March 18: Transit Driver Appreciation Day: -- Today we thank and appreciate our transit drivers (bus, train and subway drivers) for doing their job well! You may not realize it, but transit drivers make a great contribution to the community. They ensure the safety of transit travelers, keep a track of the stops, and bear the responsibility of dropping passengers off at the right location. Moreover, transit drivers put aside their comfort to make sure the passengers reach their destination on time. Can you imagine a world without them£ Without transit drivers, we would never be able to reach the correct destination on time. Take this opportunity to show them just how grateful you are. While transit drivers have existed for decades, the day to honor them was not created until much later. This turnover in history occurred in 2009 after Hans Gerwitz and Shannon E. Thomas published a blog post regarding Bus Driver Appreciation Day. Once the concept was pushed on a media platform, the idea simply caught on and was promoted by local transit-oriented blogs in Seattle, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. A few years later in 2013, busdriverday.org was created in Portland to encourage the day. The very next year, the idea further evolved and the website also added rail operators to the list. Therefore, the name of the day was changed to Transit Driver Appreciation Day. March 18 is the day chosen because the first bus line, 'Carrosses a cinq sols,' was launched on this day in 1662. This was the first form of public transport in the world that became functional in Paris. But the idea of public transport is centuries old. For instance, back in 4000 B.C., people traveled in wooden boats to trade. By the 16th century, boats were replaced by sailing ships to cover large distances across the world. These journeys were made easier in 1807, after the invention of steamboats and motor-powered ships. Furthermore, the industrial revolution led to the development of other modes of trading goods such as the motorway and advanced transport forms. These were later used in public transit.

March 18: National Awkward Moments Day: -- This is an annual day that every person can relate to. We have all had our awkward moments from time to time. They are a part of life; they just happen. Awkwardness or embarrassment is defined as an emotional state of intense discomfort with oneself. Have you ever called someone by the wrong name, tripped over nothing, walked into a door, had the completely wrong words come out of your mouth, or just forgotten what you were doing£ The list could go on and on. Sometimes, things just do not seem to go right and something happens that may make you feel like you want to run and hide. No matter the day, today, or any other day, everyone has them. So find the ability to laugh at yourself, see the humor in awkward moments and have fun with them. Relive old awkward moments by telling stories about them. Laugh over them and enjoy the memory. Help someone else recover from an awkward moment. They may be embarrassing at first. However, the humor in these moments shows just how human we can be. Keep in mind that no one is perfect, ever. Wear humility like a cloak and laugh at yourself! The variety of awkward moments is endless, but some of humanity's most cringe-worthy moments have been better documented than others. Just in case you're working through your own social faux pas, check out this history to make yourself think: "hey, at least I didn't do that." Turns out, humans have been awkward since the dawn of time. Some of the earliest awkward moments we could find include Isaac Newton incorrectly predicting the end of the world several times, a football team in the 1929 Rose Bowl almost running a touchdown to the wrong side of the field, and President Roosevelt accidentally running into Churchill coming out of the bath, naked! With the advent of radio, TV, movies, and more technology that connects us, the number of awkward moments publicized and made infamous expanded exponentially. Who hasn't heard of Janet Jackson's famous "Nipplegate" situation at the Superbowl£ Who doesn't remember when Ashlee Simpson got caught lip-synching at a concert£ Awkward moments in the YouTube age have a whole new character, as they can be watched over and over again. More famous awkward moments from the 21st century include Mike Tyson falling off a hoverboard and when Ariana Grande got caught on camera licking a doughnut at a bakery before putting it back (ew!). We have to say, the awkward moments that take the cake are those brought on by the digital age of communication - we mean texting, dating apps, and social media. You know what we're talking about. Raise your hand if you've ever swiped right on a coworker by mistake and had to avoid their desk on your way to the kitchen. Who else has liked a crush's Instagram post from three years ago£ We can't be the only ones who have ever sent a screenshot of a message_ right back to the person we were texting. Our media age offers a plethora of opportunities for personal embarrassment, but hey - at least we can watch everyone else's awkward moments on YouTube. Take heart knowing that awkward moments have existed since the dawn of time, and occasionally running into a tree or putting our feet in our mouth only connects us and makes us human. Plus, they're fun to laugh about! On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT! https://store.earthstation1.com/classic-baby-boomer-bloopers-tv-amp-movie-blooper-outtakes-dvd.html

March 18: National Supreme Sacrifice Day: -- Honors those who have made tremendous sacrifices for the sake and the good of others as well as those who sacrifice their lives every day for us. We may most readily call to mind the men and women in uniform who have laid down their lives protecting their country and communities. This day also honors those who may have stepped forward during times of crisis to rescue a stranger or a neighbor and gave the supreme sacrifice that day. These sacrifices come in many forms. We don't always recognize them when we see them, nor do we always expect them. Like in the case of one young Miner who saved the lives of 11-year-old Emmet and 8-year-old Myrdith when the sleigh they were in overturned during a blizzard so fierce they couldn't see their house, though they were only 200 yards away. Wind howling so loudly, they couldn't hear their father's voice calling to them. On March 15, 1920, they'd set home from school in rural North Dakota and been caught up in the blizzard. Their 16-year-old sister, Hazel Miner protected her siblings with her body, keeping the blankets in place over her siblings through the night. Hazel Miner died that night, but her actions saved her siblings' lives. These sacrifices don't always come in uniform and are often unsung. Often, these heroes step up when we least expect it and when we need it most. To observe National Supreme Sacrifice Day: Honor someone who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Visit with their families, support them and the people in uniform who place their lives on the line, daily. Visit a local memorial and learn the names of local heroes. Participate in events around your state that support the military and first responders. Use #SupremeSacrificeDay to post on social media. Many kinds of services are available to the families of those who gave the supreme sacrifice. For example, National Fallen Firefighters Foundation offers support to fallen firefighters' families. Fallen Patriots supports Gold Star families. Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) supports the families of fallen law enforcement.

March 18, 1965: Rocket Launches: Outer Space Firsts: Space Walks: The History Of Spaceflight: The Aftermath Of World War II: The Cold War: The Space Age: The Space Age: Space Programs Of The Soviet Union: Human Spaceflight Programs: The Voskhod Program: Voskhod 2 (Russian: Sunrise 2): -- Voskhod 2 (Russian: 'Sunrise-2'), a Vostok booster-based Voskhod 3KD spacecraft with two crew members on board, Pavel Belyayev and Alexei Leonov, and equipped with a Volga, an inflatible airlock to be extended while in orbit, is launched at 07:00:00 UTC atop a Voskhod rocket launch vehicle from the Baikonur Cosmodrome's Site 1 (Site 1/5, Gagarin's Start) on a 1 day, 2 hour, 2 minute mission, wherein 90 minutes into the flight Soviet Cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, Air Force major general, writer, and artist, becomes the first person to walk in space by leaving his Voskhod 2 spacecraft in a specialized and dangerous high-pressure spacesuit for 12 minutes, 9 seconds, beginning over north-central Africa (northern Sudan/southern Egypt), and ending over eastern Siberia, and barely gets back into his space craft. Though Leonov was able to complete his spacewalk successfully, both that task and the overall mission were plagued with problems. Leonov's only tasks were to attach a camera to the end of the airlock to record his spacewalk and to photograph the spacecraft. He managed to attach the camera without any problem. However, when he tried to use the still camera on his chest, the suit had ballooned and he was unable to reach down to the shutter switch on his leg.[6] After his 12 minutes and 9 seconds outside the Voskhod, Leonov found that his suit had stiffened, due to ballooning out, to the point where he could not re-enter the airlock. He was forced to bleed off some of his suit's pressure, in order to be able to bend the joints, eventually going below safety limits. Leonov did not report his action on the radio to avoid alarming others, but Soviet state radio and television had earlier stopped their live broadcasts from the spacecraft when the mission experienced difficulties. The government news agency, TASS, reported that, "outside the ship and after returning, Leonov feels well"; however, post-Cold War Russian documents reveal a different story. Doctors reported that Leonov nearly suffered heatstroke - his core body temperature increased by 1.8 dg C (3.2 dg F) in 20 minutes; Leonov said he was up to his knees in sweat, which sloshed in the suit. Later accounts report Cosmonaut Leonov violated procedure by entering the airlock head-first, then became stuck sideways when he turned to close the outer hatch, forcing him to flirt with decompression sickness (the "bends") by lowering the suit pressure so he could bend to free himself. Leonov said that he had a suicide pill to swallow had he been unable to re-enter the Voskhod 2, and Belyayev been forced to abandon him in orbit. Following the space walk, the two crew members experienced difficulty in sealing the hatch properly due to thermal distortion caused by Leonov's lengthy troubles returning to the craft, followed by a troublesome re-entry in which malfunction of the automatic landing system forced the use of its manual backup. The spacecraft was so cramped that the two cosmonauts, both wearing spacesuits, could not return to their seats to restore the ship's center of mass for 46 seconds after orienting the ship for reentry and a landing in Perm Krai. The orbital module did not properly disconnect from the landing module, not unlike Vostok 1, causing the spherical return vehicle to spin wildly until the modules disconnected at 100 km. The delay of 46 seconds caused the spacecraft to land 386 km (240 mi) from the intended landing zone, in the inhospitable forests of Upper Kama Upland, somewhere west of Solikamsk. Although flight controllers had no idea where the spacecraft had landed or whether Leonov and Belyayev had survived, the cosmonauts' families were told that they were resting after having been recovered. The two men were both familiar with the harsh climate and knew that bears and wolves, made aggressive by mating season, lived in the taiga; the spacecraft carried a pistol and "plenty of ammunition", but the incident later drove the development of a dedicated TP-82 Cosmonaut survival pistol. Although aircraft quickly located the cosmonauts, the area was so heavily forested that helicopters could not land. When night arrived, the temperature dropped to -5 dg C (23 dg F), and the spacecraft's hatch had been blown open by explosive bolts. Warm clothes and supplies were dropped and the cosmonauts spent a freezing night in the Sharik (Russian: "capsule"). Even worse, the electrical system completely malfunctioned so that the heater would not work, but the fans ran at full blast. A rescue party arrived on skis the next day as it was too risky to try an airlift from the site. The advance party chopped wood and built a small log cabin and an enormous fire. After a more comfortable second night in the forest, the cosmonauts skied to a waiting helicopter several kilometers away and flew first to Perm, then to Baikonur for their mission debriefing.

