French volunteers fighting for the Kataeb Party during the Lebanese Civil War. Also known as the Phalangists, the Kataeb is (they're still around!) a right-wing Christian political party. During the 1982 war, Phalangist militiamen committed the infamous Sabra and Shatilla massacre with support from the IDF, as well as the Black Saturday massacre, the Tel al-Zaatar massacre, Ehden massacre, and the Karantina massacre, some of the worst instances of mass killing committed during the Lebanese Civil War.

On the 23rd of November 1966, stagnant air trapped toxic smog over New York City for three days, killing 168 people. High levels of carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide caused stinging eyes, coughing, and respiratory distress. Relief came on Nov. 26 when a cold front dispersed the smog.

This led to the 1970's Clean Air Act

Las Vegas Creek at Las Vegas Ranch, early 1900s

The creek flowed from the springs. The site was established and occupied by Mormon missionaries from 1855-1858, and it was transformed into the Las Vegas Ranch by the community’s early founders. Helen Stewart sold the ranch and water rights to U.S. Senator Wm. Clark of Montana, who built the railroad to Las Vegas. The undated of these photos could have been taken late in the ranch period circa 1902, or early in the railroad period circa 1903-1905.
