On March 2, 1966, in Dearborn, Michigan, the Ford Motor
Company celebrated the production of its one millionth
Mustang, a white convertible.

The sporty, affordable vehicle was officially launched
two years earlier, on April 17, 1964, at the World’s Fair
in Flushing Meadows New York. ,

That same day, the new car debuted in Ford showrooms
across America; almost immediately, buyers snapped up
nearly 22,000 of them.

Gen. Douglas MacArthur delivered his farewell address to
Congress on this day in history, April 19, 1951, uttering
the famous line, "Old soldiers never die; they just fade
away."

Eight days before the speech, MacArthur had been relieved
of his duties as general of the U.S. Army by President Harry
S. Truman — putting an end to his 52 year storied military
career.

Nostradamus (Michel de Nostredame)
(December 14, 1503 – July 2, 1566)

French poet, apothecary, and self-proclaimed prophet Nostradamus
began publishing his predictions in 1555. His quatrains, whether truly
prophetic or misinterpreted to be so, have attained a cult following
through the centuries. Although mainstream media has claimed that
he has predicted major historical events, historians argue that his
apparent accuracy is due to poor translation and  misinterpretation.
