| | | | | 1985 - April: Encyclopedia II - Sam Walton - Biography Sam Walton was born to Thomas Gibson Walton and Nancy Lee Walton near Kingfisher, Oklahoma. There, he lived with his parents on their farm until 1923. Sam's father decided farming did not generate enough income on which to raise a family, so he decided to go back to a previous profession of a mortgage man. So he and his family (now with another son, James, born in 1921) moved from Oklahoma to Missouri. There they moved from one small town to another for several years. While attending 8th grade in Shelbina, Sam became the youngest Eagle Scout in the state's history. In adult life, Walton became a recipient of the Distinguished Eagle Sco ...

| | | | | 1985 - April: Encyclopedia II - David Irving - Revisionist In 1977, Irving released his most notorious book, Hitler’s War, the first of his two-part biography on Adolf Hitler. In it, Irving tried to describe the war from “Hitler’s point of view.” He painted a favorable picture of Hitler - as one would if describing it from Hitler's own view as Hitler saw himself to be supreme, so painting him in a negative light while doing it from his own point of view would be self sabotage - portraying him as a rational, intelligent politician, whose only goal was to increase Germany’s prosperity ...
