March 19: National Agriculture Day (National Ag Day): -- Food is for everyone! Everything we eat, use, or wear every day is provided, directly or indirectly by agriculture. Most people don't understand the contribution of agriculture to our lives. To know more about how we are agriculture is directed towards our health and lifestyle read the top agriculture journalist story. So today we are celebrating agriculture and thanking all the people who work hard to feed the world, look after crops and livestock, and contribute to agricultural production. Almost all of us take agriculture for granted. National Ag Day is arranged by the Agriculture Council of America. This is a non-profit organization that comprises all the leaders in the agriculture and food community. This day is observed to honor the efforts of people related to agriculture and promote awareness about these efforts amongst people. It is that day of the year when all the producers, agriculture organizations, universities, corporations, and government departments take out some time to recognize the greatness of agriculture. National Ag Day was founded by the Agriculture Council of America in 1973. The first National Ag Day was celebrated by the ACA in 1979. Since then the ACA has put efforts into creating awareness about the role of agriculture in modern society. So even if we are not involved in agriculture, we should learn about how our food and fiber are produced, as well as how agriculture provides us with safe, abundant, and useful products. Another important thing that agriculture provides us with is employment opportunities. Therefore, we should also acknowledge the career opportunities in the field of agriculture.

March 19: National Poultry Day: -- Poultry is the theme for March 19th as it is National Poultry Day. No fowl moods or ruffled feathers. However, there may be some quacking and gobbling going on. Kick the day off with eggs and turkey bacon for breakfast. Around lunchtime, serve an open-faced turkey avocado sandwich. Then perhaps, finish off the day with a good, ol' fashioned fried chicken dinner. Poultry refers to domestic birds that are raised for meat and eggs. These birds include chicken, turkey, ducks, geese, quail, and pheasant. Poultry is farmed in large numbers with chickens being the most numerous. It is believed that chicken was introduced to American soil by European explorers in the 16th century. Most Americans raised small flocks, enough to feed their families. Over time, chicken consumption in the United States increased. And during World War II, due to a shortage of beef and pork, chicken stepped in to fill the protein need. The U.S. Department of Agriculture oversees poultry production in the United States. Estimates place production at around 9 billion chickens in the United States. Chicken and turkey are lower in fats and cholesterol than other meats. Poultry can be prepared in many different ways including roasting, baking, frying, grilling, sauteing, steaming, and broasting. The size of the chicken typically determines the best cooking style to use. While a group of chickens is called either a brood or peep, if they are chicks we call them a clutch or chattering. When it comes to ducks and geese, their collective nouns depend on where they are in relation to the Earth. A group of ducks in flight is called a flock, but once they land on the ground their collective nouns change. We call them either a brace or a badling. If they take to water they could be called a raft, team, or paddling. Whether geese are in the air, ground, or on the water, we generally use the collective noun flock. However, in flight, they can be called a skein, too. Once they land, though, they can be a gaggle, herd or corps. So go enjoy your favorite poultry dish! Order chicken, duck or turkey off the menu. Test out a new poultry recipe like Chicken Bacon Bites, Chicken Enchiladas, Turkey Pot Pie, Herb-Roasted Turkey Breast, Smothered Pheasant or Pheasant Casserole - and use #NationalPoultryDay to post on social media!

March 19: National Backyard Day: -- Our backyards have become our home away from home, our playgrounds, and an extension of our homes. On March 19th, we celebrate National Backyard Day and all the ways we've transformed the spaces and places we call our oasis. We celebrate our backyards. They're not just a little patch of land with some lawn chairs anymore. For some of us, they may barely be a porch or a postage stamp of concrete. But come to the end of the workweek, we transform them into Staycation Destination #1. We've mastered square foot gardens, vertical gardening, pallet furniture, the art of charcuterie, and giant lawn games. They've become our outdoor theaters with movies projected onto large screens under an open sky and Adirondack seating. In the evenings, we seek our backyards to explore nature. We wait for the bees to collect their nectar. Our bird feeders attract birds of every size and color and, with them, furry creatures, too. We look to the skies at night, tracking satellites and identifying constellations. With luck, we will see a meteor shower or two. Our backyards offer peaceful solitude, a restful escape for reading and napping, and a place for fellowship with friends and family. We've returned to our backyards to connect nature, to each other, and ourselves. So celebrate the way you've turned your backyard into a perfect escape space. Share how you've been spending time in your backyard space, large or small. And no matter how you celebrate, be sure to spend some time in your backyard! Use #NationalBackyardDay to share photos and stories on social media. ZYRTEC officially designated March 19, 2021, as the first-ever National Backyard Day as they committed 50K USD to The Conservation Fund's Parks With Purpose program to support their partnership with neighborhood residents to transform neglected green spaces into vibrant parks, community gardens, and more, providing additional spaces for urban communities to enjoy what's right in their own neighborhood.

March 19: National Let's Laugh Day: -- An annual reminder to us to add a little humor to our day! It's never good to be serious all the time and letting the laughter bubble up from time to time is good for all of us! We have all heard the saying, "Laughter is the best medicine." This is the day to take your medicine. Some studies have shown that laughter may boost your immune system, relieve tension and help you relax. Who does not need any of those things in our busy and hectic world? "Laugh at yourself first, before anyone else can." - Elsa Maxwell. "We don't laugh because we're happy - we're happy because we laugh." - William James. As we all know, laughter can also be contagious. Even faking it seems to have some benefits. Classes called "laughter yoga" engage the abdominal muscles, lungs, arms, and facial muscles while using humor to get us laughing to cure what ails us. When you and a friend have those long bouts of uncontrolled laughter that end in tears and aching stomach muscles that last a good 10 minutes or longer, you burn between 10-40 calories per 10 minutes. So, keep giving each other those don't-look-at-me-or-I'll-start-laughing-again looks and you'll keep right on burning more laugh-healthy calories and you'll enjoy a good memory, too! So try adding a laughing baby ringtone to your phone. Use humor to make someone's day. Educators, visit the National Day Calendar Classroom for more fun ways to celebrate the day, too! Take some time to laugh, and use #LetsLaughDay to post on social media. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT! https://store.earthstation1.com/fubustlistco.html

Nurses can also obtain sub-specialty certifications. Certified nurses provide skilled experience in the medical fields where they work. They also improve the quality of the health care provided. Now, more than ever, health care needs more qualified nurses providing the care that we need. So thank a certified nurse for all they do. If you know someone who is striving to become a certified nurse, encourage them in their endeavors. Encourage certified nurses to attend job fairs to share their experiences and inspire others to become certified nurses. Consider taking a certification you've had your eye on.

Today, March 19, 2026

March 19: St. Joseph's Day: -- Saint Joseph's Day, also called the Feast of Saint Joseph or the Solemnity of Saint Joseph, in Western Christianity the principal feast day of Saint Joseph, husband of the Virgin Mary and legal father of Jesus Christ. It has the rank of a solemnity in the Catholic Church. It is a feast or commemoration in the provinces of the Anglican Communion, and a feast or festival in the Lutheran Church. Saint Joseph's Day is the Patronal Feast day for Poland as well as for Canada, persons named Joseph, Josephine, etc., for religious institutes, schools and parishes bearing his name, and for carpenters. It is also Father's Day in some Catholic countries, mainly Spain, Portugal, and Italy. It is not a holy day of obligation for Catholics in the United States. March 19 was dedicated to Saint Joseph in several Western calendars by the 10th century, and this custom was established in Rome by 1479. Joseph, a carpenter by profession, was a descendant of the house of King David. He married Mary and found that she was already pregnant. Being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, he decided to divorce her quietly. However, an angel convinced him that she was conceived by the holy spirit and that the child in her womb was the Son of God. This is where the story of St. Joseph starts. Joseph's exit from the story of the Gospels is an unexplainable mystery in the scripture. But various traditions say that Joseph died around Jesus' 20th birthday. Since the 10th century, several Western countries celebrated March 19 as the Feast of St. Joseph. The feast day became the official practice of the Church in the 1500s. Joseph is a patron of many things. He is the patron of a happy death, families, the Universal Church, fathers, expectant mothers, travelers, craftsmen, immigrants, workers, and engineers. He is also the patron of many countries including the Americas, Canada, Croatia, Mexico, Korea, Austria, Belgium, Peru, the Philippines, and Vietnam. Despite knowing so little about Joseph, he has two feast days in the Western Church. The Solemnity of St. Joseph, or St. Joseph Day, falls on March 19. There is also another feast day for St. Joseph - the feast of St. Joseph the Worker falls on May 1. He is also included in the feast of the Holy Family on December 30.

