From here, balik ako sa taping ng ‘Paano’which will end in a couple of weeks from now.”It’s good she showed upthis time, unlike during the presscon for her concertwhere she was a no show. “Ireally got sick that time.

 Ed Bradley, the 60-Minutes
 journalist who was the rst
Black television correspondentto cover the White House, was born the exact day Nazi troopsinvaded the Soviet Union -- onJune 22, 1941! Meryl Streepand the Bionic Woman, LindsayWagner, were both born on theexact same day, each exactlyeight years after that date!!Jack Dempsey, the WorldHeavyweight champion from1919 to 1926, entered this worldJune 24, 1895. Mike Tyson bit
off Evander Holyeld’s ear on
June 28, 1997. And Joe Louiswrested the title from “Cin-derella Man”, James Braddock exactly four years before EdBradley’s birth. Louis actuallymanaged to hold onto that titlefor a dozen years.Thurgood Marshall resignedfrom the U.S. Supreme Courton June 27, 1991. He was the
rst Black to sit on the Court
and was replaced by the secondBlack to do so, Clarence Thomas(who, incidently, took his own
rst breath June 23, 1948). The
Korean War began June 25, 1950when North Korea invaded theSouth. And the Yugoslav civilwar erupted exactly 41 yearsafter that, when Slovenia andCroatia declared their indepen-dence from what is now Serbia.The Battle of Little Big Horn(where Custer made his laststand) also went down that day, but in 1876. The only survivor of Custer’s entire troop was aHORSE named “Comanche”.George Orwell, the author of the dystopic novels, “1984” and“Animal Farm”, entered thisworld that day in 1903, as didAnne Revere (the actress who re-fused to testify before the HouseUnamerican Activities Commit-tee, and was barred from appear-
The Battle of Little Big Horn
ing in lms for 20 years).
June Lockhart (1925), GeorgeMichael (1963) and Carly Simon(1945) share that birthdate too.
And CBS transmitted the rst
color broadcast over the air-waves that day in 1951. The onlycolor scenes before then had to be viewed physically in movietheaters, on the “silver screen”.Most people think “candy”when they think about going tothe movies, and the confection-ary industry celebrates NationalCANDY Month in June! Be-lieve it or not, candy can actu-ally be a good food -- and canconstitute part of a balanced diet.(That’s at least what I keep tell-ing myself, anyway.)Chocolate is the number onefavorite candy for the vastmajority of people. But did youknow chocolate is actually toxicand poisonous for dogs? The
tastiest avor of all for dogs is,
of all things, LIVER!! Fresh
liver -- not even let mignon --
is their absolute favorite thing toeat. And it’s good for them too!Since liver is absolutely guar-anteed to set your dog’s taste
 buds on re, try liver-avored
snacks -- if you really want totreat your best buddy to his fa-vorite biscuit! Liver snacks alsocontain essential amino acidsthat help keep your dog’s visionsharp, his eyesight keen and eyeshealthy. June is Vision ResearchMonth, by the way. You canget more information about it atwww.preventblindness..org.The patent issued for the type-writer on June 23, 1868 and the
human genome was rst com-
 pletely mapped June 26, 2000-- on the 30th anniversary of the introduction of the bar code.The human genome project
ALSO nished its mapping on
the 66th anniversary of FDR’s
signing of the rst Credit Union
Act. Ross Perot drew his own
rst breath on June 27, 1930, as
did Helen Keller exactly half acentury before Perot’s birth.
The rst American woman in
space, Sally Ride, touched downsafely on June 24, 1983. ClaraMaass was born June 28, 1876.
Maass is the selessly heroic
nurse who gave her life as a vol-untarily innoculated guinea pigfor the yellow fever experimentsof 1901. She died in Havana,Cuba August 24, 1901. And theMontserrat volcano blew its topin that neighboring Carribeanisland on June 25, 1997.The Treaty of Versailles wassigned on Clara Maass’ 43rd birthday, formally ending WorldWar I. The Monday Holiday lawwas approved on her 92nd -- for Washington’s birthday, Memo-rial Day, Labor Day, ColumbusDay and Veterans’ Day. The
Warsaw Pact ofcially disband-
ed on the 115th anniversary of her birth and the Berlin Airliftcommenced June 24, 1948 --lasting 321 days.The Flemish painter, Peter Rubens, also came into theworld June 28th, but in 1577.And it was that same day in1712 when philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau made hisworld debut. It was on Rous-seau’s 257th birthday that theStonewall riot broke out in a New York City gay bar, “giving birth” to the American gay rightsmovement.
Canada inaugurated its rst
woman prime minister on June25, 1993. The Supreme Court banned school prayer that dayin 1962 and the U.N. Charter was signed one day later, but 17years earlier. “Dark Shadows” premiered June 27, 1966 -- onthe 122nd anniversary of the as-sassination of Mormon founder,Joseph Smith. Smith was actu-ally running for U.S. presidentat the time, as the candidate of the short-lived National ReformParty. As a consequence, JosephSmith bears the dubious distinc-
tion of being the rst presidential
candidate to get shot.The IWW union (popularlyknown as “the Wobblies”) wasfounded on the 61st anniversaryof Joseph Smith’s assassination.Hard to believe, but the Wob- blies actually seized politicalcontrol of the city of Tijuana for a few days. The man who seizedPeru from the Incas for the Span-ish “Conquistadors”, FranciscoPizarro, died June 26, 1541. Newfoundland was discoveredon June 23, 1497 by the Englishexplorer, John Cabot. And JuneCarter Cash entered this worldon the 432nd anniversary of Cabot’s discovery. The “birth-day song” itself was composedJune 27, 1859. Mel Brooks(1928), Gilda Radner (1946)and John Cusak (1966) wereall born one day later -- on theday “Amos & Andy” debuted in1951.Mike Fleetwood (of “Fleet-
wood Mac”) drew his rst breath
June 24, 1942 (which is NationalColumnists’ Day this year). Butthe U.S. Department of Justicewas established by Congress onJune 22, 1870. Prior to then,what we now know as “the Jus-tice Department” had just beena part of the president’s cabinet.June 22nd is also the 1933 dateof birth for California’s senior U.S. senator, Dianne Feinstein.It was the same day thatmarked the world arrival of actor Kris Kristofferson (1936), MTVhost Carson Daly (1973), “Judg-ing Amy” actress Amy Bren-neman (1964) and director BillyWilder (1906). Paul Andersonentered this world June 26, 1970.Paul Anderson is the director 
of “Boogie Nights”, the lm
(starring Burt Reynolds) that de- picted California’s porn industryduring the era of the CaliforniaSupreme Court’s “Freeman De-cision”. That’s the Court rulingwhich legalized pornography inCalifornia.Prior to that, people couldget arrested for making pornoin California. Not any more.Believe it or not, pornographicmovie making may very wellin fact be the primary industryof Los Angeles’ San FernandoValley.When is YOUR birthday?Was a friend, work associate or relative born this week?
