While the War was slowly turning in favor of the Allies, The groundwork for setting up The United Nations had been established. On June 7 of 1943, President Roosevelt addressed the very first United Nations Conference on Food and Agriculture and discussed what role the allies would play in the Post-War world and the crucial importance of Food production.

Here is that address, complete as given on June 7, 1943.

While tonight's Primaries are still fresh in everyone's mind, I thought would run a quick comparison to another June Primary - June 1976. The race was between Jimmy Carter and Gov. Gerry Brown on the Democratic side and Ronald Reagan and President Ford on the Republican side.

Here is a 90 minute snapshot of Primary Night, Tuesday June 8, 1976 as reported locally in Los Angeles by CBS Radio affiliate KNX-AM with returns from Primaries all over the country.

Still a horse race. Still down to counting ballots. Still confounding the polls, thirty-six years later.

More live guest appearances. This one from 1958 and the TV Variety show The Big Record, hosted by 50's singing legend Patti Page. This performance is by Billy & Lillie who, when this broadcast was done, were burning up the charts with their debut single, La Dee Dah. Sadly, it would be their only hit single, peaking out at No. 9. Two more follow up singles failed to click and Billy & Lillie slowly faded from the scene. But at the time, La Dee Dah had hit making potential written all over it and they were doin' it live.

Some Week, the one ending on June 11th in 1989. The Pro-Democracy Protests in Beijing and the 5th Annual International Conference on AIDS held in Canada. Both yielding pessimistic results.

On the AIDS front, the statistics were grim and getting grimmer, with awareness just starting to spread. Although in many places and in many communities, the awareness came a bit late. Still, the statistics were sobering.

Dr. Jonathan Mann (WHO): “The number of people with AIDS is rising sharply. From about 70,000 from 1980 to 1985, to about 300,000 from 1986 through 1988. To an estimated 700,000 people developing AIDS in the three year period 1989 to 1991. Thus the cumulative total of AIDS is expected to double from today to the end of 1991 to over 1.1 million.”

And in China the race was on to rewrite history. With the crackdown and massacre at Tiananmen Square the government of Deng Xiao Peng claimed it never happened. There were no protests, no students, no activists. Nothing. The coverup only magnified the awful truth. As much as China was attempting a benign face, the ugly little secrets and the human rights violations were all in plain view.

All in seven days, that June of '89. Here is a recap of the week via the CBS News Program Newsmark, as it was first heard on Sunday, June 11, 1989.

(The second they landed on the Moon - this music became more obsolete than it already was)

Prior to this particular day in 1969, one of the most universal song sentiments had to do with all things Moon.

It became a cliche, it was the epitome of corn. It was quaint, from a bygone age - but it was a romantic staple in our culture. No getting around it.

The Moon and all its implications were things of wonder, things people dreamed about, something people used as a great excuse to make out to.

And it had a huge history - long before the first records were ever made, but certainly a main attraction for the record buying public.

In the early part of the 20th century, Vaudeville was the main source of outside entertainment most people had. No radio - movies were relegated to sideshow curiosities - television was the thing of science fiction.

When records became a popular form of entertainment, most vaudeville stars of the time cranked out hundreds of discs, cashing in on the new medium.

One of those acts were the duo Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth. This song "Turn Off Your light, Mister Moon Man" was a big hit in 1911 from the Musical "Little Miss Fix-it". It was almost as big as their 1908 hit "Shine On Harvest Moon", another staple of the vaudeville repertoire.

I am suspecting very few of you have actually heard any of these discs. They are crude and somewhat fossilized with time. They seem very ancient. And for being 100 years old, they actually are.

But it's always good to introduce yourself to something you're not familiar with. You can laugh, giggle and parody -but at least you get the chance to hear the actual stuff.

Besides, ignorance of your culture is considered uncool. Moon landings notwithstanding.
