How much money would have be lying on the sidewalk for Bill Gates to decide to bend over and grab it? For me, it's a penny. December 7th, 1941, a date that will live in infamy. Americans remember Pearl Harbor. Krakatoa, East of Java is a 1968 disaster film starring Maximilian Schell and Brian Keith. During the 1970s, the film was re-released under the title Volcano. The story based on the 1883 eruption of the volcano on the island of Krakatoa, with the characters recovering a cargo of pearls from a shipwreck close to the volcano. The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Special Visual Effects. Krakatoa is actually west of Java, but the producers thought that ''East'' sounded more atmospheric. This book is Agatha Christie's best-selling novel with 100 million sales to date, making it the world's best-selling mystery.
The Channel Islands of Guernsey (Guernsey, Herm, Sark, Alderney and Lihou) were under German occupation during World War II from 1940 to liberation in 1945. Known as 'Hitler's Island Madness' the Channel Islands became the most fortified place in the world. Wall Street was first developed in the 17th century as it was a boundary of a settlement known as New Amsterdam.

Within a few short years the planks and picket fences that had formed the wall had been replaced by a wall that was 12 feet tall and designed to keep out the Native American tribes. Artful Dodging: Answering a different question than the one that was asked-not quite a lie, but an evasion.

I have business all over the world.'' On a sunny afternoon in Dallas, Texas, November 22, 1963, the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, was assassinated, plunging the nation and the world into grief. The official story was straightforward: Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, shot and killed the President. Case closed. Or was it?
State Trooper Bob Welsh tells of a Christmas past. Civilizations developed on the flanks of volcanoes for the same reason an estimated 500 million people continue to live on them today: mineral-rich soil, geothermal energy, tourism opportunities and natural beauty. Following the recent volcanic eruption in Iceland, and the 30th anniversary of the eruption of Mount St. Helens, we started wondering which volcanoes pose the biggest threat to people. A Look at a Day Which Would Live in Infamy. In the hours before Pearl Harbor, Washington Post articles spoke of the failing negotiations between the U.S. and Japan. Read about the articles and President Roosevelt's dramatic move to prevent war. See his ''Date Which Will Live in Infamy'' speech and related articles.
James the Just was not only Jesus’ younger brother, but also his successor as leader of the first Christians. If Christianity had built its church on this rock, the world would be a different place today. Read here the forgotten story of a man whose memory was deliberately erased by the Church.

In the late 1970s, the U.S. became concerned about Soviet developments of "killer satellites" that could destroy vital reconnaissance and communication satellites. There were reports that the USSR had already developed anti-satellite weapons. To counter this, the U.S. developed an anti-satellite missile, the ASM-135 ASA to be launched from an American fourth-generation fighter, the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle.
