Upchuck reminds us that today is the 140th birthday of Reno, Nevada, which is probably where he works today.Today is also Europe Day, for those of you of a European persuasion, and the 115th birthday of William Marston, a psychologist who co-invented Wonder Woman. (This is not the same William Marston as appears in "Forgotten but not Gone.") Interestingly, Marston worked for a time at Tufts University, which is thought to have been the model for Raft University, where Daria Morgendorffer went off to college.
By a curious twist of fate, today is also the day when, in 1961, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Newton Minow, called TV programming a "vast wasteland." My, that was prescient of him, wasn't it? Good thing Daria was there to balance it all out.
More soon.
