5. Today in History: Quite an amazing day. In 1936, Jesse Owens became the first American to win four gold medals in the Berlin Summer Olympics, all under the burgeoning dictatorship of Adolf Hitler. In 1945, the US exploded a second nuclear weapon over Nagasaki, Japan killing an estimated 74,000. In 1974, Gerald Ford was sworn in as Richard Nixon resigned. And in 1995, the world said goodbye to one of its most beloved trubadors as the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia was laid to rest.
