JANUARY 9, 2001
At the MacWorld Expo in San Francisco, Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs introduces the first version of iTunes digital music software. Exactly six years later, Jobs will unveil the first generation iPhone.
1768: English cavalry officer Philip Astley opens the forerunner to the modern circus in London, performing tricks on horseback around a ring. In subsequent years, Astley will found Astley's Amphitheatre and many other circuses around Europe, featuring clowns, acrobats and musicians, besides equestrian daredevils.
1956: Under the pen name Abigail Van Buren, Pauline Phillips has her first Dear Abby advice column published in the
San Francisco Chronicle; it will later be syndicated in over 1,400 newspapers. In 2002, with Phillips suffering from Alzheimer's, her daughter Jeanne will take over writing duties for Dear Abby. Phillips' sister, Esther Lederer, writes the competing Ask Ann Landers column from 1955 until her death in 2002.
