Mr. T. on how he chose his name: I think about my father being called "boy", my uncle being called "boy", my brother, coming back from Vietnam and being called "boy". So I questioned myself: "What does a black man have to do before he's given respect as a man?" So when I was 18 years old, when I was old enough to fight and die for my country, old enough to drink, old enough to vote, I said I was old enough to be called a man. I self-ordained myself Mr. T, so the first word out of everybody's mouth is "Mr.""

In 1986, nurse Sandra Clarke couldn't stay with a terminal patient who asked her to stay. When she returned, the patient had passed alone. Inspired by this, she started No One Dies Alone in 2001, a volunteer program ensuring terminal patients have company during their final moments.

Every year since taking power, Adolf Hitler gave a speech at the Munich Beer Hall. In November 1939, just after invading Poland, he did so again. Among those watching was a German carpenter named Georg Elser. Hidden in a nearby pillar above Hitler was a bomb Elser had carefully planted. Elser had spent over a month preparing, knowing exactly where Hitler would stand from previous speeches. Each evening, he secretly worked on hollowing out the pillar to place the bomb, hiding the debris in a suitcase, and leaving unnoticed with the workers each morning. The bomb's timer was set to go off as Hitler’s speech ended. However, on the day of the speech, Hitler finished earlier than usual and left the hall. Thirteen minutes later, the bomb exploded, destroying the pillar and bringing down part of the ceiling—right where Hitler had stood. If not for his early departure, history might have taken a very different turn.