March 18, 1766: The Age Of Enlightenment (The Enlightenment, The Age Of Reason): The Age Of Revolution: The Atlantic Revolutions: The American Enlightenment: The American Revolution: The Stamp Act 1765 (The Duties In American Colonies Act 1765, The Stamp Act): -- The Parliament Of Great Britain repeals the Stamp Act Of 1765, passed on March 22, 1765, which imposed a direct tax on the colonies of British America and required that many printed materials in the colonies be produced on stamped paper produced in London, carrying an embossed revenue stamp. Printed materials included legal documents, magazines, playing cards, newspapers, and many other types of paper used throughout the colonies. Like previous taxes, the stamp tax had to be paid in valid British currency, not in colonial paper money. The purpose of the tax was to help pay for troops stationed in North America after the British victory in the Seven Years' War and its North American theater of the French And Indian War. However, the Colonists had never feared a French invasion to begin with, and they contended that they had already paid their share of the expenses. They suggested that it was actually a matter of British patronage to surplus British officers and career soldiers who should be paid by London. The Stamp Act was very unpopular among colonists. A consensus considered it a violation of their rights as Englishmen to be taxed without their consent - consent that only the colonial legislatures could grant. Their slogan was "No taxation without representation." Colonial assemblies sent petitions and protests. The Stamp Act Congress held in New York City was the first significant joint colonial response to any British measure; it petitioned Parliament and the King. One member of the British Parliament argued that the colonials were no different from the 90% residents of Great Britain who did not own property (and thus could not vote), but who were nevertheless "virtually" represented by land-owning electors and representatives who had common interests with the nonvoters. An American attorney refuted this by pointing out that while electors in Great Britain could conceivably have enough in common with nonvoting residents of that country to justify "virtually" representing nonvoters, "the relation between the British Americans, and the English electors, is a knot too infirm to be relied on." (i.e. not enough in common between Parliament and the Colonials to justify imposing the law without the consent of the Colonials). Local protest groups led by colonial merchants and landowners established connections through Committees of Correspondence, creating a loose coalition that extended from New England to Maryland. Protests and demonstrations initiated by a new secret organization called the Sons Of Liberty often turned violent and destructive as the masses became involved. Very soon, all stamp tax distributors were intimidated into resigning their commissions, and the tax was never effectively collected. Opposition to the Stamp Act was not limited to the colonies. British merchants and manufacturers, whose exports to the colonies were threatened by colonial boycotts, pressured Parliament. The Act was repealed on 18 March 1766 as a matter of expedience, but Parliament affirmed its power to legislate for the colonies "in all cases whatsoever" by also passing the Declaratory Act. There followed a series of new taxes and regulations, likewise opposed by the colonists. The episode played a major role in defining the grievances that were clearly stated within the text of the Indictment of George III section of the Declaration Of Independence, and enabling the organized colonial resistance that led to the American Revolution in 1775.

March 18, AD 37: Rome: Ancient Rome: The Roman Empire: Royal Accessions: Successions To The Throne Of The Roman Empire: -- The Roman Senate annuls Tiberius's will, naming two heirs, with the standard justification that he had been insane, and proclaims Caligula Roman Emperor. Tiberius died on March 16; the next day would have been the Liberalia, one of the days on which Tiberius Gemellus, the grandson of the Emperor Tiberius and cousin of the Caligula, could have been bestowed the toga virilis (manly gown), which represented adult male citizenship and its attendant rights, freedoms and responsibilities. According to Suetonius and Tacitus, rumours circulated that Caligula, possibly assisted by Praetorian prefect Naevius Sutorius Macro, smothered the Emperor Tiberius with a pillow. However, Seneca the Elder and Philo, who both wrote during Tiberius' reign, as well as Josephus, record Tiberius as dying a natural death. Regardless, on the death of Tiberius, Gemellus was still, because he had not yet recieved his toga virilis, only a child by a mere two days. Caligula therefore assumed the leadership of the domus Caesaris, and this was ratified by the senate, which acclaimed him emperor two days after Emperor Tiberius' death, and a day after Tiberius Gemellus should have received his manly gown.

March 18, 1837: #BOTD: #HBD! Grover Cleveland, American lawyer and politician who served as the 22nd and 24th president of the United States from 1885 to 1889 and from 1893 to 1897 (d. June 24, 1908) is #born Stephen Grover Cleveland in Caldwell, New Jersey. He is the only American president to serve two nonconsecutive terms, and the only president to be married in the White House. He won the popular vote for three presidential elections-in 1884, 1888, and 1892-and was one of two Democrats (followed by Woodrow Wilson in 1912) to be elected president during the era of Republican presidential domination dating from 1861 to 1933. In 1881, Cleveland was elected mayor of Buffalo and later, governor of New York. He was the leader of the pro-business Bourbon Democrats who opposed high tariffs, Free Silver, inflation, imperialism, and subsidies to business, farmers, or veterans. His crusade for political reform and fiscal conservatism made him an icon for American conservatives of the era. Cleveland won praise for his honesty, self-reliance, integrity, and commitment to the principles of classical liberalism. He fought political corruption, patronage, and bossism. As a reformer, Cleveland had such prestige that the like-minded wing of the Republican Party, called "Mugwumps", largely bolted the GOP presidential ticket and swung to his support in the 1884 election. As his second administration began, disaster hit the nation when the Panic Of 1893 produced a severe national depression. It ruined his Democratic Party, opening the way for a Republican landslide in 1894 and for the agrarian and silverite seizure of the Democratic Party in 1896. The result was a political realignment that ended the Third Party System and launched the Fourth Party System and the Progressive Era. Cleveland was a formidable policymaker, and he also drew corresponding criticism. His intervention in the Pullman Strike of 1894 to keep the railroads moving angered labor unions nationwide in addition to the party in Illinois; his support of the gold standard and opposition to Free Silver alienated the agrarian wing of the Democratic Party. Critics complained that Cleveland had little imagination and seemed overwhelmed by the nation's economic disasters-depressions and strikes-in his second term. Even so, his reputation for probity and good character survived the troubles of his second term. Biographer Allan Nevins wrote, "[I]n Grover Cleveland, the greatness lies in typical rather than unusual qualities. He had no endowments that thousands of men do not have. He possessed honesty, courage, firmness, independence, and common sense. But he possessed them to a degree other men do not." By the end of his second term, public perception showed him to be one of the most unpopular U.S. presidents, and he was by then rejected even by most Democrats. Today, Cleveland is considered by most historians to have been a successful leader, and has been praised for honesty, integrity, adherence to his morals and defying party boundaries, and effective leadership.

