Today -100: July 11, 1921: Of bloody Sundays and ice cream sodas

15 people are killed in rioting in Belfast, which is how the Irish celebrate a cease-fire. Throughout Ireland there are many incidents of violence, arson, shooting cops, etc in advance of the truce coming into effect in a day that will be called “Bloody Sunday.” Not the first “Bloody Sunday” in Irish history, and not the last.

The NYT thinks Ivanoe Bonomi’s new coalition government in Italy won’t last very long.

Boys in the Bronx have been demonstrating for cheaper ice cream sodas.

Now I want an ice cream soda.
