Today is the Boogie Mans birthday, aka Nikita Khrushchev, born Apr. 15, 1894 in the Russian village of Kalinovka, close to the present-day border between Russia and the Ukraine. For those of us old enough to remember, Khrushchev was the scary face of the Soviet Union, who said Communism would bury us. He pounded his shoe on the podium during a United Nations speech in 1960, debated Vice President Richard Nixon in Moscow in 1959, and toured the U.S. that same year, visiting farmers in Iowa and movie stars in Los Angeles, where he went ballistic because Disneyland was off-limits to him. He was considered too big a security risk. https://youtube/watch?v=NQ0LumyP4Ko
