President Warren Harding had carried on a lengthy affair with a married woman, and other dalliances as well, including one with a woman thirty-one years younger than he. Their trysts sometimes took place in a large White House broom closet. But as a later medical analysis found, Mr. Harding was not murdered by Mrs. Harding. He was most likely done in by a massive heart attack. The Klu Klux Klan had tried to claim the president as one of their own—a lie.
Mrs Harding was at his bedside reading him a piece from the Saturday Evening Post when his heart stopped at 7:30 p.m. Four hours later, Calvin Coolidge was awakened by his father at the family homestead in Vermont and sworn in. After taking the oath of office by kerosene lamp in a house without electricity, President Coolidge went back to sleep. Harding’s death was a shock, instantly fueling rumors of assassination by poison. He’d been on a tour of Alaska, British Columbia, and the Pacific.

New theory claims you’re weightless. Colors bloom and morph, painting fractal patterns as the arrow of time torrents forward. The shapes unfurl into luminous ribbons before burning up into ash with the scent of campfire smoke, reminiscent of so many childhood summers.

[Walgreens] Prohibition also outlawed medicinal prescription of alcohol, a dagger to a flourishing industry. Under Prohibition, people with a doctor’s note could buy a pint for all that ailed them every ten days at a drugstore. This business made a wealthy man out of Charles Walgreen, whose Chicago-based chain of drugstores grew from nine in 1920 to 525 by the end of the decade.

[Saving] I think we should be able to add punctuation to the name of a file when we are Saving it. i.e. Sally’s shoes. Only dashes and underscore marks are allowed, no apostrophes. It’s reminiscent of the Y2K scare. They can send Katie Perry to the Moon why can’t they fix it so I can use punctuation when naming a file to Save?
