Not sure why I continue to draw attention to my habitual tardiness. <BR/><BR/>1. Iwo Jima. <BR/>2. Martin Luther King has just been shot and killed. Jesse Jackson is among those on the balcony. <BR/>3. Wow, I don't have a clue. I'll say Dutch rule in South Africa. Surely his hat is Dutch. <BR/>4. Is this when Soviet tanks came into Prague? (Prague Spring?) Or maybe it's the comparable event in Hungary. I'll stick with Prague. <BR/>5. I think he is Prince Puckler, and he has just invented a custard that he will later freeze into a phallic shape. Later generations will insert flat wooden sticks into these forms.

Tell your friends and neighbors all about it.<BR/><BR/>Now then, some answers:<BR/><BR/>1) We're on Iwo Jima. Specifically, we're atop Mt. Suribachi, but I only bring that up because I like the name "Mt. Suribachi." Also the word "atop." But basically, we're on Iwo Jima.<BR/><BR/>2) MLK has just been shot.<BR/><BR/>3) The falling soldier is a leftest resisting fascism in the Spanish Civil War.<BR/><BR/>4) It was, in fact, the day of my birth when the Soviets rolled into Prague to crush the popular uprising of the "Prague Spring" and, like some sort of malicious groundhog seeing the sunshine, imposed another 24 years of totalitarianism.<BR/><BR/>5) Czar Nicholas II -- or "Tsar Nicholas II" as he liked to be called -- the hapless final monarch of imperial Russia, in captivity, after his abdication and before his execution.Michael5000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10148584819327475239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-37453898089021573412007-11-05T20:54:00.000-08:002007-11-05T20:54:00.000-08:00Not even going to attempt this.
