John Adams Jr. (October 30, 1735 – July 4, 1826)

 

On September 27, 1779, the Continental Congress appointed John
Adams
to travel to France as minister plenipotentiary in charge
of negotiating treaties of peace and commerce with Great Britain
during the
Revolutionary War.

Adams had traveled to Paris in 1778 to negotiate an alliance with
France, but had been unceremoniously dismissed when Congress
chose
Benjamin Franklin as sole commissioner. 

After returning to Massachusetts in mid-1779, Adams was elected
as a delegate to the state convention to draw up a new constitution;
he was involved in these duties when he learned of the diplomatic
commission.

NBC’s "Today" show premiered on this day in 1952.


NBC built a "Today" show studio inside the RCA Exhibition
Hall on West 49th Street and dubbed it "the nerve center of
the planet."

Dave Garroway, the host, knew, on the very first day, that he
was making history. In the first few minutes, he stood up to
take viewers on a tour of this strange-looking newsroom.

On this day in 1954, Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio were married
in a civil ceremony at San Francisco City Hall, where they were
mobbed by reporters and fans. Monroe had apparently mentioned
the wedding plans to someone at her film studio and they leaked it
to the press. The couple spent their wedding night at the Clifton
Motel in Paso Robles, California and later honeymooned in Japan
and Korea. The marriage only lasted nine short months.
