Brooklyn Today
Greetings, Brooklyn. Today is the 341st day of the year.
On this day in 1950, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle front page reported that British Prime Minister Clement R. Atlee visited President Harry S. Truman in Washington for talks on how to strengthen U.S.-Anglo relations amid brewing international troubles such as the Korean conflict and the spread of communism. The two leaders believed that the Soviet Union was trying to damage U.S.-British relations. Atlee told reporters that the Soviets were “wasting time” in such divisiveness.