March 19, 1702 [O.S.: March 8, 1702]: #BOTD: #HBD! William III Of England, also known as William III And I, third Prince Of Orange and Third King Of England named William, Second King Of Scotland called William, also known as William Of Orange, sovereign Prince Of Orange from birth, Stadtholder (Dutch: "Steward", i.e. National Leader) Of Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Guelders, And Overijssel in the Dutch Republic from the 1670s, who ruled Great Britain and Ireland as King Of England, Ireland, And Scotland with his wife, Queen Mary II, and whose joint reign is known as that of William And Mary from 1689 until his death (b. November 14, 1650 [O.S.: November 4, 1650]) #dies aged 51 in Kensington Palace, Middlesex, England of pneumonia, a complication from a broken collarbone following a fall from his horse, Sorrel. It was rumoured that the horse had been confiscated from Sir John Fenwick, one of the Jacobites who had conspired against William. Because his horse had stumbled into a mole's burrow, many Jacobites toasted "the little gentleman in the black velvet waistcoat". Years later, Winston Churchill, in his A History of the English-Speaking Peoples, stated that the fall "opened the door to a troop of lurking foes". William was buried in Westminster Abbey alongside his wife. His sister-in-law and cousin, Anne, became queen regnant of England, Scotland and Ireland, and William was succeeded as titular Prince of Orange by his cousin John William Friso. William's death meant that he would remain the only member of the Dutch House of Orange to reign over England. Members of this House had served as stadtholder of Holland and the majority of the other provinces of the Dutch Republic since the time of William the Silent (William I). The five provinces of which William III was stadtholder-Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Gelderland, and Overijssel-all suspended the office after his death. Thus, he was the last patrilineal descendant of William I to be named stadtholder for the majority of the provinces. Under William III's will, John William Friso stood to inherit the Principality of Orange as well as several lordships in the Netherlands. He was William's closest agnatic relative ( the firstborn legitimate child to inherit the parent's entire or main estate in preference to shared inheritance among all or some children), as well as grandson of William's aunt Henriette Catherine. However, Frederick I of Prussia also claimed the Principality as the senior cognatic heir, his mother Louise Henriette being Henriette Catherine's older sister. Under the Treaty of Utrecht (1713), Frederick I's successor, Frederick William I of Prussia, ceded his territorial claim to Louis XIV, keeping only a claim to the title. Friso's posthumous son, William IV, succeeded to the title at his birth in 1711; in the Treaty of Partition (1732), William IV agreed to share the title "Prince Of Orange" with Frederick William. William III Of England was #born Willem Hendrik Orange-Nassau (English: William Henry Orange-Nassau) in Binnenhof, The Hague, Dutch Republic. William was the only child of William II, Prince of Orange, and Mary, Princess Royal, the daughter of King Charles I of England, Scotland, and Ireland. His father died a week before his birth, making William III the prince of Orange from birth. In 1677, he married his first cousin Mary, the elder daughter of his maternal uncle James, Duke of York, the younger brother and later successor of King Charles II. A Protestant, William participated in several wars against the powerful Catholic French ruler Louis XIV in coalition with both Protestant and Catholic powers in Europe. Many Protestants heralded William as a champion of their faith. In 1685, his Catholic uncle and father-in-law, James, became king of England, Scotland, and Ireland. James's reign was unpopular with Protestants in the British Isles, who opposed Catholic Emancipation. Supported by a group of influential British political and religious leaders, William invaded England in what became known as the Glorious Revolution. In 1688, he landed at the south-western English port of Brixham; James was deposed shortly afterward. William's reputation as a staunch Protestant enabled him and his wife to take power. During the early years of his reign, William was occupied abroad with the Nine Years' War (1688-1697), leaving Mary to govern Britain alone. Mary II died of smallpox on December 28, 1694, aged 32, leaving William III to rule alone. William deeply mourned his wife's death. Despite his conversion to Anglicanism, William's popularity in England plummeted during his reign as a sole monarch. During the 1690s, rumours grew of William's alleged homosexual inclinations and led to the publication of many satirical pamphlets by his Jacobite detractors. In 1696 the Jacobites, a faction loyal to the deposed James, hatched the unsuccessful 1696 Jacobite Assassination Plot to assassinate William and restore King James II And VII Of England And Ireland to the throne. In Scotland, William's role in ordering The Massacre Of Glencoem, in which an estimated 30 members and associates of Clan MacDonald Of Glencoe were killed by English government forces for allegedly failing to pledge allegiance to William And Mary, remains notorious. William's lack of children and the death in 1700 of his nephew the Duke of Gloucester, the son of his sister-in-law Anne, threatened the Protestant succession. The danger was averted by placing William and Mary's cousins, the Protestant Hanoverians, in line to the throne after Anne with the Act of Settlement 1701.

March 19, 1813: #BOTD: #HBD! David Livingstone, Scottish physician, Congregationalist, pioneer Christian missionary with the London Missionary Society, an explorer in Africa who was one of the most popular British heroes of the late 19th-century Victorian era, famous for having been greeted on the shores of Lake Tanganyika by New York Herald journalist Henry Morton Stanley who had been sent to find him with the words "Dr Livingstone, I presume?" (d. May 1, 1873) is #born in the mill town of Blantyre, Scotland, in a tenement building for the workers of a cotton factory on the banks of the River Clyde under the bridge crossing into Bothwell. He had a mythic status that operated on a number of interconnected levels: Protestant missionary martyr, working-class "rags-to-riches" inspirational story, scientific investigator and explorer, imperial reformer, anti-slavery crusader, and advocate of British commercial and colonial expansion. Livingstone's fame as an explorer and his obsession with learning the sources of the Nile River was founded on the belief that if he could solve that age-old mystery, his fame would give him the influence to end the East African Arab-Swahili slave trade. "The Nile sources", he told a friend, "are valuable only as a means of opening my mouth with power among men. It is this power which I hope to remedy an immense evil." His subsequent exploration of the central African watershed was the culmination of the classic period of European geographical discovery and colonial penetration of Africa. At the same time, his missionary travels, "disappearance", and eventual death in Africa?-?and subsequent glorification as a posthumous national hero in 1874?-?led to the founding of several major central African Christian missionary initiatives carried forward in the era of the European "Scramble for Africa". David Livingstone died at the age of 60 in Chief Chitambo's village at Ilala, southeast of Lake Bangweulu, in present-day Zambia, from malaria and internal bleeding due to dysentery. His loyal attendants Chuma and Susi removed his heart and buried it under a tree near the spot where he died, which has been identified variously as a mvula tree or a baobab tree. That site, now known as the Livingstone Memorial, lists his date of death as May 4, the date reported (and carved into the tree's trunk) by Chuma and Susi; but most sources consider May 1, the date of Livingstone's final journal entry, as the correct one. The rest of his remains are buried in Westminster Abbey, Westminster, City of Westminster, Greater London, England.

January 13, 1929) is #born Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp in Monmouth, Illinois. Wyatt Earp became a legendary figure in the Wild West as a lawman and gunfighter, best known for the October 26, 1881 shoot-out at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona, which occurred between the feuding Clanton and Earp families. Wyatt Earp, two of his brothers and "Doc" Holliday gunned down two Clantons and two others.

Corral was a 30-second shootout between lawmen and members of a loosely organized group of outlaws called the Cowboys that took place at about 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 26, 1881 in Tombstone, Arizona Territory.

March 19, 1849: #BOTD: Alfred von Tirpitz, Polish-German grand admiral, Secretary Of State of the German Imperial Naval Office, the powerful administrative branch of the German Imperial Navy from 1897 until 1916 (d. March 6, 1930) is #born Alfred Peter Friedrich von Tirpitz, Kustrin, Province of Brandenburg, Prussia (today Kostrzyn, Poland). Prussia never had a major navy, nor did the other German states before the German Empire was formed in 1871. Tirpitz took the modest Imperial Navy (German: Kaiserliche Marine) and, starting in the 1890s, turned it into a world-class force that could threaten Britain's Royal Navy. However, during World War I, his High Seas Fleet proved unable to end Britain's command of the sea and its chokehold on Germany's economy. The one great engagement at sea, the Battle Of Jutland, ended in a narrow German tactical victory but a strategic failure. As the High Seas Fleet's limitations became increasingly apparent during the war, Tirpitz became an outspoken advocate for unrestricted submarine warfare, a policy which would ultimately bring Germany into conflict with the United States. By the beginning of 1916, he was dismissed from office and never regained power. The German battleship Tirpitz, the second of two Bismarck-class battleships built for Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine (navy) prior to and during the Second World War, was named after Grand Admiral Tirpitz. Alfred von Tirpitz died of undisclosed causes in Ebenhausen, Bavaria, near Munich, aged 80. He is buried in The Munich Waldfriedhof, considered the first woodland cemetery (a cemetery where the original landscape, with existing trees, is given much influence on the landscape architecture of the cemetery) one of the largest and most famous of the 29 cemeteries of Munich, known for its park-like design and tombs of notable personalities.

March 19, 1860: #BOTD: #HBD! William Jennings Bryan, American orator and politician from Nebraska (d. July 26, 1925) is #born in Salem, Illinois. Beginning in 1896, he emerged as a dominant force in the Democratic Party, standing three times as the party's nominee for President of the United States. He also served in the United States House Of Representatives and as the United States Secretary Of State under Woodrow Wilson. Because of his faith in the wisdom of the common people, he was often called "The Great Commoner". He won election to the U.S. House of Representatives in the 1890 elections, serving two terms before his defeat in the 1894 Senate elections. At the 1896 Democratic National Convention, Bryan delivered his "Cross Of Gold speech" which attacked the gold standard and the eastern moneyed interests, electrifying the delegates by declaring "You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns. You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold!". He advocated a "free silver" monetary standard through unlimited coinage of silver rather than the gold standard. In a repudiation of incumbent President Grover Cleveland and his conservative Bourbon Democrats, the Democratic convention nominated Bryan for president, making Bryan the youngest major party presidential nominee in U.S. history. He was 36 years old at the time, one year older than the minimum age limit of 35. A supporter of bimetallism, Bryan was also nominated by the Populist Party and the Silver Republican Party. In the intensely fought 1896 presidential election, Republican nominee William McKinley emerged triumphant. With over 500 speeches in 1896, Bryan invented the national stumping tour in an era when other presidential candidates stayed home. Bryan retained control of the Democratic Party and won the presidential nomination again in 1900. In the aftermath of the Spanish-American War, Bryan became a fierce opponent of American imperialism, and much of the campaign centered on that issue. In the election, McKinley again defeated Bryan, winning several Western states that Bryan had won in 1896. Bryan's influence in the party weakened after the 1900 election, and the Democrats nominated the conservative Alton B. Parker in the 1904 presidential election. Bryan won his party's nomination in the 1908 presidential election, but he was defeated by William Howard Taft. After the Democrats won the presidency in the 1912 election, Wilson rewarded Bryan's support with the important cabinet position of Secretary Of State. After the Lusitania was torpedoed by a German submarine in 1915, Wilson made strong demands on Germany that Bryan disagreed with, as he hoped to avoid entering World War I. Bryan resigned from office in 1915, and the United States entered the war two years later. Bryan remained active in public life, supporting Wilson's re-election and advocating for the enactment of Prohibition. He also became a promoter of Florida real estate, contributing to the Florida land boom of the 1920s. He opposed Darwinism on religious and humanitarian grounds, most famously at the Scopes Trial in 1925 in Tennessee. Five days after the conclusion of the Scopes case, which he won, Bryan died in his sleep of apoplexy (hemorrhagic stroke) in Dayton, Tennessee aged 65, five days after the conclusion of the Scopes Trial, which he won. Bryan's body was transported by rail from Dayton to Washington, D.C. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery, with an epitaph that read, "Statesman, yet Friend to Truth! Of Soul Sincere, in Action Faithful, and in Honor Clear", and on the other side "He Kept the Faith".