March 18, 1314: Christianity: The Catholic Church (The Roman Catholic Church): Military Orders: The Knights Templar (The Poor Fellow-Soldiers Of Christ And Of The Temple Of Solomon): Arrests, Charges And Dissolution Of The Knights Templar: -- #DOTD: #RIP: Jacques de Molay, the 23rd and final Grand Master of the Knights Templar (b. c. 1240-1250), having insisted on his innocence and having retracted his confession of heresy given under torture, #dies when he is burned alive at the stake in Paris after being declared guilty of being a relapsed heretic. The elderly Grand Master Jacques de Molay reportedly remained defiant to the end, asking to be tied in such a way that he could face the Notre Dame Cathedral and hold his hands together in prayer. According to legend, he called out from the flames that both Pope Clement and King Philip would soon meet him before God. His actual words were recorded on the parchment as follows: "Dieu sait qui a tort et a peche. Il va bientot arriver malheur a ceux qui nous ont condamnes a mort" ("God knows who is wrong and has sinned. Soon a calamity will occur to those who have condemned us to death"). Pope Clement died only a month later, and King Philip died in a hunting accident before the end of the year. The remaining Templars around Europe were either arrested and tried under the Papal investigation (with virtually none convicted), absorbed into other Catholic military orders, or pensioned off and allowed to live out their days peacefully. Jacques de Molay was born into a family of minor or middle-ranking nobility, as most Templar knights were, probably in Molay, Haute-Saone, in the County Of Burgundy in eastern France, at the time a territory ruled by Otto III as part of the Holy Roman Empire, and in modern times in the area of Franche-Comte, northeastern France. At dawn on Friday the 13th of October 13, 1307 (Friday The 13th), King Philip IV of France ("Philip The Fair") ordered the Grand Master of the Knights Templar Jacques de Molay and hundreds of other French Templars to be simultaneously arrested by Philip's agents, to be later tortured into a "confession" of heresy. The arrest warrant started with the phrase: "Dieu n'est pas content, nous avons des ennemis de la foi dans le Royaume" ["God is not pleased. We have enemies of the faith in the kingdom"]. Claims were made that during Templar admissions ceremonies, recruits were forced to spit on the Cross, deny Christ, and engage in indecent kissing; brethren were also accused of worshipping idols, and the order was said to have encouraged homosexual practices. These allegations, though, were highly politicised without any real evidence.] Still, the Templars were charged with numerous other offences such as financial corruption, fraud, and secrecy. Many of the accused confessed to these charges under torture (even though the Templars denied being tortured in their written confessions), and their confessions, even though obtained under duress, caused a scandal in Paris. The prisoners were coerced to confess that they had spat on the Cross: "Moi, Raymond de La Fere, 21 ans, reconnais que [j'ai] crache trois fois sur la Croix, mais de bouche et pas de coeur" ["I, Raymond de La Fere, 21 years old, admit that I have spat three times on the Cross, but only from my mouth and not from my heart"]. The Templars were accused of idolatry and were suspected of worshiping either a figure known as Baphomet or a mummified severed head they recovered, amongst other artifacts, at their original headquarters on the Temple Mount that many scholars theorize might have been that of John the Baptist, among other things. These persecutions orginated from events spring from letters sent in 1305 to both the Templar Grand Master Jacques de Molay and the Hospitaller Grand Master Fulk de Villaret from the new Pope Clement V to discuss the possibility of merging the two orders. Born Raymond Bertrand de Got, Clement V became pope after Philip IV bullied a deadlocked conclave into electing him, and was himself bullied by Philip into moving the Papacy from Rome to Avignon, ushering in the period known as the Avignon Papacy, referred to as the "Babylonian captivity of the Papacy".) Neither de Molay nor de Villaret were amenable to Clement V's idea, but the Pope persisted, and in 1306 he invited both Grand Masters to France to discuss the matter. De Molay arrived first in early 1307, but de Villaret was delayed for several months. While waiting, De Molay and Clement discussed criminal charges that had been made two years earlier by an ousted Templar and were being discussed by King Philip IV of France and his ministers. It was generally agreed that the charges were false, but Clement sent the king a written request for assistance in the investigation. According to some historians, King Philip, who was already deeply in debt to the Templars from his war against England, decided to seize upon the rumours for his own purposes. He began pressuring the church to take action against the order, as a way of freeing himself from his debts. Relenting to Philip's demands, Pope Clement then issued the papal bull Pastoralis praeeminentiae on November 22, 1307, which instructed all Christian monarchs in Europe to arrest all Templars and seize their assets. Pope Clement called for papal hearings to determine the Templars' guilt or innocence, and once freed of the Inquisitors' torture, many Templars recanted their confessions. Some had sufficient legal experience to defend themselves in the trials, but in 1310, having appointed the archbishop of Sens, Philippe de Marigny, to lead the investigation, Philip blocked this attempt, using the previously forced confessions to have dozens of Templars burned at the stake in Paris. With Philip threatening military action unless the pope complied with his wishes, Pope Clement finally agreed to disband the order, citing the public scandal that had been generated by the confessions. At the Council of Vienne in 1312, he issued a series of papal bulls, including Vox in excelso, which officially dissolved the order, and Ad providam, which turned over most Templar assets to the Hospitallers. As for the leaders of the order, the elderly Grand Master Jacques de Molay, who had confessed under torture, retracted his confession. Geoffroi de Charney, Preceptor of Normandy, also retracted his confession and insisted on his innocence. Both men were declared guilty of being relapsed heretics, and they were sentenced to burn alive at the stake in Paris on March 18, 1314. By papal decree, the property of the Templars was transferred to the Knights Hospitaller except in the Kingdoms of Castile, Aragon, and Portugal. Portugal was the first country in Europe where they had settled, occurring only two or three years after the order's foundation in Jerusalem and even having presence during Portugal's conception. The Portuguese king, Denis I, refused to pursue and persecute the former knights, as had occurred in all other sovereign states under the influence of the Catholic Church. Under his protection, Templar organizations simply changed their name, from "Knights Templar" to the reconstituted Order of Christ and also a parallel Supreme Order of Christ of the Holy See; both are considered successors to the Knights Templar. In September 2001, a document known as the Chinon Parchment, dated August 17-20 1308, written in this midst of this scandal, was discovered in the Vatican Secret Archives by Barbara Frale, apparently after having been filed in the wrong place in 1628. It is a record of the trial of the Templars and shows that Clement absolved the Templars of all heresies in 1308 before formally disbanding the order in 1312, as did another Chinon Parchment dated August 20, 1308 addressed to Philip IV of France, also mentioning that all Templars that had confessed to heresy were "restored to the Sacraments and to the unity of the Church". This other Chinon Parchment has been well known to historians, having been published by Etienne Baluze in 1693 and by Pierre Dupuy in 1751. The current position of the Roman Catholic Church is that the medieval persecution of the Knights Templar was unjust, that nothing was inherently wrong with the order or its rule, and that Pope Clement was pressed into his actions by the magnitude of the public scandal and by the dominating influence of King Philip IV, who was Clement's relative.

During these sessions, Cayce would answer questions on subjects as varied as healing, reincarnation, dreams, the afterlife, past-life, nutrition, Atlantis and future events. As a devout Christian and Sunday school teacher, his channelling claims were a source of trouble for him because channelling was typically criticized by practitioners of his faith as being demonic. Cayce, in contrast, believed that it was his subconscious mind exploring the dream realm, where he believed minds were timelessly connected. Cayce founded a nonprofit organization, the Association for Research and Enlightenment, to store and facilitate the study of his channelings, as well as run a hospital.

March 8, 1911) #dies of an evening heart attack aged 73 in the city of his birth, Baltimore, Maryland. On March 23, 1984, the Sharp Street Memorial United Methodist Church overflowed with 2,500 mourners who gathered from around the country to pay their respects. Included among them was Harry Hughes (Governor of Maryland), William Donald Schaefer (Mayor of Baltimore and later Governor), Benjamin Hooks, director of the NAACP; and Dorothy Height, president of the National Council of Negro Women. His burial details are not publicly disclosed. The main city courthouse in Baltimore City was renamed as the Clarence M. Mitchell Jr. Courthouse in 1985 in his honor. Other facilities were also named for him. Clarence Mitchell Jr. was born Clarence Maurice Mitchell Jr. in Baltimore, Maryland. Mitchell waged a tireless campaign on Capitol Hill, helping to secure passage of civil rights legislation in the 1950s and 1960s: the Civil Rights Act Of 1957, the Civil Rights Act Of 1960, the Civil Rights Act Of 1964, the Voting Rights Act Of 1965 and the Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act Of 1968). In 1969, he was awarded the Spingarn Medal by the NAACP for these efforts. Later he faced some criticism in the black community for supporting Daniel Patrick Moynihan, then President Lyndon Johnson's Assistant Secretary Of Labor and future distinguished U.S. Senator from New York, who was criticized by some in the black community for a controversial book he wrote analyzing issues of the black family in the United States and poverty during Johnson's War On Poverty. Mitchell was also criticized for defending the State of Israel during its war of 1967 against Arab states. On June 9, 1980, Mitchell was presented with the "Presidential Medal Of Freedom" by 39th President Jimmy Carter. After his retirement, Mitchell wrote a Sunday editorial column for The Baltimore Sun every Sunday until his death in 1984. The Sun called it "an extraordinary commentary on the civil rights movement."

March 18, 1241: The Mongols: Mongol Invasions And Conquests: The Mongol Invasion Of Europe: The Mongol Invasions Of Poland: The First Mongol Invasion Of Poland: The Battle Of Chmielnik: -- Mongol General Subutai's Mongol armies under the command by Baidar Khan defeat the Polish knights of Pakoslaw, Voivode (warlord) of Sandomierz province, and Wlodzimierz, Voivode of Krakow. The Duke of Krakow. Boleslaw V the Chaste, withdrew prior to the battle and did not participate, escaping to Moravia. Boleslaw's escape damaged the morale of the army, and caused many others to withdraw as well, weakening the forces available to Wlodzimierz and Pakoslaw. While the Polish forces had the advantage in the first phase of the battle, the Mongols, seeing that they would not defeat the Poles in straight combat, feigned a retreat. When the Polish forces began to pursue them, they were hit by the Mongols' reinforcements and defeated comprehensively. Polish casualties were very heavy; the assembled nobility of Malopolska (Lesser Poland, a historical region situated in southern and south-eastern Poland) perished to a man. Wlodzimierz and Pakoslaw were slain, as were Castellan of Krakow Klement of Brzeznica and Castellan of Sandormierz Jakub Raciborowicz. With the defeat of the Polish army, panic spread through the nearby Polish lands. Krakow, one of the largest and most prosperous cities of Poland, was abandoned, as inhabitants fled, and as the Mongols were now able to move unimpeded, they spent several days pillaging it and the neighboring hamlets; accounts vary on how soon after the battle Mongols entered the city, but it is certain they burned it by March 24. Details of the battle were recorded in the "Annals Or Chronicles Of The Famous Kingdom Of Poland" by Jan Dlugosz, Polish priest, chronicler, diplomat, soldier, secretary to Bishop Zbigniew Olesnicki of Krakow, and Poland's first historian. The oldest mention of the town Chmielnik dates to this battle. In 1241, Chmielnik was then but a village; it would gain city rights only in the mid-16th century. In the modern town of Chmielnik there is a monument dedicated to this battle. The First Mongol Invasion Of Poland from late 1240 to 1241 culminated in the battle of Legnica, where the Mongols defeated an alliance which included forces from fragmented Poland and their allies, led by Henry II the Pious, the Duke of Silesia. The first invasion's intention was to secure the flank of the main Mongolian army attacking the Kingdom of Hungary. The Mongols neutralized any potential help to King Bela IV being provided by the Poles or any military orders.

