           WHAT HAPPENED ON THE "ST NEWS" RELEASE DATE
                           (JUNE 17TH)
                      by Richard Karsmakers

The second time this new column appears, and it's still hardly a
very useful one,  but it's a nice trivial thing and it's not  too
big anyway, so who'd give a toss anyway (it's also some promotion
for  the  kind of output that the forthcoming  "Brain  Management
Utility" database will be capable of doing).

So...on June 17th the following things have happened:

     1742      William Hooper, the man who signed the Declaration
               of Independence, born
     1882      Igor  Fyodorovich  Strawinsky,   Russian  composer

The text of the articles is identical to the originals like they appeared in old ST NEWS issues. Please take into consideration that the author(s) was (were) a lot younger and less responsible back then. So bad jokes, bad English, youthful arrogance, insults, bravura, over-crediting and tastelessness should be taken with at least a grain of salt. Any contact and/or payment information, as well as deadlines/release dates of any kind should be regarded as outdated.
