reed's highest-charting album on the UK Albums Chart, peaking at No. 6. He contributed music to two theatrical interpretations of 19th century writers, one of which he developed into an album titled The Raven. He married his third wife Laurie Anderson in 2008, and recorded the collaboration album Lulu with Metallica. He died in 2013 of liver disease. Reed has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice; as a member of the Velvet Underground in 1996 and as a solo act in 2015. On October 27, 2013, Lou Reed died of liver disease at his home in East Hampton, New York, at the age of 71. On the day of his death, Pearl Jam dedicated their song "Man of the Hour" to him at their show in Baltimore and then played "I'm Waiting for the Man"; also on that day, The Killers dedicated their rendition of "Pale Blue Eyes" to Reed at the Life Is Beautiful festival in Las Vegas, My Morning Jacket performed a cover of "Oh! Sweet Nuthin'" in California, Arctic Monkeys performed "Walk on the Wild Side" in Liverpool, and Phish opened their show in Hartford, CT with the Velvet Underground's "Rock & Roll". Reed was cremated and the ashes were given to his family.

March 2, 1943: World War II: The Pacific War (The Asia-Pacific War, The Pacific Theater Of World War II): The Pacific Ocean Theater Of World War II: The South West Pacific Area (SWPA): The New Guinea Campaign: The Battle Of The Bismarck Sea: -- The Battle Of The Bismarck Sea (March 2-4, 1943) begins as a Japanese convoy of eight destroyers and eight transports carrying 7,000 Japanese soldiers heading toward New Guinea is attacked by 137 American bombers, resulting in the sinking of four destroyers and all eight transports, drowning 3,500 Japanese, and putting an end to Japanese efforts to send any more reinforcements to New Guinea. The Battle of the Bismarck Sea was fought with aircraft of the U.S. Fifth Air Force and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), who destroyed most of the Japanese task force. The Japanese convoy was a result of a Japanese Imperial General Headquarters decision in December 1942 to reinforce their position in the South West Pacific. A plan was devised to move some 6,900 troops from Rabaul directly to Lae. The plan was understood to be risky, because Allied air power in the area was strong, but it was decided to proceed because otherwise the troops would have to be landed a considerable distance away and march through inhospitable swamp, mountain and jungle terrain without roads before reaching their destination. On 28 February 1943, the convoy - comprising eight destroyers and eight troop transports with an escort of approximately 100 fighter aircraft - set out from Simpson Harbour in Rabaul. The Allies had detected preparations for the convoy, and naval codebreakers in Melbourne (FRUMEL) and Washington, D.C., had decrypted and translated messages indicating the convoy's intended destination and date of arrival. The Allied Air Forces had developed new techniques, such as skip bombing, that they hoped would improve the chances of successful air attack on ships. They detected and shadowed the convoy, which came under sustained air attack on 2-3 March 1943. Follow-up attacks by PT boats and aircraft were made on 4 March on life boats and rafts. All eight transports and four of the escorting destroyers were sunk. Of 6,900 troops who were badly needed in New Guinea, only about 1,200 made it to Lae. Another 2,700 were rescued by destroyers and submarines and returned to Rabaul. The Japanese made no further attempts to reinforce Lae by ship, greatly hindering their ultimately unsuccessful efforts to stop Allied offensives in New Guinea.

