June 28 —Heads Up!
Henry VIII came into the world on June 28, 1509, and
before long, women were losing their heads over
him, as he discarded one wife after another in an
attempt to gam an heir. The Church of England was not
amused. Three centuries later, James Madison, fourth
■ident of the United States, died on
is day in 1836, as did Mana Mitchell,
imerica’s first female astronomer, in
1889. In 1914, two June 28 deaths
prompted a world war, when heir to
the Austrian throne. Archduke
Ferdinand, and his wife, Sonja, were
assassinated in Sarajevo. The result
ing conflict with Serbia eventually
led to World War I. On a lighter note,
actor Mel Brooks (bom in 1926) and comedienne Gilda
Radner (born in 1946) share this same birthday.
