FINALE OF A MAJOR SUNDAY TV STAPLE

The Ed Sullivan Show was a launchpad for legends (1948-1971) - Click  Americana

The First Color Episode - Ed Sullivan Show

Twenty-three years after its 1948 premiere, "The Ed Sullivan
Show" had its
final broadcast on June 6, 1971.

For more than two decades, Sullivan’s variety show was the
premiere television showcase for entertainers of all stripes,
including borscht-belt comedians, plate-spinning vaudeville
throwbacks and, most significantly, some of the biggest and
most current names in rock ‘n’ roll.

In its first eight years of existence, there was no such thing as
rock ‘n’ roll to be featured on the program originally called
"Toast of the Town," yet even its first broadcast made music
history when Broadway composers Richard Rodgers and
Oscar Hammerstein II gave the world its first taste of the score
from their upcoming musical, South Pacific.

SCROLLS MIGHT BE OLDER THAN THOUGHT

Split image of dead sea, scrolls

(FOX NEWS) – The Dead Sea Scrolls may be even older than
researchers thought, according to a new study driven by an
artificial intelligence (AI) model.

A group of researchers from the Netherlands, Italy and Denmark
recently published their findings in the journal PLOS One on
June 4.

The researchers said they developed an AI-based date-prediction
model named Enoch, a nod to
the biblical patriarch of the same
name.

The scrolls have attracted a great amount of interest from both
scholars and the public at large since their discovery.
