19833104
Add An Event		U.S. Marines invade the Caribbean island nation of Grenada. President Ronald Reagan had been informed of the Marines' readiness sooner than he had hoped, and launched the invasion early. The object is to toppled the Communist government of the island and insure the safety of nine American medical students there. The mission takes several days, but is successful. The story is seen on the evening news by, among others, a 13-year-old boy in East Brunswick, New Jersey. His name is Michael Pacholek, and, more often than not, he has been willing to give President Reagan the benefit of the doubt on his domestic and foreign policies.

Add An Event		The second Presidential debate of the election is held at the Kansas City Municipal Auditorium. Former Vice President Walter Mondale, the Democratic nominee, is regarded as having won the first debate against President Ronald Reagan, but still badly trails the Republican incumbent in most polls. But Reagan, at 73 the oldest President in the nation's history thus far, does not give a strong performance, getting his facts wrong on such vital issues as the federal budget deficit, his plans for a missile-defense system, and even the location of the debate. "Here in Kansas," he says at one point, forgetting that the debate is being held in Kansas City, Missouri. His closing statement is a rambling discourse on a drive he once took down the Pacific Coast Highway. Mondale, much younger at 56, is coherent and accurate, and is seen as a runaway winner of the debate. It remains to be seen, however, if these performances are enough to close the gap between them.

Add An Event		The Cincinnati Reds win the World Series in six games, defeating the Boston Red Sox, 4-3 on a home run by right fielder Ken Griffey off Rick Wise in the top of the thirteenth inning. The Red Sox almost won the game on a home run of their own in the bottom of the twelfth, as catcher Carlton Fisk hit a ball down the left field line. Despite appearing to be trying to wave the ball fair, Fisk was unlucky, as his ball curved foul at the last instant, just missing the 330-foot marker in front of the foul pole at Schaefer Stadium as over 56,000 fans groaned. Many baseball fans have remarked that, had the Red Sox still been playing at old Fenway Park, with its left field pole just 315 feet from home plate, the ball would have stayed fair and been a game-winning home run, possibly giving the Red Sox their first World Championship in 57 years. As it is, their fans have to settle for their first pennant in 39 years. Watching at his home in Brooklyn, Dodger left fielder Carl Yastrzemski wonders what might have been had he signed with the Red Sox instead.

The absence of Jack Clark and Terry Pendleton with injuries was hurting the Cardinals, but they thought maybe, now, they could win against against the Royals. And, the team that had lost ALCS's in 1976-1978 and World series in 1980 and 1985 was beginning to wonder if the same old thing might happen.

We're like the '55 Dodgers we need to get this monkey off our backs now."

Add An Event		The Cleveland Indians beat the Cincinnati Reds in a battle of 2 small-market franchises that are able to keep their star players; though with Ken Griffey Jr. being injured part of this year for the Reds, that seemed to be a liability. The new Indians - which simply took over the old team's records and such, being considered the same club (just like the Pirates), have won their first Series since 1948. And, they will win more before their run is over.

Add An Event		Oscar Charleston ends his playing career as he announces his retirement at the age of 39. "I won a World Series, finally, in my last year, I think that's something to really brag about," he declares. "I always wanted to go out on top!" He'd fought fans in 1934's 7th game, won by Dean over Carl Hubbell 2-0, who had been throwing things onto the field, and was suspended for the first 10 games of 1935. This was just part of a stormy relationship with others that lead some to downplay his greatness, but this is seen as undeserved by many. "I suspect if Cobb played his full career, he'd have the same detractors," one writer would write years later. "But, Charleston didn't hit as high as Lloys, only .337 to Lloyd's .346, he didn't quite make it to 3000 hits because of injuries and a couple suspensions, ending up with 2812. He gets overlooked because of Bell's speed and hit totals. He barely made it over 500 home runs, and had to compete with Ruth, Foxx, Ott, even Greenberg on his own club. But, you put it all together, and he was the complete package."

