Khrushchev in Pittsburgh?

You can read an interesting story in the Post Gazette about Nikita Khrushchev visiting Pittsburgh in 1959. The story is linked here.



What in particular made Khrushchev want to visit Pittsburgh?

Today, of course, we took the 80-point Cold War Unit Exam. If you were absent only today, you will have to make up the test tomorrow (Friday) during class. The substitute teacher will have your name and blank test.

For those of you who took the test already, tomorrow you will be watching a classic HBO production about veterans' experiences in Vietnam called Dear America: Letters Home From Vietnam. We will discuss the Emmy award-winning show after our current events quiz on Monday.

I hope you all have a safe and wonderful weekend. Don't forget that if you post a news article as a comment in this blog entry, you may earn bonus points if I use it in the quiz!
