SMALL TALK
ON THIS DATE: In 1862, the Medal of Honor, awarded for battlefield bravery, was created for the U.S. Army. In 1904, Chilean poet, diplomat, politician and the winner of the 1971 Nobel Prize for Literature, Pablo Neruda, was born in Parral. In 1957, the U.S. surgeon general, Leroy E. Burney, reported that there was a direct link between smoking and lung cancer. In 1962, British rock band the Rolling Stones performed their first show, billed as the Rollin’ Stones, at a club in London. In 1976, the television game show Family Feud began airing on ABC and the show has continued—with different hosts, including Steve Harvey—into the 21st century. In 1979, between games of a baseball doubleheader involving the Chicago White Sox and the Detroit Tigers at Comiskey Park, disco records were blown up as part of a promotion dubbed Disco Demolition Night; fans subsequently rushed the field, and, because of the ensuing mayhem, the second game was forfeited to the Tigers. In 1984, Walter Mondale, the leading Democratic presidential candidate, announced that he had chosen Representative Geraldine Ferraro of New York as his running mate.