Today, March 19, 2026

March 19, 1883: #BOTD: #HBD! Joseph Stilwell, United States Army general who served in the China Burma India Theater during World War II (d. October 12, 1946) is #born Joseph Warren Stilwell in Palatka, Florida. His caustic personality was reflected in the nickname "Vinegar Joe". Although distrustful of his Allies, Stilwell showed himself to be a capable and daring tactician in the field but a lack of resources meant he was continually forced to improvise. He famously differed as to strategy, ground troops versus air power, with his subordinate, Claire Chennault, who had the ear of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. General George Marshall, the Army Chief Of Staff, acknowledged he had given Stilwell "one of the most difficult" assignments of any theater commander. In acknowledgment of Stilwell' efforts, the Ledo Road was later renamed the Stilwell Road by Chiang Kai-shek. The Ledo Road, also known as the Burma-Ledo Road, was built during World War II so that the Western Allies could supply the Chinese as an alternative to the Burma Road, which had been cut by the Japanese in 1942. It was renamed the Stilwell Road after General Stilwell of the U.S. Army in early 1945 at the suggestion of Chiang Kai-shek in recognition of the his difficult and complex military successes that allowed the road to be built. Joseph Stilwell died after surgery for stomach cancer at the Presidio of San Francisco, aged 63. He was still on active duty and five months short of reaching the army's mandatory retirement age of 64. He was cremated, his ashes were scattered on the Pacific Ocean, and a cenotaph was placed at the West Point Cemetery. Among his military decorations are the Distinguished Service Cross, Distinguished Service Medal with one Oak Leaf Cluster, the Legion of Merit degree of Commander, the Bronze Star, and the Combat Infantryman Badge; the last award was given to him as he was dying of cardiac arrest at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C., later dying at 8:10 p.m. on July 9, 1974 at the age of 83. He had been hospitalized since July 2 due to congestive heart failure and coronary insufficiency. On that same day, he was visited by Justices Brennan and Douglas, until 5:30 p.m. Warren could not resist asking his friends whether the Court would order President Nixon to release the sixty-four tapes demanded by the Watergate investigation. Both justices assured him that the court had voted unanimously in United States v. Nixon for the release of the tapes. Relieved, Warren died just a few hours later, safe in the knowledge that the Court he had so loved would force justice on the man who had been his most bitter foe; Warren had closely followed investigations into the Watergate scandal and the Nixon administration's subsequent attempts to cover up that break-in, confirming Warren's low regard for him, privately stating that Nixon was "perhaps the most despicable president that this country has ever had." Warren had his wife and one of his daughters, Nina Elizabeth Brien, at his bedside when he passed away.

March 19, 1894: #BOTD: #HBD! Moms Mabley, African American standup comedian, actress, and singer (d. May 23, 1975) is #born Loretta Mary Aiken in Brevard, North Carolina. Known by her stage name Jackie "Moms" Mabley, was a veteran of the Chitlin' Circuit of African American vaudeville, and later she appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show and The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. At the encouragement of her grandmother, Loretta ran away to Cleveland, Ohio, joining a traveling vaudeville-style minstrel show starring Butterbeans and Susie, where she sang and entertained. She took her stage name, Jackie Mabley, from an early boyfriend, commenting to Ebony in a 1970s interview that he had taken so much from her, it was the least she could do to take his name. Later she became known as "Moms" because she was indeed a mother figure to many other comedians on the circuit in the 1950s and 1960s. She came out as a lesbian at the age of twenty-seven, becoming one of the first openly gay comedians. During the 1920s and 1930s she appeared in androgynous clothing (as she did in the film version of The Emperor Jones with Paul Robeson) and recorded several of her early "lesbian stand-up" routines. Mabley was one of the most successful entertainers of the Chitlin' circuit, another name for T.O.B.A., or Theater Owners Booking Association. T.O.B.A., sometimes called the "Tough On Black Asses Circuit", was the segregated organization for which Mabley performed until the organization dissolved during the Great Depression. Despite Mabley's popularity, wages for black women in show business were meager. Nonetheless, she persisted for more than sixty years. At the height of her career, she was earning 10K USD a week at Harlem's Apollo Theater. She made her New York City debut at Connie's Inn in Harlem. In the 1960s, she became known to a wider white audience, playing Carnegie Hall in 1962, and making a number of mainstream TV appearances, particularly her multiple appearances on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour when that CBS show was number one on television in the late 1960s, which introduced her to a whole new Boomer audience. Mabley was billed as "The Funniest Woman in the World". She tackled topics too edgy for most mainstream comics of the time, including racism. One of her regular themes was a romantic interest in handsome young men rather than old "washed-up geezers", and she got away with it courtesy of her stage persona, where she appeared as a toothless, bedraggled woman in a house dress and floppy hat. She also added the occasional satirical song to her jokes, and her (completely serious and melancholy) cover version of "Abraham, Martin and John" hit #35 on the Billboard Hot 100 on July 19, 1969. At 75 years old, Mabley became the oldest living person ever to have a US Top 40 hit (Louis Armstrong, who would have been 86 when "What a Wonderful World" became a hit in 1988, is the oldest overall, although Armstrong was younger than Mabley when the record was made). She died from heart failure in White Plains, New York on May 23, 1975. She is interred at Ferncliff Cemetery, Hartsdale, New York.

March 19, 1895: Great Inventions: Film (Motion Pictures): The Cinematograph (The Kinematograph): -- Auguste and Louis Lumiere record their first footage using their newly patented cinematograph, an early term for several types of motion picture film mechanisms. The name was used for movie cameras as well as film projectors, or for complete systems that also provided means to print films (such as the Cinematographe Lumiere). A device by this name was invented and patented as the "Cinematographe Leon Bouly" by French inventor Leon Bouly on February 12, 1892. Bouly coined the term "cinematograph," from the Greek for "writing in movement." Due to a lack of money, Bouly could not develop his ideas properly and maintain his patent fees, so the Lumiere brothers were free to adopt the name. In 1895, they applied it to a device that was mostly their own invention. The Lumiere brothers made their first film, Workers Leaving the Lumiere Factory (Sortie de l'usine Lumiere de Lyon), that same year. The first commercial, public screening of cinematographic films happened on 20 May 1895 at 156 Broadway, New York City, when the "Eidoloscope", invented by Woodville Latham and Eugene Lauste was presented. Nonetheless, this has often been incorrectly attributed to the first Lumiere show on 28 December 1895 at Salon Indien du Grand Cafe in Paris, which was organised by the Lumiere brothers. This presentation featured ten short films, including a new version of Workers Leaving the Lumiere Factory. Each of these early films was 17 meters long (approximately 56 feet), which, when hand cranked through a projector, ran approximately 50 seconds. Louis Lumiere and his brother Auguste worked together to create a motion-picture camera superior to Thomas Edison's kinetograph, which did not have a projector. The Lumieres endeavored to correct the flaws they perceived in the kinetograph and the kinetoscope, to develop a machine with both sharper images and better illumination. The Cinematographe weighed only 16 lb (7.3 kg), which allowed for ease of transportation and placement. As well, the Cinematographe was manually operated by a hand-crank, as opposed to Edison's electrically powered camera, which was not readily portable. Furthermore, while only one person at a time could use Edison's kinetoscope for viewing through an eyepiece-- an early model of a viewfinder. The Cinematographe could project an image onto a screen so a large audience of people could view images simultaneously. The Cinematographe produced a sharper projected image than had been seen before due to its design, in which a kind of fork held frames behind the lens in place using the perforations in the sides of the film strip. In 1897, the Lumieres further added to their invention by using a glass flask of water as the condenser to concentrate the light onto the film frame and to absorb heat. The flask also acted as a safety feature, as the light would no longer focus on the flammable film if the glass were to break due to overheating or accident. After the success of the Lumieres's initial public screening in 1895, the Cinematographe became a popular attraction for people all over the world. The Lumiere brothers took their machine to China and India and it was enjoyed by people of all classes and social standings. The Cinematographe was used to show films in nickelodeons, where even the poorest classes could pay the entry fee. It was exhibited at fairs and used as entertainment in vaudeville houses in both Europe and the United States. While vaudeville is typically associated with the working and middle classes, the machine also found its way into more sophisticated venues, where it appealed to the artistic tastes of high society.

March 19, 1905: #BOTD: Albert Speer, German architect and author who was, for most of World War II, Reich Minister of Armaments and War Production for Nazi Germany (d. September 1, 1981) is #born Berthold Konrad Hermann Albert Speer in Mannheim, Grand Duchy of Baden, German Empire into an upper-middle-class family. Albert Speer was Adolf Hitler's chief architect before assuming ministerial office. As "the Nazi who said sorry", he accepted moral responsibility at the Nuremberg trials and in his memoirs for complicity in crimes of the Nazi regime, while insisting he had been ignorant of the Holocaust. Speer joined the Nazi Party in 1931, launching himself on a political and governmental career which lasted fourteen years. His architectural skills made him increasingly prominent within the Party and he became a member of Hitler's inner circle. Hitler instructed him to design and construct structures including the Reich Chancellery and the Zeppelinfeld stadium in Nuremberg where Party rallies were held. Speer also made plans to reconstruct Berlin on a grand scale, with huge buildings, wide boulevards, and a reorganized transportation system. In February 1942, Hitler appointed him as Reich Minister of Armaments and War Production. After the war, he was tried at Nuremberg and sentenced to 20 years in prison for his role in the Nazi regime, principally for the use of forced labor. Despite repeated attempts to gain early release, he served his full sentence, most of it at Spandau Prison in West Berlin. Following his release in 1966, Speer published two bestselling autobiographical works, Inside the Third Reich and Spandau: The Secret Diaries, detailing his close personal relationship with Hitler, and providing readers and historians with a unique perspective on the workings of the Nazi regime. He wrote a third book, Infiltration, about the SS. Speer died of a stroke while on a visit to London, aged 76.

