I am Christian, not Jewish; however, I find some very interesting items in the Jewish World Review, which my friend, Judi Cole, began sending me recently. The USA and Israel are tightly bound in this difficult world and that bond should not be broken. I like these ditties:
* 1939, Powell Crosley produces America's first miniature or "bantam"
car. The Crosley was a foot shorter and 100 pounds lighter than the
pre-war Volkswagen Bug, and far smaller than anything manufactured by
American companies.
At a $800 sticker price, Crosley was unable to convince consumers to
purchase a miniature car when they could buy a full-size car for a few
hundred dollars more. He was soon out of business
* 1945, Italian dictator Benito Mussolini and his mistress, Clara
Petacci, were executed by Italian partisans as they attempted to flee
the country
* 1952, war with Japan officially ended as a treaty that had been signed
by the United States and 47 other nations took effect. Also: Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower, one of the most highly regarded American generals of
World War II, steps down as supreme commander of the combined land and
air forces of NATO. He does this in order to run for president. In
November 1952, "Ike" wins a resounding victory in the presidential
elections, and in 1956, is reelected by a landslide
