I was born June 13, 1971.
On this day in history:
June 13, 1971 - The New York Times began publishing the Pentagon Papers, a collection of top secret documents exposing U.S. strategy in the Vietnam war.
June 13, 1966 - The U.S. Supreme Court ruled (5-4) in the case of Miranda v. Arizona that an accused person must be apprised of certain rights before questioning including the right to remain silent, the right to know that anything said can be used against the individual in court, and the right to have a defense attorney present during interrogation. American police officers now routinely read prisoners their 'Miranda' (constitutional) rights before questioning.
Birthday - Nobel Prize-winning Irish poet and dramatist William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was born in Dublin, Ireland. Among his plays; The Countess Cathleen (1892) and Cathleen ni Houlihan (1902).
Birthday - American Army General Winfield Scott (1786-1866) was born in Petersburg, Virginia. Nicknamed "Old Fuss and Feathers" because of his formality, he served in three wars - the War of 1812, the Mexican War, and the U.S. Civil War. He was also nominated for the presidency by the Whig party in 1852 but was defeated by Franklin Pierce.

Do we really want to remember
When did your hair start to go grey,when did your libido get slack,no smoke in the stack. Are we out there looking for the red corvette and the BIG BLONDE ???
Too grow older is wisdom that is gained from youth. But if we don't listen to the new not to forget the past we would not have the wheel.
