mabfanI'm always interested in what happened on this day in history, it being my birthday and all. Let's hit a few of the highlights:
1801: The District of Columbia was placed under Congressional jurisdiction
1860: Abraham Lincoln gives a speech condemning slavery at Cooper Union in New YorkCity
1897: Britain recongnizes US authority over the western hemisphere
1922: The Supreme Court unanimously declares the 19th amendment constitutional, defending women's right to vote
1933: The German Parliamentary building, the Reichstag, catches fire, giving the Nazis an excuse to suspend civil liberties
1973: The American Indian Movement begins its occupation of Wounded Knee
1991: The first Gulf War is declared officially over.
1993: The World Trade Center is shut down indefinitely, as investigators begin looking into the February 26 bombing
There's more of course.
I share my birthday with John Steinbeck, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Ralph Nader, Elizabeth Taylor, and Chelsea Clinton, among others.

Date: 2005-03-01 10:22 pm (UTC)As a worse excuse, I'm just terrible at remembering birthdays. My wife was happy to receive *your* birthday card for her. (Maybe I'll just have to lodge in my brain that birthday(MAB) = birthday(wife) + 1....
