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.
1974: People magazine is published for the first time. The premiere edition featured actress Mia Farrow, then starring in the movie "The Great Gatsby," on the cover and sold for 35 cents. The issue also featured stories on Gloria Vanderbilt, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, and the wives of U.S. Vietnam veterans who were missing in action.
