On this day:1955 - Bo Diddley, the first African American to appear on The Ed Sullivan Show, sings Bo Diddley instead of Tennessee Ernie Ford's hit, "Sixteen Tons". Sullivan shocked.
1962 - Cuban Missile Crisis ends
2005 - President Bush tugged at both handles on the double doors before admitting: "I was trying to escape. Obviously, it didn't work."
Happy Birthday to
