Today in History 11/08 (JFK)

John Kennedy waves to a crowd while on the campaign trail in San Antonio, Texas, in September 1960 (© AP)(1960) John F. Kennedy elected president
Democratic Senator John F. Kennedy beats Republican Vice President Richard Nixon by a slim margin to become the youngest president ever elected (though not the youngest president ever) as well as the first Catholic to hold the office. Many attribute Kennedy’s win to his smooth demeanor in televised debates.
The United States presidential election of 1960 was the 44th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 8, 1960. In a closely contested election, Democrat John F. Kennedy defeated incumbent Vice President Richard Nixon, the Republican Party nominee. This was the first election in which all fifty states participated, and the last in which the District of Columbia did not. It was also the first election in which an incumbent president was ineligible to run for a third term due to the term limits established by the 22nd Amendment.
Election year: Nov 08, 1960

Destruction in the hall of the 'Buergerbraeukeller' in Munich, Germany, site of an attempted assassination of Adolf Hitler in November 1939 (© Gestapo/AP)(1939) Adolf Hitler narrowly makes it out alive
On the 16th anniversary of his failed coup attempt known as the Beer Hall Putsch, the Nazi leader is scheduled to speak when a bomb detonates in the hall. But Hitler, and others in the Nazi leadership, had left several minutes before the explosion.
Johann Georg Elser was a German worker who planned and carried out an elaborate assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler and other high-ranking Nazi leaders on 8 November 1939 at the Bürgerbräukeller in Munich. A time bomb that Elser constructed and placed near the speaking platform failed to kill Hitler, who left earlier than expected, but killed eight people and injured over sixty-two others. Elser was held as a prisoner for over five years until he was executed at the Dachau concentration camp.

Facebook i have made a personal choice after their "name policy" witch hunt which repeats every 2 years it seems at the whim of the "bully mob" (even when they make you jump through hoops and verify you), to just quit it and be done with it, they are not worth my time. I don't need it, I don't miss it, in fact it has made my life more productive and void of gross hate, vitriol and drivel. To those who say they can't stay in touch if I am not on there, if you can't reach me because I am not on Facebook, then you are not trying AT ALL - therefore, good riddance.
