1964 - Pan Am Yankee Clipper flight 101 from London Heathrow lands at New York’s Kennedy Airport–and “Beatlemania” arrives. It was the first visit to the United States by the Beatles, a British rock-and-roll quartet that had just scored its first No. 1 U.S. hit six days before with “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” At Kennedy, the “Fab Four”–dressed in mod suits and sporting their trademark pudding bowl haircuts–were greeted by 3,000 screaming fans who caused a near riot when the boys stepped off their plane and onto American soil.

1884 - The first portion, or fascicle, of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), considered the most comprehensive and accurate dictionary of the English language, is published.

The OED is famous for its lengthy cross-references and etymologies.

This Day In History
1974 - The pioneering movie producer Samuel Goldwyn dies in his sleep at the age of 91, at his home in Los Angeles. Because of Goldwyn’s demanding nature and his unwillingness to work with anyone other than the most respected screenwriters, directors, actors and other creative artists, his films earned a reputation as some of the finest in the business. His constant drive for perfection led him to dominate the production of his films to a degree that sometimes annoyed his employees, but almost invariably produced a better finished product; this effect was known in the business as “the Goldwyn touch.” He was also known for making numerous colorful (if completely illogical) statements, which were dubbed “Goldwynisms.” Two of the more famous examples repeated over the years were “Include me out” and “I’ll tell you in two words: im-possible!”

1834 - Andrew Jackson becomes the first president to use federal troops to quell labor unrest. Workers building the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal were rebelling because of persistent poor working conditions and low pay. The canal project, initially designed by George Washington, was intended to ease transportation of goods from the Chesapeake Bay to the Ohio River Valley. The move set a dangerous precedent for future labor-management relations. When labor uprisings increased toward and into the turn of the century, business leaders were confident in the knowledge that they could turn to local, state or federal government leaders to head off labor unrest.

1973 - Former President Lyndon Baines Johnson dies in Johnson City, Texas, at the age of 64. After leaving the White House in 1968, L.B.J. returned to his beloved home state, Texas, with his wife, Lady Bird Johnson, and immersed himself in the activity dearest to him: ranching. Although ostensibly retired, L.B.J. kept up a busy daily schedule reminiscent of his days in the White House. His biographer, Doris Kearns, observed Johnson going about ranching duties with the same intensity he had once displayed at work in the Oval Office. At morning meetings on the ranch, Johnson instructed each hand to “make a solemn pledge that you will not go to bed tonight until you are sure that every steer has everything he needs.”

1919 - President Woodrow Wilson attends the Paris Peace Conference that would formally end World War I and lay the groundwork for the formation of the League of Nations. Wilson envisioned a future in which the international community could preempt another conflict as devastating as the First World War and, to that end, he urged leaders from France, Great Britain and Italy to draft at the conference what became known as the Covenant of League of Nations. The document established the concept of a formal league to mediate international disputes in the hope of preventing another world war.
