This Day In History

Returning briefly to an earlier topic, today in 1959 Klaus Fuchs was released from a British prison. In 1992 John Gotti, the Teflon Don, was sentenced to life on 14 counts of conspiracy to commit murder and racketeering. In 1902 "Mercedes" was registered as a brand name, and in 1989 another brand name, Batman, hit the theater screens and became a massive one (hit, that is), boosting the careers of Michael Keaton and Tim Burton, in large part thanks to Jack Nicholson's creepy take on the Joker. The movie also holds much of the credit, or blame, for the vast success of comics-based films in recent times.
