Is Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith more than trivia? Last descendant of Lincoln, yadda yadda yadda... The man is of no interest as far as I can see. I will remove him if no-one protests here within a week or so. Greswik 17:29, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

1979

There appears to be some dispute over whether the Soviets invaded Afghanistan on Dec 23 or 24. The first launch of the Europe rocket or whatever is correct on December 23 1979. And the Soviet invasion is listed on the December 23 page while on its own page Soviet war in Afghanistan it has December 24. EdEColbert⁰⁵⁸⁵ 04:51, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Actually, the Soviet War in Afghanistan lists it as Dec 27. EdEColbert⁰⁵⁸⁵ 04:56, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
