We know how this will turn out: America will now “turn the page” after years of war and recession, President Barack Obama said in his State of the Union speech Tuesday night (Page A8).
Since the president also called for a new war authorization to fight Islamic State militants, the page apparently was marked “MORE MIDEAST WAR, next page.”
Made in the USA: Ford’s first shipment of 100 Mustangs to China is on its way. It’s the first time in the pony car’s 50-year history that it will be sold overseas.
The cars will be closely followed by a companion shipment of essential Mustang accessories, which include wife-beater T-shirts, Marlboro Reds and Lynyrd Skynyrd CDs.
Don’t know much about history: On this day in 1908, New York City officials passed an ordinance forbidding women from smoking in public establishments.
The ordinance was quickly repealed, but it would be another 12 years before the nation got rid of the law that kept women at least 25 feet away from the entrances to polling places.
