"On Oct 19th: At 12:56 pm, Buckingham Palace announced that Queen Elizabeth had formally invited the 14th Earl of Home to succeed Harold Macmillan as the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He was the first member of the nobility since Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury (1895 to 1902), to serve as Prime Minister, and "the only man in modern times to do so without a seat in either house of Parliament", having resigned from the House of Lords to run as a candidate for a by-election to the House of Commons.
Three of Home's rivals within the Conservative Party, each of whom had aspired to the premiership, agreed to serve in his cabinet. Deputy Prime Minister R.A. "Rab" Butler, Chancellor of the Exchequer Reginald Maudling, and Viscount Hailsham joined Home in order to form a government in advance of the 1964 elections" [Wikipedia]

"Before a crowd of more than 100,000 at Wembley Stadium, a friendly soccer match was played to celebrate the centennial of the founding of the Football Association in England. With four minutes left in the game, England defeated a "Rest of the World" team, 2-1, on a goal by Jimmy Greaves of Tottenham Hotspur. The Rest players came from Russia, Brazil, West Germany, Czechoslovakia, France, Scotland, Portugal, Spain, and Yugoslavia." [Wikipedia]

"At a press conference in Hartford, Connecticut, U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater answered reporters' questions about a possible run for the U.S. presidency in 1964. Washington Post reporter Chalmers Roberts asked him for his reaction to a suggestion, by former President Eisenhower, that the six American divisions in Western Europe could be reduced to one. "American forces there could probably be cut by at least one-third", Goldwater was quoted as saying, "if NATO commanders had the power to use nuclear weapons on their own initiative in an emergency."
The next day, Roberts's report of the interview ran in the Post with the headline, "Goldwater Backs Army Cuts Abroad: Would Give NATO Commanders Power to Use A-Weapons". Goldwater later maintained that he had been misquoted, and that he had said that the commander of NATO should continue to have such authority; the statement came back to haunt him during his 1964 campaign."[Wikipedia]

"The "green light" telegram, which effectively cleared the way for the overthrow of South Vietnam President Ngo Dinh Diem, was received in Saigon by U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. The substance of the cable, approved by U.S. Under Secretary of State George W. Ball, was that it was "authorizing Ambassador Lodge to signal that we would not oppose a coup against Diem", according to Ball's Deputy, U. Alexis Johnson.
Johnson later recalled that he and Ball had been playing golf when "Averell Harriman and Roger Hilsman interrupted our game, and they gave him a telegram to sign". The cable was the followup to Cable 243, sent on August 24, that had instructed Lodge to pressure the Ngo brothers to resign." [Wikipedia]
