On June 22:

Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh
1932 English Actress Prunella Scales was born.
1969 The Cuyahoga River in north east Ohio caught fire, leading to a crack-down on pollution and providing impetus for the environmental movement.


It is a date of ill omen.
Two other anniversaries: Hitler invading Russia in 1941; and Muldoon imposing the wage/price freeze in 1982.
Didn’t know it was also Prunella Scales’ birthday. She’s brilliant. As good as Judi Dench.
