1789: We remember another anniversary of The Bill of Rights

We remember another anniversary of the US Congress approving The Bill of Rights or the first 10 amendments to the US Constitution.

These "rights" are second nature to us today.  We assume that every person in the world has the right to practice his religion or freedom of the press.  In fact, most citizens in the world do not have these guarantees, from privacy to a jury trial to protections from cruel & unusual punishment.

Also, let's not forget that the Founding Fathers fought to include these rights in the Constitution.

1970: We said hello to The Partridge Family on TV this week

-

The Partridge Family made its debut on ABC this week in 1970.   They were inspired by The Cowsills, the pop group that featured mom singing with her kids.    Apparently, the idea of the show was offered to The Cowsills but it did not work out.   

The Partridge Family had a couple of big hits.   In the end, David Cassidy became a huge teen idol and had hits as a solo artist in the 1970's
