Kurt Heintz of Encyclopædia Britannica explores the complicated events of the Watts Rebellion of 1965, one of many active responses to police brutality and racism in the United States. Plus, the art of Jackson Pollock and a labour strike within the Major League Baseball Players Association that led to many a player wishing they always had the summer off. Fast Facts highlight the first civilian prisoners of Alcatraz and a few celebrity birthdays.