Add An Event		Many outbreaks of wild hallucinations and sickness among the Quaker population. Some blame it on the work of the Devil and witchcraft, but instead of fanning the flames of fear the settlement leaders chose to investigate what could be causing the hallucinations and sickness. They discover that there is a fungus growing on the wheat that causes hallucinations when eaten (when made into bread) They also discover that many of the people who were getting sick also lived close to the swamps. So people were urged to pick the fungus off the wheat before processing it into bread and not to live so close to the swamps. One leader said "If the Puritans came here instead of us, most likely they would have jumped to conclusions and immediately blamed the weird occurances on witchcraft. Imagine all the people who could have been accused and killed."

Add An Event		The first Presidential debate between Vice President Lloyd Bentsen and Congressman Jack Kemp had been surprisingly lackluster. This second debate, at the Freedom Hall sports arena in Louisville, Kentucky, is not. The slowing economy, high taxes, the high federal budget deficit, the question of how much outgoing President Robert F. Kennedy did to ease poverty, and of whether RFK addressed the Cold War sufficiently, are all hotly contested. The question of Kemp's experience is brought up. Kemp, age 49, has served a District centered on Buffalo, New York for 14 years, but, while already a long favorite of the big-business, tax-cut wing of the Republican Party, was never considered for Governor or the U.S. Senate by New York Republicans. "To be President," he says, "you need to think quickly, and sometimes you need to change your mind in mid-action. It's not unlike the kind of leadership required of a quarterback in football. I've done that, with some success." Bentsen's response: "Congressman, I come from the State of Texas. I think I know a thing or two about football. Congressman, being a quarterback doesn't qualify you for the Presidency." Kemp: "Mr. Vice President, you're from the Houston area. When I was a starting quarterback, I helped the Buffalo Bills win two AFL Titles. Since then, your Houston Oilers have never again won a league title, in the AFL or the NFL. Let's just say I know more about government than you know about football, and I know at least as much about winning football as you and the liberal Democrats know about successful government." Bentsen: "But when you played for the San Diego Chargers, the Oilers beat the Chargers in two AFL Title Games." Kemp: "I learned. I got better. My team got better. Yours didn't. Same in politics. Republicans learn from their mistakes and get better. Democrats keep doing the same old thing and think it'll work, but it doesn't. You know, my wife Joanne gave me a book the other day in which the author defines insanity as doing the same thing, over and over again, and expecting a different result." Bentsen: "Are you saying that our President is insane?" Kemp: "No, I'm saying that the Democratic platform needs to be changed for the times, or else it will seem insane soon." It is an exchange that brings laughter, but also makes sense with many as-yet-undecided voters. Afterward, Kemp is told that he might lose Texas because of his remark about the Oilers. "If the Democrats need a Texan on the ticket to win this election," Kemp says, "then I think I've got a pretty good shot."

During the debate, Governor Clinton proposes higher taxes on the wealthy and increased spending on investments in education, transportation and communications that, he believed, would boost the nation's productivity and growth and thereby lower the deficit.

Add An Event		First “Ordnung Amerika” Wehrmacht unit assembled. Encouraged by the support offered by home-grown racist and fascist groups like the Ku Klux Klan and the Silver Shirts, the Nazis have been recruiting Americans deemed both “politically reliable” and “racially pure” as military auxiliaries, and there are plans to assemble SS units along the same lines to, among other things, help guard the concentration camps the Nazis are building.

The “Ordnung Amerika” is to be outfitted in German-style uniforms, but with distinctive insignia designed in Germany by the Propaganda Ministry: modified Nazi armbands whose red bands will bear a white central stripe and a blue disk emblazoned with a white swastika. The design is modeled on one dreamed up by Heinrich Himmler for a Nazi American flag, which is itself a modified version of the Confederate national flag. (An alternative design, based on the Confederate battle flag but with the diagonal stripes twisted into a swastika, was considered and rejected.)
