Our Newsletter called The Vanguard represents a current selection of information about what happened in history on this date. The page comes from a year's worth of such items that we have placed on this Website. Some might liken this offering to a Book of Days, but it was never meant to be that type of isolated rendering. The text presents thoughts, many inter-related, about today's world and how our civilisation has revolved from the past. It is not meant to be comprehensive, and on some topics it is quite redundant, but not in my view needlessly repetitive. If you can get by the bad spelling and typos, inconsistent format, hot links that no longer work, bad french, poor puns and clear (and not so clear) biases, then this effort may have worth to you -- at least entertainment value. I work on this nearly every day, so come back often. You can directly to our newsletter, The Vanguard, this months historic gleanings or start exploring the pages on this Website from links below. The late William Safire once said: “Any past event is historical, but only the most memorable ones are historic” -- bonne chance mes amis:
