On this day: March 4
The U.S. Constitution goes into effect, FDR reassures the nation, John Lennon gets into a popularity contest with Jesus, and Martha Stewart gets out of prison, all on this day.
1908: Lake View School in Collinwood, Ohio, catches fire when a wooden joist in the floor is overheated by a steam pipe. The blaze kills 172 students, two teachers and a rescuer, making it one of the deadliest disasters of its type in the United States. The city of Collinwood has since been absorbed into the city of Cleveland.
