On This Date in the Past

In the #Flashback section within the Fox News First email that arrived in my Inbox at 4:43 AM, there are these milestones:

  • 1993: A federal jury in Los Angeles convicts two former police officers of violating the civil rights of beaten motorist Rodney King; two other officers are acquitted.
  • 1973: Federal Express (later FedEx) begins operations as 14 planes carrying 186 packages take off from Memphis International Airport, bound for 25 U.S. cities.
  • 1972: Boston Marathon allows women to compete for the first time; Nina Kuscsik is the first officially recognized women's champion, with a time of 3:10:26.
Reading more, I noticed this blurb and thought 7eventh Time Down was a typo:

The Todd Starnes Show, Noon, ET: The Christian rock group 7eventh Time Down will drop by the studio for a musical performance and Jeremy Dys, deputy general counsel for First Liberty Institute, will discuss Vice President Pence's upcoming commencement address at Taylor University.

And, once again, I see this in the footer:
