FAMOUS EVENTS
Declaration of Independence adopted (1776).
John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, the second and third presidents of the United States, respectively, die on this day, the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. Both men had been central in the drafting of the historic document; Jefferson had authored it, and Adams, who was known as the "colossus of the debate," served on the drafting committee and had argued eloquently for the declaration's passage (1826).
Yankee Stadium farewell speech made by Lou Gehrig (1939).
After traveling 120 million miles in seven months, NASA's Mars Pathfinder becomes the first U.S. spacecraft to land on Mars in more than two decades. In an ingenious, cost-saving landing procedure, Pathfinder used parachutes to slow its approach to the Martian surface and then deployed airbags to cushion its impact. Colliding with the Ares Vallis floodplain at 40 miles an hour, the spacecraft bounced high into the Martian atmosphere 16 times before safely coming to rest (1997).
Actress Lauren Bacall marries actor Jason Robards. Bacall first gained stardom playing opposite Humphrey Bogart, whom she married in 1945. Four years after Bogart's death in 1957, Bacall married Robards, an actor highly esteemed for his serious stage roles in such productions as A Long Day's Journey into Night and The Iceman Cometh. The couple had one son, Sam Robards, and divorced in 1969 (1961).
engineers at Langley Field in Virginia called an airplane flying several miles away. The plane could only receive, not reply. The reverse was true in a phone call made several days earlier, when a pilot called the ground crew but could not hear their voices. The first two-way phone call from ground to air happened in August of that year (1970).
