    George Wallace was shot on May 15, 1972 after campaigning in Laurel, Maryland. The segregationist Alabama Governor won both the Michigan and Maryland primaries the week he was shot.

    All the Wallace Democrats in the north became Reagan Democrats, and now Trumpers. He might have won Ohio too, but failed to follow procedure to get on the ballot.

    In the aggregate, he lost the 1972 primary by only 2.3% of all ballots cast nationwide.

    If anyone thinks the Democratic Party is dysfunctional now, it had an avowed racist nearly win the nomination 50 years ago, but instead a left wing anti-war candidate won, then lost the general election in a 520-17 electoral route.

    Jefferson Cowie has a good book that grapples with some of this (Stayin' Alive). '72 is widely considered to be the moment when the New Deal order irreparably shattered. It's significant that Wallace gained traction up north not by advancing Jim Crow segregationist policies, but by emphasizing the ways in which liberal policies were "eroding" individual liberties (busing being a particularly contentious issue). Jim Crow was of course baked into that rhetoric, but it was offered in a much more palatable package for working-class whites

    My grandfather was a union guy very involved in Democratic politics along the river in Eastern Ohio. He always said Wallace was the worst thing that happened to the party because he made that conservative and racist brand of populism acceptable to the union rank and file. Then they all went to Reagan when the Teamsters endorsed him.

    During this week in 1975, Jaws mania hit. The movie was released on 6/20/75, but it saw a 53% increase week over week from 7/11 - 7/18 and did over $20 million that week.

    At the time, it was the highest grossing movie ever released.

    The original Shark Week.

    All gold medal winners in the 1936 Olympics were given an English Oak sapling (because Hitler wanted to subtly assure London he only wanted the continent).

    Jesse Owens gave one to his 4 x 100 team mate. He planted on of them at his high school, gave one to his sister.

    He has his last one planted on the South side of the OSU library, now 85 years old.

    Has anyone watched the BBC documentary about Ben Johnson. It’s comically obvious how Lewis was doping as much if not more than Ben Johnson.

    I have not. The testing procedures were chaos back in that era.

    Ohio State’s Butch Reynolds set the 400 world record in 1988, then got banned in 1990, but got the ban reversed when it was discovered that the positive test was not even his blood type and obviously not his sample.
