On this day:
General de Gaulle leads French forces into Paris, 1944
Constitution Day in Paraguay
Independence Day in Uruguay
Leonard Bernstein is born in Lawrence, Massachusetts, 1918
Today's random fortune, quote, or snark:
So do the noble fall. For they are ever caught in a trap of their own making.
A trap -- walled by duty, and locked by reality. Against the greater force
they must fall -- for, against that force they fight because of duty, because
of obligations. And when the noble fall, the base remain. The base -- whose
only purpose is the corruption of what the noble did protect. Whose only
purpose is to destroy. The noble: who, even when fallen, retain a vestige of
strength. For theirs is a strength born of things other than mere force.
Theirs is a strength supreme... theirs is the strength -- to restore.
-- Gerry Conway, "Thor", #193