March 2, 1949: The History Of Aviation: Aviation Firsts: Circumnavigation: Circumnavigation Of The Earth: Aerial Circumnavigation Of The Earth: -- Captain James Gallagher lands the B-50 Superfortress Lucky Lady II at Carswell Air Force Base in Fort Worth, Texas after completing the first non-stop around-the-world airplane flight in 94 hours and one minute. The plane later suffered an accident, and today only the fuselage is preserved. The Lucky Lady II was a B-50 of the 43rd Bombardment Group, equipped with 12 .50-caliber (12.7mm) machine guns. For its circumnavigation mission, a fuel tank was added in the bomb bay for extra range. The mission required a double crew with three pilots, under the command of Capt. James Gallagher. The crews rotated in shifts of four to six hours. Bearing a total crew of 14, the aircraft started its round-the-world trip at 12:21 p.m. on February 26, 1949. It took off from Carswell Air Force Base near Fort Worth, Texas, and headed east toward the Atlantic Ocean. After flying 23,452 mi (37,742 km), the aircraft passed the control tower back at Carswell on March 2 at 10:22 am, marking the end of the circumnavigation, and landed there at 10:31 a.m. after having been in the air for 94 hours and one minute, landing two minutes before the estimated time of arrival calculated at take-off. En route, the aircraft was refueled four times by KB-29M Superfortresses, near Lajes Air Base in the Azores, Dhahran Airfield in Saudi Arabia, Clark Air Base in the Philippines, and Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii, using the soon-to-be obsolete grappled-line looped-hose technique. The aircraft flew at altitudes between 10,000 to 20,000 ft (3,000 to 6,100 m) and completed the trip around the world at an average ground speed of 249 mph (401 km/h; 216 kn). General Curtis LeMay, Strategic Air Command's commanding general, was on hand to greet Lucky Lady II upon its arrival, together with dignitaries including Secretary of the Air Force W. Stuart Symington, Air Force Chief Of Staff General Hoyt S. Vandenberg, and Major General Roger M. Ramey, commanding general of the Eighth Air Force. LeMay said the mission showed that the Air Force could send bombers from the United States to "any place in the world that required the atomic bomb". He also said mid-air refueling could also be used for fighter aircraft. Symington noted that aerial refueling would "turn medium bombers into inter-continental bombers". The aircraft's crew were each awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and were honored by the National Aeronautic Association with its annual Mackay Trophy, recognizing the outstanding flight of the year and by the Air Force Association with its Air Age Trophy. Another B-50 named Global Queen had taken off on February 25 with the same mission, but was forced to land at Lajes Air Base in the Azores due to an engine fire. Altogether, five B-50As were lined up by LeMay for the task in anticipation that at least one would succeed, and only four weeks were given to prepare the crews and logistics.

The National Assembly Of The Socialist Republic Of Vietnam was then in North Vienam and is now in post-war Vietnam the parliament and the highest body of state power in the country. The National Assembly is the only branch of government in Vietnam and, in accordance with the principle of unified power, all state organs are subservient to it. The President Of The Socialist Republic Of Vietnam (Vietnamese: "Chairman Of The State Of The Socialist Republic Of Vietnam') is the head of state of Vietnam, elected by the Vietnam National Assembly from delegates of the National Assembly. Since Vietnam is a single-party state, the president is generally considered to hold the second highest position in the political system, formally after the general secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam. In addition, the president appoints the head of government, the prime minister. As head of state, the President represents Vietnam both domestically and internationally, and maintains the regular and coordinated operation and stability of the national government and safeguards the independence and territorial integrity of the country. The president must be a delegate of the National Assembly and is traditionally a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party. Ho Chi Minh (Vietnamese: "He Who Enlightens"), Vietnamese politician, communist revolutionary leader who was Chairman and First Secretary of the Workers' Party of Vietnam, Prime Minister of Vietnam (1945-1955), 1st President of Vietnam (1945-1969) (b. 1890) was born Nguyen Sinh Cung September 2, 1969. Also known as Nguyen Tat Thanh, Nguyen Ai Quoc, Chua Ho, Bac Ho or simply Bac, Ho was a key figure in the foundation of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1945 as well as the People's Army of Vietnam and the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War. Ho Chi Minh led the Viet Minh independence movement from 1941 onward, establishing the Communist-ruled Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1945 and defeating the French Union in 1954 at the battle of Dien Bien Phu. He officially stepped down from power in 1965 due to health problems. After the war, Saigon, the former capital of the Republic of Vietnam, was renamed Ho Chi Minh City. Any description of Ho Chi Minh's life before he came to power in Vietnam is necessarily fraught with ambiguity. He is known to have used beteen 50-75 at least and perhaps as many as 200 total pseudonyms. His place of birth and date of birth are products of academic consensus since neither is known with certainty. At least four existing official biographies vary on names, dates, places and other hard facts while unofficial biographies vary even more widely.

March 2, 1961: The American Civil Rights Movement: Anti-Black Racism In The United States: Segregation: Racial Segregation: The Zion Baptist Church March To The South Carolina State House: -- A group of some 187 students and young adults gathered at Zion Baptist Church in South Carolina's capital city of Columbia to demand greater civil rights for African Americans in the state. At that time, lunch counters, hotels, movie theaters, parks, and basically all places of business were permitted to discriminate against anyone on the basis of their race. The state did not have any laws to prevent this discrimination, and in fact even though Brown vs. Board of Education was decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1954, there was still no movement on integrating the state's public schools either. South Carolina was stuck in the past, mired in the Jim Crow era and its system of institutional discrimination. The state's African Americans, and the youth, in particular, had had enough. Following the rally at Zion Baptist, the youth and some adult leaders from the S.C. branch of the NAACP, marched from Washington Street to the State House. They carried signs demanding greater civil rights protections and admonishing the state's leaders to pass laws to end segregation. They were well dressed and marched peacefully. However the fact that such a large group of young African Americans were gathered together with signs was frightening enough to the white citizens of the city that law enforcement was summoned and 187 were arrested for Breach of Peace. On March 7, the youth and their lawyers entered the Richland County Court House in a case that came to be known as James Edwards, Jr. et al. vs. The State of South Carolina. Edwards just happened to be one of the first adults arrested of the group. The charge of breach of peace was upheld in court that day, but was appealed by the defendants' lawyers Matthew Perry and Lincoln Jenkins. The case was again tried in the South Carolina Supreme Court but the convictions were upheld. It was eventually appealed to the United States Supreme Court, where South Carolina was found to be in the wrong because it had infringed upon the protestors' rights of freedom of speech and assembly. At last the ruling was overturned and the charges against the youth were dismissed.

