Today we explore Napoleon’s costly victory at Borodino, discover the crushing terms of the Boxer Protocol, and revisit the Atlantic City promotion that became Miss America.
Along the way, we celebrate the birthday of Buddy Holly, the rock-and-roll pioneer whose famous name began with a misspelled recording contract.
History loves a tidy label, even when the truth behind it is anything but tidy.