The chief negotiators of the peace were Jan Dabski for the Polish side[3] and Adolph Joffe for the Soviet side. It divided the disputed territories between Poland and Soviet Russia; this new Soviet-Polish border divided what are today the countries of Ukraine and Belarus, and officially recognized the two new Soviet republics, the Ukrainian SSR and the Byelorussian SSR, which became parties to the treaty. The war and the treaty negotiations determined the Soviet-Polish border for the rest of the interwar period. Poland's eastern border was established at about 200 km east of the Curzon Line (a 1920 British proposal for Poland's border, based on the version approved in 1919 by the Entente leaders as the limit of Poland's expansion in the eastern direction). The Soviet-Polish borders established by the treaty remained in force until the Soviet Union invaded Poland in September 1939 at the beginning of World War II, and the eastern territories granted Poland in the Peace of Riga were thereafter annexed by the Soviet state and incorporated into the Ukrainian SSR and the Byelorussian SSR. These borders were later affirmed during the Tehran Conference, Yalta Conference and Potsdam Conference. The Polish-Soviet War (late autumn 1918 / February 14, 1919 - March 18, 1921) was primarily fought between the Second Polish Republic and the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic in the aftermath of World War I and the Russian Revolution, on territories which were formerly held by the Russian Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

March 18, 1948: The Aftermath Of World War II: The Cold War: The Eastern Bloc (The Communist Bloc, The Socialist Bloc, The Soviet Bloc): The Tito-Stalin Split (The Yugoslav-Soviet Split): -- Soviet consultants leave Yugoslavia in the first sign of the Tito-Stalin Split. On March 1, The Central Committee Of The League Of Communists Of Yugoslavia (KPJ) met and noted that Yugoslavia would remain independent only if it resisted Soviet designs for economic development of the Eastern Bloc. The USSR viewed Yugoslav's five-year economic development plan unfavourably because it did not align with the needs of the Eastern Bloc, but rather prioritised development based solely on Yugoslavia's local development needs. The central committee also dismissed the possibility of a Soviet-proposed federation with Soviet-allied Bulgaria, seeing it as a form of Trojan horse tactic, and decided to proceed with existing Yugoslav policy to create a federation with Albania. Politburo member and government minister Sreten Zujovic attended this meeting, and informed on the committee's findings to the Soviets. Albanian Deputy Prime Minister Koci Xoxe then purged all anti-Yugoslav forces from the central committee of The Albanian Communist Party (PKSH) at their February 26 - March 8 plenum. The PKSH central committee adopted a resolution that official Albanian policy was pro-Yugoslav. Albanian authorities adopted an additional secret document detailing a planned merger of Albanian forces with the Yugoslav army, citing the threat of invasion by Greek communist forces, and arguing that having Yugoslav troops at the Albanian-Greek border was an "urgent necessity". It was in response to these moves that Soviet military advisers were withdrawn from Yugoslavia on March 18. In the the aftermath of this withdrawal, Albania's authoritarian leader, Prime Minister Enver Hoxha, established the country's independence with the support of the Soviet Union, and he had his Deputy Prime Minister Xoxe arrested, tortured and executed. The Tito-Stalin Split was the culmination of a conflict between the political leaderships of Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union, under Josip Broz Tito and Joseph Stalin, respectively, in the years following World War II. Although presented by both sides as an ideological dispute, the conflict was as much the product of a geopolitical struggle in the Balkans that also involved Albania, Bulgaria, and the communist insurgency in Greece, which Tito's Yugoslavia supported and the Soviet Union secretly opposed. In the years following World War II, Yugoslavia pursued economic, internal, and foreign policy objectives that did not align with the interests of the Soviet Union and its Eastern Bloc allies. In particular, Yugoslavia hoped to admit neighbouring Albania to the Yugoslav federation. This fostered an atmosphere of insecurity within the Albanian political leadership and exacerbated tensions with the Soviet Union, which made efforts to impede Albanian-Yugoslav integration. Yugoslav support of the communist rebels in Greece against the wishes of the Soviet Union further complicated the political situation. Stalin tried to pressure Yugoslavia and moderate its policies using Bulgaria as an intermediary. When the conflict between Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union became public in 1948, it was portrayed as an ideological dispute to avoid the impression of a power struggle within the Eastern Bloc. The split ushered in purges within the Communist Party of Yugoslavia during the Informbiro Period, an era of Yugoslavia's history named after the Communist Information Bureau, an organisation initiated by Stalin that had aimed to reduce divergence among communist governments generally and the Yugoslav government particularly, that resulted in a significant level of disruption to the Yugoslav economy, which had previously depended on the Eastern Bloc. The conflict also prompted fears of an impending Soviet invasion and even a coup attempt by senior Soviet-aligned military leaders, a fear fueled by thousands of border incidents and incursions orchestrated by the Soviets and their allies. Deprived of aid from the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc, Yugoslavia subsequently requested of the United States economic and military assistance for the first time in the summer of 1948. In December, Tito announced that strategic raw materials would be shipped to the West in return for increased trade. In February 1949, the U.S. decided to provide Tito with economic assistance. In return, the U.S. demanded the cessation of Yugoslav aid to the DSE when the internal situation in Yugoslavia allowed for such a move without endangering Tito's position. Ultimately, Secretary Of State Dean Acheson took the position that the Yugoslav five-year plan would have to succeed if Tito was to prevail against Stalin. Acheson also argued that supporting Tito was in the interest of the United States, regardless of the nature of Tito's regime. The American aid helped Yugoslavia overcome the poor harvests of 1948, 1949 and 1950, but there would be almost no economic growth before 1952. Tito also received U.S. backing in Yugoslavia's successful 1949 bid for a seat on the United Nations Security Council, despite Soviet opposition. In 1949, the United States provided loans to Yugoslavia, increased them in 1950, and then provided large grants. The Yugoslavs initially avoided seeking military aid from the U.S., believing it would provide the Soviets with a pretext for invasion. By 1951, the Yugoslav authorities became convinced that a Soviet attack was inevitable irrespective of military aid from the West. Consequently, Yugoslavia was included in the Mutual Defense Assistance Program. The Tito-Stalin Split ended with the country's partial rapprochement with the Soviet Union in 1955 with the signing of the Belgrade Declaration of June 2, 1955, which brought about a short reconciliation between the two states. The declaration guaranteed noninterference in Yugoslavia's internal affairs and legitimized the right to interpret other forms of socialist development in different countries. While the declaration failed in achieving lasting rapprochement between the two countries (a result of Yugoslav anxiety over the Hungarian Revolution Of 1956) it had an effect on Yugoslav disengagement from the Balkan Pact with the NATO member states of Turkey and Greece. The document was a cornerstone for the relations between the two countries for the following 35 years until the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The Alliance for Germany, led by the East German branch of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), won 192 seats and emerged as the largest bloc in the 400-seat Volkskammer, having run on a platform of speedy reunification with West Germany. The East German branch of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), which had been dissolved in 1946 and refounded only six months before the elections, finished second with 88 seats. The former Socialist Unity Party of Germany, renamed the Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS), running in a free election for the first time, finished third with 66 seats. The Alliance was just short of the 201 seats needed to govern alone. Lothar de Maiziere of the CDU invited the SPD to join his Alliance partners - the German Social Union (DSU) and Democratic Awakening (DA) - in a grand coalition. The SPD was initially cold to de Maiziere's offer, in part because of the presence of the right-wing DSU in de Maiziere's grouping; the SPD had originally been willing to govern alongside all parties other than the PDS and DSU.[2] However, they ultimately agreed. The government, which was able to amend the constitution thanks to its two-thirds majority, subsequently organised and ratified the reunification of Germany, resulting in the dissolution of the German Democratic Republic on October 3, 1990.

December 29, 2013) is #born Anthony in Dallas, Texas. Along with his brothers Vince and Joe, he first worked as an auto mechanic and "speed-shop" entrepreneur, modifying engines such as the flathead Ford into racing-quality equipment. During World War II, he became a promoter of automobile racing events, such as the "Hurricane Racing Association", which combined racing opportunities for up-and-coming drivers with crowd-pleasing theatrics. Hurricane events, according to Granatelli in his autobiography They Call Me Mister 500, included drivers who were experts at executing and surviving roll-over and end-over-end crashes, and also an ambulance that not only got caught up into the race but also ejected a stretcher (with a dummy on it) into the way of the racers.

March 18, 1922: India: The History Of India: The British Raj (Crown Rule In India, Direct Rule In India, India, The Indian Empire): The Indian Independence Movement: The 1922 Trial Of Mahatma Gandhi: -- Mohandas Gandhi is sentenced to six years in prison for civil disobedience at the conclusion of his sedition trial, a sentence of which he serves only two years. On March 10, 1922, Gandhi is arrested on charges of sedition. . After the Amritsar Massacre, also known as the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, of hundreds of Sikh and Hindu civilians on April 13, 1919 had enraged the subcontinent, Gandhi demanded that people stop all violence, stop all property destruction, and went on fast-to-death to pressure Indians to stop their rioting.Investigation committees were formed by the British, which Gandhi asked Indians to boycott. The unfolding events, the massacre and the British response, led Gandhi to the belief that Indians will never get a fair equal treatment under British rulers, and he shifted his attention to Swaraj (self rule) and political independence for India. In 1921, Gandhi became the leader of the Indian National Congress, which he reorganised. With Congress behind him, Gandhi had political support. and the attention of the British Raj. Gandhi expanded his nonviolent non-co-operation platform to include the swadeshi policy - the boycott of foreign-made goods, especially British goods. Linked to this was his advocacy that khadi (homespun cloth) be worn by all Indians instead of British-made textiles. Gandhi exhorted Indian men and women, rich or poor, to spend time each day spinning khadi in support of the independence movement. In addition to boycotting British products, Gandhi urged the people to boycott British institutions and law courts, to resign from government employment, and to forsake British titles and honours. Gandhi thus began his journey aimed at crippling the British India government economically, politically and administratively. As the popularity of non-cooperation grew among all strata of Indian society, it threatened the power of the British Raj to such an extent that Gandhi was arrested on March 10, 1922, tried for sedition, and sentenced to six years' imprisonment. He began his sentence on March 18, 1922. Ultimately, he would be released after nearly two years in prison in order to obtain an appendicitis operation.

