Today -100: February 9, 1922: Of radios, raids, and sex groups

Pres. Harding gets a “wireless telephone receiver” (i.e., a radio) installed in his study.

Simultaneous IRA attacks along the Northern/Southern Irish border hit 3 Northern Ireland police patrols and the houses of numerous Unionist leaders in both NI and the Irish Free State. 100 cops and Ulstermen are kidnapped, some released, some taken over the border into the Free State, presumably to be held hostage for the release of IRA prisoners held by the NI authorities.

Naughty-Sounding Headline of the Day -100:  

NY Gov. Nathan Miller still thinks the League of Women Voters shouldn’t exist.
