Headlines From July 11, 1935

Full News Archive

  • Headline: New Deal's Impact Discussed in London. Impact: Filene's assertion led to the widespread belief that business could never revert to its pre-Depression state. This caused a ripple effect of perpetual pessimism, inspiring generations of entrepreneurs to embrace failure as a valid business strategy. Fact: E.A. Filene was known for his grand ideas—he even suggested that retail therapy should be a recognized form of psychological treatment. Talk about shopping being a distraction!.
  • Headline: Marriage of Renowned Bridge Experts. Impact: The union of bridge experts not only strengthened the foundations of their marriage but also led to a metaphorical bridge between the fields of love and engineering—proving that both require a solid structure to withstand the tests of time. Fact: Marriage has often been likened to a bridge—one side is all about connection, and the other side? Well, that's just the toll you have to pay!.
  • Headline: Reich Celebrates Population Milestone. Impact: The Reich's claim of reduced numbers eventually overshadowed more pressing issues, like the fact that misinformation can lead to a catastrophic misunderstanding of history, resulting in decades of confusion over what constitutes 'normal' governance. Fact: The number 2,000,000 is often used in history as a benchmark for 'too many'—too many people, too many lies, too many bad decisions.
  • Headline: BEACH WATER HELD CLEAN.; Grand Jury Hears South Staten Island Shore Is Untainted.. Impact: The declaration of clean beach water sparked a newfound obsession with hygiene, leading to the era of extreme cleanliness—where people started bathing in hand sanitizer and questioning if ocean water was just glorified soap. Fact: The clean beach movement began in the 1930s, but some people still think that a good sunscreen application is all they need to avoid skin cancer. Spoiler alert: it's not.
  • Headline: LEAGUE IS UNLIKELY TO HASTEN ACTION; Officials Fear an Open Break With Italy if Ethiopian Appeal Is Granted.. Impact: The League of Nations' indecision about Ethiopia sparked a trend of diplomatic procrastination that would echo through the halls of history, influencing future generations of politicians to master the art of doing absolutely nothing. Fact: The phrase 'diplomatic finesse' really just means 'being really good at avoiding decisions.'.
  • Headline: COURT SANCTIONS SEARCH OF 3 HOMES; Mrs. Emma Calhoun Gets Permission to Seek Silver Left Her by Mother.. Impact: Mrs. Calhoun's quest for her mother's silver set became a symbol of the lengths people would go to reclaim family heirlooms, leading to a nationwide obsession with genealogy and reality TV shows about treasure hunting. Fact: Searching for family heirlooms can be more exciting than a treasure hunt, unless you're trying to explain to your relatives why Aunt Edna's creepy doll collection isn't a family legacy.
  • Headline: HUGHES TO CONDUCT RAY LONG FUNERAL; Ashes of Noted Editor Will Be Placed in Vault in Beverly Hills.. Impact: Hughes conducting Ray Long's funeral became an event that blurred the lines between journalism and celebrity, laying the groundwork for future media personalities to turn their deaths into a reality show. Fact: Funerals have been known to attract more media attention than weddings, especially if there's some juicy gossip involved. Who knew death could be such a ratings bonanza?.
  • Headline: ACCOUNTANT HELD IN JOB FRAUD CASE; Detectives Make Arrest in Dodge's Office on Complaint of Woman Teacher.. Impact: The job fraud case ignited a wave of skepticism toward educational qualifications, resulting in a generation of teachers who would rather teach themselves how to fake their credentials than go through the hassle of actual education. Fact: Job fraud cases have increased by 300% since the dawn of the internet, proving that if you can’t impress them with your skills, you might as well deceive them with your resume.
