The greatest male that ever lived, Chuck Conners, died 25 years ago (71).
Dude played on the NY Yankees, the NY Knicks, and was the Rifleman, and quite dashing to boot.  We (males) should all be so lucky.

Astronomer Percival Lowell died on this day 101 years ago, aged 61.

It wouldn't be another 14 years until the "Planet X" he was looking for was discovered, and subsequently named Pluto.
