On
a March 20: 2004 At 10:44, demonstrators Harry Westaway (L) and Simon Westaway (R) from Greenpeace hold TIME FOR TRUTH banners below the clock face on London's Big Ben clock tower in Parliament Square. They scaled the tower to the clock face, 100 meters above London, ahead of a protest demonstration starting at 12:00 to mark the first anniversary of the launching of the war of aggression against Iraq's dictator Saddam Hussein by conniving USurper “Dubya” Bush and his lapdog, British Prime Minister Blair. The two climbers rappel down from the clockface six hours later. They are arrested “on suspicion of causing criminal damage” (whatever that might be, it is insignificant compared to the thousands of deaths and billions of dollars in damages caused by Bush and Blair). Thousands had gathered in London for a peace march, one of many taking place across Asia, Europe and the United States the war and the ensuing disartrous military occupation of Iraq. In London, protesters carried "Wanted" posters bearing the faces of Blair and Bush, and banners reading "Make tea, not war." People playing the part of weapons inspectors carried an inflatable nuclear missile to highlight the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and Britain's retention of a nuclear deterrent. Hundreds of black balloons were released in memory of those who died in Iraq and (on 11 March 2004) in Madrid. The march was organized jointly by Greenpeace and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) under the motto: “No More War ! No More Lies ! End the Occupation of Iraq !”. 2004 Taiwan's President Chen Shui-bian “A-bian”, 53, and Vice President Annette Lu, both of the Democratic Progressive Party, are reelected with 50.1% of the votes cast by the 80% of the electorate that voted [< the two, celebrating, behind bullet-proof glass]. The previous day, at midday, the two were riding in an open Jeep in Tainan, when a bullet wounded Chen in the abdomen and another bullet wounded Lu in the knee. Whoever shot at them was not caught. The opposition Nationalist Party suggests that the attack was a fake intended to gain sympathy votes, and its presidential candidate, Lien Chan, 67, demands the annulation of the vote (of which he got 49.9%). Lien is gratified however by the success of his call to boycott as illegal a referendum conducted at the same time as the election: it ends up invalid because less than 50% (45% in fact) of eligible voters participated in it, 92% of those voting answering "yes" to both questions: Should Taiwan's defenses be strengthened if China refuses to redeploy hundreds of missiles pointed at it?; Should Taiwan seek talks with China about setting up a new "peace and stability framework."? Former political science professor Lien, who belongs to one of Taiwan's richest families, served as an ambassador, foreign minister, premier, and vice president in the former Nationalist government. Chen grew up in a poor village and graduated from Taiwan's top law school. He got into politics by defending dissidents during the Nationalists' martial law era, which ended in 1987. He has been a legislator and Taipei mayor. Neither candidate favors immediate unification with China, and both deeply distrust its Communist leadership. But Chen has been more aggressive in pushing for a Taiwanese identity separate from China, raising tensions with the Beijing regime. 2003 The previous evening, NDCHealth (NDC) forecast lower than expected earnings for 2003 and announced that for the quarter ended on 28 Feb 2003 it had losses of $0.11 per share (in the same quarter a year earlier they had earnings of $0.31 per share). NDC is downgraded by Bear Sterns from Peer Perform to Underperform. On the New York Stock Exchange, 7.4 million of the 35 million NDC shares are traded, dropping from their previous close of $22.48 to an intraday low of $14.47 and closing at $15.05. They had traded as low as $10.90 as recently as 07 October 2003; and as high as $38.66 on 27 August 2001. [5~year price chart >] NDC is a network-based company that provides healthcare information services to pharmacies, physicians, payers and pharmaceutical manufacturers. 2003 Ordered, in defiance of world public opinion and of the majority of the [dis]United Nations, by the regime of US usurper-President “Dubya” Bush, a full-scale war “of liberation of the Iraqi people” against the regime of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, starts with an attack by guided bombs from F~117A stealth fighters and some 40 US cruise missiles which explode in Baghdad starting at 05:35 (02:35 UT), targeting Hussein in a bunker where he is thought to be holding a top-level meeting. In the following days Hussein does not reappear, other than in three possibly pre-recorded or impersonated videotaped addresses on TV (20 March, 24 March, 04 April). But neither does the Iraqi military conduct a coup against his regime or surrender in large numbers. 2002 The stock of Collateral Therapeutics Inc. (CLTX) rises 104% on the NASDAQ, from the previous close of $5.09 to close at $10.37, while the company is still losing money. It had traded as low as $2.81 on 21 Sep 2001, and as high as $44.38 on 21 February 2000.

