Today's Fact
On June 29, 1967, a trial in England ended that sent two members of the Rolling Stones, a famous rock and roll group, to jail. During a drug bust at guitarist Keith Richard's home, no "Indian hemp" was actually found, and singer Mick Jagger had only four amphetamine pills, but they were both convicted and sentenced to prison, Jagger for three months and Richards a year. They spent only two days in prison before the convictions were thrown out.

Today's Fact
On June 22, 1969 Cleveland, Ohio's polluted river caught fire. The blaze spurred change after a reporter witnessed an oil slick burning near a steel mill on the Cuyahoga River. The resulting feature in Time magazine, despite using images from a previous fire on the river, turned out to be instrumental in furthering the growing environmental movement in the US.

Today's Fact
On June 15, 1215 (boy that was a long time ago!), King John conceded absolute power and put it in writing. His absolute monarchical power ended when the beleaguered king formally agreed to respect the feudal privileges of England's nobility. Belief that this Magna Carta strengthened individual liberty greatly influenced the American Constitution and the development of modern democracies.

Today's Fact
On June 8, 1949, everyone learned that Big Brother is watching you when '1984' by George Orwell was published. He introduced newspeak, thought-crimes, and Big Brother in his vision of a dystopian future. The book 1984 became a great literary work and an accurate warning of the "double plus ungood" rise of totalitarianism and surveillance.

Today's Fact
On May 25, 1977, director George Lucas' space opera opened in only 32 theaters in the U.S. because 20th Century Fox did not have much confidence in the movie. It premiered ahead of other presumed sure-fire summer hits because it was expected to flop. Star Wars went on to prove the naysayers wrong, becoming a blockbuster hit and an unstoppable cultural phenomenon that continues 40 years later.