March 2, 1969: The History Of Aviation: The History Of Civil Aviation: Maiden Flights: -- The Aerospatiale/BAC Concorde turbojet-powered supersonic passenger airliner makes its first test flight at Toulouse, France. Concorde is a British-French turbojet-powered supersonic passenger airliner that was operated from 1976 until 2003. It had a maximum speed over twice the speed of sound at Mach 2.04 (1,354 mph or 2,180 km/h at cruise altitude), with seating for 92 to 128 passengers. First flown in 1969, Concorde entered service in 1976 and continued flying for the next 27 years. It is one of only two supersonic transports to have been operated commercially; the other is the Soviet-built Tupolev Tu-144, which operated in passenger service from 1977 to 1978. Concorde was jointly developed and manufactured by Sud Aviation (later Aerospatiale) and the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) under an Anglo-French treaty. Twenty aircraft were built, including six prototypes and development aircraft. Air France (AF) and British Airways (BA) were the only airlines to purchase and fly Concorde. The aircraft was used mainly by wealthy passengers who could afford to pay a high price in exchange for the aircraft's speed and luxury service. For example, in 1997, the round-trip ticket price from New York to London was 7,995 USD, more than 30 times the cost of the cheapest option to fly this route. The original program cost estimate of 70 million Pounds Sterling met huge overruns and delays, with the program eventually costing 1.3 billion Pounds Sterling. It was this extreme cost that became the main factor in the production run being much smaller than anticipated. Later, another factor which affected the viability of all supersonic transport programmes was that supersonic flight could only be used on ocean-crossing routes, to prevent sonic boom disturbance over populated areas. With only seven airframes each being operated by the British and French, the per-unit cost was impossible to recoup, so the French and British governments absorbed the development costs. British Airways and Air France were able to operate Concorde at a profit, in spite of very high maintenance costs, because the aircraft was able to sustain a high ticket price. Among other destinations, Concorde flew regular transatlantic flights from London's Heathrow Airport and Paris's Charles de Gaulle Airport to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia, and Grantley Adams International Airport in Barbados; it flew these routes in less than half the time of other airliners. Concorde's name, meaning "harmony" or "union", was chosen to reflect the co-operation on the project between the United Kingdom and France. In the UK, any or all of the type are known simply as Concorde, with no definite article "the". Concorde won the 2006 Great British Design Quest organised by the BBC and the Design Museum, beating other well-known designs such as the BMC Mini, the miniskirt, the Jaguar E-Type, the London Tube map and the Supermarine Spitfire. The type was retired in 2003, three years after the crash of Air France Flight 4590, in which all passengers and crew were killed. The general downturn in the commercial aviation industry after the September 11 attacks in 2001 and the end of maintenance support for Concorde by Airbus (the successor company of both Aerospatiale and BAC) also contributed.

Its four objectives, which evolved over time, were 1) to boost the sagging morale of the Saigon regime in the Republic of Vietnam, 2) to persuade North Vietnam to cease its support for the Viet Cong communist insurgency in South Vietnam by attacking North Vietnam by air rather than ground invasion, 3) to destroy North Vietnam's transportation system, industrial base, and air defenses, and 4) to halt the flow of men and material into South Vietnam. Attainment of these objectives was made difficult by both the restraints imposed upon the U.S. and its allies by Cold War exigencies and by the military aid and assistance received by North Vietnam from its communist allies, the Soviet Union, the People's Republic Of China (PRC) and North Korea. The operation became the most intense air/ground battle waged during the Cold War period; it was the most difficult such campaign fought by the United States since the aerial bombardment of Germany during World War II. Supported by communist allies, North Vietnam fielded a potent mixture of sophisticated air-to-air and surface-to-air weapons that created one of the most effective air defenses ever faced by American military aviators.