March 18, 1937: The Interwar Period (The Interbellum, Between The Wars): The Spanish Civil War: The Battle Of Guadalajara: -- Spanish Republican forces launch their counteroffensive and defeat the Italian forces opposing them at the Battle Of Guadalajara. At dawn, Chief of the General Staff of the Spanish Armed Forces during the Spanish Civil War Vicente Rojo Lluch ordered and General Cipriano Mera tp lead the Spanish 14th Division across the pontoon bridge over the Tajuna River. They had cover from heavy sleet, but the weather also delayed the assault. After midday, the weather had improved enough to allow The Spanish Republican Air Force to operate. At around 13:30, Spanish military colonel Enrique Jurado Barrio gave the order to attack. General General Enrique Lister was slowed by the Italian Littorio Division, largely considered to be the best of the Italian units. The 14th Division managed to surround Brihuega, and the Italians retreated in panic. The remaining Italian soldiers were cleared out by the Assault Guards and XI International Brigade. An Italian counterattack on Republican positions failed and was repulsed by the Assault Guard Division, arguably the best of the Spanish Republican units. The attack by the Assault Guard Division was spearheaded by the 1st Assault Brigade to devastating effect, inflicting heavy losses on the Italians. The Littorio Division saved the Italians from a complete disaster when they conducted a well-organized retreat. The Battle Of Guadalajara (March 8-23, 1937) saw the People's Republican Army defeat Italian and Nationalist forces attempting to encircle Madrid. The Nationalist forces involved in the Battle Of Guadalajara were primarily the Italian Corps of Volunteer Troops. The battle opened with an Italian offensive on March 8. This offensive was halted by March 11. Between March 12 and March 14, renewed Italian attacks were supported by Spanish Nationalist units. These were halted too. On March 15, a Republican counter-offensive was prepared. The Republicans successfully launched their counter-offensive from March 18 to March 23.

In December 1946, after a designation change to AD-1, delivery of the first production aircraft to a fleet squadron was made to VA-19A. The Douglas A-1 Skyraider, originally known as the Douglas AD Skyraider, is an American single-seat attack aircraft that was in service from 1946 to the early 1980s, and served during the Korean War and Vietnam War. The Skyraider had an unusually long career, remaining in front-line service well into the Jet Age (when most piston-engine attack or fighter aircraft were replaced by Jet aircraft); thus becoming known by some as an "anachronism". The aircraft was nicknamed "Spad", after the celebrated French World War I bi-plane fighter, with which it has a resemblance. It was operated by the United States Navy (USN), the United States Marine Corps (USMC), and the United States Air Force (USAF), and also saw service with the British Royal Navy, the French Air Force, the Republic of Vietnam Air Force (RVNAF), and others. It remained in U.S. service until the early 1970s. The jet powered A-10 Thunderbolt II, though in the tradition of the the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt fighter-bomber, was based on specifications for a modernized Skyraider, which was itself in the same tradition, with a heavy payload and good endurance.

The targets of these attacks were sanctuaries and base areas of the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN - commonly referred to during the Vietnam War as the North Vietnamese Army [NVA]) and forces of the Viet Cong (VC), which used them for resupply, training, and resting between campaigns across the border in the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam). The impact of the bombing campaign on the Khmer Rouge guerrillas, the PAVN, and Cambodian civilians in the bombed areas is disputed by historians. An official United States Air Force record of US bombing activity over Indochina from 1964 to 1973 was declassified by US President Bill Clinton in 2000. The report gives details of the extent of the bombing of Cambodia, as well as of Laos and Vietnam. According to the data, the air force began bombing the rural regions of Cambodia along its South Vietnam border in 1965 under the Johnson administration; this was four years earlier than previously believed. The Menu bombings were an escalation of what had previously been tactical air attacks. Newly inaugurated President Richard Nixon authorized for the first time use of long-range Boeing B-52 Stratofortress heavy bombers to carpet bomb Cambodia. Operation Freedom Deal immediately followed Operation Menu. Under Freedom Deal, B-52 bombing was expanded to a much larger area of Cambodia and continued until August 1973.

March 18, 1782: #BOTD: John C. Calhoun, American lawyer, political theorist, politician and statesman, 7th Vice President of the United States from 1825 to 1832, the first American ever to resign the office of vice president, most remembered for strongly defending slavery and for advancing the concept of minority rights in politics, which he did in the context of defending white Southern interests from perceived Northern threats (d. March 31, 1850) is #born John Caldwell Calhoun in Abbeville District, South Carolina. He began his political career as a nationalist, modernizer, and proponent of a strong national government and protective tariffs. By the late 1820s, his views reversed and he became a leading proponent of states' rights, limited government, nullification, and opposition to high tariffs; he saw Northern acceptance of these policies as the only way to keep the South in the Union. His beliefs and warnings heavily influenced the South's secession from the Union in 1860-1861. Calhoun began his political career in the House of Representatives. As a prominent leader of the war hawk faction, Calhoun strongly supported the War Of 1812 to defend American honor against British infractions of American independence and neutrality during the Napoleonic Wars. He then served as Secretary of War under President James Monroe, and in this position reorganized and modernized the War Department. Calhoun was a candidate for the presidency in the 1824 election. After failing to gain support, he let his name be put forth as a candidate for vice president. The Electoral College elected Calhoun for vice president by an overwhelming majority. He served under John Quincy Adams and continued under Andrew Jackson, who defeated Adams in the election of 1828. Calhoun had a difficult relationship with Jackson primarily due to the Nullification Crisis and the Petticoat affair. In contrast with his previous nationalism, Calhoun vigorously supported South Carolina's right to nullify federal tariff legislation he believed unfairly favored the North, putting him into conflict with unionists such as Jackson. In 1832, with only a few months remaining in his second term, he resigned as vice president and entered the Senate. He sought the Democratic nomination for the presidency in 1844, but lost to surprise nominee James K. Polk, who went on to become president. Calhoun served as Secretary Of State under John Tyler from 1844 to 1845. As Secretary Of State, he supported the annexation of Texas as a means to extend the slave power, and helped settle the Oregon boundary dispute with Britain. He then returned to the Senate, where he opposed the Mexican-American War, the Wilmot Proviso, and the Compromise Of 1850 before his death in 1850. Calhoun often served as a virtual party-independent who variously aligned as needed with Democrats and Whigs. Later in life, Calhoun became known as the "cast-iron man" for his rigid defense of white Southern beliefs and practices. His concept of republicanism emphasized approval of slavery and minority rights, as particularly embodied by the Southern states; he owned dozens of slaves in Fort Hill, South Carolina. Calhoun also asserted that slavery, rather than being a "necessary evil", was a "positive good", benefiting both slaves and slave owners. To protect minority rights against majority rule, he called for a concurrent majority whereby the minority could sometimes block proposals that it felt infringed on their liberties. To this end, Calhoun supported states' rights and nullification, through which states could declare null and void federal laws that they viewed as unconstitutional. Calhoun was one of the "Great Triumvirate" or the "Immortal Trio" of Congressional leaders, along with his Congressional colleagues Daniel Webster and Henry Clay. In 1957, a Senate Committee headed by Senator John F. Kennedy selected Calhoun as one of the five greatest United States Senators of all time.

March 18, 1869: #BOTD: #HBD! Neville Chamberlain, English businessman, politician and statesman, British Conservative Party member who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from May 1937 to May 1940, best known for his appeasement foreign policy, and in particular for his signing of the Munich Agreement in 1938, conceding the German-speaking Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia to Germany (d. November 9 1940) is #born Arthur Neville Chamberlain in a house called Southbourne in the Edgbaston district of Birmingham. West Midlands, England. In spite of Chamberlain's efforts to secure peace in Europe with Adolf Hitler, Hitler later invaded Poland, the UK declared war on Germany on September 3 ,1939, and Chamberlain led Britain through the first eight months of World War II. After working in business and local government and after a short spell as Director of National Service in 1916 and 1917, Chamberlain followed his father, Joseph Chamberlain, and older half-brother, Austen Chamberlain, in becoming a member of parliament in the 1918 general election at age 49. He declined a junior ministerial position, remaining a backbencher until 1922. He was rapidly promoted in 1923 to Minister of Health and then Chancellor of the Exchequer. After a short Labour-led government, he returned as Minister of Health, introducing a range of reform measures from 1924 to 1929. He was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer in the National Government in 1931. When Stanley Baldwin retired in May 1937, Chamberlain took his place as Prime Minister. His premiership was dominated by the question of policy towards an increasingly aggressive Germany, and his actions at Munich were widely popular among Britons at the time. When Hitler continued his aggression, Chamberlain pledged Britain to defend Poland' independence if the latter were attacked, an alliance that brought Britain into war when Germany attacked Poland in 1939. Chamberlain resigned the premiership on 10 May 1940 after the Allies were forced to retreat from Norway, as he believed that a government supported by all parties was essential, and the Labour and Liberal parties would not join a government headed by him. He was succeeded by Winston Churchill but remained very well-regarded in Parliament, especially among Conservatives. Before ill-health forced him to resign, he was an important member of Churchill's War Cabinet, heading it in the new premier' absence. Chamberlain died of cancer six months after leaving the premiership. Chamberlain' reputation remains controversial among historians, with the initial high regard for him being entirely eroded by books such as Guilty Men, published in July 1940, which blamed Chamberlain and his associates for the Munich accord and for allegedly failing to prepare the country for war. Most historians in the generation following Chamberlain' death held similar views, led by Churchill in The Gathering Storm. Some recent historians have taken a more favourable perspective of Chamberlain and his policies, citing government papers released under the Thirty Year Rule and arguing that going to war with Germany in 1938 would have been disastrous as the UK was not ready. Nevertheless, Chamberlain is still unfavourably ranked amongst British Prime Ministers.

