Today is...

Author Charles Lamb's birthday, 1775
(Read the full text of his works on Bartleby.)

Nobel Literature prize winner and author of Doctor Zhivago, Boris Pasternak's birthday, 1890

Playwright Bertholt Brecht's birthday, 1898
Watch and listen to Nanna's song on Youtube.

And the anniversary of the first time the New York Times put the slogan,
All the News That's Fit to Print (1897) on its front page.

Thanks to Chase's Calendar of Events 2009 (Ref 394 CHA)
