SOME ROCK AND ROLL RADIO HISTORY
WABC radio fired DJ Alan Freed on November 21, 1959 after
he refused to sign a FCC statement denying that he had
accepted money for promoting records, a practice known
as "payola."
While WABC cited its "contractual right to terminate," the
dismissal happened amid a larger payola scandal that
ultimately ruined his career.

THE FIRST TRIAL OF ITS KIND IN HISTORY
Twenty-four high-ranking Nazis went on trial in Nuremberg,
Germany, for atrocities committed during World War II
beginning on November 20, 1945.
The Nuremberg trials were conducted by an international
tribunal made up of representatives from the United States,
the Soviet Union, France and Great Britain.
It was the first trial of its kind in history, and the defendants
faced charges ranging from crimes against peace, to crimes
of war, to crimes against humanity.
Lord Justice Geoffrey Lawrence, the British member, presided
over the proceedings, which lasted 10 months and consisted
of 216 court sessions.
