Five years ago: With President Barack Obama standing off to the side, former President Bill Clinton warned during a fundraiser in New York that a Mitt Romney presidency would be "calamitous" for the nation and the world. Al-Qaida's second-in-command, Abu Yahya al-Libi (ah-BOO' yah-HEE'-ah ahl LIH'-bee), was killed in a U.S. drone strike in North Waziristan, Pakistan.

One year ago: A day after the death of Muhammad Ali, President Barack Obama said the boxing legend "shook up the world and the world is better for it," and that Ali stood with Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela in fighting for what was right. Hillary Clinton scored a sweeping win in the U.S. Virgin Islands, picking up all seven pledged delegates at stake as she inched tantalizingly close to the Democratic nomination. Garbine Muguruza (GAHR'-been-yuh MOO'-guh-roo-sah) won her first Grand Slam title by beating defending champion Serena Williams 7-5, 6-4 at the French Open, denying the American her record-equaling 22nd major trophy.

Re: June 4th - Happy Birthday Sean Pertwee, Scott Wolf, Noah Wyle, & Angelina Jolie


Today is Monday, June 4, the 155th day of 2018. There are 210 days left in the year.

Today's Highlights in History:
On June 4, 1939, in a journey that was called “The Voyage of the Damned,” the MS St. Louis (aka SS St. Louis), a ship carrying 963 Jewish refugees, is denied permission to land in Florida, in the United States, after already being turned away from Cuba. Forced to return to Europe, more than 200 of its passengers later die in Nazi concentration camps.

On June 4, 1940, during World War II, the Allied military evacuation of some 338,000 troops from Dunkirk, France, ended. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill declared: "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender."

On June 4, 1963, President John F. Kennedy ordered Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace "to cease and desist" from any unlawful obstruction of justice in connection with the admission of two African-American students to the University of Alabama. The order was a final technical step required before the president could use federal troops to enforce the court order for desegregation of the university.

On June 4, 1989, In May, nearly a million Chinese students and others held mass protests calling for greater democracy and an end to corruption at Tiananmen Square in the center of Beijing, but on June 4, Chinese troops with tanks and armored cars stormed Tiananmen Square, killing at least 241 people when firing into the crowd indiscriminately and arresting thousands of pro democracy protesters some of who are still in jail.
