The Third Cod War began between the United Kingdom and Iceland, and would last until June 1976.
Holy Mackarel.
Soyuz 20, an uncrewed spacecraft, was launched by the Soviet Union in order to test the endurance of the vehicle and a biological payload. It remained in orbit for 90 days and returned on February 16, 1976.
Er... "biological payload?"
Eldridge Cleaver, former leader of the Black Panthers group, returned to the United States after seven years in exile.
Not the Beaver.
The release of a report by the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee confirmed that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency had tried twice to assassinate Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, and once to poison Congo Premier Patrice Lumumba, and that it had supplied aid to insurgents who later assassinated South Vietnam's President Ngo Dinh Diem and Dominican Republic dictator Rafael Trujillo. The report emphasized that "No foreign leaders were killed as a result of assassination plots initiated by officials of the United States."
I'm not sure which is worse-- that they tried to assassinate foreign leaders or that they failed so badly.
Afterward, Reagan flew to Miami, where he was confronted at his motel by a 20-year-old man holding a pistol, which turned out to be a plastic toy replica of a .45 caliber revolver.
"Just practicing."
In 1942, Dr. Schuetz, a colonel in the SS, had injected bacteria into eleven Roman Catholic priests imprisoned at the Dachau concentration camp as part of a medical experiment.
Where did they find these freaks? It's like something out of a Grindhouse movie.
Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, 82, died in Madrid, effectively marking the end of the dictatorship established following the Spanish Civil War and the beginning of Spain's transition to democracy.

Antuilio Ortiz, who had become the first person to hijack an American airline flight to Cuba
Giving birth to one of the most popular tropes of the 60s and 70s.
Ortiz, who had remained in Cuba and lived comfortably for his first two years, had been incarcerated several times after trying to leave the Communist nation.
You can check out any time you like....
He would spend another four years in a Florida prison, a relatively light sentence because there had been no federal law against hijacking at the time of Ortiz's crime.
"Hey, leave me alone! It's perfectly legal!"
The U.S. Navy missile cruiser USS [/]Belknap[/i] (CG-26) collided with the aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67), killing seven people on the Belknap and one on the Kennedy. Captain Walter R. Shafer of USS Belknap would be acquitted of charges of negligence in a court-martial six months later.
How can big-ass ships like these collide? You've got to be able to see them coming.
"Rock and Roll All Nite," Kiss
Good one. Strong nostalgic value. RIP, Ace.
"Evil Woman," Electric Light Orchestra
Very good one. ELO at their best. Strong nostalgic value.
Another very good one. Strong nostalgic value.
"Sing a Song," Earth, Wind & Fire
I do know this, but it has no nostalgic connection. Maybe I know it from Time-Life or
Lost 45s.
They got off easy with that land developer.
Well, one thing is that they've only got a half hour.
Lynda Carter probably could have done that a bit more convincingly.
She also would have stopped that tractor with her bare hands.
Yet they just aired their most classic episode
That's true. I was actually surprised to be reminded that it took place during the New Apartment Era.
That didn't come up, though...I think it was about not wanting to socialize with Ted.
That's one of the things that give me the impression that it's getting tired-- that they're forgetting details like this.
The way he described it, he got backed into it.
Ah, okay.
We saw her bed in the old one, but it didn't have a bedroom.
Yeah, she used the foldaway thing.
Yeah,
Three's Company is only a little over a year away, I think. I remember it being a mid-season replacement.
Just the lines of the ceremony...and I see what you did there.
Pretty much everyone else's reaction...with one notable exception.

Another coordination with the show's timeslot buddy, that Carol just got married the other week?
Yeah, it's interesting. I do wonder if they shared a writer's room or something along those lines. Actually, it's too bad there was never a crossover.
He's smarter than the average bear!
I'm surprised she even got up.
Or one of Casey's appearances on H5O.
Ah, Casey Kasem, right. Took me a second. True, it's the same kind of thing.
Bad publicity and scandal, I guess.
Right, reporters hanging around would drive patients away.
I think you may be misunderstanding the intent of the comment.
Maybe. I assumed you meant that's he about to go rogue.
Or does that only happen in Boston?
Well, one time it did. It happens in other cities and all over the world. Sports fans are animals!
"Downloading Oscar 3.2... 90%.... 95%....."
I recall it being established that Earth-2 WW aged (albeit slowly) either because she stayed in Man's World or specifically because she married Steve Trevor.
Never knew that....
In the Golden Age comics, the Nazi villain Baroness Paula von Gunther reformed and became the Amazons' chief scientist.
....or this either. I really don't know a lot about DC continuity, apparently.
It quickly got tiresome for me, even at the age of 13, because it was very formulaic and hokily kid-friendly, making it a sort of live-action cartoon. A commonly mocked trope of the show was how in the climactic battle sequences, the team would unload automatic weapons fire on bad guys' vehicles, which would roll over but not obligatory explode, so that the bad guys could crawl out and dust themselves off. And it became a predictable bit of business that the team would routinely take a job out of charity...I remember some South of the Border village kid offering them his paltry savings and Hannibal declaring that the fee was just about enough.
I think that was a popular trope across the board in those days. This just brought up a memory of Mister Roarke doing the same thing.
