"My only regret is that I have but one life to give for my country"

Nathan Hale was executed on this day in 1776 by the British for spying for the United States.

There is a memorial of him at Yale University, at his old dormitory, that the public is not allowed to have access too. Since I used to work there in the summers (Yale is five minutes away from me), I got to see it, and it is very cool.

He's Connecticut's official state hero!

ShrinkingViolet I applaud you for working from memory as I'm sure many will take the easy route (casts an accusatory glance towards Cobalt) but that isn't quite correct, beauteous Raven.

Lynnette "Squeaky" Fromme IS the name of the assassin from the bonus question, though! You were definitely in the ballpark, if not inches from the dugout!

On a side note... I wonder why they called her Squeaky. ShrinkingViolet

There was no googling wink . I just happen to have been brushing up on my Revolutionary history these last few years...

"Squeaky" was one of Charles Manson's mainstay members of the Manson family, and one of the few that didn't ever get to go to jail. Until of course, she attempted to assassinate the president. Some say it was on her own accord (most likely), but it was definately to usher in the new age that Charlie Manson convinced her of half a decade earlier.

She has her own website, which is pretty creepy too. (I've always been fascinated by Manson and other seriel killers, it used to be a hobby of mine to read up on them).

Can't say I know the answer to the first question though without doing a google check.

I believe the second assassin (today's) was Sara Jane (or Jean) Moore.

In one of the attempts, the man who stopped the assassin, was later outed as being gay by the mainstream media.

1975

And Squeaky got her knickname when the old man who owned the ranch the Family took over, George Spahn I think was his name, gave it to her. He took a liking to her and would try to grope her when he could. When he did, she would 'squeak'.

PhantomGirl Perhaps, but the clue says "re-established."

And since it's the 24th now and I should post a new clue I'll go ahead and answer it.

The year was 1943. PhantomGirl

Oh. I thought the "re-established" referred to the fact that Mussolini claimed to be re-establishing the Roman Republic, complete with its symbol, the fasces. I guess the "Northern Italy" part should have clued me in, though.

Sorry to keep guessing the year, but I'm bad at the year portion.

I'd guess 1965 as the year

The title was The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle

PhantomGirl Condolences, biZARRO! You were incorrect about the title but, happily, you were correct about the year.
(In non-Bizarro - the title is correct, but not the year)

Perhaps 1959 is the year that the show debuted on ABC, but I'm asking for the later year in which it debuted on NBC.

Me am tricky tongue PhantomGirl

I would guess that the album was "Ringo" and that the Beatle who received the star was Ringo himself. (He was the only one who pursued an acting career.)

Can anyone pose a question? If so, here's mine:

On this day in 1947, one of Britain's premier glam rock stars was born.

Who is he and what eventually became of him?
