1968 Robert F. Kennedy
At 00:50 PST (08:50 UT) early the previous
day, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, a presidential candidate, had just
completed a speech celebrating his victory in the California Primary,
and was making his way out of the ballroom of the Ambassador Hotel
in Los Angeles, when he was shot three times in a hail of gunfire.
Five others were wounded. The shooter, Palestinian Sirhan Sirhan [19
Mar 1944~], had a smoking .22 revolver wrested from his grip and was
promptly arrested. Kennedy, critically wounded, was rushed to the
hospital where he fought for his life for the next thirty-two hours.
On the morning of 06 June, he died, and two days later was buried
at Arlington National Cemetery, the final resting place of his assassinated
older brother, President John F. Kennedy [29 May 1917 – 22 Nov
1963].
Robert Kennedy, born on
20 November 1925, a legal counsel for various Senate subcommittees
during the 1950s, served as the manager of his brother’s successful
presidential campaign in 1960. Appointed attorney general by President
Kennedy, he proved a vigorous member of the cabinet, zealously prosecuting
cases relating to civil rights while closely advising the president
on various domestic and foreign issues.
After Kennedy’s assassination in 1963, he joined the administration
of President Lyndon B. Johnson [27 Aug 1908 – 22 Jan 1973],
but resigned in 1964 to run successfully in New York for a Senate
seat. Known in Congress as an advocate of social reform and defender
of the rights of minorities, he also voiced criticism of the war in
Vietnam. In 1968, he was urged by many of his supporters to run for
president as an anti-war and socially progressive Democratic. Hesitant
until he saw positive primary returns for fellow anti-war candidate
Eugene McCarthy [29 Mar 1916~], he announced his candidacy for the
Democratic presidential nomination on 16 March 1968.
Fifteen days later, President Johnson announced that he would not
seek reelection, and Vice President Hubert Humphrey [27 May 1911 –
13 Jan 1978] became the key Democratic hopeful, with McCarthy and
Kennedy trailing closely behind. However, Kennedy conducted an energetic
campaign, and on 04 June 1968, he won a major victory in the California
primary. In the early hours of the next morning, he gave a victory
speech to his supporters in the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, and
then, while making his way to a press conference by a side exit, he
was fatally wounded by Palestinian Sirhan Sirhan. Sirhan was arrested
at the scene, indicted for first degree murder, convicted, and, on
23 April 1969, sentenced to die. However, his death sentence was commuted
to life imprisonment in 1972 when the California Supreme Court abolished
the death penalty.
Although Sirhan’s
motives were not entirely clear, the 05 June attack did come on the
first anniversary of the Israeli invasion of his homeland in the Six-Day
War, and he may have been retaliating against the US’s historic support
of Israel. Others have alleged that Sirhan was part of a larger assassination
conspiracy, reportedly brought on by Kennedy’s promise to end the
Vietnam War if elected president. These conspiracists cite forensic
evidence and witness testimony that they say proves the existence
of additional shooters who were not detained.

The fallen soldiers of D-Day:
^top^
Supreme Allied Commander General Dwight D. Eisenhower gives the go-ahead
for largest amphibious military operation in history: Operation Overlord,
code named D-Day, the Allied invasion of northern France. By daybreak,
18'000 British and American parachutists are already on the ground.
At 06:30, American troops came ashore at Utah and Omaha beaches. At
Omaha, the US First Division battles high seas, mist, mines, burning
vehicles — and German coastal batteries, including an elite infantry
division, which spew heavy fire. Many wounded Americans ultimately
drown in the high tide.
British
divisions, which land at Gold, Juno, and Sword beaches, and Canadian
troops also meet with heavy German fire, but by the end of the day
they are able to push inland. Despite the German resistance, Allied
casualties overall are relatively light. The United States and Britain
each lose about 1000 men, and Canada 355. Before the day is over,
155'000 Allied troops are in Normandy.
However, the United States manages to get on shore only half of the
14'000 vehicles and a quarter of the 14'500 tons of supplies they
intended.
Three factors are decisive
in the success of the Allied invasion.
First, German counterattacks, though firm, are sparse, enabling the
Allies to create a broad bridgehead, or advanced position, from which
they are able to build up enormous troop strength.
Second, Allied air cover, which destroyed bridges over the Seine,
forces the Germans to suffer long detours, and naval gunfire proves
decisive in protecting the invasion troops.
And third, division and confusion within the German ranks as to where
the invasion would start and how best to defend their position helps
the Allies. (Hitler, convinced another invasion is coming the next
day east of the Seine River, refuses to allow reserves to be pulled
from that area.)
