Friday, April 30, 1976. The end of the Greek Language Question.

The Greek Parliament decided that the official language of Greece would be Demotic Greek, "Demotiki", the modern colloquial form of the Greek language, rather than "Katharevousa" an updated version of Ancient Greek.  The latter had been the official form.

The Greek language question (γλωσσικό ζήτημα) had been going on since the 19th Century.

The British fishing trawler Arctic Corsair rammed the Icelandic Coat Guard vessel ICGV Óðinn.

The ship continued to serve until 2006, and appears as a US vessel in Flags of our Fathers.  It's presently a museum ship.

Muhammed Ali barely clung on to his heavyweight title in a fight against Jimmy Young in Landover, Maryland.

Both boxers health declined enormously after their boxing careers, due to their boxing careers.  Young died at age 56.

SELLOUTS vs. CHAMPIONS

Protect Wyoming's list of legislators and their record on public lands:

SELLOUTS vs. CHAMPIONS

This is really worth knowing. While this is directly copying most of the page, here's what they founds:

top SELLOUTS

Note: While Senators Tim French and Laura Pearson are not up currently for re-election, they are the legislators most actively trying to privatize and sell off our wildlife. So we want folks to take note, even though they’re not on the ballot this year.

top CHAMPIONS

Note: Senator Nethercott is not up for re-election in 2026, but has been one of the most vocal defenders of sportsmen and women on the Senate floor, and deserves a spot in the Top Defenders.

FIND YOUR LEGISLATOR

 I don't know all the legislators by any means, but the antis I know are no surprise. The pros I know aren't a surprise either.  Unfortunately a couple of them are leaving the legislature.

Anyone on the anti list here should be voted out of office.
