After floating for a time in the circles of name/password hell, I have emerged to remind everyone to visit the bbc's "this day" page: www.bbc.co.uk/onthisday. Over and out...kind of a slow news day globally and locally.
This would be a good website for anyone in HIS 469 who is doing a paper regarding an even that happened after 1950. I checked out my birth year, 1967, and of course, there are the token aritcles about Jagger/Richards getting arrested for drug possession. It wouldn't be news without some celeb stuff thrown in. It's weird to see the war b/t Israel and Jordan/Egypt b/c now, they are at peace...or at least as peaceful as the mid-East can be.
Too bad there aren't articles dating back to pre WWI.
actually the history channel does a good job of doing that going through the time of history on certain dates. it does go into the pop culture things as much but goes as far back as possible
