Good morning Oprano

Red · 06-29-2005

On this day, way back when....

The Globe Theater, where most of Shakespeare's plays debuted, burned down on this day in 1613.

1989 Congress votes new sanctions against China
In yet another reaction to the Chinese government's brutal massacre of protesters in Tiananmen Square in Beijing earlier in the month, the House of Representatives unanimously passes a package of sanctions against the People's Republic of China. American indignation, however, was relatively short-lived and most of the sanctions died out after a brief period.

1862 Battle of Savage's Station
Confederate General Robert E. Lee attacks Union General George McClellan as he is pulling his army away from Richmond, Virginia, in retreat during the Seven Days' Battles. Although the Yankees lost 1,000 men—twice as many as the Rebels—they were able to successfully protect the retreat.

That's good to know. My college course in Shakespeare was one of my favorites and getting to play Audrey in As You Like It was so much fun.
