Sic Semper Tyrannis. That's what Booth had shouted after he had fatally shot President Abraham Lincoln on this day in 1865.
It shares another day of fatalities as this is the day of the sinking of the Titanic.
The ship hit an iceberg on April 14th near midnight and fully sank at almost 3am on the 15th.
But enough doom and gloom.
One of my favourite shows was Hamish MacBeth. Great series of crime 'whodunnit' novels by Marion Chesney, but it was adapted for TV and the aloof inspector is played by Robert Carlyle, who's birthday is today and is now 61.
