On This Date in History:

1927 – The first commercial transatlantic telephone service took place between New York and London.
1963 – The rift between Cleveland Browns owner, Art Modell, and head coach, Paul Brown, reaches a boiling point and Brown is fired.
1980 – President Jimmy Carter authorizes the $1.5 billion bailout of the Chrysler Corporation.
1999 – President Bill Clinton’s impeachment trail began today after the House voted to impeach him for lying about his affair with Monica Lewinsky.

Weird Fact:
January 7th is “I’m Not Going to Take It Anymore Day” and “National Pass Gas Day”. Paula leaves it to you to make any connection between those to facts.........
