1916
During a deadly heat wave, thousands of residents were at the seaside resorts of Jersey Shore. Between July 1 and July 2 of 1916, five different people were attacked by sharks, and four of them ultimately died. Scientific knowledge about sharks was limited at this time, so these tragic incidents started a wave of "shark panic" that was spread by telephone calls, letters, newspapers, and other media.
1916 · The First woman elected into the US Congress
Jeannette Pickering Rankin became the first woman to hold a federal office position in the House of Representatives, and remains the only woman elected to Congress by Montana.
1938
The infamous radio debut of War of the Worlds (an adaptation of the novel by Orson Welles) was broadcast from New Jersey. The drama program was framed as a news broadcast describing an alien invasion, which reportedly caused panic among a small subset of listeners that tuned in late. However, the newspaper industry exaggerated reports of the confusion to make it sound widespread. It's believed that the newspaper industry was attempting to take advantage of the situation to discredit the reliability of radio broadcasting.
Name Meaning
family name, of obscure derivation, borne most notably by Gaius Julius Caesar ( ?102–44 bc ). It was in use among the early Christians, and was the name of an early and influential pope ( 337–52 ), as well as of a later pope ( 1443–1513 ) who attempted to combat the corruption of the Renaissance papacy. The name is used occasionally in the English-speaking world, one of its best‐known bearers being the writer John Julius Norwich ( b. 1929 ).
