The Saturday Evening Post's final issue is published in 1969.
The Post's first issue was in 1821 but the iteration we saw during much of the 20th century was published from 1897-1969. The demise of the weekly magazine happened after a defamation judgment against the publication to the tune of nearly a million dollars (about $10 million in 2023).
The magazine was eventually revamped and relaunched and is now published six times a year under a 501(c)(3) non-profit status.

The Beatles arrive in New York at Kennedy Airport to begin their first U.S. tour in 1964.
The English rock/pop band completes a brief tour in February of that year before returning in August for a 32-concert tour through the U.S. and Canada.
The year comprises additional venues in Europe, Hong Kong, and Australia before finishing with a United Kingdom autumn tour.
I found this and wanted to share:

The world loses a music legend when the plane carrying Buddy Holly, singer, and Richie Valens, guitarist, crashes in 1959.
The plane goes down near Clear Lake, Iowa. "The Big Bopper" J.P. Richardson is also lost in the catastrophe, as well as the 21-year-old pilot, Roger Peterson.
The crash has become known as The Day the Music Died, also the title of a fan-favorite song by Don McLean in 1971 about the event.
Image shows the marker along the highway where the crash happened. The marker mimics Holly's iconic black-framed glasses. Courtesy Wikipedia.org.

The Mexican War ends with the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848.
The uptake from this seminal event is that the United States now has legal possession of Texas, the New Mexico Territory, and California. Some good and some bad, say the folks from New York City!
I'm play hide and seek in my duckweed.
