Forcing colonists from their own homes was not the intent of the law. On March 21, 1871, journalist Hen- ry Morton Stanley begins his famous search through Africa for missing British explorer Dr. David Livingstone. When Stanley found him on Oct. 27, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand: "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" On March 25, 1911, fl ames engulf the Triangle Shirtwaist Company factory in New York City, killing 145 workers. Only one elevator was operational in the 10- story building. There were two stairways down to the street, but one was locked from the outside. The inside fi re hose was rotted and its valve was rusted shut. On March 26, 1941, Italy attacks the British fl eet at Suda Bay, Crete, using manned torpedoes to sink a British cruis- er. Known as the "Chariot," the manned torpedo was ridden by "pilots" to "drive" them to their targets in the harbor. On March 23, 1962, Pakistan's gover- nor, Ayub Khan, gives fi rst lady Jacque- line Bouvier Kennedy a horse she nick- names "Black Jack." Jackie chose "Black Jack" to serve as the ceremonial riderless horse during Pres. Kennedy's funeral. On March 27, 1973, the actor Marlon Brando declines the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in "The Godfather" as a protest against Holly- wood's portrayal of Native Americans in fi lm. The fi rst performer to turn down a Best Actor Oscar was George C. Scott, who declined to accept his award for "Patton" in 1971. On March 22, 1983, the Pentagon awards a production contract worth more than $1 billion to AM General Corporation to develop 55,000 High Mobility Multi- purpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWV). Nicknamed the Humvee, the rugged ve- hicle was designed to transport troops and cargo. In 1992, a civilian version of the Humvee, known as the Hummer, went on sale. (c) 2011 King Features Synd., Inc. By Samantha Weaver It was 20th-century German-Ameri- can poet, novelist and short-story writer Charles Bukowski who made the follow- ing observation: "The difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that in a democracy you vote fi rst and take orders later; in a dictatorship you don't have to waste your time voting." In the 18 months that the Pony Express operated, carrying mail across the Wild West and its myriad hazards and dan- gers, only one pouch of mail was lost. It takes approximately 10 months for a Las Vegas slot machine to pay for itself. Benito Mussolini, Italian dictator and leader of that country's National Fascist Party, grew up poor with a blacksmith father who, history indicates, spent most of his meager earnings on his mistress. When Benito was 27 years old, he met a 16-year-old girl named Rachele Guidi -- who was the daughter of that same Strange but True mistress and her deceased husband. Rachele eventually became Mussolini's second wife. At one time, some churches banned the playing of Wagner's "The Bridal Chorus," also known as "Here Comes the Bride," because the music was considered to be sexy and vulgar. You might not be surprised to learn that editor, lexicographer and textbook pio- neer Noah Webster lobbied Congress to make his plan for simplifi ed spelling the law of the land. Had he been successful, the United States would have been the only country in which incorrect spelling would be legally punishable. Many people claim that Worcestershire sauce does an excellent job of cleaning copper and brass. In Chicago, if you have a hatpin hidden under a lapel, you are considered to be carrying a concealed weapon *** Thought for the Day: "Of all the prepos- terous assumptions of humanity over humanity, nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well-warmed, and well-fed." -- Herman Melville (c) 2011 King Features Synd., Inc.
