    Bubble Boy (David Vetter)

    Born September 21, 1971 d. 1984

    He spent most of his life inside a protective bubble due to a severe immune deficiency. The film The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976, starring John Travolta) was inspired by the lives of him and Ted DeVita, who lived most of his life in a sterile hospital room. The only treatment at the time was a bone marrow transplant or complete isolation from germs. At 12 years old Vetter was finally able to receive a bone marrow transplant from his sister. The transplant worked and he was able to leave his bubble and kiss his mother for the first time in his life. However, shortly thereafter, he became ill with infectious mononucleosis and died from lymphoma. The autopsy revealed that his sister's bone marrow contained traces of a dormant virus, Epstein-Barr, which had been undetectable in the pre-transplant screening.

    1980 Chevy Chase calls Cary Grant a homo on Tomorrow show, a lawsuit follows.
    Chevy Chase may have been only kidding, but Cary Grant could wind up with the last laugh.
    The fuss started when Chase referred to Grant as a 'homo' and 'what a gal' on Tom Snyder's 'Tomorrow' TV show in 1980
    Chase claims it was said in jest. Grant didn't chuckle. He charged slander and sued for $10 million.
    At a pre-trial hearing a Los Angeles judge refused to dismiss the suit. No trial date was set. - the case was settled out of court

    NB* (The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) is a multilateral treaty that bans all nuclear tests, for both civilian and military purposes, in all environments.
    It was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 September 1996, but has not entered into force, as eight specific nations have not ratified the treaty.)
