Lots of comparisons to Saigon this morning.
Here are some data points regarding the two-day evacuation there, on April 29-30, 1975, extracted from a CIA report.
North Vietnamese began their main attack on Saigon on April 27, hitting Saigon for the first time since 1973.
South Vietnam's president's call for a cease-fire/peace talks were rejected. South Vietnamese military leadership left their commands. Many committed suicide.
A group of defecting South Vietnamese Air Force pilots dropped six bombs on the Air Base intended as the major evacuation point. Several U.S. aircraft were destroyed and the runway received heavy damage.

This is Pogue's department store in downtown Cincinnati, in 1916.

The store was started in 1863 by the Pogue brothers and was a fixture of Cincinnati life for more than 100 years.

Vaudeville star Trixie Friganza once sold handkerchiefs there for $4.50/week.

This is Adolph Zukor, one of the 3 founders of Paramount Pictures. Zukor established the major studio practice of requiring movie theatres to show large blocks of films, including bad ones, in order to obtain the right to show the good ones. This system was called blind booking. Image
When senators got their feelings hurt over their portrayal in Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, they passed legislation aimed at eliminating the blind booking arrangement in retaliation against Hollywood. Image
It is hard for many of us to grasp it now, but in 1939, some people were concerned that Frank Capra's classic film (and Jimmy Stewart's stunning performance) posed a threat to American democracy. Image

An excerpt from our newsletter:
