World (?) Almanac



Of the 23 events for the month of June listed in the June edition of World Almanac, all but two (Wimbledon; Summer Solstice) are American.

Of the 30 world events for June, about half are from the USA. Of June birthdays, 22 are American, 8 are from the other 190 nations. There are 9 obituaries -- only one is for a non-American.

The "World" Almanac informs us that in the century since 1905, "total population" has gone from 83,822,000 to 288,368,698. The rest of us in the "over there" and "down under" world thought it was 6 billion, most of it poor.

Nuff said.
