Today's Top Event in History
1835 -- President Andrew Jackson was attacked in the first attempt on the life of a U.S. President. President Andrew Jackson attended a congressional funeral in the Capitol building. As he exited, Richard Lawrence, an unemployed house painter, pointed a pistol at Jackson and fired. The percussion cap exploded, but the bullet did not discharge. The enraged Jackson raised his cane to throttle his attacker, who fired again. The second weapon also misfired and the sixty-seven-year-old president escaped unharmed, but angry as hell, and chased the would be killer with his cane until others captured him.
The deranged Lawrence believed Jackson had conspired to keep him poor and out of work. Jackson was convinced that Lawrence was hired by his political enemies, the Whigs, to stop his plan to destroy the Bank of the United States. Lawrence spent the rest of his life in jails and asylums. Here is a bit of trivia for fans, in the trial that followed at the first attempted assassination of a US president, the prosecuting attorney was Francis Scott Key.
(Some interested other trivia, Jackson was the only president to pay off the National Debt. He is also the only president to have been a prisoner of war, and is the only president to have fought in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.

In 1946, he was acquitted, deemed unfit for trial, and declared insane. He was committed to St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington, D.C. After many letters and appeals from friends and writers, including Robert Frost , Ezra won his release from the hospital in 1958. He soon returned to Venice, where he died, a recluse, in 1972. Despite his politics and "craziness," he is considered one of American's most brilliant and well-read poets.

When King appears on his devastated front porch, he tells them: "If you have weapons, take them home. . . . We cannot solve this problem through retaliatory violence . . . We must love our white brothers, no matter what they do to us." King's speech lifts the nonviolent protest movement to new levels of effectiveness.

1968- the TET offensive began: Vietnamese general staff headquarters. Costing as many as 40,000 battlefield deaths, the offensive was a tactical defeat for the Viet Cong and North Vietnam. The South Vietnamese held their ground and the US was able to airlift troops into the critical areas and quickly regain control.

After Tet, American policy toward Vietnam shifted from winning the war to seeking an honorable way out.

Filmed for the movie that eventually became Let It Be, the set performed was as follows: "Get Back" (take 1), "Get Back" (take 2), "Don't Let Me Down," "I've Got A Feeling" (take 1), "One After 909," "Dig A Pony," "I've Got A Feeling" (take 2), "Don't Let Me Down" (take 2), "Get Back" (take 3).

The concert, which lasts 42 minutes, comes to an abrupt end when police, tipped off by the complaints of a nearby shop owner, shut the concert down.

I could hire out to the other side, the big money side, and get several dollars every week just to quit singing my own kind of songs ... But I decided a long time ago that I'd starve to death before I'd sing any such songs as that. "---Woody Guthrie

American Football Poem
The Coach
by Poet deVine
The crowd is gone, the cheers have stopped,
and the equipment is stored away.
The team is standing on the field
because the coach is leaving today.
He led them through the hardest times,
and was proud the times they won.
But now the season's over and
his time as coach is done.
The team will go on without him,
will perform at the usual pace.
But though another coach comes in,
there'll be a void in this place.
Today when the field is emptied
and the team has met the test,
The coach can feel certain that
he will be remembered as simply the best.
