The Saturday Evening Post was first published in 1821 in the
same printing shop at 53 Market Street in Philadelphia, where
the Benjamin Franklin-founded Pennsylvania Gazette was
published in the 18th century.
While the Gazette ceased publication in 1800, ten years after
Franklin’s death, the Post links its history to the original
magazine.

A National Geographic expedition to Mount Everest has found
remains believed to be of a 22-year-old renowned British climber
who vanished on a historic ascent in 1924.
The remains included a foot inside the mountaineer’s boot, his
name stitched into the sock.
The discovery was made by a small team including National
Geographic Explorer, photographer, and climber Jimmy Chin,
who directed the Oscar-winning documentary "Free Solo."
The sock, with Irvine’s name, was found along with a boot
and a foot, emerging from the ice of the Central Rongbuk
Glacier.

During the 1890s, publications were inserted into Joseph
Pulitzer‘s New York World and William Randolph Hearst‘s
New York Journal.
Hearst had the eight-page Women’s Home Journal and the
16-page Sunday American Magazine, which later became
The American Weekly.
In November 1896, Morrill Goddard, editor of the New
York Journal from 1896 to 1937, launched Hearst’s
Sunday magazine, later commenting, "Nothing is so
stale as yesterday’s newspaper, but The American
Weekly may be around the house for days or weeks
and lose none of its interest."
William Randolph Hearst Sr.
(April 29, 1863 – August 14, 1951)

Phillip John Donahue (December 21, 1935 – August 18, 2024)
WASHINGTON (TND) — The host and creator of the"The Phil
Donahue Show" died Sunday after a lengthy illness.
According to a family statement, the television pioneer died
at his home on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
On August 17, 1998, President Bill Clinton became the first
sitting president to testify before the Office of Independent
Counsel as the subject of a grand-jury investigation.
The testimony came after a four-year investigation into
Clinton and his wife Hillary’s alleged involvement in several
scandals, including accusations of sexual harassment,
potentially illegal real-estate deals and suspected “cronyism”
involved in the firing of White House travel-agency personnel.
The independent prosecutor, Kenneth Starr, then uncovered
an affair between Clinton and a White House intern named
Monica Lewinsky.
When questioned about the affair, Clinton denied it, which
led Starr to charge the president with perjury and obstruction
of justice, which in turn prompted his testimony on August 17.
