FAMOUS EVENTS
First Cabinet meeting held (1793).
Hiram Revels elected first African-American U.S. Senator (1870).
Resignation of Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos (1986).
22-year-old Cassius Clay shocks the odds-makers by dethroning world heavyweight boxing champ Sonny Liston in a seventh-round technical knockout. The dreaded Liston, who had twice demolished former champ Floyd Patterson in one round, was an 8-to-1 favorite. However, Clay predicted victory, boasting that he would "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" and knock out Liston in the eighth round. The fleet-footed and loquacious youngster needed less time to make good on his claim--Liston, complaining of an injured shoulder, failed to answer the seventh-round bell. A few moments later, a new heavyweight champion was proclaimed (1964).
The Federal Radio Commission issues the first television license. The license went to the Charles Francis Jenkins Laboratories for a television broadcast station on Connecticut Avenue in Washington, D.C. The station later moved to Maryland and operated until 1932 (1928).
Comedy program Your Show of Shows, hosted by Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca, first airs. Although the show lasted only four seasons, it became a classic of television's golden era, featuring comedy by future stars Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, Neil Simon, Woody Allen, and others. The series was one of television's Top 20 hits for three of its four years (1950).
Movie studios, including Biograph, Vitagraph, the Edison Studio, Pathe, and others, begin submitting films to the Board of Censorship for review. The New York-based board, made up of private citizens who screened movies and pointed out objectionable material, was set up by movie studios as a self-policing body to help avoid government censorship. The board changed its name to the National Board of Review by 1916 (1909).
Two bills that would allow the export of stronger encryption software and establish rules for allowing the government "keys" to encoded messages were introduced. The bills were part of a long-running dispute between the industry and the government. The computer industry was distressed by federal restrictions allowing them to export only weak encryption programs. In addition, technology companies resisted the government's proposal that all encryption "keys" be stored with a government agency, so that investigators who obtained warrants would be able to examine messages (1996).
