1949 - To force collectivisation by way of terror 92,000 people from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are deported to remote areas of the Soviet Union. (Sean Penn's kind of people)
1957 - The European Economic Community is established (West Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg).
1965 - Civil rights activists led by Martin Luther King, Jr. successfully complete their 4-day 50-mile march from Selma to the capitol in Montgomery, Alabama.
1975 - Faisal of Saudi Arabia is shot and killed by a mentally ill nephew. (Inbreeding)

#2 Ralston Purina Man Chow



Louis Mayer sure has a nice couch.

Just what did you wish for on your birthday?

She had a great personality and she sewed her own clothes.

Is that an earring or a chandelier?