The Pact of Steel (German: Stahlpakt, Italian: Patto d'Acciaio), known formally as the Pact of Friendship and Alliance between Germany and Italy, was a military and political alliance between Italy and Germany that was initially drafted as a tripartite military alliance between Japan, Italy and Germany. While Japan wanted the focus of the pact to be aimed at the Soviet Union, Italy and Germany wanted it aimed at the British Empire and France. Due to this disagreement, the pact was signed without Japan and became an agreement between Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, signed on May 22, 1939 by foreign ministers Galeazzo Ciano of Italy and Joachim von Ribbentrop of Germany. Officially, the Pact of Steel obliged Germany and Italy to aid the other country militarily, economically or otherwise in the event of war, and to collaborate in wartime production. The Pact aimed to ensure that neither country was able to make peace without the agreement of the other. The agreement was based on the assumption that a war would not occur within three years. When Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939 and war broke out on September 3, Italy was not yet prepared for conflict and had difficulty meeting its obligations. Consequently, Italy did not enter World War II until June 1940, with a delayed invasion of Southern France. After the German surrender in 1945, the Brenner Pass was part of the ratlines that were used to escape Europe and justice by some fleeing Nazis.

March 24, 1962) is #born John Jean Goldkette, reportedly in Valenciennes, France, but there is evidence that he was born in Patras, Greece. His mother, Angela Goldkette, was a circus performer from Denmark. His father is unknown. He spent his childhood in Greece and Russia, where he studied piano at the Moscow Conservatory as a child prodigy. The family emigrated to the United States in 1911. He performed in a classical ensemble in Chicago at the age of 15, later joining one of Edgar Benson's dance orchestras. He leased a ballroom in Detroit and formed a band which grew to success, and was the foundation for a business empire acting as an agency for twenty orchestras and owning many dance halls. In 1936 he filed for bankruptcy, but over the next three decades he built up business again as a musician, conductor and promoter. He married Lee McQuillen, a newspaperwoman, on March 4, 1939. He led many jazz and dance bands, of which the most popular was his Victor Recording Orchestra of 1924-1929. The band defeated Fletcher Henderson in a battle of the bands contest. The head arranger was Bill Challis and the musicians included Bix Beiderbecke, Steve Brown, Hoagy Carmichael, Jimmy Dorsey, Tommy Dorsey, Eddie Lang, Chauncey Morehouse, Don Murray, Bill Rank, and Spiegle Willcox. Rex Stewart, a member of Henderson's band, wrote that "It was, without any question, the greatest in the world...the original predecessor to any large white dance orchestra that followed, up to Benny Goodman." Brian Rust also called it "the greatest band of them all." Goldkette was music director for the Detroit Athletic Club for over 20 years and co-owned the Graystone Ballroom in Detroit with Charles Horvath, who performed with the Goldkette Victor Band in its early years. He owned his own entertainment company, Jean Goldkette's Orchestras and Attractions, working out of the Book-Cadillac Hotel in Detroit. He co-wrote the song "It's the Blues (No. 14 Blues)" which was recorded in Detroit and released by Victor. He also wrote the words to the 1926 song "New Steps". In 1927, Paul Whiteman hired most of Goldkette's better player due to Goldkette's inability to meet payroll for his top-notch musicians. Goldkette helped organize McKinney's Cotton Pickers and Glen Gray's Orange Blossoms, which became popular as the Casa Loma Orchestra. In the 1930s he left jazz to work as a booking agent and classical pianist. In 1939, he organized the American Symphony Orchestra which debuted at Carnegie Hall. Frankie Laine worked as Goldkette's librarian. He moved to California in 1961 and the following year died in Santa Barbara, California, of a heart attack at the age of 69. He took a taxi to the hospital by himself and died that same day. He is buried in the Angelus-Rosedale Cemetery in Los Angeles, California.

His son, Taylor, described it as a mixture of "old New England, old New York, tinged with a hint of King's College King's English."

March 18, 1924: #BOTD: #HBD! Paul Keyes, writer and producer specializing in television comedy, known for Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In (d. January 2, 2004) is #born in Dorchester, Massachusetts, USA. He was also known for The Dean Martin Show (1965) and All-Star Party for Lucille Ball (1984). He was nominated for 10 and won 3 Emmy Awards. As a teenager Paul Keyes met Frank Sinatra and the two became lifelong friends. Keyes became interested in writing while serving with U.S. Army Special Services during World War II. Keyes watched election returns in 1968 with Richard Nixon and claims to be the first person to have addressed him as "Mr. President." Paul W. Keyes's credits on "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" went beyond producing and comedy writing. Mr. Keyes cajoled Richard Nixon to appear on the satirical TV show and exclaim "Sock it to me" to the camera. Mr. Keyes also hid Goldie Hawn's cue cards to induce her to giggle and helped make the elfin former go-go dancer a star. He began his career as an announcer at a radio station in Portland, Maine. He left the post to serve in the Army during World War II. After victory in Europe, he was assigned to the Special Services unit that operated an Armed Services Network station in Munich, where he wrote news reports and produced his own weekly show. When he returned to Boston after the war, he had difficulty resuming his radio career. He credited Edwin O'Connor for giving him his start. "Ed was a production director at WNAC," Mr. Keyes recalled in a story published in the Globe in 1961. "When I came in to see him, he looked over my stuff and listened to my story with interest. Next thing I heard, O'Connor had resigned to write a book and had recommended that I be taken on in his place." The book, of course, was "The Last Hurrah." Mr. Keyes dreamed of working for a network, so he soon moved to New York City and began writing every day. "It was tough trying to make a go of it, " he recalled. "My stuff was slow selling." He supported himself in New York by writing sketches for Gordon Swan's "Swan Boat Show" on WBZ in Boston, which provided him with a salary of 35 USD a week. "There's no platform in this game, no escalator for success," he said in 1961. "You learn your craft by hard work, until you find you're earning more by working less, which means you are beginning to get recognition." Mr. Keyes wrote for Kay Ballard's nightclub act, scripts for the Senator Claghorn character on the "Jackie Gleason Show" and summer-stock material for Tallulah Bankhead before getting a job at NBC. There, he worked as a writer and producer for Steve Allen and Jack Paar, early hosts of the "Tonight Show." While at the "Tonight Show," he met Richard Nixon and they became friends. They kept in touch when Mr. Keyes moved to Los Angeles to write for the "Dean Martin Show" and later for "Laugh-In." "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In" first appeared as a TV special on Sept. 9, 1967. It returned as a series that ran from Jan. 22, 1968, to the fall of 1973. The sassy, satirical show with the jump cuts, jive talk, and breezy sketches had a strong influence on TV programming that followed. Popularized on the show were such catchphrases as "Look that up in your Funk & Wagnalls," "You bet your bippy," and "Sock it to me." Mr. Keyes won an Emmy Award as a writer for the show in 1968 and another as its producer in 1969. He then left the show, because "the program has become slanted, and vulgar, and dirty," he said in a story published in the Globe at the time. Some suspected he disapproved at the potshots taken at Nixon on the show, but Mr. Keyes denied it. He returned to the show 18 months later. Mr. Keyes won another Emmy Award in 1974 for producing "The American Film Institute Salute to James Cagney." He was nominated for seven other Emmys during a long career in TV, which included writing for the Academy Awards and People's Choice Award shows. A pal of movie actor John Wayne and singer Frank Sinatra, he often wrote bits for each. His behind-the-scenes role in the appearance of Nixon on "Laugh-In" produced one of the most bizarre moments in TV history. "Nixon had a reputation for no sense of humor," George Schlatter, the creator of "Laugh-In," said in a story published last year in the Los Angeles Times. Mr. Keyes persuaded him to appear on "Laugh-In" to change his image. "Paul convinced him that this would expose him to a different kind of audience as a good guy," Schlatter said. So on Sept. 16, 1968, the year of the Tet Offensive in Vietnam and the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy, the jowly former vice president with the 5 o'clock shadow glared into a TV camera and exclaimed, "Sock it to me." Millions of TV viewers were alternately appalled and impressed. "We tried to get Humphrey to appear on the show," said Schlatter. "We chased him all over, but he wouldn't do it." Two months later, Richard Milhous Nixon beat Hubert Horatio Humphrey in the presidential election.In 1994 he was inducted into the Producers Guild of America Hall of Fame. Paul Keyes died on January 2, 2004 in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, California, USA.

March 17, 1877: First African Americans: The Presidency Of Rutherford B. Hayes: Political Appointments In The United States: United States Marshals For The District Of Columbia: -- Frederick Douglass, African American escaped slave, abolitionist, activist, social reformer, orator, writer, and statesman, is confirmed as United States Marshal For The District Of Columbia, the first person of color to be so named, following a United States Senate votes to approve newly elected Republican President Rutherford B. Hayes' appointment of Douglass for the post. Douglass accepted the appointment, which helped assure his family's financial security, in the aftermath both of The Freedman's Savings Bank's going bankrupt on June 29, 1874, just a few months after Douglass became its president in late March, and his final newspaper, The New National Era, failed in September. During his tenure, Douglass was urged by his supporters to resign from his commission, since he was never asked to introduce visiting foreign dignitaries to the President, which is one of the usual duties of that post. However, Douglass believed that no covert racism was implied by the omission and stated that he was always warmly welcomed in presidential circles.

