October 2nd

I don't intend to do this a lot, but today marks several momentous event in history. Of particular interest to MTW fans:

Born
1452 King Richard III of England (1483-85)

Events
1187 Sultan Saladin captures Jerusalem from Crusaders
1870 Italy annexes the Papal States, Rome becomes the capital of Italy

Also
1942 Enrico Fermi establishes the first self-sustaining nuclear reaction

Cheers.

Once more into the breach, dear friends; once more consign their parts most private to a Rutland tree! & men in London, still a-bed, shall think themselves accursed they were not here & hold their manhood cheap while others speak who fought with us on Ralph the Liar's Day!
