An article in the February 23, 1997, edition of The Washington Post said that Bell was currently America's highest-rated late-night radio talk show host, broadcast on 328 stations. According to The Oregonian in its June 22, 1997, edition, Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell was on 460 stations. At its initial peak in popularity, Coast to Coast AM was syndicated on more than 500 radio stations and claimed 15 million listeners nightly. Bell's studios were located in his home in the town of Pahrump, located in Nye County, Nevada; hence, the voice-over catchphrase, "from the Kingdom of Nye".
This will set the mood...
April 16, 1912: US pilot Harriet Quimby, born May 11, 1875 in Michigan became the first woman to receive a pilot's license in the USA on August 1, 1911 and first woman pilot to fly across the English Channel. Her achievement received little media attention as the sinking of the Titanic ocean liner the day before dominated the newspapers.
On July 1, 1912, Quimby flew in the Third Annual Boston Aviation Meet at Squantum, Massachusetts. William A. P. Willard, the event organizer and father of aviator Charles F. Willard, was a passenger in her brand-new two-seat Bleriot monoplane. At an altitude of 1,000 feet, the aircraft unexpectedly pitched forward, for reasons unknown. Willard was ejected. The airplane flipped over and Quimby was also ejected; both fell to their deaths, while the plane "glided down and lodged itself in the mud". Ironically, less than a month before her death, Quimby had written about the development of a harness designed to prevent pilots from falling out of their aircraft.
One woman whom Quimby inspired was Amelia Earhart. As Earhart would say about her personal hero: "To cross the Channel in 1912 required more bravery and skill than to cross the Atlantic today…we must remember that, in thinking of America's first great woman flier's accomplishment." For Earhart and other women, Quimby was a pioneer who helped overturn stereotypes about women's roles in society, and who made it possible for them to achieve their dreams.

April 16, 1939: Dusty Springfield (Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien) was born in London. The name "Dusty" was given to her when she was a child, as she had been a tomboy in her early years. She’s regarded as one of the best pop vocalists of all time. Her heyday was the 1960s when she was also a style icon. Her make up and peroxide blonde bouffant/beehive hairstyles and heavily mascara'd "panda" eyes were widely copied by young women in Britain and the USA. Nicknamed the White Queen of Soul. Quentin Tarantino caused a revival of interest in her music in 1994 by including "Son of a Preacher Man" on the Pulp Fiction soundtrack, which sold over three million copies.

Quote:AUTHOR: Bernard Mannes Baruch (1870–1965)
QUOTATION:
Let us not be deceived—we are today in the midst of a cold war. Our enemies are to be found abroad and at home. Let us never forget this: Our unrest is the heart of their success. The peace of the world is the hope and the goal of our political system; it is the despair and defeat of those who stand against us.
ATTRIBUTION: BERNARD M. BARUCH, address at the unveiling of his portrait in the South Carolina legislature, Columbia, South Carolina, April 16, 1947.—Journal of the House of Representatives of the First Session of the 87th General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, p. 1085.
The phrase “cold war” was coined by Herbert Bayard Swope, who occasionally wrote speeches for Baruch, and was first used in this speech. It was popularized by, and sometimes mistakenly attributed to, columnist Walter Lippmann, whose 1947 book was titled The Cold War.
Baruch used the phrase again on October 24, 1947—“Although the shooting war is over, we are in the midst of a cold war which is getting warmer”—in testimony before the Senate’s Special Committee Investigating the National Defense Program, part 42, p. 25740 (1948). William Safire, Safire’s Political Dictionary, pp. 127–29 (1978), gives an extensive account of the coinage and use of this term, though the date for Baruch’s testimony is given there as 1948.
