On this day in history, in 1959, Nikita Kruschev, former leader of the former Soviet Union, conducted his now famous visit to Los Angeles during an extended visit and summit with President Dwight Eisenhower. After a heated debate with the President of Twentieth Century Fox (death threats were said), Krushchev exploded in anger on learning he was banned from entering Disneyland. Kruschev is reported to have exclaimed in a burst of rage, “And I say, I would very much like to go and see Disneyland. But then, we cannot guarantee your security, they say. What is it? Is there an epidemic of cholera there or something? Or have gangsters taken hold of the place that can destroy me?” Kruschev left Los Angeles the following morning.

In today’s news, California Highway Patrol endured a wild goose chase, or maybe more aptly named, a wild emu chase this last Friday.

On this day in history, George Washington placed the first cornerstone of the U.S Capitol building in 1793. The legendary laying of the stone was documented extensively, however for hundreds of years the actual location of the stone was lost, until a recent investigation occurred and found the ceremonial stone in the foundation of the Capitol building. Despite this discovery, the engraving said to be on the stone has not been found.

In today’s news, solutions to the recent lanternfly infestation of Eastern United States are finally coming to fruition. Leading entomologists are suggesting that we fight fire with fire; importing another Chinese insect that is a known predator of lanternflies, a tiny wasp capable of destroying the rampant lanternfly population. Scientists are currently experimenting with the possibility of importation, but they note their efforts in quarantining the wasp in order to avoid another invasive species.

 

On this day in history, the signing of the U.S Constitution occurred! Regarded as the supreme law of the United States, this document came into force in 1789 and has been amended twenty seven times in American history. Seen as a revision to the failed Articles of Confederation during its time, the Constitution reaffirmed early American central power and laid the foundation for hundreds of years of United States law.