The Vatican responds to the National Catholic Reporter 16 March cover story which says that sexual abuse of nuns by priests especially in AIDS-ravaged Africa is a serious problem, which article was taken up in La Reppublica of 20 March: In relazione a notizie di casi di abusi sessuali subiti da religiose da parte di sacerdoti o missionari, il Direttore della Sala Stampa della Santa Sede, Dr. Joaquín Navarro-Valls, ha rilasciato questa mattina la seguente dichiarazione: Il problema è conosciuto, ed è ristretto ad un’area geografica delimitata. La Santa Sede sta trattando la questione in collaborazione con i Vescovi, con l’Unione Superiori Generali (USG) e con l’Unione Internazionale Superiore Generali (UISG). Si lavora sul doppio versante della formazione delle persone e della soluzione dei casi singoli. Alcune situazioni negative non possono far dimenticare la fedeltà spesso eroica della stragrande maggioranza di religiosi, religiose e sacerdoti. (NCR comment: The statement did not specify what geographic area is involved nor what was being done to deal with the problem.) 2001 Stock of the semiconductor company Flextronics International (FLEX on NASDAQ) drops $4.38 to close at $19.00, having traded as low as $18.19 during the day, its lowest since 1999. [5-year stock price graph >]. On 20 March 2002 it would close at $16.61, after having traded as low as $12.38 on 04 April 2001, and as high as $ 33.09 on 21 May 2001. On 20 March 2003 it would close at $9.49, having traded as high as $18.98 on 01 April 2002 and as low as $5.47 on 09 October 2002. 2000 El programa europeo "Levántate y anda", encaminado a devolver la movilidad a parapléjicos, presenta sus primeros resultados con una demostración pública en la que tres minusválidos, a los que se les había implantado un mecanismo de electroestimulación, ponen en movimiento sus miembros. 2000 Former Black Panther Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, 56, once known as H. Rap Brown, is captured in Alabama; he was wanted in the 16 March 2000 fatal shooting of sheriff's deputy Ricky Kinchen. Al-Amin maintains his innocence.

Deaths
which occurred on a March 20: 2004 Juliana Louise Emma Marie Wilhelmina of the Netherlands [< photos >], of pneumonia (also apparently Alzheimer since at least 2001), born on 30 April 1909, former queen (04 Sep 1948 - 30 Apr 1980) who took the title of Princess after abdicating in favor of her daughter Beatrix [31 Jan 1938~]. Juliana and her husband, Prince Bernhard [29 Jun 1911~], a German, and their two oldest daughters, then infants, were forced to flee in a truck, then by ship, to England after the Nazi army treacherously invaded The Netherlands on 10 May 1940, when her mother Wilhelmina [31 Aug 1880 – 28 Nov 1962; queen 23 Nov 1890 - 04 Sep 1948] was still queen. The family spent much of the war in Canada and returned to a devastated, impoverished country at the end of the war. Among her first acts as a young queen was not only overseeing reconstruction at home, but also dealing with conflicts in the Dutch colony of Indonesia. She handed back sovereignty to the Indonesians on 27 December 1949. On 18 February 1947, Marijke Christina, her youngest daughter, was born almost blind. Juliana blamed herself because she had contracted German measles just before giving birth. With doctors saying they could do little, she turned to a faith healer. Her close relationship with Greet Hofmans [23 Jun 1894 – 16 Nov 1968], the healer — who was a militant pacifist and had a penchant for the occult — became a scandal and nearly led to the breakup of the royal marriage. The prince contended that the healer had a dangerous influence on his wife and, after a political furor, ensured that all contacts between the two women were broken. Queen Juliana, in turn, stood by her husband during several scandals in which he was involved. Prince Bernhard was often linked to extramarital relationships, which were treated as a public secret within the royal family and in some of the Dutch and European press. But the greater upset to her reign occurred in 1976, when the government disclosed that Prince Bernhard was involved in a bribery scandal and had accepted "dishonorable offers