Hooray for Elena Cornaro Piscopia. Her achievement is all the more important since even today in parts of the world girls are kept from school.

Battle of Little Bighorn .Wonder if American Indians now called Native Americans gather in secret every year to celebrate this victory ?

Antoni Gaudi .Interesting .Do want to get to Barcelona some day .

Louis Mountbatten .Reading up on him earlier tonite left me with my mouth open .His wife too

.........

George Orwell .His 1948 is a 20th century classic and still taught in US schools .

Michael Jackson .Talented but ruined by his father & show business . A black friend called him Whacko Jacko .

George Michael .Tragic

Patrick Mac Nee .THE AVENGERS was on tv when I was in high school and got into it .He was likable performer and on the show did a good job with his strong women type partners .

The history is overwhelming me !

Night of The Long Knives. Nazi's killing Nazi's , ironic and am sure at the time that had many people laffing .

Michael Phelps. On US tv lots back in his Olympic days . He was on talking abut everything from how bad drugs are, sports, marriage, Britney Spears, Viagra , swim suits , selling cars etc The world loves star athletes .

Yitzhak Shamir .Depressing reading about him .Another Nazi this time in israel . He helped murder the UN peace mediator Count Bernadotte .Saw too how as prime minister he helped the start of Hamas , here as a political rival to the Palestinian National Council . With October 7th you can see how that sure backfired !

Simone Veil. Amazing woman t2041

I wonder how she wud feel about today's elections in France
