This Day In History

The Poet · 06-25-2015, 11:36 AM

Today in 1950 the Korean War . . . excuse me, "police action" . . . began when North Korean troops crossed the 38th Parallel to invade the South in a surprise attack. Someday this conflict might even end, and put to the lie Frost's assertion that good fences make good neighbors. Also, in 1876 the Battle of Little Bighorn occurred, which not only outraged white Americans at the slaughter of the 7th Cavalry but also ended the colorful career of Gen. George Armstrong Custer with this, his Last Stand.

In 1956 the last Packard automobile was produced in Detroit. Ask the man who never had a chance to own one. And speaking of man, today in 1910 Congress passed the Mann Act . . . much to the chagrin of Admiral Icehog.
