This Month in History:
July 16, 1973 US Senate learns about Nixon tapes
Former White House aide Alexander P. Butterfield tells the Senate select Watergate committee that President Nixon has been routinely taping all his conversations and meetings in the Oval Office and cabinet room of the White House, in his Executive Office Building office and on four of his personal telephones
July 19 , 1848 First Woman's Rights Convention begins
At the Wesleyan chapel in Seneca Falls, New York, the Woman's Rights Convention — the first of its kind ever held in the United States — commenced with almost two hundred women in attendance. The convention was organized by Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, two Quakers who met at the 1840 World Antislavery Convention held in London.
July 21 , 1955 Eisenhower presents his "Open Skies" plan
US President Dwight D. Eisenhower presents his "Open Skies" plan at the 1955 Geneva summit meeting with representatives of France, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union. The plan, though never accepted, laid the foundation for President Ronald Reagan's later policy of "trust, but verify" in relation to arms agreements with the Soviet Union.
Editor's Notes:
Americans in the Philippines, New York punk rock legends Sea Monster, and Rob Whaley's Paranoia American Style; these are some of the subjects our world is boiling down to. Take a break from the long, winding summer days and check up on a multitude of cultural debates with our “fair and balanced” enlightened gang at Modern Republic. And don’t worry, the fall will be here soon enough.