March 19, 1906: #BOTD: Adolf Eichmann, German Nazi SS-Obersturmbannfuehrer (lieutenant colonel) and one of the major organizers of the Holocaust (d. June 1, 1962) is #born Otto Adolf Eichmann to a Calvinist Protestant family in Solingen, Germany. Adolf Eichmann was tasked by SS-Obergruppenfuehrer (general/lieutenant general) Reinhard Heydrich with facilitating and managing the logistics involved in the mass deportation of Jews to ghettos and extermination camps in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe during World War II. In 1960, he was captured in Argentina by the Mossad, Israel's intelligence service. He was found guilty of war crimes in a widely publicised trial in Israel, and was hanged in 1962. He joined both the Nazi Party and the SS in 1932, and in 1933, he joined the Sicherheitsdienst (SD; Security Service) the intelligence agency of the SS and the Nazi Party in Nazi Germany; there he was appointed head of the department responsible for Jewish affairs - especially emigration, which the Nazis encouraged through violence and economic pressure. After the outbreak of the Second World War in September 1939, Eichmann and his staff arranged for Jews to be concentrated in ghettos in major cities with the expectation that they would be transported either farther east or overseas. He also drew up plans for a Jewish reservation, first at Nisko in southeast Poland and later in Madagascar, but neither of these plans was ever carried out. When the Nazis began the invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, their Jewish policy changed from emigration to extermination. To coordinate planning for the genocide, Heydrich hosted the regime's administrative leaders at the Wannsee Conference on 20 January 1942. Eichmann collected information for him, attended the conference, and prepared the minutes. Eichmann and his staff became responsible for Jewish deportations to extermination camps, where the victims were gassed. Germany invaded Hungary in March 1944, and Eichmann oversaw the deportation of much of the Jewish population. Most of the victims were sent to Auschwitz concentration camp, where 75 to 90 per cent were murdered upon arrival. By the time that the transports were stopped in July 1944, 437,000 of Hungary's 725,000 Jews had been killed. Historian Richard J. Evans estimates that between 5.5 and 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazis. Eichmann said towards the end of the war that he would "leap laughing into the grave because the feeling that he had five million people on his conscience would be for him a source of extraordinary satisfaction." After Germany's defeat in 1945, Eichmann fled to Austria. He lived there until 1950, when he moved to Argentina using false papers. Information collected by the Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, confirmed his location in 1960. A team of Mossad and Shin Bet agents captured Eichmann and brought him to Israel to stand trial on 15 criminal charges, including war crimes, crimes against humanity, and crimes against the Jewish people. During the trial, he did not deny the truth of the Holocaust or his role in organising it, but claimed that he was simply following orders in a totalitarian Fuehrerprinzip system. He was found guilty on many of the charges and was sentenced to death by hanging. He died aged 56 when was executed at Ayalon Prison, Ramla, Israel, and his cremains were scattered in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Israel. The trial was widely followed in the media and was later the subject of several books, including Hannah Arendt's work Eichmann in Jerusalem, in which Arendt coined the phrase "the banality of evil" to describe Eichmann.

March 19, 1912: #BOTD: Adolf Galland, German Luftwaffe general and flying ace who served throughout the Second World War in Europe (d. February 9, 1996) is #born Adolf Josef Ferdinand Galland in Westerholt (now Herten), Province of Westphalia, Kingdom of Prussia, German Empire to a family with French Huguenot ancestry. He flew 705 combat missions, and fought on the Western Front and in the Defence of the Reich (Reichsverteidigung) aerial campaign. On four occasions, he survived being shot down, and he was credited with 104 aerial victories, all of them against the Western Allies. Galland, who was born in Westerholt, Westphalia became a glider pilot in 1929 before he joined Lufthansa. In 1932, he graduated as a pilot at the Deutsche Verkehrsfliegerschule (German Commercial Flyers' School) in Braunschweig before applying to join the Reichswehr of the Weimar Republic later in the year. Galland's application was accepted, but he never took up the offer. In February 1934, he was transferred to the Luftwaffe. In 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, he volunteered for the Condor Legion and flew ground attack missions in support of the Nationalists under Francisco Franco. After finishing his tour in 1938 Galland was employed in the Air Ministry writing doctrinal and technical manuals about his experiences as a ground-attack pilot. During this period Galland served as an instructor for ground-attack units. During the German Invasion Of Poland in September 1939, he again flew ground attack missions. In early 1940, Galland managed to persuade his superiors to allow him to become a fighter pilot. Galland flew Messerschmitt Bf 109s during the Battle Of France and the Battle Of Britain. By the end of 1940, his tally of victories had reached 57. In 1941, Galland stayed in France and fought the Royal Air Force (RAF) over the English Channel and Northern France. By November 1941, his tally had increased to 96, by which time he had earned the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords. In November 1941, Werner Molders, who commanded the German Fighter Force as the General der Jagdflieger, was killed in a flying accident and Galland succeeded him, staying in the position until January 1945. As General der Jagdflieger, Galland was forbidden to fly combat missions. In late January and early February 1942, Galland first planned and then commanded the Luftwaffe's air cover for the Kriegsmarine Operation Cerberus, which was a major success. It earned him the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds. Over the ensuing years, Galland's disagreements with Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering about how best to combat the Allied Air Forces bombing of Germany caused their relationship to deteriorate. The Luftwaffe fighter force was under severe pressure by 1944, and Galland was blamed by Goering for the failure to prevent the Allied strategic bombing of Germany in daylight. The relationship collapsed altogether in early January 1945, when Galland was relieved of his command because of his constant criticism of the Luftwaffe leadership. Galland was then put under house arrest following the so-called Fighter Pilots' Revolt, an insurrection of a group of high-ranking Luftwaffe pilots in which senior fighter pilots threatened suicide over Goering's conduct of the air war and Hitler's orders not to use the Me-262 jet as a fighter. As a result of the Figher Pilots Revolt Incident, Galland returned to operational flying and was permitted to form a jet fighter unit in March 1945, which he called Jagdverband 44. He flew missions over Germany until the end of the war in May. After the war, Galland was employed by Argentina's Government and acted as a consultant to the Argentine Air Force. Later, he returned to Germany and managed his own business. Galland also became friends with many former enemies, such as RAF aces Robert Stanford Tuck and Douglas Bader. Adolf Galland died at 1:15 in the morning of a Friday in Oberwinter, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. His body was buried at the Cementerio in Oberwinter on February 21. A memorial service was held on March 31 at the St. Laurentius Church in Auerbach, a town in the Vogtlandkreis, Saxony, Germany.

March 19, 1918: Time: Time In The United States: Time Zones: Time Zones In The United States: Standard Time: Standard Time In The United States: Daylight Saving Time (DST, Daylight Savings Time, Daylight Time, Summer Time): The Standard Time Act (An Act To Save Daylight And To Provide Standard Time For The United States, The Standard Time Act Of 1918, The Calder Act): -- The Standard Time Act, the first United States federal law implementing Standard time and Daylight saving time in the United States, goes into effect after being enacted by The 65th United States Congress. It defined five time zones for the continental United States and authorized the Interstate Commerce Commission to define the limits of each time zone. The section concerning daylight saving time was repealed by the act titled An Act For the repeal of the daylight-saving law, Pub. L.Tooltip Public Law (United States) 66-40, 41 Stat. 280, enacted August 20, 1919, over President Woodrow Wilson's veto. A time zone is an area that observes a uniform standard time for legal, commercial and social purposes. Time zones tend to follow the boundaries between countries and their subdivisions instead of strictly following longitude, because it is convenient for areas in frequent communication to keep the same time. All time zones are defined as offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), ranging from UTC-12:00 to UTC+14:00. The offsets are usually a whole number of hours, but a few zones are offset by additional 30 or 45 minutes, such as in India and Nepal. Some areas of higher latitude use daylight saving time for part of the year, typically by adding one hour to local time during spring and summer. In the United States, Daylight Saving Time, when clocks "spring forward" from their Daylight Standard Time setting, went through numerous changes regarding its beginning and ending dates. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 gave the U.S. its current start and stop dates for standard time and daylight saving time: Daylight saving time starts at 2 AM on the second Sunday in March, and ends at 2 AM on the first Sunday in November. Standard time resumes at 2 AM on the first Sunday in November and ends at 2 AM on the second Sunday in March. That gives most states about 7.5 months of daylight saving time and 4.5 months of standard time. The correct spelling and pronunciation of the term is "daylight saving time," not "daylight savings time." Standard time is the synchronization of clocks within a geographical area or region to a single time standard, rather than using solar time or a locally chosen meridian (longitude) to establish a local mean time standard. Generally, standard time agrees with the local mean time at some meridian that passes through the region, often near the center of the region. Historically, the concept was established during the 19th century to aid weather forecasting and train travel. Applied globally in the 20th century, the geographical areas became extended around evenly spaced meridians into time zones which (usually) centered on them. The standard time set in each time zone has come to be defined in terms of offsets from Universal Time. In regions where daylight saving time is used, that time is defined by another offset, from the standard time in its applicable time zones. The adoption of standard time, because of the inseparable correspondence between time and longitude, solidified the concepts of halving the globe into an eastern and western hemisphere, with one prime meridian (as well its opposite International Date Line) replacing the various prime meridians that had previously been used.

March 19, 1919: #BOTD: #HBD! Lennie Tristano, American pianist, composer, arranger and jazz improvisation educator (d. November 18, 1978) is #born Leonard Joseph Tristano in Chicago. Tristano studied for bachelor's and master's degrees in music in Chicago before moving to New York City in 1946. He played with leading bebop musicians and formed his own small bands, which soon displayed some of his early interests - contrapuntal interaction of instruments, harmonic flexibility, and rhythmic complexity. His quintet in 1949 recorded the first free group improvisations. Tristano's innovations continued in 1951, with the first overdubbed, improvised jazz recordings, and two years later, when he recorded an atonal improvised solo piano piece that was based on the development of motifs rather than on harmonies. He developed further via polyrhythms and chromaticism into the 1960s, but was infrequently recorded. Tristano started teaching music, especially improvisation, in the early 1940s, and by the mid-1950s was concentrating on teaching in preference to performing. He taught in a structured and disciplined manner, which was unusual in jazz education when he began. His educational role over three decades meant that he exerted an influence on jazz through his students, including saxophonists Lee Konitz and Warne Marsh. Musicians and critics vary in their appraisal of Tristano as a musician. Some describe his playing as cold and suggest that his innovations had little impact; others state that he was a bridge between bebop and later, freer forms of jazz, and assert that he is less appreciated than he should be because commentators found him hard to categorize and because he chose not to commercialize. Lennie Tristano died of a heart attack at home in Jamaica, New York, aged 59. His burial details are not publicly disclosed.

