Each of the following events happened on March 26. Your challenge is to put them in the order in which they occurred by year, earliest to latest. Answers at the bottom!

• A) US medical researcher Dr. Jonas Salk announces on a national radio show that he successfully tested a vaccine against poliomyelitis, the virus that causes the crippling disease of polio. Salk conducted the first human trials on former polio patients as well as himself and his family. Salk’s vaccine would effectively eliminate polio as a disease.
• B) A cartoon in the Boston Gazette titled “The Gerry-Mander” introduces the term gerrymandering. It refers to Massachusetts Gov. Elbridge Gerry, who signed into law oddly shaped voting district boundaries to help the incumbent party.
• C) Police enter a mansion in Rancho Santa Fe, an exclusive suburb of San Diego, and discover 39 Heaven’s Gate cult members dead after a mass suicide. The cult’s leaders preached that such an act would allow them to enter an alien spacecraft hidden behind the Hale-Bopp comet.
• D) F. Scott Fitzgerald’s This Side of Paradise is published, immediately launching the 23-year-old to fame and fortune. Fitzgerald would go on to write many more short stories and novels, including The Great Gatsby.

Hint: Gov. Elbridge Gerry was one of the first to redraw district lines for political gain

Familia Morgan's 2019 Malbec Reserva is crafted with a hands-on process. By fermenting in French oak barrels with natural yeasts, it creates the kind of structure and complexity you'd expect from $150+ Bordeaux or cult Napa Cabs.

We just tasted and blended the 2025 microvinification production which has been in oak barrels for a year. Incredible! Will be bottled soon. In the meantime try our Reservas. We have 2019 and 2020 in stock.

High-altitude San Rafael vineyards. Hand-picked grapes. Limited production. $55/bottle, direct from the winery.

Smart wine buyers are paying attention.
