The Morning Mail – Feb 25, 2023

On this day in 1862, the first fiat paper money became legal tender in America after the Legal Tender Act was passed. The Dalai Lama fled Tibet for British India to escape Chinese troops. And Nikita Khrushchev denounced Joseph Stalin in 1956.

In 1950 “Your Show of Shows” with Sid Caesar & Imogene Coca premiered on NBC, and in 1957 Buddy Holly and the Crickets recorded their smash hit “That’ll Be the Day” in Clovis, New Mexico.

It’s international sword swallowers day, chocolate covered nut day, pistol patent day, and if you are named Billy, Jessica, Kathy, or Nicholas, Feb 25th is your day too. But don’t get too rowdy; it’s also “Quiet day.”

Feb 25 also “commemorates the Soviet Red Army “Occupation” of Georgia in 1921.