March 18, 2017: #DOTD: #RIP: Chuck Berry, African American singer-songwriter, guitarist, musician and one of the pioneers of rock and roll music (b. October 18, 1926) #dies at his home near Wentzville, Missouri after suffering a bout of pneumonia, aged 90. Berry's funeral was held on April 9, 2017, at The Pageant, in Berry's home town of St. Louis. He was remembered with a public viewing by family, friends, and fans in The Pageant, a music club where he often performed. He was viewed with his cherry-red Gibson ES-335 guitar bolted to the inside lid of the coffin and with flower arrangements that included one sent by the Rolling Stones in the shape of a guitar. Afterwards a private service was held in the club celebrating Berry's life and musical career, with the Berry family inviting 300 members of the public into the service. Gene Simmons of Kiss gave an impromptu, unadvertised eulogy at the service, while Little Richard was scheduled to lead the funeral procession but was unable to attend due to an illness. The night before, many St. Louis area bars held a mass toast at 10 pm in Berry's honor. Berry is interred in a mausoleum in Bellerive Gardens Cemetery in St. Louis. Chuck Berry was born Charles Edward Anderson Berry into a middle-class African American family in St. Louis, Missouri. With songs such as "Maybellene" (1955), "Roll Over Beethoven" (1956), "Rock and Roll Music" (1957) and "Johnny B. Goode" (1958), Chuck Berry refined and developed rhythm and blues into the major elements that made rock and roll distinctive. Writing lyrics that focused on teen life and consumerism, and developing a music style that included guitar solos and showmanship, Berry was a major influence on subsequent rock music. Berry had an interest in music from an early age and gave his first public performance at Sumner High School. While still a high school student he was convicted of armed robbery and was sent to a reformatory, where he was held from 1944 to 1947. After his release, Berry settled into married life and worked at an automobile assembly plant. By early 1953, influenced by the guitar riffs and showmanship techniques of the blues musician T-Bone Walker, Berry began performing with the Johnnie Johnson Trio. His break came when he traveled to Chicago in May 1955 and met Muddy Waters, who suggested he contact Leonard Chess, of Chess Records. With Chess, he recorded "Maybellene", Berry' adaptation of the country song "Ida Red", which sold over a million copies, reaching number one on Billboard magazine' rhythm and blues chart. By the end of the 1950s, Berry was an established star, with several hit records and film appearances and a lucrative touring career. He had also established his own St. Louis nightclub, Berry' Club Bandstand. But in January 1962, he was sentenced to three years in prison for offenses under the Mann Act: he had transported a 14-year-old girl across state lines. After his release in 1963, Berry had several more hits, including "No Particular Place to Go", "You Never Can Tell", and "Nadine". His insistence on being paid in cash led in 1979 to a four-month jail sentence and community service, for tax evasion. Berry was among the first musicians to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on its opening in 1986; he was cited for having "laid the groundwork for not only a rock and roll sound but a rock and roll stance." Berry is included in several of Rolling Stone magazine' "greatest of all time" lists; he was ranked fifth on its 2004 and 2011 list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame' 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll includes three of Berry': "Johnny B. Goode", "Maybellene", and "Rock and Roll Music". Berry' "Johnny B. Goode" is the only rock-and-roll song included on the Voyager Golden Record.

March 18, 1941: #BOTD: #HBD! Wilson Pickettt, African American singer and songwriter, a major figure in the development of American soul music who recorded over 50 songs which made the US R & B charts, many of which crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100, whose best-known hits are "In the Midnight Hour" (which he co-wrote), "Land Of 1,000 Dances", "Mustang Sally", and "Funky Broadway" (d. January 19, 2006) is #born in Prattville, Alabama, and sang in Baptist church choirs. He was the fourth of 11 children and called his mother "the baddest woman in my book," telling historian Gerri Hirshey: "I get scared of her now. She used to hit me with anything, skillets, stove wood ... [one time I ran away and] cried for a week. Stayed in the woods, me and my little dog." Pickett eventually left to live with his father in Detroit in 1955. Pickett's forceful, passionate style of singing was developed in the church and on the streets of Detroit,[4] under the influence of recording stars such as Little Richard, whom he referred to as "the architect of rock and roll." In 1955, Pickett joined the Violinaires, a gospel group. The Violinaires played with another gospel group on concert tour in America. After singing for four years in the popular gospel-harmony group, Pickett, lured by the success of gospel singers who had moved to the lucrative secular music market. Pickett was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991, in recognition of his impact on songwriting and recording. Wilson Picket died of a heart attack in Reston, Virginia hospital, aged 64; he had been suffering from health problems for the last year of his life and had spent considerable time in the hospital. At the time of his death, Pickett was living in Ashburn, Virginia. He was laid to rest in a mausoleum at Evergreen Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky. Pickett spent many years in Louisville. Pastor Steve Owens of Decatur, Georgia, presided over his funeral, and Little Richard, a long-time friend of Pickett's, delivered the eulogy. Pickett was remembered on March 20, 2006, at New York's B. B. King Blues Club with performances by the Commitments, Ben E.

March 18, 2001: #DOTD: #RIP: John Phillips, American singer, guitarist, songwriter, and promoter (b. August 30, 1935) #dies of heart failure in Los Angeles at the age of 65, days after completing recording sessions for a new album. He is interred at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Cathedral City, near Palm Springs. Born John Edmund Andrew Phillips in Parris Island, South Carolina, he is best known as the leader of the vocal group The Mamas & the Papas. He was one of the chief organizers of the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. The Mamas and the Papas was an American folk rock vocal group which recorded and performed from 1965 to 1968. The group was a defining force in the music scene of the counterculture of the 1960s. The group was composed of John Phillips, Denny Doherty, Cass Elliot, and Michelle Phillips (born Holly Gilliam). Their sound was based on vocal harmonies arranged by John Phillips, the songwriter, musician, and leader of the group who adapted folk to the new beat style of the early 1960s. The Mamas and the Papas released five studio albums and 17 singles over four years, six of which made the Billboard top 10 and have sold close to 40 million records worldwide. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 for its contributions to the music industry. The band reunited briefly to record the album People Like Us in 1971 but had ceased touring and performing by that time. The Monterey International Pop Music Festival was a three-day concert event held June 16 to June 18, 1967 at the Monterey County Fairgrounds in Monterey, California. The festival is remembered for the first major American appearances by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, the Who and Ravi Shankar, the first large-scale public performance of Janis Joplin and the introduction of Otis Redding to a mass American audience. The Monterey Pop Festival embodied the theme of California as a focal point for the counterculture and generally is regarded as one of the beginnings of the "Summer of Love" in 1967; the first rock festival had been held just one week earlier at Mount Tamalpais in Marin County, California, the KFRC Fantasy Fair and Magic Mountain Music Festival. Because Monterey was widely promoted and heavily attended, featured historic performances, and was the subject of a popular theatrical documentary film, it became an inspiration and a template for future music festivals, including the Woodstock Festival two years later. Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner said "Monterey was the nexus - it sprang from what the Beatles began, and from it from it sprang what followed"; the Beatles had just released their landmark "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album mere weeks before, and it as well as the Monterey Pop Festival greatly influenced all popular music that followed them.

March 18, 1871: The Unification Of Germany (German: Deutsche Einigung): The Franco-Prussian War (The Franco-German War, The War Of 1870): The Siege Of Paris (The Siege Of Paris 1870-1871): The Paris Commune (March 18 - May 28, 1871: -- An angry mob of French revolutionaries violently seizes power in Paris and forms a revolutionary government; in response, the President Of The French Republic, Adolphe Thiers, orders the evacuation of Paris to Versailles, where he could gather enough troops to take back Paris. At about 5:30 that morning, an angry crowd of national guardsmen and deserters from French Claude Lecomte's regiment at Rue des Rosiers seized General Clement-Thomas, beat him with rifle butts, pushed him into the garden, and shot him repeatedly. A few minutes later, they did the same to General Lecomte. Doctor Guyon, who examined the bodies shortly afterwards, found forty bullets in Clement-Thomas's body and nine in Lecomte's back. By late morning, the operation to recapture the 400 obsolete muzzle-loading bronze cannons that remained in the city at Montmartre had failed, and crowds and barricades were appearing in all the working-class neighborhoods of Paris. General Joseph Vinoy ordered the army to pull back to the Seine, and French President Thiers began to organise his withdrawal, and on the advice of General Vinoy, Thiers ordered the evacuation to Versailles of all the regular forces in Paris, some 40,000 soldiers, including those in the fortresses around the city; the regrouping of all the army units in Versailles; and the departure of all government ministries from the city. That afternoon, following the government's failed attempt to seize the cannons, the Central Committee of the National Guard ordered the three battalions to seize the Hotel de Ville, where they believed the government was located. They were not aware that Thiers, the government, and the military commanders were at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where the gates were open and there were few guards. They were also unaware that Marshal Patrice MacMahon, the future commander of the forces against the Commune, had just arrived at his home in Paris, having just been released from imprisonment in Germany. As soon as he heard the news of the uprising, he made his way to the railway station, where national guardsmen were already stopping and checking the identity of departing passengers. A sympathetic station manager hid him in his office and helped him board a train, and he escaped the city. While he was at the railway station, national guardsmen sent by the Central Committee arrived at his house looking for him. The Paris Commune was spontaneously formed during the aftermath of the defeat of Emperor Napoleon III in September 1870, when the Second French Empire swiftly collapsed, and n its stead rose a Third Republic at war with Prussia, which laid siege to Paris for four months. A hotbed of working-class radicalism, France's capital was primarily defended during this time by the often politicized and radical troops of the National Guard rather than regular Army troops. In February 1871 Adolphe Thiers, the new chief executive of the French national government, signed an armistice with Prussia that disarmed the Army but not the National Guard. Soldiers of the Commune's National Guard killed two French army generals, and the Commune refused to accept the authority of the French government. The regular French Army suppressed the Commune during "La semaine sanglante" ("The Bloody Week") beginning on May 21, 1871. Debates over the policies and outcome of the Commune had significant influence on the ideas of Karl Marx, who described it as an example of the "dictatorship of the proletariat".

