IT WAS THE FINAL FLIGHT OF PAN AM 103
On December 21, 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 from London to
New York exploded in midair over Lockerbie, Scotland,
killing all 243 passengers and 16 crew members aboard,
as well as 11 Lockerbie residents on the ground.
A bomb hidden inside an audio cassette player detonated
in the cargo area when the plane was at an altitude of 31,000
feet.
The disaster, which became the subject of Britain’s largest
criminal investigation, was believed to be an attack against
the United States. One hundred eighty nine of the victims
were American.

POPULAR MAGAZINE FIRST PUBLISHED
On December 17, 1892, Arthur Baldwin Turnure first published
a new magazine, dedicated to “the ceremonial side of life”
and targeted at “the sage as well as the debutante, men of
affairs as well as the belle.”
As a product of the Gilded Age, Vogue has chronicled and
influenced high society, fashion and culture ever since.
Publisher Condé Nast purchased Vogue in 1905, changing it
to focus almost entirely on women and fashion and creating
the first of its international editions (there are now over 20).
The magazine has remained popular and relevant ever since,
regularly featuring the work of world-famous models, writers
and photographers.

COVERED BY THE AMERICAN WEEKLY IN 1947
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.
