Wholesome overheard NYC 

Overhearing this older white Brooklyn guy opthalmologist speaking OK Spanish with a patient and then demonstrating a pretty impressive knowledge of Ecuadorian cities when she tells him she's Ecuadorian (he identified her hometown as the third largest city there).

Today in labor History January 17, 1961: Patrice Lumumba, anti-colonial fighter and former premier of the newly independent Republic of the Congo, was assassinated with the complicity of the CIA. President Eisenhower authorized an assassination in 1960, because of Lumumba’s ties with the Soviet Union. CIA chemist Sidney Gottlieb planned to kill him with poisoned toothpaste. Gottlieb was the main scientist behind the CIA’s MKUltra program, which did illegal human mind control experiments using drugs, like LSD, without the victim’s knowledge or consent. He was also involved in numerous assassinations.
