with that woman, Miss Lewinsky." Denial of the affair lead to Clinton being only the second president to be impeached in US history.

On this day in 1936, the first issue of the pictorial magazine Life
was published, featuring a cover photo of the Fort Peck Dam’s
spillway by Margaret Bourke-White.
Life actually had its start earlier in the 20th century as a different
kind of magazine: a weekly humor publication, not unlike today’s
The New Yorker in its use of tart cartoons, humorous pieces and
cultural reporting. When the original Life folded during the Great
Depression, the influential American publisher Henry Luce
bought the name and re-launched the magazine as a picture-
based periodical on this day in 1936. By this time, Luce had
already enjoyed great success as the publisher of Time, a
weekly news magazine.
