On this day in 1994, double agent Aldrich Ames was arrested.
Ames was CIA operative who sold secrets to the Soviet Union, including the names and identities of every US spy in Russia. Many of the agents were picked up and sent to gulags and at least ten of them were simply killed.
Also on this day, 1942, President Roosevelt ordered MacArthur out of the Philippines.
In other historic news, Disney’s Cinderella opened in theaters across America on this day in 1950. I don’t know why so many people hate the Disney Company. Does it have to do with Uncle Remus?
