Today’s Thoughts

 Another nice spring day.

I went out and did some shopping. Getting better every day.

Awaiting the political show in Miami tomorrow and tonight’s win by the Nuggets. Hoping for both to go off without a hitch.

Enjoy

 

History revisited

Marilyn Monroe And Queen Elizabeth Were Born In The Same Year

While most people's image of Marilyn Monroe is when she was in her youth, and Elizabeth as an elderly queen, the actress and the monarch were both born in the same year--1926.

At the age of 30, both ladies actually met each other at the movie premiere of The Battle of the River Plate in London's Leicester Square. Monroe was accompanying her husband, Arthur Miller, and even had the opportunity to shake the Queen's hand.

Historic Events

• 1774 – Rhode Island became the first of Britain’s North American colonies to ban the importation of slaves.
• 1966 – The United States Supreme Court ruled in Miranda v. Arizona that the police must inform suspects of their rights before questioning them.
• 1967 – President Lyndon B. Johnson nominated Solicitor-General Thurgood Marshall to become the first black justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.
• 1971 – The New York Times began publishing The Pentagon Papers.
