"Six Items a Day of Enduring Insignificance"
------------------------------------------------------------
Greetings Infomaniacs,
On May 14, 1948, Israel declared to be an independent state
and a provisional government is established. Immediately
after the declaration, Israel was attacked by the neighboring
Arab state.
In 1955 eight communist bloc countries, including the Soviet
Union, sign a mutual defence treaty called the Warsaw Pact.
Skylab, the United States' first space station, is launched
on this day in 1973. It is the last launch of the Saturn V
rocket.
And in 1998 the finale of Seinfeld airs on NBC, with 76
million viewers tuning in to watch Jerry Seinfeld, George
Costanza, Elaine Benes, and Cosmo Kramer stand trial in the
fictional Lathem, Massachusetts for breaking the Good
Samaritan Law.
Enjoy!