Field Marshal
Bernard Montgomery, commander of Britain's Twenty-first Army Group
(but under the overall command of General Eisenhower, for whom Montgomery,
and his ego, proved a perennial thorn in the side), often claimed
later that the invasion had come off exactly as planned. That was
a boast, as evidenced by the failure to take Caen on the first day,
as scheduled.
While the operation
is a decided success, considering the number of troops put ashore
and light casualties, improvisation by courageous and quick-witted
commanders also play an enormous role.
The D-Day invasion has been the basis for several movies, from The
Longest Day (1962), which boasted an all-star cast that included
Richard Burton, Sean Connery, John Wayne, Robert Mitchum-and Fabian,
to Saving Private Ryan (1998), which includes some of the
most grippingly realistic war scenes ever filmed, captured in the
style of the famous Robert Capa still photos of the actual invasion.
: le 6 juin 1944 fut certainement celui qui libéra le monde de l’emprise
de Hitler. Les Alliés avaient décidé cette opération pour entrer dans
la France occupée par les Allemands et en chasser les nazis, ce qui
leur ouvrirait les portes de la contre-offensive. Opération délicate,
conduite par les Américains avec, à leur tête, le mythique général
Eisenhower. Le 6 juin à l’aube, 850'000 soldats alliés, dont 90'000
Américains débarqueront sur les plages de Normandie avec d’imposants
moyens militaires. Les troupes étaient transportées par 1200 bâtiments
de guerre. Le Mur de l’Atlantique, édifié par Hitler, est pris d’assaut.
La riposte allemande tua des milliers de soldats alliés dans la matinée
même. Mais les Alliés réussirent à mettre les pieds sur le sol français.
Et livrer bataille aux nazis jusqu’à leur abdication. |

Patrick
Henry, in Charlotte County, Virginia. ^top^
US independence Patriot, born
on 29 May (17 May Julian) 1736, who on 23 March 1775, before the second
Virginia Convention, would voice American opposition to the increasingly
oppressive British rule over the American colonies with his “...give
me liberty, or give me death!” speech. [There seems
to be more people who say: "Give me liberty or give me wealth!".
What I would say is: "Give me liberty or give me freedom!"].
He dies on the 44th birthday of Nathan Hale (another Patriot, whom
the British hung when he was 21)
Already,
on 29 May 1765, his twenty-ninth birthday, nine days a member of the
Virginia
House of Burgesses, Patrick Henry had presented a series of resolutions
opposing the British Stamp Act. He concluded his introduction of the
Virginia Resolutions with the fiery words “Caesar had his Brutus,
Charles the First his Cromwell, and George the Third — ”
when, it is reported, voices cried out, "Treason! treason!" He continued,
" — and George the Third may profit by their example! If this
be treason make the most of it."
Following the signing of the US Declaration of Independence on 04
July 1776, Patrick Henry was appointed governor of Virginia by the
Continental Congress. The first major American opposition to British
policy came in 1765 after Parliament passed the Stamp Act, a taxation
measure to raise revenues for a standing British army in America.
Under the banner of "no taxation without representation," colonists
convened the Stamp Act Congress in October 1765 to vocalize their
opposition to the tax. With its enactment on 01 November 1765, most
colonists called for a boycott of British goods and some organized
attacks on the customhouses and homes of tax collectors. After months
of protest, Parliament voted to repeal the Stamp Act in March 1765,
and most colonists quietly accepted British rule until Parliament’s
enactment of the Tea Act in 1773, which granted the East India Company
a monopoly on the American tea trade. Viewing this as another example
of taxation without representation, militant Patriots in Massachusetts
organized the "Boston Tea Party," which saw British tea valued at
some ten thousand pounds dumped into Boston harbor.
Parliament, outraged by the Boston Tea Party and other blatant destruction
of British property, enacted the Coercive Acts, also known as the
Intolerable Acts, in the following year. The colonists subsequently
called the first Continental Congress to consider a united American
resistance against the British. With the other colonies watching intently,
Massachusetts led the resistance to the British, forming a shadow
revolutionary government and establishing militias to resist the increasing
British military presence across the colony. In April 1775, Thomas
Gage, the British governor of Massachusetts, ordered British troops
to march to Concord, Massachusetts, where a Patriot arsenal was known
to exist. On 19 April 1775, the British regulars encountered a group
of American militiamen at Lexington and the first volleys of the American
Revolutionary War were fired.
