Today in 1900 Count Zeppelin launched his first airship. It was not much of a success, but not as big a failure as was the Hindenburg. While we're talking balloons, in 1947 a weather balloon crashed outside Roswell NM. Or did it? Don't ask me, ask Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum. And while we're talking aliens and the Fresh Prince, in 1997 Men In Black premiered. And while we're already all up in the air, in 1937 Amelia Earhart . . . ?

Finally, in 1962 Sam Walton opened his first discount store in Rogers AR, and within a few decades Wal-Mart had taken the air out of many other retailers.
