| | | | | 1949 - February: Encyclopedia II - Tank landing ship - Production LST 2 In three separate acts dated 6 February 1942, 26 May 1943, and 17 December 1943, Congress provided the authority for the construction of LSTs along with a host of other auxiliaries, destroyer escorts, and assorted landing craft.

| | | | | 1949 - February: Encyclopedia II - Penis removal - Involuntary penis removal assault There have been incidents in which men have been assaulted, usually by their girlfriends or wives, by having their penises severed.

| | | | | 1949 - February: Encyclopedia II - Albert Einstein - Personality Albert Einstein was much respected for his kind and friendly demeanor rooted in his pacifism. He was modest about his abilities, and had distinctive attitudes and fashions—for example, he minimized his wardrobe so that he would not need to waste time in deciding on what to wear.
