On August 13, 1981, at his California home Rancho del Cielo (above),
Ronald Reagan signs the Economic Recovery Tax Act (ERTA), a
package of tax and budget reductions that set the tone for his
administration’s trickle-down economic policy.
During his campaign for the White House in 1980, Reagan argued
on behalf of “supply-side economics,” the theory of using tax
cuts as incentives for individuals and businesses to work and
produce goods (supply) rather than as an incentive for consumers
to buy goods (demand)..

Hogan’s Heroes is a television sitcom set in a Nazi German
prisoner-of-war (POW) camp during World War II. It ran for
168 episodes (six seasons) from September 17, 1965, to
April 4, 1971, on the CBS network, the longest broadcast
run for an American television series inspired by that war.
Bob Crane starred as Colonel Robert E. Hogan, coordinating
an international crew of Allied prisoners running a special
operations group from the camp. Werner Klemperer played
Colonel Wilhelm Klink, the gullible commandant of the camp,
and John Banner played the blundering but lovable sergeant-
of-the-guard, Hans Schultz.

On August 12, 1990, fossil hunter Susan Hendrickson discovered
three huge bones jutting out of a cliff near Faith, South Dakota.
They turn out to be part of the largest-ever Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton
ever discovered, a 65 million-year-old specimen dubbed Sue, after its
discoverer.
Amazingly, Sue’s skeleton was over 90 percent complete, and the
bones were extremely well-preserved. Hendrickson’s employer,
the Black Hills Institute of Geological Research, paid $5,000 to
the land owner, Maurice Williams, for the right to excavate the
dinosaur skeleton, which was cleaned and transported to the
company headquarters in Hill City. The institute’s president,
Peter Larson, announced plans to build a non-profit museum
to display Sue along with other fossils of the Cretaceous period.

On August 11, 1973, the nostalgic teenage coming-of-age movie American Graffiti, directed and co-written by George Lucas,
opened in theaters across the United States. Set in California
in the summer of 1962, American Graffiti was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Director and Best Picture, and
helped launch the big-screen careers of Richard Dreyfuss and
Harrison Ford, as well as the former child actor and future Oscar-
winning filmmaker Ron Howard. The film’s success enabled
Lucas to get his next movie made, the mega-hit Star Wars (1977).