Today, March 18, 2024
March 18, 1850: #BOTD: #HBD! Alfred Maudslay, British diplomat, explorer, and archaeologist (d. January 22, 1931) is #born at Lower Norwood Lodge, near London, England into a wealthy engineering family descended from Henry Maudslay, English machine tool innovator, tool and die maker, and inventor considered a founding father of machine tool technology, whose iinventions were an important foundation for the Industrial Revolution. Alfred Percival Maudslay FRAI was one of the first Europeans to study Maya ruins. He also fully translated and annotated the best version of Bernal Diaz del Castillo's Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva Espana from the only original manuscript in 1908 for the Hakluyt Society, which was abridged in 1928. Maudslay was educated at Royal Tunbridge Wells and Harrow School, and studied natural sciences at Trinity Hall, Cambridge in 1868-72, where he was acquainted with John Willis Clark, then Secretary of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society. After graduation, Maudslay enrolled in medical school but left because of acute bronchitis. After leaving Medical School, he moved to Trinidad, becoming private secretary to Governor William Cairns, and transferred with Cairns to Queensland. He subsequently moved to Fiji to work with Sir Arthur Gordon, its governor, and helped campaign against rebellious local tribes. Later he served as British consul in Tonga and Samoa. In February 1880, Maudslay resigned from the colonial service to pursue his own interests, having spent six years in the British Pacific colonies. He then joined his siblings in Calcutta during their round-the-world trip, returned to Britain in December, and then set out for Guatemala via British Honduras. In Guatemala, Maudslay began the major archaeological work for which he is now best remembered. He started at the Maya ruins of Quirigua and Copan where, with the help of Frank Sarg, he hired labourers to help clear and survey the remaining structures and artefacts. Sarg also introduced Maudslay to the newly found ruins in Tikal and to reliable guide Gorgonio Lopez. Maudslay was the first to describe the site of Yaxchilan. With Teobert Maler, Alfred Maudslay explored Chichen in the 1880s and both spent several weeks at the site and took extensive photographs. Maudslay published the first long-form description of Chichen Itza in his book, "Biologia Centrali-Americana". In the course of his surveys, Maudslay pioneered many of the later archaeological techniques. He hired Italian expert Lorenzo Giuntini and technicians to make plaster casts of the carvings, while Gorgonio Lopez made casts of papier-mache. Artist Annie Hunter drew impressions of the casts before they were shipped to museums in England and the United States. Maudslay also took numerous detailed photographs - dry plate photography was then a new technique - and made copies of the inscriptions. All told, Maudslay made a total of six expeditions to Maya ruins. After 13 years of preparation, he published his findings in 1902 as a 5-volume compendium entitled Biologia Centrali-Americana, which contained numerous excellent drawings and photographs of Maya ruins, Maudslay's commentary, and an appendix on archaic calendars by Joseph Thompson Goodman. Maudslay also applied for permission to make a survey of Monte Alban in Oaxaca but when he finally received permission in 1902, he could no longer finance the work with his own money. The firm of Maudslay, Sons and Field had gone bankrupt and reduced Maudslay's income. He unsuccessfully applied for funding from the Carnegie Institution. The Maudslays moved to San Angel near Mexico City for two years. In 1905, Maudslay began to translate the memoirs of Bernal Diaz del Castillo, who had been a soldier in the troops of the conquistadors; he completed it in 1912. In 1907 the Maudslays moved permanently back to Britain. Maudslay become a President of the Royal Anthropological Institute 1911-12. He also chaired the 18th International Congress of Americanists in London in 1912. In 1892, Maudslay married US-born Anne Cary Morris, a granddaughter of Gouverneur Morris. For their honeymoon, the couple sailed to Guatemala via New York and San Francisco. There the Maudslays worked for two weeks on behalf of the Peabody Museum of Harvard University. Their account was published in 1899 as A Glimpse at Guatemala. Annie Maudslay died in 1926. In 1928, Maudslay married widow Alice Purdon. In the following years he finished his memoirs, Life in the Pacific Fifty Years Ago. Alfred Maudslay died January 22, 1931 in Hereford, England. He was buried in the crypt of Hereford Cathedral next to his first wife. Materials he collected are currently stored at Harvard and the British Museum.

March 18, 1886: #BOTD: #HBD! Edward Everett Horton, American character actor, singer, and dancer (d. September 29, 1970) is #born in Kings County, New York (now Brooklyn, New York City). He had a long career in film, theater, radio, television, and voice work for animated cartoons. He is best known to the Baby Boomer generation as the venerable narrator of Fractured Fairy Tales on The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show that originally aired from November 19, 1959, to June 27, 1964, on the ABC and NBC television networks. Horton was born in Brooklyn, New York (then an independent city), to Edward Everett Horton, a compositor (a person who sets the type or text for printing) for The New York Times, and his wife, Isabella S. (nee Diack) Horton. His father had English and German ancestry, while his mother was born in Matanzas, Cuba, to George and Mary (Orr) Diack, natives of Scotland. He attended Boys' High School, Brooklyn, and Baltimore City College, where he was later inducted into their Hall of Fame. He began his college career at Oberlin College in Ohio. However, he was asked to leave after he climbed to the top of a building and, after a crowd gathered, threw off a dummy, making them think he had jumped. He then attended Brooklyn Polytechnic, followed by Columbia University, where he was a member of Phi Kappa Psi. Horton began his stage career in 1906, singing and dancing and playing small parts in vaudeville and in Broadway productions. In 1919, he moved to Los Angeles, California, where he began acting in Hollywood films. His first starring role was in the comedy Too Much Business (1922), but he portrayed the lead role of an idealistic young classical composer in the drama Beggar on Horseback (1925). In the late 1920s, he starred in two-reel silent comedies for Educational Pictures and made the transition to talking pictures with Educational in 1929. As a stage-trained performer, he found more film work easily and appeared in some of Warner Bros.' early talkies, including The Terror (1928) and Sonny Boy (1929). Horton initially used his given name, Edward Horton, professionally, but his father persuaded him to adopt his full name professionally, reasoning that other actors might be named Edward Horton, but only one named Edward Everett Horton. Horton soon cultivated his own special variation of the time-honored double take (an actor's reaction to something, followed by a delayed, more extreme reaction). In Horton's version, he would smile ingratiatingly and nod in agreement with what just happened; then, when realization set in, his facial features collapsed entirely into a sober, troubled mask. Horton starred in many comedy features in the 1930s, usually playing a mousy fellow who put up with domestic or professional problems to a certain point and then finally asserted himself for a happy ending. He is best known, however, for his work as a character actor in supporting roles. These include The Front Page (1931), Trouble in Paradise (1932), Alice In Wonderland (1933), The Gay Divorcee (1934, the first of several Astaire/Rogers films in which Horton appeared), Top Hat (1935), Danger - Love at Work (1937), Lost Horizon (1937), Holiday (1938), Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941), Arsenic and Old Lace (1944), Pocketful of Miracles (1961), It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963), and Sex and the Single Girl (1964). His last role was in the comedy film Cold Turkey (1971), in which his character communicated only through facial expressions. Horton continued to appear in stage productions, often in summer stock. His performance in the play Springtime for Henry became a perennial in summer theaters. From 1945 to 1947, Horton hosted radio's Kraft Music Hall. An early television appearance came in the play Sham, shown on The Chevrolet Tele-Theatre on December 13, 1948. During the 1950s, Horton worked primarily in television. One of his best-remembered appearances is in an episode of CBS's I Love Lucy, broadcast in 1952, in which he is cast against type as a frisky, amorous suitor. In 1960, he guest-starred on ABC's sitcom The Real McCoys as J. Luther Medwick, grandfather of the boyfriend of series character Hassie McCoy (Lydia Reed). In the story line, Medwick clashes with the equally outspoken Grandpa Amos McCoy (played by Walter Brennan). In 1962, he portrayed the character Uncle Ned in three episodes of the CBS television series Dennis the Menace. In 1965, he played the medicine man, Roaring Chicken, in the ABC sitcom F Troop. He echoed this role, portraying Chief Screaming Chicken, on ABC's Batman as a pawn to Vincent Price's Egghead in the villain's attempt to take control of Gotham City. Horton died of cancer in 1970 at age 84 in Encino, California. His remains were interred in Glendale's Whispering Pines section of Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery. Horton never publicly discussed his private life. In 1925, Horton purchased several acres in the district of Encino and lived on the property at 5521 Amestoy Avenue until his death. He named the estate, which contained Horton's own house and houses for his brother, his sister and their respective families, Belleigh Acres. In the 1950s, the state of California forced Horton to sell a portion of his property for construction of the Ventura Freeway. The freeway construction left a short stump of Amestoy Avenue south of Burbank Boulevard, and shortly after his death the city of Los Angeles renamed that portion Edward Everett Horton Lane, which begins in the shadow of the Ventura Freeway and ends at Burbank Boulevard. On the other side of the boulevard is a bus stop, also named for Edward Everett Horton, between bus stops at Aldea and Balboa. The borderline of Anthony C. Beilenson Park is directly across the street from the corner of Burbank Boulevard and EE Horton Lane. The opposite end of the lane leads to a foot bridge that overlooks the Ventura Freeway and ends up on the Amestoy Avenue side. British Radio DJ and Comedian Kenny Everett adopted the name of Everett in honor of Horton, who was a childhood hero of his. (Kenny's real name was Maurice Cole.) For his contribution to the motion picture industry, Horton has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6427 Hollywood Boulevard.
