On February 7, 1964, Pan Am Yankee Clipper flight 101 from
London Heathrow lands at New York’s Kennedy Airport—
and “Beatlemania” arrives.

It was the first visit to the United States by the Beatles, a
British rock-and-roll quartet that had just scored its first No.
1 U.S. hit six days before with “I Want to Hold Your Hand.”
At Kennedy, the “Fab Four”—dressed in mod suits and
sporting their trademark pudding bowl haircuts—were
greeted by 3,000 screaming fans who caused a near riot
when the boys stepped off their plane and onto American
soil.

Ronald Wilson Reagan (February 6, 1911 – June 5, 2004)

As the 40th president of the United States, the former movie star
was called the “Great Communicator” for his ability to get through
to ordinary Americans and give them hope and optimism for their
own future and that of their country.

But before his years of Hollywood stardom, and long before
Washington, Ronald Reagan was born on February 6, 1911,
in Tampico, a small town in northwestern Illinois.
