Default Re: This Day In History
On July 5 1921 jury selection began in the case against the 1919 White/Black Sox for throwing the World Series. Following the subsequent ban for life from baseball of many of the players involved, everyone but Pete Rose got the message. On a happier note, in 1946 designer Louis Reard unveiled a daring 2-piece woman's bathing suit at a popular Parisian pool. Modeled by an exotic dancer, Micheline Bernardini, who had little aversion to showing some skin, the new suit was named by Reard after a Pacific atoll which was in the news at that time for its role in American A-bomb tests . . . Bikini. Ohh, baby! That culture-changing event was planned and orchestrated, unlike the one which happened at Sam Phillip's Sun Records of Memphis back in 1954, when an impromptu jam session featuring a young Elvis Presley gave the world his first hit record, That's All Right. Mama!
