30
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:11.080
The number one book was The Last Hurrah by Edwin O'Connor.

31
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:14.840
Top movie was High Society, when a socialite is about

00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.319

38
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:35.800
What happened on July the twentieth? They are partying in

39
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:37.560
Peru today it's national holiday.

40
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:38.120
Today.

41
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:42.000
In eighteen twenty one, Peru they declared their independence from Spain. Now,

42
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:45.759
unlike our July fourth, they celebrate for two days. Eighteen

43
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:49.240
sixty six, US President Andrew Johnson signed the Metric Act

44
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.800
of eighteen sixty six. It made it legal for Americans

45
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:55.919
to use the metric system. But just like Jimmy Carter

46
00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:58.240
who tried to make Americans use the metric system. In

47
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.080
the nineteen seventies, Johnson was all a one term president.

48
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:05.120
Eighteen sixty eight, the fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution

49
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:09.719
was ratified. It granted US citizenship to all former slaves. Yeah,

50
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:11.719
they'd been freed a few years ago, but they really

51
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:15.240
didn't have any rights. This legally made x slaves equal

52
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:19.719
citizens under the law. Nineteen fourteen, in New York City,

53
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.599
at a party at the New Amsterdam Roof Garden, guy

54
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.159
named Henry Fox busted a move on the dance floor

55
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:29.159
no one had ever seen before. Everybody absolutely loved it,

56
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.479
and they really loved learner know how to do it?

57
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:32.840
They ain't at the Fox Truck.

58
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:36.919
Also in nineteen fourteen, it had been one month since

59
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.599
a Serbian had assassinated Austria's Archduke Ferdinand and his wife.

60
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:43.840
Austria declared war on Serbia. Today made it official.

61
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:44.840
So now was on.

62
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.599
World War One officially began. Everyone now just had to

63
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:51.240
pick what's side you were on. Nineteen forty two, the

64
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:54.639
United States being coffee rationing, every family could get one

65
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.360
found of coffee every five weeks. That wasn't because of

66
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.319
a coffee shortage. Actually, Latin and South American company Copanies.

67
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:02.280
They had more coffee than they knew what to do it.

68
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.520
The problem was transportation. Yeah, they just weren't many ships available.

69
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:08.159
All the ships were being used for military purposes. But

70
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:10.759
exactly one year later, in nineteen forty three, they got

71
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.479
her all figured out and coffee rationing was over. Nineteen

72
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:16.959
forty five, the United States Air Force bomber it was

73
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.319
just on a routine flight when it got into heavy

74
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:21.879
fog over New York City and got itself lost, ended

75
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:23.959
up slamming into the seventy ninth floor of the Empire

76
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.560
State Building. All three crew members on the plane and

77
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.319
eleven people in the building were killed. Betty Lou Oliver,

78
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:31.759
she was working as an elevator operator on the seventy

79
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:35.120
fifth floor. Flying shop metal had injured Betty pretty bad,

80
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:37.759
so when rescue workers they finally got it, they decided

81
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:40.000
she needed to get down there for emergency medical attention

82
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:42.000
right out, So they put her on the elevator and

83
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:44.360
then sent her down. What they didn't know was all

84
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.160
that flying shop metal that had injured Betty. Yeah, it

85
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.199
also cut all those elevator cables, so she free fell

86
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:53.399
over one thousand feet to the building's basement. Rescuers knew

87
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:55.279
that she wasn't alive, but they did go down to

88
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.720
try into the basement to recover her body. Hotly crap, Betty,

89
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:01.319
she was still alive. Even all those cables fill down

90
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.399
that ship. It kind of ended up in almost like

91
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:05.759
a coil, so it was just enough of a spring

92
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:07.959
to really keep the elevator car from crashing and winking

93
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:10.319
too hard, Betty, she was twenty years old. That she

94
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.920
was really messed up, broken, peale was broken, back, broken, next,

95
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.120
you name it. It was broken. But it took a

96
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:18.519
year and she made a complete recovery. I'm betting this

97
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.800
because she was twenty years old now, Betty, Yeah, Betty Lou.

98
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.000
She still holds the world record for longest fall down

99
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:29.600

crooners in history. Performed in Rudy Valley and the Connecticut Yankees.

113
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:19.800
Now at that time good microphones really hadn't been invented yet.

114
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:22.279
Some most microphones kind of sucks, and his band would

115
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:24.040
play so loud that the crowd couldn't hear him sing

116
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.079

00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.439
Tupperware parties got pretty big, and then nineteen fifty eight