March 19, 1920: The Aftermath Of World War I: The Paris Peace Conference (1919-1920) (The Versailles Peace Conference [1919-1920]): The Treaty Of Versailles: The United States Senate Rejection Of The Treaty Of Versailles: The United States Senate's Second Rejection Of The Treaty Of Versailles: -- The United States Senate rejects the Treaty Of Versailles for the second and final time by a vote of 49-35, falling seven votes short of a two-thirds majority needed for approval; the first time the United States Senate rejected it was on November 19, 1919. The Treaty of Versailles was a formal peace treaty between the World War I Allies and Germany. The leaders of the "Big Four" Allies (Britain, France, Italy and the United States) met in Paris in early 1919 to draft the treaty. President Woodrow Wilson presented his Fourteen Points, a series of measures intended to ensure future peace. The points included the formation of an international organization known as the League of Nations (similar to the modern United Nations), which was adopted in the treaty. Representatives of each country signed the treaty in June 1919. For the United States to accept its conditions, however, it had to be ratified by Congress. The Senate majority leader, Henry Cabot Lodge, a Republican from Massachusetts, opposed the treaty, specifically the section regarding the League of Nations. He argued that the United States would give up too much power under the League of Nations, so he drafted 14 reservations - to match President Wilson's Fourteen Points. Mr. Lodge's proposal reduced the control the league would have over the United States. There was also a faction of the Senate known as the "irreconcilables," led by William Borah, who opposed the Treaty of Versailles with or without the reservations. On Nov. 19, 1919, the Senate voted on the treaty, first on a version with the 14 Lodge reservations. President Wilson ordered his supporters to vote against that version and, with the irreconcilables also voting against it, it fell short of a two-thirds majority by a 55-39 vote. A second vote on a version without the reservations ended in a similar 53-38 vote, this time with the Cabot Republicans and the irreconcilables forming the opposition. The vote of March 19, 1920, held on a version with reservations, was the final vote on the treaty. The March 20 New York Times reported, "After the session ended senators of both parties united in declaring that in their opinion the treaty was now dead to stay dead." In place of the Treaty of Versailles, in 1921 Congress passed a resolution, known as the Knox-Porter Resolution, to formally end the war with Germany. The United States would never join the League of Nations, which was just one of several problems the organization would have in building power and credibility. The League of Nations failed in its goal to maintain peace, as World War II broke out just 20 years after its founding.

March 19, 1928: #BOTD: #HBD! Patrick McGoohan, Irish-American actor of film, television, and theatre, screenwriter, film director and film producer (d. January 13, 2009) is #born Patrick Joseph McGoohan in Astoria, Queens, New York to Irish Catholic immigrant parents Thomas McGoohan and Rose McGoohan (nee Fitzpatrick). Soon after he was born, the family returned to Ireland, settling in the Mullaghmore area of Carrigallen, County Leitrim. Seven years later, they relocated to England, settling in Sheffield, West Riding of Yorkshire. He began his career in the United Kingdom in the 1950s, relocating to the United States in the 1970s. His career-defining roles were in the British television series Danger Man (known in the US as Secret Agent) and the surreal psychological drama The Prisoner, considered by some the greatest television series ever produced, which he co-created. During the height of Danger Man's fame in the 1960s, McGoohan was the highest-paid actor on British television. Beginning in the 1970s, McGoohan maintained a long-running association with the television series Columbo, writing, directing, producing and appearing in several episodes. His notable film roles included David Jones in Ice Station Zebra (1968); James Stewart, 1st Earl of Moray in Mary, Queen of Scots (1971); the Warden in Escape from Alcatraz (1979); Dr. Paul Ruth in Scanners (1981); Edward I of England in Braveheart (1995); Judge Omar Noose in A Time to Kill (1996); and the voice of Billy Bones in Treasure Planet (2002). McGoohan won the 1960 BAFTA Television Award for Best Actor for his work on Danger Man, and twice won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series, including its inaugural 1975 entry, for roles on Columbo. Patrick McGoohan died at the age of 80 at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California, following a brief illness.

March 19, 1931: Gambling (Betting, Gaming): Gambling In The United States: -- Governor Fred B. Balzar signs Assembly Bill 98, a bill legalizing wide-open gambling in the state of Nevada. Unregulated gambling was commonplace in the early Nevada mining towns, but was outlawed in 1909 as part of a nationwide anti-gambling crusade. Because of subsequent declines in mining output and the decline of the agricultural sector during the Great Depression, Nevada again legalized gambling as a means of revitalizing the economy and raising state and local tax revenues. While gambling of all kinds are legal throughout the state, currently Nevada and Louisiana are the only two states in which casino-style gambling is legal statewide, with both state and local governments imposing licensing and zoning restrictions on casinos. All other states that allow casino-style gambling restrict it to small geographic areas (e.g., Atlantic City, New Jersey or Deadwood, South Dakota), or to American Indian reservations, some of which are located in or near large cities. The American Gaming Association, an industry trade group, states that gaming in the U.S. is a 240B USD industry, employing 1.7 million people in 40 states. In 2016, gaming taxes contributed 8.85B USD in state and local tax revenues. Critics of gambling argue it leads to increased political corruption, compulsive gambling, and higher crime rates. Others argue that gambling is a type of regressive tax on the individuals in local economies where gambling venues are located.

March 19, 1941: The European Civil War: World War II: The Second European War (The European Theater Of World War II): Air Warfare Of World War II: The Tuskegee Airmen: : -- The 99th Pursuit Squadron also known as the Tuskegee Airmen, the first all-black unit of the US Army Air Corps, is activated. The Tuskegee Airmen is the popular name of a group of African American military pilots of fighters and bombers who fought in World War II. They formed the 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group of the United States Army Air Forces. The name also applies to the navigators, bombardiers, mechanics, instructors, crew chiefs, nurses, cooks and other support personnel. All black military pilots who trained in the United States trained at Moton Field, the Tuskegee Army Air Field, and were educated at Tuskegee University, located near Tuskegee, Alabama. The group included five Haitians from the Haitian Air Force, and one pilot from Trinidad.. It also included a Hispanic or Latino airman born in the Dominican Republic. Although the 477th Bombardment Group trained with North American B-25 Mitchell bombers, they never served in combat. The 99th Pursuit Squadron (later, 99th Fighter Squadron) was the first black flying squadron, and the first to deploy overseas (to North Africa in April 1943, and later to Sicily and Italy). The 332nd Fighter Group, which originally included the 100th, 301st, and 302nd Fighter Squadrons, was the first black flying group. It deployed to Italy in early 1944. In June 1944, the 332nd Fighter Group began flying heavy bomber escort missions, and in July 1944, with the addition of the 99th Fighter Squadron, it had four fighter squadrons. The 99th Fighter Squadron was initially equipped with Curtiss P-40 Warhawk fighter-bomber aircraft. The 332nd Fighter Group and its 100th, 301st and 302nd Fighter Squadrons were equipped for initial combat missions with Bell P-39 Airacobras (March 1944), later with Republic P-47 Thunderbolts (June-July 1944), and finally with the aircraft with which they became most commonly associated, the North American P-51 Mustang (July 1944). When the pilots of the 332nd Fighter Group painted the tails of their P-47s red, the nickname "Red Tails" was coined. The red markings that distinguished the Tuskegee Airmen included red bands on the noses of P-51s as well as a red rudder; the P-51B and D Mustangs flew with similar color schemes, with red propeller spinners, yellow wing bands and all-red tail surfaces. The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African American military aviators in the United States Armed Forces. During World War II, black Americans in many U.S. states were still subject to the Jim Crow laws and the American military was racially segregated, as was much of the federal government. The Tuskegee Airmen were subjected to discrimination, both within and outside the army.

Warfare Of The Pacific War: Air Raids On Japan: The Bombing Of Kure: The Attack On Kure (March 19, 1945): The Bombing Of The USS Franklin (March 19, 1945) (CV/CVA/CVS-13, AVT-8, Big Ben): -- Off the coast of Japan, a single dive bomber aircraft, possibly a Yokosuka D4Y "Judy", though other accounts suggest an Aichi D3A "Val", pierced cloud cover and made a low level run on the aircraft carrier USS Franklin to drop two semi-armor-piercing bombs. The damage analysis came to the conclusion that the bombs were 550 pounds (250 kg). Accounts differ as to whether the attacking aircraft escaped or was shot down. The USS Franklin had been subject to a severe Kamikaze attack five months prior, on October 30, 1944 during the Battle Of Leyte Gulf, but the attack of March 19, 1945 was even worse. The Attack On Kure targeted the remnants of the Japanese Combined Fleet, the main sea-going component of the Imperial Japanese Navy, located in and near Kure Harbor, the harbor of the city of Kure in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. The attack by 321 aircraft was unsuccessful, as no Japanese warships were sunk though several were damaged. Before dawn on that day, USS Franklin, which had maneuvered to within 50 miles (80 km) of the Japanese mainland, closer than any other U.S. carrier during the war, launched fighter sweeps both against Honshu Kure Harbor. The Franklin crew had been called to battle stations twelve times within six hours that night and Gehres downgraded the alert status to Condition III, allowing his men freedom to eat or sleep, although gunnery crews remained at their stations. One bomb of the Japanese dive bomber struck the flight deck centerline, penetrating to the hangar deck, causing destruction and igniting fires through the second and third decks, and knocking out the Combat Information Center and air plot. The second hit aft, tearing through two decks. At the time she was struck, Franklin had 31 armed and fueled aircraft warming up on her flight deck. The hangar deck contained planes, of which 16 were fueled and five were armed. The forward gasoline system had been secured, but the aft system was operating. The explosion on the hangar deck ignited the fuel tanks on the aircraft, and gasoline vapor explosion devastated the deck. Only two crewmen survived the fire. The explosion also jumbled aircraft together on the flight deck above, causing further fires and explosions and detonating 12 "Tiny Tim" air-to-surface rockets. Franklin was dead in the water, without radio communications, and broiling in the heat from enveloping fires. On the bridge, Captain Gehres ordered Franklin's magazines flooded but this could not be carried out as the ship's water mains were destroyed by the explosions or fire. Admiral Ralph Davison transferred his flag to the destroyer USS Miller by breeches buoy and suggested abandoning ship, but Gehres refused to scuttle the Franklin as there were still many men alive below deck. Many of the crew were blown overboard, driven off by fire, killed or wounded, but the hundreds of officers and enlisted who voluntarily remained saved their ship. Among the dead was one of the ship's surgeons, LCDR George W. Fox, M.D., who was killed while tending to wounded sailors; he was awarded the Navy Cross posthumously. When totaling casualty figures for both Franklin cruises numbers increase to 924 killed in action, the worst for any surviving U.S. warship and second only to that of battleship USS Arizona. Certainly, the casualty figures would have far exceeded this number, but for the work of many survivors. Among these were the Medal Of Honor recipients Lieutenant Commander Joseph T. O'Callahan, the warship's Catholic chaplain, who administered the last rites, organized and directed firefighting and rescue parties, and led men below to wet down magazines that threatened to explode; and also Lieutenant Junior Grade Donald A. Gary, who discovered 300 men trapped in a blackened mess compartment and, finding an exit, returned repeatedly to lead groups to safety. Gary later organized and led fire-fighting parties to battle fires on the hangar deck and entered the No. 3 fireroom to raise steam in one boiler. The Santa Fe rescued crewmen from the sea and approached Franklin to take off the numerous wounded and nonessential personnel. Official Navy casualty figures for the 19 March 1945 fire totaled 724 killed and 265 wounded. Nevertheless, casualty numbers have been updated as new records are discovered. A recent count by Franklin historian and researcher Joseph A. Springer brings total 19 March 1945 casualty figures to 807 killed and more than 487 wounded. Franklin had suffered the most severe damage and highest casualties experienced by any U.S. fleet carrier that survived World War II.

