"At 4:00 a.m. at Dartmouth College, mathematics professors John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz ran the
first program written in BASIC (Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code), an easy to learn computer
programming language that they had created. The original version had 14 statements (DATA, DEF, DIM, END, FOR,
GOSUB, IF, LET, NEXT, PRINT, READ, REM, and RETURN) and nine built in DEF functions (Sin, Cos, Tan, Atn, Exp, Log,
Sqr, Rnd, and Int). Kemeny would write later that "We at Dartmouth envisaged the possibility of millions of
people writing their own computer programs." [Wikipedia]

"In the case of Dering v Uris, Dr. Wladislaw Dering won a Pyrrhic victory in a court of the Queen's Bench division against
novelist Leon Uris and his publisher, Kimber and Company, in a suit for libel arising from Uris's bestselling novel Exodus.
Judge Frederick Lawton agreed that Dr. Dering, a physician at the Auschwitz extermination camp, had been defamed by an
untrue statement that he had failed to use anesthesia in some of his experimental operations on Jewish inmates,
but awarded the doctor damages of a single halfpenny— and ordered Dr. Dering to pay more than £25,000 (about $75,000 at the time)
as the plaintiff's one-half of the court costs. Dr. Dering would pass away later in the year before the costs could
be paid. In 1970, Uris would publish another bestseller, QB VII, loosely based on the Dering trial." [Wikipedia]

Erasing the Past...Passenger list for Continental Trailways bus No. 5133 (original & copy) The Crash of Pacific Air Lines Flight #773 Sixty Years On | May 07, 1964 (click here for video - NO SOUND)
"Pacific Air Lines Flight 773 crashed near Concord, California, killing all 44 people on board.
The Fairchild F-27 had started from Reno, Nevada, made a stop at Stockton, California and was 40 miles (64 km)
short of its San Francisco destination when it went down. Among the first clues of what had happened was the
discovery of a cocked .357 caliber revolver, found in the wreckage, with six spent cartridges.
The next day, the FBI confirmed that the cockpit recorder had picked up pilot Ernest Clark shouting,
"My God, I've been shot!" before the plane went down. The revolver's serial number was traced to
passenger Francisco "Frank" Gonzales, who had represented the Philippines in sailing at the 1960 Summer
Olympic games, and who had taken out a $100,000 life insurance policy before boarding at Reno." [Wikipedia]
