1959 Raymond Burr won the Emmy for Best Actor in a Dramatic Series, for his role as Perry Mason, in which he played a crime-solving attorney. The popular show, which debuted in 1957, ran for nine years. Derived from mystery novels by Erle Stanley Gardner, the character of Perry Mason had made his radio debut in 1943 and the show continued until 1955. The sleuthing Perry Mason character was revived in a series of TV movies from 1985 to 1993

My three older girls are now hooked on Perry mason. Amy is the only one who is not interested. She likes romance stuff.

1994 Queen Elizabeth and French President François Mitterrand attended ceremonies in Calais, France, officially opening a rail tunnel connecting Britain and the European mainland for the first time since the Ice Age. The channel tunnel, or "Chunnel," connects Folkestone, England, with Sangatte, France, 31 miles away.

You couldn't get me in that thing for love or money.
