“A date which will live in infamy1.”….
December 8th, 1941, America enters World War Ⅱ as Congress declares war on Japan, a day after its attack on Pearl Harbor. President Franklin D. Roosevelt tells lawmakers during a joint2 session in Washington. “With confidence in our arm forces, with the unbounding determinations of our people, we will gain the inevitable3 triumph, so help us God.” Days later, the U.S. declares war on Nazi4 Germany and Fascist5 Italy after Japan’s Axis6 partners declare war on America.
And 1980, (imagine all the people, living life in peace) shock and grief around the wolf after the murder of a music icon7 in New York. Rock star John Lennon, former member of the Beatles, is shot to death outside his apartment building. His killer8, Mark David Chapman, an apparently9 deranged10 fan. Lennon was 40 years old.