Introductory Note: In March of 1770, the English, had, in fact, abolished
all the duties it had imposed, except that on tea. Quite aside from
the rumblings coming from the colonies, these duties were being felt
at home. The Townsend duties had an impact on the British commercial
classes, for, there was a decline in exports. Even the tax on tea
was reduced so as to cure the smuggling problem. At these lower rates,
this tea tax would likely have been tolerable in the colonies, except
for this: in May of 1773 the East India Company had been given authority
to sell its tea free of duty except that which was to be sold in North
America. In December of 1773, there then occurred the Boston Tea Party.
In response, England, in 1774, passed a number of acts including The
Boston Port Act, The Quartering Act and The
Massachusetts Government Act. The effect of these acts was
to close Boston to foreign traffic, change the government and the
courts of justice of Massachusetts and to legalized the quartering
of British troops in colonial homes. The aim of these measures was
to curb rebellion. In return the civilian leaders of the colonies
met at Philadelphia, on September 5th, 1774: The first Continental
Congress. It passed five measures affecting the relations of the colonies
with the mother-country. It forbade the import of English wares and
ordered the cessation of all exports to Great Britain, unless they
were to be given redress of the colonial grievances prior. Further,
it approved of the opposition offered to the late acts of Parliament
by the people of Massachusetts Bay. It then issued proclamations to
the colonies, both north and south, which called for their support.
Thus, it was, that on March 23rd, 1775, at Virginia, the largest colony
in America, and with the greatest ties and more English-like then
any of the other colonies, a meeting of its delegates took place in
St. John's church in Richmond. A number of the delegates were abhorred
by the notion that they should take steps which might lead to war
with the mother-country. The resolution was presented by Patrick Henry.
Before the vote was taken, he delivered a speech in support. He stood;
silent at first, then spoke quietly and proceeded gradually to increase
his speech in force and in loudness reaching at the end a crescendo
that still echoes and will likely always echo in the hearts of men.
- No man thinks
more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities,
of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House.
But different men often see the same subject in different lights;
and, therefore, I hope that it will not be thought disrespectful
to those gentlemen, if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character
very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely
and without reserve.
This is no time
for ceremony. The question before the House is one of awful moment
to this country. For my own part I consider it as nothing less
than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the
magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate.
It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and
fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our
country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through
fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of
treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty towards
the majesty of heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.
Mr. President, it
is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are
apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the
song of that siren, till she transforms us into beasts. Is this
the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle
for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who,
having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which
so nearly concern their temporal salvation?
For my part, whatever
anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole
truth — to know the worst and to provide for it. I have but
one lamp by which my feet are guided; and that is the lamp of
experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the
past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been
in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years,
to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased
to solace themselves and the House?
Is it that insidious
smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust
it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves
to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious reception
of our petition comports with these warlike preparations which
cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary
to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves
so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be called in to
win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are
the implements of war and subjugation — the last arguments
to which kings resort. I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial
array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen
assign any other possible motives for it? Has Great Britain any
enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation
of navies and armies?
No, sir, she has
none. They are meant for us; they can be meant for no other. They
are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the
British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to
oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying
that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer on
the subject? Nothing.
We have held the
subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been
all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication?
What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted?
Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves longer.
Sir, we have done
everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now
coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated;
we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored
its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry
and Parliament.
Our petitions have
been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence
and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have
been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne. In vain,
after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and
reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope.
If we wish to be
free — if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable
privileges for which we have been so long contending — if
we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have
been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never
to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained,
we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms
and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us!
They tell us, sir,
that we are weak — unable to cope with so formidable an adversary.
But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the
next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a
British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather
strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means
of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging
the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound
us hand and foot?
Sir, we are not
weak, if we make a proper use of the means which the God of nature
hath placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the
holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we
possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send
against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone.
There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations,
and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us.
The battle, sir,
is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active,
the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base
enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest.
There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains
are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston!
The war is inevitable — and let it come! I repeat it, sir,
let it come!
It is in vain, sir,
to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, "Peace! Peace!" —
but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale
that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of
resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand
we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they
have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at
the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know
not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!
The vote of the Virginia delegates barely passed, but it passed; and
the movement we have come to know as the American Revolution was to
receive the support which it needed. Fighting erupted on April 19,
1775, at Lexington and Concord, and was followed that year by the
capture of Fort Ticonderoga from the British, the battle of Bunker
Hill (June), and the unsuccessful colonial assault on Quebec. |