March 19, 1962: Aesthetics: The Performing Arts: Music: Music History: Music Of The United States: Folk Music: Record Releases: -- Bob Dylan's first album, Bob Dylan, is released by Columbia Records. Produced by Columbia's legendary talent scout John H. Hammond, who signed Dylan to the label, the album features folk standards, plus two original compositions, "Talkin' New York" and "Song to Woody". Dylan met John Hammond at a rehearsal session for Carolyn Hester on September 14, 1961, at the apartment shared by Hester and her then-husband, Richard Farina. Hester had invited Dylan to the session as a harmonica player, and Hammond approved him as a session player after hearing him rehearse, with recommendations from his son, musician John P. Hammond, and from Liam Clancy. Hammond later told Robert Shelton that he decided to sign Dylan "on the spot", and invited him to the Columbia offices for a more formal audition recording. No record of that recording has turned up in Columbia's files, but Hammond, Dylan, and Columbia's A & R director Mitch Miller have all confirmed that an audition took place. (Producer Fred Catero, then a recording engineer for Columbia Records, claims to have the master of that session. It is not the original demo for Columbia, but a session from December 6, 1962, recorded by John Hammond, Sr.). On September 26, Dylan began a two-week run at Gerde's Folk City, second on the bill to The Greenbriar Boys. On September 29, an exceptionally favorable review of Dylan's performance appeared in the New York Times. The same day, Dylan played harmonica at Hester's recording session at Columbia's Manhattan studios. After the session, Hammond brought Dylan to his offices and presented him with Columbia's standard five-year contract for previously unrecorded artists, and Dylan signed immediately. That night at Gerdes, Dylan told Shelton about Hammond's offer, but asked him to "keep it quiet" until the contract's final approval had worked its way through the Columbia hierarchy. The label's official approvals came quickly. Studio time was scheduled for late November, and during the weeks leading up to those sessions, Dylan began searching for new material even though he was already familiar with a number of songs. According to Dylan's friend Carla Rotolo (sister of his girlfriend Suze Rotolo), "He spent most of his time listening to my records, days and nights. He studied the Folkways Anthology of American Folk Music, the singing of Ewan MacColl and A. L. Lloyd, Rabbit Brown's guitar, Guthrie, of course, and blues _ his record was in the planning stages. We were all concerned about what songs Dylan was going to do. I remember clearly talking about it." The album was ultimately recorded in three short afternoon sessions on November 20 and 22. Hammond later joked that Columbia spent "about 402" USD to record it, and the figure has entered the Dylan legend as its actual cost. Despite the low cost and short amount of time, Dylan was still difficult to record, according to Hammond. "Bobby popped every p, hissed every s, and habitually wandered off mike," recalls Hammond. "Even more frustrating, he refused to learn from his mistakes. It occurred to me at the time that I'd never worked with anyone so undisciplined before." Seventeen songs were recorded, and five of the album's chosen tracks were actually cut in single takes ("Baby Let Me Follow You Down", "In My Time of Dyin'", "Gospel Plow", "Highway 51 Blues", and "Freight Train Blues") while the master take of "Song to Woody" was recorded after one false start. The album's four outtakes were also cut in single takes. During the sessions, Dylan refused requests to do second takes. "I said no. I can't see myself singing the same song twice in a row. That's terrible." The album cover features a reversed photo of Dylan holding his acoustic guitar. This was done to prevent the neck of the guitar from obscuring Columbia's logo.

Today, March 19, 2026

March 19, 1968: The American Civil Rights Movement: Black Power: The Black Power Movement (Black Liberation Movement): The Counterculture Of The 1960s: Student Rights: Student Rights In Higher Education: Student Activism (Campus Activism): Student Protest (Campus Protest) The Protests Of 1968: The 1968 Howard University Protest (March 19-23, 1968): -- The 1968 Howard University Protest begins when about 1,000 students hold a rally in front of Douglass Hall, after which a group of students seize the Administration Building to conduct a sit-in at President James Nabrit's office until their demands were at least addressed, if not met. As two of the conditions for vacating the building, the students insisted on changes in the discipline policy and that courses be offered in African American history. The activists wanted Nabrit's resignation; a judiciary system for student discipline; an emphasis on African American history and culture in the curriculum, and the dropping of charges against 39 students inspired by the above issues who had made a protest three weeks earlier at Howard's centennial Charter Day celebration. Most important, they simply wanted negotiations and to be heard. That was unusual at most institutions at the time, and particularly at Howard: "They would not dignify us with a response," Adrienne Manns Israel said. "Our demand is an answer - we want you to say publicly what you think about these issues. And [Nabrit] never would." As they entered the building, it turned out they had more support than they thought. "When we went in, we thought it would be the usual group . . . that we would be there, and it would be one more instance when they came and dragged us out," Anthony Gittens said. "We turned around as we were walking into the building, and first there were scores, and then the word got out around campus about what was happening, and there were hundreds of students who joined the protest and took over the entire building." The 1968 Howard University Protest (March 19-23, 1968) was a five-day sit-in seizing of the administration building of Howard University, intially to call for amnesty for the protestors against Howard president James Nabrit Jr. at the March 2, 1968 Howard Charter Day celebration, and for student involvement in student disciplinary decisions, but the goals of the protest soon expanded into an agenda aimed at making Howard more Black-centric and more relevant to the larger Black community. The students demanded Nabrit's resignation, called for African American history courses to be added to the curriculum and urged the university to include student involvement in the larger Washington, D.C. community as part of their studies. The protest shut down most of the campus for several days as students refused to budge on their demands. Tensions had been building up on Howard's campus for some time before the mass protests of March 1968. The previous year, students had yet to gain protested compulsory ROTC participation for students; many of them felt that the program was channeling Howard students into the military and the Vietnam War. Additionally, much of the student discontment at the time was aimed at university president James Nabrit Jr. Before leading Howard, Nabrit had been a prominent civil rights attorney who worked with Thurgood Marshall and successfully argued an anti-segregation case -a companion case to Brown v. Board of Education - in front of the U.S. Supreme Court. As president of Howard starting in 1960, Nabrit embraced Howard's reputation at the time as a "Black Harvard" and reportedly wanted to admit more white students. The student body, meanwhile, complained that there was little Black-created or Black-focused content in the school's curriculum. "Howard is not a Black university," many students complained. Students were also upset over inadequate living conditions, and some wanted Nabrit to step down. During the 1968 Charter Day celebration, marking the 101st anniversary of the school's founding on March 2, 1867, about three dozen students disrupted the ceremony and again called for Nabrit to step down. When the university sought to punish the Charter Day protesters, this set off a much larger protest that became the largest in the school's history. Students at mostly Howard University vowed to continue their rebellion until radical changes are made in the federally supported university's administration. The university was shut donw on March 20th when the demonstrators occupied its administration building in the center of the school's campus. School officials, locked out of their own offices, appeared to be waiting out the students' protest in hopes the 2-day protest would fizzle. The protests drew support from the local community and beyond. Over 2,000 students participated in the sit-in of the university's administrative office, taking shifts occupying the building. During the four-day protest, members of the faculty served as liaisons between students and administrators, and some professors even held lectures outside of the occupied building so that student protesters would not fall behind in their classes. Another 3,000 students barricaded themselves inside of their dorms, concerned that police might be called to battle the protests. Dozens of local D.C. restaurants and stores donated food and supplies to the Howard dorms. A pivotal leader of the national Black Power movement Stokely Carmichael, who'd been a recent Howard graduate at the time and was also a former leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, came to address the protesters thought it's not known what exactly he said. Howard's students succeeded at creating a "Black university" In the end, the university gave in to most of the students' demands. The protesters - both those from Charter Day and the later occupation - were not punished, and the university established a student judiciary committee to weigh in on future disciplinary issues. Courses on Black culture and history were added to the school's curriculum. Nabrit - who was away in Puerto Rico and did not return during the protests - declined to resign based on the idea that he was set to retire soon anyway. Howard quickly created a Department of African American Studies. Black-centric courses were added to curricula in the history, political science, and economics departments; Black literature, poetry and jazz also became the focus on new classes. Howard also began offering doctoral degrees in African studies in 1969. Nabrit was succeeded as president by James Cheeks, Ph.D., who previously led Shaw University. In addition to presiding over new Afro-American studies offerings at Howard, Cheeks also vastly expanded the school's enrollment, faculty, graduate offerings and budget. Even so, Cheeks would eventually become the target of student protests as well. The takeover has inspired future student protests at Howard and other campuses .Partially inspired by the Howard protests, students at Columbia University protested in April, taking over several campus buildings. Columbia's status as an Ivy League and predominantly white institution drew significantly more attention than the Howard occupation. So did the fact that the Columbia uprising turned violent - students held a dean hostage, and police eventually arrested hundreds of students, many of whom suffered injuries in the process. Meanwhile, Howard students were not done protesting. In 1986, they again occupied the school's administrative building when Cheeks appointed Republican National Committee chair Lee Atwater to the school's board of trustees. Atwater had been the main architect of the Republican's "Southern strategy," an intentional effort to appeal to southern white racist fears to gain votes. Atwater used this strategy to help elect former Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush - the racist "Willie Horton" ad was a major feature of Bush's winning campaign against Democratic candidate Michael Dukakis. Occupying students forced Atwater to resign from the Howard position, and Cheeks soon left the school as well. Drawing from Howard's long history of protest, students - led by a group titled HU Resist - staged the longest occupation in the school's history. This time, the students presented officials with a long list of demands for reform on campus, covering every aspect of Howard from housing and tuition to increased mental health service and stronger sexual assault prevention measures. As has been the case before, Howard's student protesters were largely successful, with administrators meeting most of their demands. Since then, Howard students have marched from campus to the White House after the killing of George Floyd and hosted a national conference last October titled "From Protest to Policy: The Pursuit of Racial Justice." After nearly 100 years of activism on campus and across Washington, D.C., Howard students show little sign of dialing back their activism.

