On the day I was born...
I signed us up for a NY Times subscription this morning (finally!). After I completed the subscription process, the website pointed me to its archive search, which is amazing. Its a free service that lets you search any NYT aritcle from as far back as 1851. Anyway, lets see what was happening on our birthdays...
Steph: President Nixon reassures the South that he is "firm and reasonable" in school desegregation
David: 76 American soldiers die in enemy ambush in Vietnam
Kath: Thousands wait in mile-long lines for up to 2 hours in bitter cold to say goodbye to Winston Churchill
Marty: Charles Lindbergh and family set sail for England to seek safe residence
Euge: Speech by Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, Demecratic nominee for President, "evokes wild enthusiasm," proclaims day of the "Titans" over

Also on day I was born, a little more than a month before the election, NYT published survey predicting Hoover would beat Roosevelt. Really bad sampling in those days.
