When I was a kid, the central square (Trg Republike) would every evening be filled with soccer fans, different clubs under different street lights. They were 6 daily newspapers, half filled with communist drivel, and the other half with sports, and 3 daily sports newspapers. And by 'sports' they meant soccer, there was a paragraph here and there about something else.
This was religion for morons, I would never
have anything to do with it.
Vinogradska Bolnica, Zagreb, Apr 1, 1946
Just a bit after midnight, 22 year old Đurđica Golmajer gave a birth to a baby of extraordinary head size, the same that he would carry for the rest of his life. 400,000 AFL bituminous coal miners walked out. Not much else happened that Monday - here is the main item from the top of day's front page of Washington Post:
OLD FRIEND RETURNS - Jerry Mullen says hello to Nurse Emma Nicassio in a Los Angeles hospital while a doctor takes 24 pieces of glass from his hip. A bottle of chemicals exploded in Jerry's pocket. The hospital people are his old friends, for he has been there 14 times, 5 times for dog bites, twice for monkey bites, twice for a broken arm, once when a living room mantel fell on his head. They forget what the other three visits were for.
