Extra, extra, read all about it.
In 1966 – The US Supreme Court, in a 5-4 vote, rules in Miranda v. Arizona that police must advise suspects of their rights to remain silent and to counsel while in custody. The case began in 1963 when Ernesto Miranda was arrested on suspicion of raping an 18-year-old girl and confessed without being advised of his right to an attorney. Miranda was later convicted of the same crime without his confession, was sentenced to 20-30 years, paroled in 1972, and murdered in a bar fight in 1976.
In 1890 – Ellen Roosevelt win the US National Tennis Championship – now known as the US Open – defeating two-time defending champion Bertha Townsend 6-2, 6-2. It remains the only major singles title for Roosevelt and she and her sister Grace won the doubles title, the first of three sisters to do so at the US Open. Roosevelt was a cousin of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the 32nd president of the United States.
In 1970 – The Beatles are at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the 20th and final time with The Long and Winding Road. The song spent two consecutive weeks at the top and also went to #1 in Canada, though it was not released as a single in Great Britain. The song was originally offered to Tom Jones, who had to decline it because he was contractually obligated to release another song first. The Beatles’ 20 #1 songs remain a Billboard Hot 100 record.
Some Philosophy Crap
The wisdom of the ages. Whatever.
The first thing you felt was that there was a man who spoke honestly about how he felt and was not trying to put something across…(he) made things understandable for the foggiest brain and went to the core of things.
