TIL that US president Cleveland developed a close relationship with his friend's baby daughter. When his friend died, a court appointed him to administer the estate, making him closer to the then 11 y.o. girl. When she graduated university at 21, Cleveland (49 y.o.) married her while President.

TIL of Kremlinology. During the Cold War, so little information was available about the USSR's government that Kremlinologists studied the order Soviet leaders appeared (or didn't appear) during parades, and the timing and spacing between them, to see who was powerful and who had lost influence.

TIL of the 'Radium Girls' who worked in a factory where they worked with luminescent radium. Not knowing it was dangerous, they oftenpainted it on their lips and teeth for fun. They began to develop radium necrosis, causing their jaws to rot and develop disfiguring tumors, and eventually died. (messynessychic.com)

TIL Before Chernobyl, the Soviets had another massive nuclear disaster which contaminated over 20,000 square km. The area was turned into a preserve to cover up the accident. The CIA knew of the accident, but also covered it up in order to protect the fledgling US nuclear industry from hysteria. (en.wikipedia.org)
