 March 9th 1954 - Journalist Edward R.Murrow takes on Senator Joe McCarthy’s anti-communist campaign. Murrow critically reviews McCarthy’s tactics on his “See it Now” program on CBS.

"The actions of the junior Senator from Wisconsin have caused alarm and dismay amongst our allies abroad, and given considerable comfort to our enemies. And whose fault is that? Not really his. He didn't create this situation of fear; he merely exploited it—and rather successfully." Months later, McCarthy is censored1 by his fellow senators bringing his campaign to an end.
1862 – A civil war battle at Hampton Grove2, Virginia opens a new chapter in naval3 warfare4. Two ironclad ships - the Monitor and Virginia formally known as the Merrimack clash for 5 hours to withdraw.
1996 - Comedian5 George Burns dies in Beverly Hills, California at age 100. His career spanned from radio and TV with wife Gracie Allen to playing God on the silver screen. "Incidentally, 'kill' is the word. It's not 'waste'. If I meant waste I would have written 'Thou shalt not waste'."And 1997 - In Los Angeles, the Notorious B.I.G. is killed in a drive-by shooting that remains6 unsolved. The ganster rapper whose real name was Christopher Wallace was 24 years old.
