On May 19, 1943, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (left)
and U.S.  U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt (right) set a date for
the cross-Channel landing that would become D-Day, May 1, 1944 
but, that date would prove a bit premature, as bad weather became
a factor.

Addressing a joint session of Congress, Churchill warned that the
real danger at present was the “dragging-out of the war at enormous expense” because of the risk that the Allies would become “tired or bored or split”—and play into the hands of Germany and Japan. He pushed for an early and massive attack on the “underbelly of the
Axis.” 

CRANSTON, R.I. (TND) — It’s official: after Ringling Bros. and
Barnum and Bailey Circus shut down in 2017, it will be returning.

Ringling’s website notes opening night is planned for September
2023.

The iconic traveling circus halted performances after more than
140 years in operation due to dwindling ticket sales and years
of controversy for its continued use of animal in performers. The
announcement was made Wednesday.

The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus show dates back
to the mid-1800s when Phineas Taylor Barnum joined forces with
the five Ringling brothers to create the modern circus. They ended
the show’s legendary run in New York on May 21, 2017.
