On This Day: September 9

Kurt Heintz of Encyclopædia Britannica looks back on Mao Zedong's life on the anniversary of the Marxist revolutionary's death. Plus, the kind of Sandman who doesn't put you to sleep (unless you're one of those people who tends to doze off during a movie), Parisian nightlife with Toulouse-Lautrec, and Elvis Presley on the Ed Sullivan Show.
Host: Kurt Heintz.