March 19, 2008: #DOTD: #RIP: Arthur C. Clarke, English science-fiction writer, science writer, conceiver of the communications satellite, screenwriter, futurist, inventor, undersea explorer, and television series host (b. December 16, 1917) #dies in Sri Lanka after suffering from respiratory failure and heart failure stemming from post-polio syndrome, according to Rohan de Silva, one of his aides. Born Arthur Charles Clarke in Minehead, Somerset, England, he grew up in nearby Bishops Lydeard, where as a boy he lived on a farm where he enjoyed stargazing, fossil collecting, and reading American science-fiction pulp magazines. Sir Arthur Charles Clarke CBE FRAS co-wrote the screenplay for the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey, one of the most influential films of all time. Clarke was a science fiction writer, an avid populariser of space travel, and a futurist of a distinguished ability. He wrote many books and many essays for popular magazines. In 1961, he received the Kalinga Prize, a UNESCO award for popularising science. Clarke's science and science-fiction writings earned him the moniker "Prophet of the Space Age". His science-fiction writings in particular earned him a number of Hugo and Nebula awards, which along with a large readership, made him one of the towering figures of the genre. For many years Clarke, Robert Heinlein, and Isaac Asimov were known as the "Big Three" of science fiction. Clarke was a lifelong proponent of space travel. In 1934, while still a teenager, he joined the British Interplanetary Society. In 1945, he proposed a satellite communication system using geostationary orbits. He was the chairman of the British Interplanetary Society from 1946-1947 and again in 1951-1953. Clarke emigrated from England to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) in 1956, to pursue his interest in scuba diving. That year, he discovered the underwater ruins of the ancient Koneswaram Temple in Trincomalee. Clarke augmented his popularity in the 1980s, as the host of television shows such as Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World. He lived in Sri Lanka until his death. Clarke was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1989 "for services to British cultural interests in Sri Lanka". He was knighted in 1998 and was awarded Sri Lanka's highest civil honour, Sri Lankabhimanya, in 2005. https://store.earthstation1.com/complete-long-john-nebel-old-time-radio-broadcasts-mp3-dv3.html

March 19, 1974: #DOTD: #RIP: Edward Platt, American actor best known for his portrayal of "The Chief" in the 1965-70 NBC/CBS television series Get Smart (b. February 14, 1916) #dies in his Santa Monica apartment at the age of 58; initially it was reported that he had died from a heart attack, but Platt's son later admitted his father's death was from suicide, after a long struggle with untreated depression. His remains were cremated, and his ashes were scattered at sea (presumably in The Pacific Ocean, and that off the coast of Santa Monica). He was born Edward Cuthbert Platt in Staten Island, New York. With his deep voice and mature appearance, Edward Platt played an eclectic mix of characters over the span of his career. Platt spent a part of his childhood in Kentucky and in upstate New York where he attended the Northwood School, a private school in Lake Placid, and was a member of the ski jump team. He also studied at the Juilliard School. He attended Princeton University, but left after his freshman year. Platt served in the United States Army during World War II. A powerful, operatically trained bass-baritone, he debuted on Broadway in the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Allegro. Jose Ferrer, who performed with Platt in the Broadway play The Shrike, helped Platt land his first film role in the 1955 film version. Also in 1955, he appeared in Rebel Without a Cause, starring James Dean, Natalie Wood, and Sal Mineo. Platt returned to Broadway in 1958 with the musical Oh, Captain!, playing a romantic role. In 1959, he played Cary Grant's attorney in North by Northwest. In 1959, Platt starred in the movie The Rebel Set, which was later mocked on the television show Mystery Science Theater 3000. Platt also appeared in episodes of the original Perry Mason ("The Case of the Slandered Submarine" and "The Case of the Larcenous Lady"); 77 Sunset Strip, Trackdown, State Trooper (in the episode "Who Killed Doc Robbins"), Men into Space ("From Another World"), Ripcord ("Millon Dollar Drop"), Gunsmoke, Bonanza, One Step Beyond, The Rifleman, Rawhide, Whispering Smith, The Outer Limits (in the first-season episode "The Man with the Power"), The Dick Van Dyke Show ("A Nice Friendly Game Of Cards"), Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, Bat Masterson, Tales of Wells Fargo and The Twilight Zone. His most famous role was the regular role of Chief in the espionage parody television series Get Smart (1965-1970). After the series ended, he played a recurring role in situation comedy series The Governor & J.J. in 1970. He had guest roles in several other television series of the era, mostly comedies, including Temperatures Rising; Bewitched; Owen Marshall: Counselor at Law; Love, American Style; and The Odd Couple as Oscar Madison's boss in the episode "Oscar's New Life." Platt appeared as Sotto Voce in the 1969 KCET television reading of Norman Corwin's 1938 radio play The Plot to Overthrow Christmas. In 1973, Platt raised the money to produce one of the first independent color motion pictures shot entirely on videotape: Santee, starring Glenn Ford. Platt saw the advantages of using videotape over film, and his crew shot the production with electronic TV cameras and portable VTRs, then had the images transferred to film for theatrical release. The movie was not commercially successful. https://store.earthstation1.com/the-rebel-set-dvd-gregg-palmer-kathleen-crowley-edward-platt.html

The scandal involved a 279K USD payoff that was made to obtain the silence of Jessica Hahn, who alleged that Jim Bakker and former PTL Club co-host John Wesley Fletcher had drugged and raped her, a payment made using PTL's funds through Bakker's associate Roe Messner. Bakker, who made the PTL organization's financial decisions, allegedly kept two sets of books to conceal accounting irregularities. Reporters for the Charlotte Observer newspaper, led by Charles Shepard, investigated the PTL organization's finances and published a series of articles. Although Bakker acknowledged that he had a sexual encounter with Hahn at a hotel room in Clearwater, Florida, he denied raping her. Bakker was the subject of homosexual and bisexual allegations made by John Wesley Fletcher and PTL director Jay Babcock, which he denied under oath. Rival televangelist John Ankerberg appeared on Larry King Live and made several allegations against Bakker, which both Bakkers denied. Bakker was succeeded as PTL head by Southern Baptist pastor Jerry Falwell. He chose Falwell as his successor because he feared that fellow Pentecostal pastor Jimmy Swaggart was attempting to take over his ministry. Swaggart had initiated a church investigation into Bakker over allegations of Bakker's sexual misconduct. Bakker believed that Falwell would temporarily lead the ministry until the scandal died down, but Falwell barred Bakker from returning to PTL on April 28, 1987. Later that summer, as donations declined sharply in the wake of Bakker's resignation and the end of the Bakkers' PTL Club TV program, Falwell raised 20M USD to keep PTL solvent and took a promised water slide ride at Heritage USA. Falwell and the remaining members of the PTL board resigned in October 1987, stating that a ruling from a bankruptcy court judge made rebuilding the ministry impossible. In response to the scandal, Falwell called Bakker a liar, an embezzler, a sexual deviant, and "the greatest scab and cancer on the face of Christianity in 2,000 years of church history." On CNN, Swaggart told Larry King that Bakker was a "cancer in the body of Christ". In February 1988, Swaggart became involved in a sex scandal of his own after being caught visiting prostitutes in New Orleans. The Bakker and Swaggart scandals had a profound effect on the world of televangelism, causing greater media scrutiny of televangelists and their finances. https://store.earthstation1.com/fall-from-grace-the-jim-and-tammy-faye-bakker-story-dvd.html

