On This Day
On This Day: August 14
Kurt Heintz of Encyclopædia Britannica visits August 14 through the years. Magic Johnson announces his diagnoses with HIV; the Cologne Cathedral is completed after nearly 800 years of construction; and Paul McCartney regrets giving a musical collaborator some helpful advice. Fast Facts cover the end of British rule in India and the birthday of overwrought romance novelist Danielle Steel.
