More than 1300 wounded, and more than 1200 houses were destroyed. Deathcount: 936 people, with 209 of them being children under 15 years old. ![]() It was a busy day, so there were a lot of people out, shopping, living their lives, children going to school, so as you can guess, there were a ton of casualties. In the end, only 4 bombs hit their intended mark. They thought that the school was the factory. ![]() But what they didn't know was that they were bombing the town centre of Mortsel, together with a nearby school. They found their target and started bombing the place, dropping more than 800 bombs on it. 83 planes of the American and the Brittish forces flew out towards Mortsel. All of this was going happen on the 5th of April, 1943. Because of this, the American forces were planning to bomb a German aircraft factory nearby. A town taken by the german forces during WWII. Anyway, there is a town in Belgium near Antwerp, called Mortsel. The reason for that will be explained further on. So I don't know if this is the best place to post this, since this is my first time posting anything on reddit, but I want to tell a story that most people have not heard about. ![]()

Until the 1960s, when Milton Friedman was in his 50s, pretty much the only people who’d heard of him were other economists and a few of his fellow right-wingers. Here, Kurt Andersen considers how a wonkish 3,000-word essay on economics altered a country’s course - and its character. To mark its 50th anniversary, DealBook and the Times Magazine assembled experts including chief executives, Nobel Laureate economists and top think-tank leaders to debate and dissect the legacy of Friedman’s ideas. On September 13th, 1970, the New York Times Magazine published an essay by Milton Friedman entitled “The Social Responsibility of Business Is to Increase Its Profits,” which turned out to be one of the most influential economic arguments of the century. ![]() ![]() Kane returned red hot but was soon put in the Katie Vick storyline and looked like crap during the build up and his big match against HHH. RVD went from the hottest star in the WWE to nothing more than another midcarder by mid-2003. During these two title runs the only guy who came out looking good was his good buddy HBK. I include both his first and second title runs in this. HHH on the other hand basically burried all of his opponents during his dominance over Raw in 2002/3. ![]() His opponents looked strong against him and it was more of a "luck" factor that allowed JBL to keep his title. ![]() Hell during most of his PPV matches he barely got much offense in besides for his feud w/ Eddie and then Cena in 2005. Eddie, Taker, Booker, Angle, and Show mostly dominated JBL during their feuds and matches. JBL was pushed as a champ who was lucky to keep his title. In fact, most of his opponents came out looking good. Unlike HHH's "reign of terror" in 2003, JBL never burried anyone during his title reign. ![]() ![]() ![]() James insisted that writers in Great Britain and America should be allowed the greatest freedom possible in presenting their view of the world, as French authors were. His method of writing from the point of view of a character within a tale allowed him to explore the phenomena of consciousness and perception, and his style in later works has been compared to impressionist painting. His plots centered on personal relationships, the proper exercise of power in such relationships, and other moral questions. He is primarily known for a series of major novels in which he portrayed the encounter of America with Europe. He spent much of his life in England and became a British subject shortly before his death.

Hamish Hamilton decided, therefore, to honour his books with a new typeface, giving them at least some kind of distinction, and commissioned the celebrated type designer, Seb Lester, the job of illuminating Salinger’s front covers.
