For the bandwidth impaired, excerpts:

July 20

1801 -- A 1,235 pound cheese ball... [& you know who you are]

1920 -- Italy: Arrest papers issued in Milan for Armando Borghi

1925 -- Algerian psychiatrist & revolutionist Frantz Fanon lives.

1929 --  Moorish Orthodox leader Noble Drew Ali dies

This bud opens into the red rose,
         the nightingale is drunk for joy---
            Hail, seekers! Lovers of wine;
                wine for a thirsty world
                    like a slug under
               the rock of repentance...

1933 -- Novelist Cormac McCarthy lives

1936 -- The  anarchist Francisco Ascaso is killed

      For two there are floral
     displays, but Ascaso faces
     eternity with only a stone.
     Maybe as it should be. He was
     a stone, a stone & a blade,
     the first grinding & sharpening
     the other.

    ---Philip Levine, "Francisco, I'll Bring You Red Carnations,"
        7 Years from  Somewhere

1948 -- US indicts 12 Communist Party leaders, charging them with
advocating
overthrow of government.

1968 -- Beloved & Respected Comrade Leader LBJ assures South
Vietnamese President Thieu the US will pursue Vietnam War at  present
pace.

NAPALM.

                    "Some of the finer selling points were explained to
me
                    by a pilot in 1966: 'We sure are pleased with those
                    backroom boys at Dow. The original product wasn't so
hot
                    -- if the gooks were quick they could scrape it off.
So the
                    boys started adding polystyrene -- now it sticks
like shit to
                    a blanket. But then if the gooks jumped under water
it
                    stopped burning, so they started adding Willie Peter
[WP --
                    white phosperous] so's to make it burn better. It'll
even
                    burn under water now. & just one drop is enough,
it'll keep
                    burning right down to the bone so they die anyway
from
                    phosperous poisoning.'"

                    --- Philip Jones Griffiths, photographer, Vietnam
Inc.

1971 -- Gone postal....

                "I mock thee not, though I by thee am mockéd.
                Thou call'st me madman, but I call thee blockhead"
                ---William Blake

1979 -- Native American political prisoner Leonard Peltier escapes
Lompoc
federal penitentiary,  California.

1996 -- British anarchist Albert Meltzer's ashes scattered

"Every time you build a prison, you close a  school."

                                       --- Victor Hugo
