In 1793, Journalist and French revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat is assassinated in his bathtub by Charlotte Corday, a member of the opposing political faction. In 1913, Dave Garroway, American journalist and television personality (died 1982) was born. In 1977, New York City: Amidst a period of financial and social turmoil experiences an electrical blackout lasting nearly 24 hours that leads to widespread fires and looting. In 1985, The Live Aid benefit concert takes place in London and Philadelphia, as well as other venues such as Moscow and Sydney.
