Erasing the Past...Aynesworth's evidence of Garrison bribery How NH Defied the Feds, Mob and Church to Create the First State LotterySixty Years On | Mar. 12, 1964 (click here for video)
"John W. King, the Governor of New Hampshire, paid three dollars at the Rockingham Park racetrack in Salem, to buy the first state lottery ticket legally sold in the United States in the 20th century. Governor King purchased ticket number 0000001 for the New Hampshire Sweepstakes, two days after voters had approved lottery sales tickets at the state's two racetracks and 49 state operated liquor stores.
On the first day of sales, 3,600 people hoping to win $100,000 (on September 12) bought tickets. Starting on July 15, the random drawing of 332 tickets would take place to link a name to one of the 332 racehorses registered at the Park, followed by five more drawings before 11 of the horses would run at Rockingham. In all, six people, randomly associated with the winning horse, would each receive $100,000 before taxes." [Wikipedia]

Erasing the Past...168 passages from “The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence” Kitty Genovese - Case, Murder & BystanderSixty Years On | Mar. 13, 1964 (click here for video)
"A cautionary tale in "not wanting to get involved" happened when the murder of Kitty Genovese took place outside her apartment building in the upper-middle-class neighborhood of Kew Gardens in the New York borough of Queens. New York Police Department investigators were dumbfounded to discover that 38 different "respectable, law-abiding citizens" admitted that they had witnessed the crime, but that none of them had telephoned the police until more than half an hour later, after the killer had returned to the scene a third time to stab 28-year old Catherine Genovese to death.
Miss Genovese, the manager of a bar, was returning from work when she was attacked. Forty-two years later, a researcher would write in American Heritage magazine, "The true number of eyewitnesses was not 38 but 6 or 7," and added that "The Times article that incited all this industry about an urban horror was almost certainly a misleading account of what happened." A month later, Winston Moseley would confess to killing Ms. Genovese and two other women. Moseley would be given a sentence of death, later commuted to life imprisonment, and would live 52 more years after the murder, passing away inside the Clinton Correctional Facility in New York on March 28, 2016, at the age of 81."

Erasing the Past...The original Pedro Gutierrez Valencia HSCA-interview tape What Is the Mann Doctrine?Sixty Years On | Mar. 18, 1964 (click here for video)
"In a private speech to American diplomats, Thomas C. Mann, the U.S. Under-Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs, announced a reversal of American foreign policy in the Western Hemisphere. The U.S. Ambassadors to the nations in Latin America had been summoned to Washington for an observance of the third anniversary of President Kennedy's Alliance for Progress initiative, and Mann set aside the American policy of refusing to recognize or aid nations where dictatorships operated in place of democratic government.
Henceforward, American policy would be nonintervention in the internal affairs of Latin American republics, and an emphasis on promoting economic growth, opposing the spread of Communism, and protecting American investments. The New York Times would reveal the details of the secret meeting and dub the change in policy the "Mann Doctrine." [Wikipedia]

Erasing the Past...Name of CIA officer running covert operations with David Phillips in '63 Geraldine Mock: “The Flying Housewife”Sixty Years On | Mar. 19, 1964 (click here for video)
"Jerrie Mock, a 38-year-old housewife in Columbus, Ohio, departed from that city's airport on her quest to become the first woman to fly solo around the world, two days after Joan Merriam Smith had departed on the same venture. For the next 29 days, readers of newspapers worldwide would follow the progress of Mrs. Mock and Mrs. Smith to see who would complete the task first.
Mrs. Smith's two-day start was offset by engine trouble that delayed her in Dutch Guiana for a week. Ultimately, Jerrie Mock would complete the circumnavigation of the world first, landing her "Spirit of Columbus" on April 17 at 9:36 in the evening in Columbus, after a journey of 22,858.8 miles (36,787.7 km) and 21 stops. Mrs. Smith had gotten as far as Australia, landing at Darwin on April 17. Mrs. Smith, who had repeatedly encountered engine trouble, would become the second woman to fly solo around the world, landing back at Oakland on May 12." [Wikipedia]
