On this day, 8 April 1986, Actor Clint Eastwood was elected mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
Eastwood won in a landslide victory, receiving 72.5 percent of the vote. And he did so without fanfare any paid
advertisements, just buttons and bumper stickers. Apparently, a few voters had already heard of him.

On this day, 10 April 1849, Walter Hunt of New York City patented the safety pin. Most of us still use the device which
comes in a variety of sizes and is quite handy to have around. Mr. Hunt, however, didn’t think so. He thought the
safety pin to be a temporary convenience and sold the patent for a total of $400.
