On This Day On the morning of July 31, 1975, James Riddle Hoffa, one of the most influential American labor leaders of the 20th century, is officially reported missing after he failed to return home the previous night. Though he is popularly believed to have been the victim of a Mafia hit, conclusive evidence was never found and Hoffa’s fate remains a mystery. |

Word of the Day – Purport To purport is to claim to be or do a particular thing when this claim may not be true. // The report purports to be objective, but its bias is clear. |
