The Dodge Victory Hour, one of radio’s first variety shows, debuted on
NBC in January 1928. The show starred Will Rogers, Paul Whiteman
and his orchestra, Fred Stone and Al Jolson in a 47-station coast-to-
coast program with Jolson in New Orleans, Stone in Chicago and
Whiteman in New York. From his home in Beverly Hills, Will Rogers
did a Coolidge imitation, the first time a President was imitated on radio.

Sponsored by Dodge‘s new Victory Six automobile, the program reached
an audience estimated at 35 million, the largest since Charles Lindbergh‘s
return in 1927.

The goals of “The Great Society” were outlined by President Lyndon B.
Johnson in his State Of The Union Address.

Note: President Truman gave the first televised State of the Union in 1947.

The Beatles made their first appearance on television in a film clip shown
on the "Jack Paar Show”, January 3, 1964. It was a performance of the
song "She Loves You." Paar showed the film clips of The Beatles one  
month before their famous live appearance on the The Ed Sullivan Show.

The 2¢ Landing of Columbus is the most common stamp of the Columbian
Issue.

Often cited as the world’s first commemoratives are the sixteen stamps of the
United States Columbian Issue, produced to help celebrate the World Columbian
Exposition in Chicago honoring the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s
arrival in the New World in 1492. The stamps are today highly prized by collectors.

The $1 stamp is included in the US issue of commemoratives introduced
in 1893.
