Today's film came out in 1984. It stars Sam Shepard, Scott Glenn, Ed Harris, Dennis Quaid, Fred Ward, Barbara Hershey, Kim Stanley, Veronica Cartwright, and Levon Helm.
We mark the anniversaries of the births of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Carrie Fisher, Domenichino, Mercy Amba Oduyoye, Volker Halbach, and Magellan discovering the Strait that would bear his name, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, forever altering humankind's trajectory.
