Valentine's Day

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
" Where there is love there is life." Mohandas Gandhi


TODAY IN HISTORY:

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
Al "Scarface" Capone

  • 1929 Saint Valentine's Day massacre: seven people, six of them gangster rivals of Al Capone's gang, are murdered in Chicago, Illinois.
  • 1962 First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy takes television viewers on a tour of the White House.
  • 2000 The spacecraft NEAR Shoemaker enters orbit around asteroid 433 Eros, the first aircraft to orbit an asteroid.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
Today we're full of love stories. First, Elisabete's boyfriend proposes her on this BBC report. Second, this couple of classmates get together after quite a long time on this CNN report. Then, Time has published this Valentine's Day special. Next, USA Today features this video about a wedding... guess where? After that, check out love around the world on this Reuters report. Following that, the NPR presents this article about the origin of Saint Valentine. Finally, have you heard about the Grinch? Well, this article describes the Anti-Valentine if you want to be a protester. Happy Valentine's everybody...!

I can not believe in Valentine's murder, but who does not believe there is always something invented by the Grinch. Master very good information now if you took out a ten.
