"There Was a Rumor/About a Tumor"

Today's historical horrors: In 1966, Charles Joseph Whitman, aged 25, killed 14 people from the tower on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin, shooting them down w/ a rifle as if they were game animals. In 1944, an uprising against Nazi occupation erupted in the Warsaw ghetto. It took two months for the Nazis to suppress it. In 1936, the Berlin Olympic Games™© were opened w/ a ceremony presided over by Adolf Hitler. In a related & relevant side note, the Beijing Olympic Games©™ will open a wk. from today.
