So the Republican Party was created on this date in 1854 as an anti-slavery party. One can’t help but wonder what those founders would make of it today.
I found a misspelling and I can't help but point it out. "No new political party since then has won the presidency of the United Sates." I hate to be the kind of a person who points out errors in spelling and typos but I feel my affection for the Writer's Almanac dictates that I, indeed, am that kind of person.
I value the WA because I fail to value the trifle I am forced to read in the modern world. No meaningful fact checking, no proof reading and hideous grammar. I read the repeated installments of the Writer's Almanac as a reminder that there is still an English Major out there that cares that I care.
Watson & Crick would have had NOTHING without Rosalind Franklin and her x-ray images. She should have won, as well, and the money should have gone to her estate. She is too often forgotten; thank you for remembering her priceless contribution to our knowledge of DNA!

Thank you Ben Hecht, a proud Zionist, for your efforts to get arms to Israel so it could achieve independence in 1948.
There are those who believe the Republican Party was founded in 1854 in Jackson, Michigan…Under the Oaks…