March 19, 2017: #DOTD: #RIP: Jimmy Breslin, American columnist, investigative journalist and author (b. October 17, 1930) #dies of pneumonia at his home in Manhattan, aged 88. He was born James Earle Breslin in Jamaica, New York. Until the time of his death, he wrote a column for the New York Daily News Sunday edition. He wrote numerous novels, and columns of his appeared regularly in various newspapers in his hometown of New York City. He served as a regular columnist for the Long Island newspaper Newsday until his retirement on November 2, 2004, though he still published occasional pieces for the paper. He was known for his newspaper columns which offered a sympathetic viewpoint of the working-class people of New York City, and was awarded the 1986 Pulitzer Prize for Commentary "for columns which consistently champion ordinary citizens". When Breslin was a child, his alcoholic father, James Earl Breslin, a piano player, went out one day to buy rolls and never returned. Breslin and his sister, Deirdre, were raised by their mother, Frances (Curtin), a high school teacher and New York City Welfare Department investigator, during the Great Depression. Breslin attended Long Island University from 1948 to 1950. He left without graduating. Breslin began working for the Long Island Press as a copy boy in the 1940s. After leaving college, he became a columnist. His early columns were attributed to politicians and ordinary people that he chatted with in various watering holes near Queens Borough Hall. Breslin was a columnist for the New York Herald Tribune, the Daily News, the New York Journal American, Newsday, The Daily Beast, the National Police Gazette and other venues. When the Sunday supplement of the Tribune was reworked into New York magazine by editor Clay Felker in 1962, Breslin appeared in the new edition, which became "the hottest Sunday read in town." One of his best known columns was published the day after John F. Kennedy's funeral and focused on the man who had dug the president's grave. The column is indicative of Breslin's style, which often highlights how major events or the actions of those considered "newsworthy" affect the "common man". Breslin's public profile in the 1960s as a regular guy led to a brief stint as a TV pitchman for Piels Beer, including a bar room commercial wherein he intoned in his deep voice: "Piels - it's a good drinkin' beer!" In 1969, Breslin ran for president of the New York City Council in tandem with Norman Mailer, who was seeking election as mayor, on the unsuccessful independent 51st State ticket advocating secession of the city from the rest of the state. A memorable quote of his from the experience: "I am mortified to have taken part in a process that required bars to be closed." The ticket was referred to as "Vote the Rascals In". Breslin's career as an investigative journalist led him to cultivate ties with various Mafia and criminal elements in the city, not always with positive results. In 1970, he was viciously attacked and beaten at The Suite, a restaurant then owned by Lucchese crime family associate Henry Hill (whose life story was adapted and portrayed by Ray Liotta in Martin Scorsese's film Goodfellas). The attack was carried out by Irish mobster Jimmy Burke (portrayed by Robert De Niro in Scorsese's film Goodfellas), who objected to an article Breslin had written involving another member of the Lucchese family, Paul Vario (portrayed as 'Paul Cicero' in Goodfellas). Breslin suffered a major concussion and nosebleeding, but survived the ordeal without any permanent injury. In 1971, Breslin spoke at Harvard's Class Day. In 1977, at the height of the Son of Sam scare in New York City, the killer, later identified as David Berkowitz, addressed letters to Breslin. Excerpts from the letters were published and used later in Spike Lee's film Summer of Sam, which Breslin, portraying himself, bookends. In 2008, the Library of America selected one of Breslin's many Son of Sam articles published in the Daily News for inclusion in its two-century retrospective of American true crime writing. In 1978, Breslin, without significant acting experience, appeared in Joe Brooks' feature film If Ever I See You Again in a main supporting role playing "Mario Marino", the assistant to two Madison Avenue jingle composers. Breslin's performance received a Golden Turkey Award nomination for "Worst Performance by a Novelist". In 1985, he received a George Polk Award for Metropolitan Reporting. In 1986, he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. In 1986, Breslin revealed that Donald Manes, the Borough President of Queens, was involved in a kickback scheme. Manes later committed suicide. In October 1986, Breslin landed his own twice-weekly late night television show on ABC, Jimmy Breslin's People, in which he was seen interviewing poor New Yorkers at home. Some of them were incarcerated. Because many network affiliates had already had committed to syndicated programming for Breslin's time slot when the new season started a month earlier, Breslin's show was often delayed or preempted altogether; even the network's flagship station WABC pushed it back from its midnight slot to 2 a.m., and would occasionally only air it one night a week. Disgusted, Breslin took out a full-page ad in The New York Times announcing that he was "firing the network" and would be ending the show after its December 20 broadcast (at which time his 13-week contract expired). In May 1990, after fellow Newsday columnist Ji-Yeon Mary Yuh described one of his articles as sexist, Breslin heatedly retorted with racial and sexual invective. Asian American and anti-hate groups forcefully decried Breslin's outburst. Breslin appeared on The Howard Stern Show to banter about his outburst and Koreans in general. Following this controversial radio broadcast, Newsday managing editor Anthony Marro suspended Breslin for two weeks, who then apologized. Author and former FBI agent Robert K. Ressler has stated that Breslin "baited Berkowitz and irresponsibly contributed to the continuation of his murders" by trying to sell sensationalist newspapers. In Ressler's book Whoever Fights Monsters, Ressler condemns Breslin and the media for their involvement in encouraging serial killers by directing their activity with printed conjectures. In return for his "relentless columns on police misbehavior", the local patrolmen's union bought protest ads in his own newspaper. Breslin was married twice. His first marriage, to Rosemary Dattolico, ended with her death in 1981. They had six children together: sons Kevin, James, Patrick, and Christopher, and daughters Rosemary and Kelly. His daughter Rosemary died June 14, 2004, from a rare blood disease, and his daughter Kelly, 44, died on April 21, 2009, four days after suffering from cardiac arrhythmia in a New York City restaurant. From 1982 until his death in 2017, Breslin had been married to former New York City Council member Ronnie Eldridge. Shortly before his death, Breslin was interviewed with Pete Hamill for the 2019 HBO documentary Breslin and Hamill: Deadline Artists. https://store.earthstation1.com/out-of-the-darkness-dvd-martin-sheen-son-of-sam-murders.html

March 19, 1943: #DOTD: Frank Nitti, nicknamed The Enforcer, the Chicago Outfit Boss after Al Capone (b. January 27, 1886) #dies aged aged 57 when he commits suicide at the Chicago Central Railyard with a .32 caliber revolver. A severe claustrophobe as a result of his first prison term, Nitti dreaded the idea of another prison confinement. It was also rumored that he was suffering from terminal cancer at this time. For these or possibly other reasons, he ultimately decided to take his own life. The day before his scheduled grand jury appearance, he told his wife after breakfast that he planned to take a walk; then he began to drink heavily. He then loaded a .32 caliber revolver, put it in his coat pocket, and walked five blocks to a local railroad yard. Three shots rang out along the train track. The first shot fired by Nitti's unsteady hand missed and passed through his fedora. The second bullet slammed into the right side of his jaw and exited through the top of his head, taking a lock of his hair with it and leaving the tuft protruding from the hole in the crown of the fedora. The final, fatal bullet entered behind Nitti's right ear and lodged in the top of his skull. He is buried at Mount Carmel Catholic Cemetery in Hillside, Illinois. Controversy has persisted regarding the interment of a suicide in a Catholic cemetery. He was born Francesco Raffaele Nitto in Angri province of Salerno, Campania, Italy. Frank Ralph Nitto was one of the top henchmen of Al Capone, co-founder and boss of the Chicago Outfit (also known as the Outfit, the Chicago Mafia, the Chicago Mob, the Chicago crime family, the South Side Gang or The Organization), an Italian-American organized crime syndicate or crime family based in Chicago, Illinois, which dates from the 1910s. It is part of the larger Italian-American Mafia and originated in South Side, Chicago. Frank Nitti was in charge of all money flowing through the operation. Nitti succeeded Capone as boss of the Chicago Outfit when Capone was sent to prison. In 1943, many top members of the Chicago Outfit were indicted for extorting the Hollywood film industry. The Outfit was accused of trying to extort money from some of the largest movie studios, including Columbia Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Paramount Pictures, RKO Pictures, and 20th Century Fox. The studios had cooperated with The Outfit to avoid union trouble (unrest itself stirred up by the mob). At a meeting of Outfit leaders at Nitti's home, Paul "The Waiter" Ricca, Nitti's hand-picked successor who ultimately served as the leader of the Chicago Outfit for 40 years afterwards, blamed Nitti for the indictments. Ricca said that since this had been Nitti's scheme and that of the FBI informant (Willie Bioff), one of Nitti's trusted associates, Nitti should go to prison. A severe claustrophobe as a result of his first prison term, Nitti dreaded the idea of another prison confinement. It was also rumored that he was suffering from terminal cancer at this time. For these or possibly other reasons, he ultimately decided to take his own life. The day before his scheduled grand jury appearance, he told his wife after breakfast that he planned to take a walk; then he began to drink heavily.

March 19, 1702 (O.S.: March 8, 1702): The English Monarchy (The Monarchy Of The Kingdom Of England): Royal Accessions: Successions To The English, Scottish And Irish Thrones: -- Queen Anne, the younger sister of Queen Mary II, succeeds her as Queen Regnant of England, Scotland, and Ireland; she was thereafter styled Queen Of Great Britain And Ireland following the ratification of the Acts of Union on May 1, 1707, which merged the kingdoms of Scotland and England. Anne Stuart (February 6, 1665 - August 1, 1714) was born during the reign of her uncle, King Charles II, at 11:39 p.m. at St James's Palace, London, England, the fourth child and second daughter of the Duke of York (later King James II and VII), and his first wife, Anne Hyde. Her father was Charles's younger brother and heir presumptive, James, whose suspected Roman Catholicism was unpopular in England. On Charles's instructions, Anne and her elder sister Mary were raised as Anglicans. Mary married their Dutch Protestant cousin, William III of Orange, in 1677, and Anne married the Lutheran Prince George of Denmark in 1683. On Charles's death in 1685, James succeeded to the throne, but just three years later he was deposed in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Mary and William became joint monarchs. Although the sisters had been close, disagreements over Anne's finances, status, and choice of acquaintances arose shortly after Mary's accession and they became estranged. William and Mary had no children. After Mary's death in 1694, William reigned alone until his own death in 1702, when Anne succeeded him. During her reign, Anne favoured moderate Tory politicians, who were more likely to share her Anglican religious views than their opponents, the Whigs. The Whigs grew more powerful during the course of the War of the Spanish Succession, until 1710 when Anne dismissed many of them from office. Her close friendship with Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough, turned sour as the result of political differences. The Duchess took revenge with an unflattering description of the Queen in her memoirs, which was widely accepted by historians until Anne was reassessed in the late 20th century. Anne was plagued by poor health throughout her life, and from her thirties she grew increasingly ill and obese. Despite 17 pregnancies, she died without surviving issue as the last monarch of The House Of Stuart at around 7:30 a.m.. John Arbuthnot, one of her doctors, thought her death was a release from a life of ill-health and tragedy; he wrote to Jonathan Swift, "I believe sleep was never more welcome to a weary traveller than death was to her." She was buried beside her husband and children in the Henry VII Chapel on the South Aisle of Westminster Abbey on August 24, 1702. Under the Act of Settlement 1701, which excluded all Catholics, she was succeeded by her second cousin George I of the House Of Hanover. https://store.earthstation1.com/monarchy-in-the-uk-british-royal-history-mp4-video-download-dvd-set.html
