今日除o左一干人等(包括: 唱片公司/娛樂集團高層阿楊生/陳生/麥生,影星阿謝生,麥生等 ... 及電視台的一些幕後/高層)被帶去飲咖啡之外
原來阿葉太已經向董生請辭 (講真佢都應該多D時間陪佢個女。何況,個女去到英國咁遠讀書,冇人冇物,葉太,香港人支持妳)
又覺得有D人都係適合做其他野多d: 好似董生董太咁, 好地地做人公公婆婆爺爺女麻女麻咪幾多law ...
當然: 一些影視界的人都係做model好D la,唔知點解佢地唔做model 都咁多人鍾意! 唔通呢個就係香港?
古巴音樂人 Compay Segundo 終於在星期日結束了其九十五載燦爛的一生 ~ 雖然冇睇過Buena Vista Social Club套戲,不過隻soundtrack真係好正。 Mr. Compay Segundo 真正能做到將古巴音樂響遍全球 (就是因為 Beuna Vista Social Club) 不過唔知佢唔食雪茄會唔會咁長命呢? 九十五歲喎
永遠懷念 (葉太)

The pair are seen joined by handcuffs.
1938: Aviation industry pioneer Howard Hughes completed a record setting round-the-world flight on this day in 1938, having circumnavigated the globe in three days, nineteen hours and seventeen minutes.

1789: The famed storming of the Bastille took place on this day in 1789 during the French Revolution.

The incident is seen in an illustration.

Born:
1913: Americas thirty-eighth President Gerald Ford was born in Omaha, Nebraska on this day in 1913. The affable Michigan Congressman first became Vice President when Spiro Agnew resigned and then replaced Richard Nixon as President in the final act of the Watergate crisis.

1912: Born in rural Oklahoma on this day in 1912, folk song writer and performer Woody Guthrie never strayed far from the plight of Americas farm workers in his best-known songs of the Depression Era. This Land Is My Land, and Hard Traveling are among his plain, sparse, trenchant compositions衫any of which reflected his own leftist political sentiments. Guthrie is seen wearing a fishing cap in a 1960s portrait.
Died:
1958: The young King Faisal II of Iraq was killed in a military coup on this day in 1958, along with the rest of his family. Installed as King in 1953, the English-educated monarch sought to counterbalance Egypts growing ascendancy in the Middle East with a Jordanian alliance. Faisal II is seen in a 1958 headshot.
1965: By the time of his death on this day in 1965, the witty, cerebral Adlai Stevenson represented something of a lost age in American politics.

Born:
1895: Born on this day in 1895, the designer Buckminster Fuller achieved fame for his invention and tireless promotion of the geodesic dome.

1908: On this day in 1908 comedian Milton Berle was born in New York City. Berle was a moderately successful performer on stage, film and radio until the advent of television and the launch of his pioneering Texaco Star Theater' television show.

1937: Born on this day in 1937, Bill Cosby was a young and relatively unknown comedian when he joined the cast of TVs 'I Spy' (1965-1968), becoming one of the first African-Americans to appear in a prime time series.

He is seen laughing in a still from 'The Cosby Show'.
*BC Born on this day during the month which was later named for him, the Roman general and dictator Julius Caeser pursued a series of military campaigns across Europe and the Mediterranean while being accorded great power in Rome. Ultimately viewed as a tyrant, he was famously murdered on the Ides (fifteenth) of March by a conspiracy of Roman aristocrats. He is seen in profile in a portrait.
1817: Born on this day in 1817, Henry David Thoreau, seen in a portrait, tried teaching and pencil manufacturing before devoting himself to poetry and essay-writing in the 1840s. Waldon and Civil Disobedience remain classic works from what came to be known as the Transcendentalist Movement, both influenced greatly by his long relationship with Ralph Waldo Emerson, who shared his love for solitary contemplation and nature.
