WHAT HAPPENED TODAY:
1998: On this day, during the grand jury hearings that sought to clarify President Bill Clinton’s relationship with Monica Lewinsky, Clinton engaged in some semantic fine-tuning by stating: “It depends on what your meaning of ‘is’ is. If ‘is’ means ‘is and never has been’ that’s one thing — if it means ‘there is none,’ that was a completely true statement.” Clinton also parsed the meanings of “alone,” “sexual relations” and “sex.” His testimony was later televised to the nation on September 21.
2000: Police awakened and arrested a 21-year-old burglar found sleeping in the bedroom of a home in Bridgton, Maine, after a neighbor reported a strange car in the driveway. The burglar said he was tired and just decided to take a nap.
2020: A 95-year-old California man known to neighbors as “Bicycle Bob” was treated to a celebration after he logged his 100,000th mile of cycling. Bob Mettauer said he took up cycling when he retired in the 1990s.
