The C.A. six tips of the day for July 18
By Bonnie Adams, Government Editor
Region – Today is Wednesday, July 18, the 200th day of 2012. On this day 1969, Senator Edward Kennedy and his passenger, Mary Jo Kopechne, left a party on Chappaquiddick Island, off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard. With Kennedy behind the wheel, the car went off a bridge into a pond. Kennedy was able to escape but Kopechne did not. Her body was not recovered until the next day after Kennedy finally reported the accident.
On this day in 1940 Franklin D. Roosevelt was nominated for the third of his four terms as president of the United States. FDR is the only U.S. president to serve more than two terms. And thanks to the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which was passed in 1947, U.S. presidents are limited to serving only two terms.
And on this day in 1925, Volume One of Adolf Hitler’s autobiography, Mein Kamf, was published.
Today’s birthdays include – actor Vin Diesel (1967); entrepreneur Richard Branson (1950) and former South African president and activist Nelson Mandela (1918).
