1925 - The first issue of The New Yorker was published.
1947 - Edwin Land demonstrated the Polaroid Land Camera to the Optical Society of America in New York City. It was the first camera to take, develop and print a picture on photo paper all in 60 seconds. The photos were black and white.
1965 - Malcolm X was assassinated in New York at the age of 39 by assassins identified as Black Muslims.
2000 - David Letterman returned to his Late Night show about five weeks after having an emergency quintuple heart bypass operation.
Have a great Friday!

....I learned something neat. If you look at the Washington memorial you can actually see the difference in color of the stones. You can see it changing about 1/4 of the way up from the ground. It is from when construction had to be stopped during the Civil war and then started up again a few years later. They were unable to match the color of the stone when the project resumed.