and favors" from the Lockheed Corp., which was eager to sell aircraft to the Dutch military. The prince, by many accounts, was spared criminal prosecution because of public sympathy for Queen Juliana's plight. The distraught queen privately told the government she would abdicate. Fearing a constitutional crisis and a public outcry, the government merely stripped the prince of his military, charitable and diplomatic tasks. [brief illustrated biography] [06 Sep 1948 Time cover] 2004 Fatma al-Jaled, 8, Palestinian girl, of wounds sustained from alleged “warning shots” fired by Israeli troops in the Gaza Strip refugee camp of Khan Yunis a day earlier. 2003 Keith Bernard Clay, 35, by lethal injection in Texas, for killing convenience store clerk Melathethil Tom Varughese during a 04 January 1994 robbery in Baytown, near Houston.

The gunman then fires repeatedly through a slot in the Plexiglas security window at the counter, critically injuring with 3 bullets another worker, Yakoob Aldailam, 20, nephew of the owner. The gunman leaves without trying to rob the store, whose security cameras had stopped working a month earlier. After Larme Price, 30, admits on the phone to the police that he committed this and 3 previous similar murders (John Freddy and Sukhjit Khajala on 08 February 2003, and Albert Kotlyar on 10 March 2003) out of anger about the 11 September 2001 attack on the World Trade Center, he is arrested on 29 March 2003. 2002 Elizabeth Betty Wettermark Carlson, 87.

1852
Uncle Tom's Cabin's is published.
^top^ American abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe, 40, publishes her classic antislavery novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin. The controversy it kindled helped lead to the American Civil War, nine years later. Harriet Elizabeth Beecher was born on 14 June 1811 in Litchfield, Connecticut, the seventh child of Congregationalist minister Lyman Beecher. Stowe studied at private schools in Connecticut and worked as a teacher in Hartford for five years until her father moved to Cincinnati in 1832. She accompanied him and continued to teach while writing stories and essays. In 1836, she married Calvin Ellis Stowe, with whom she had seven children. In 1843 she published her first book, The Mayflower; or, Sketches of Scenes and Characters Among the Descendants of the Pilgrims. While living in Cincinnati, Stowe encountered fugitive slaves and the Underground Railroad. In reaction to recently tightened fugitive laws, she wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly which, on 5 June 1851, began to appear in serial form in the Washington National Era, an abolitionist weekly. Harriet Beecher Stowe's anti-slavery story would be published in forty installments over the next ten months. For her story Mrs. Stowe was paid $300. Although the weekly had a limited circulation, its audience increased as reader after reader passed their copy along to another. In March 1852, a Boston publisher decided to issue Uncle Tom's Cabin as a book and it became an instant best-seller. Three hundred thousand copies were sold the first year, and about two million copies were sold worldwide by 1857. For one three-month period Stowe reportedly received $10'000 in royalties. Across the nation people discussed the novel and hotly debated the most pressing socio-political issue dramatized in its narrative, slavery. Stowe traveled to England in 1853, where she was welcomed as a literary hero. Along with Ralph Waldo Emerson, she became one of the original contributors to The Atlantic, which launched in November 1857. In 1863, when Lincoln announced the end of slavery (though in the rebel states only), she danced in the streets. Stowe continued to write throughout her life. In 1853, she published The Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin, a compilation of documents and testimonies in support of disputed details of her indictment of slavery. In 1856 she published Dred: A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp, in which she depicted the deterioration of a society resting on a slave basis. Later she wrote novels, of which The Minister's Wooing (1859) is the best known. Stowe died on 01 July 1896. |
