THIS DAY IN HISTORY

1916 – ‘Mein Bad’ — Germany admits full liability for the Lusitania incident, indemnifying the United States

1935 – The board game “Monopoly” went on sale for the first time. (Rumor: A young Bernie Sanders received one of the first ones sold on Long Island…he often played against a younger neighbor named Donnie who built hotels on all the marquis properties… beating Bernie every single time they played. Bernie vowed to correct this injustice if he had to work his entire life to do so.)

1952 – Princess Elizabeth become Queen Elizabeth II (she’s still the queen…much to the dismay of Charles)

1971 – Astronaut Alan Shephard played golf on the moon (he actually hit two golf balls)

1993 – Tennis legend Arthur Ashe passed away from the AIDS virus (he contracted the virus from a blood transfusion)
