For a very long time, I associated my vague notions about 3/16/1991 with my vague notions about a professorship at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, all just vague notions that inexplicably formed in my mind at some point years ago

Ekran
From Wikipedia
Ekran (meaning "Screen") was a Soviet-Russian type of geostationary satellite, developed for a national system of Direct-To-Home television. The first satellite of Ekran series was launched on 26 October 1976. Each satellite in the Ekran series was designed to provide one TV and two radio program channels to cable TV systems throughout the USSR and to individual home receivers in northern Siberia.

Part 2 - Satellite TV in the Asia-Pacific Region
Section 4 is devoted to "BSS" systems; i.e., the comparatively small number of satellite TV broadcasting systems that use frequency bands allocated to the broadcasting-satellite service (BSS).
In 1976, the Soviet Union used this band to establish the first geostationary BSS system, Ekran.

3 Astronauts Grab Marooned Satellite in a Dramatic Rescue : Space: The manual capture is biggest step in an hours-long procedure to retrieve the craft. The crew is to bring it into the shuttle's cargo bay to attach a booster rocket.
May 14, 1992 ROBERT W. STEWART TIMES STAFF WRITER
Flight controllers at the Washington headquarters of the International Telecommunications Satellite Organization, the 122-nation consortium that owns and operates the $150-million satellite, later were able to stabilize it.
"The training was fine. My sense is that the tool did not work as designed, which would not be the first time," said former astronaut Joseph P. Allen, who was involved in a 1984 spacewalk and satellite rescue in which a tool intended to stabilize the errant PALAPA B-2 satellite did not work.
The Intelsat rescue marked the first time that astronauts used nothing but their hands to capture an orbiting satellite

September 1941
From Wikipedia
The following events occurred in September 1941:
September 26, 1941
The Congressional hearings on allegations of propaganda in American films adjourned with the intention to resume in January 1942. The media was almost universally critical of the attacks made on the film industry during the hearings, as the isolationist Senators who initiated the proceedings came across as anti-Semitic and more paranoid about Hollywood than any threat from Hitler.

FALSEHOOD' CRY' IN MOVIE HEARING; Willkie Accuses Senator Clark of Distorting His Remark on 'Campaign Oratory'
By Frederick R. Barkley
Sept. 26, 1941
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25 -- The Senate investigation into alleged war propaganda in the movies turned into a rough-and-tumble argument over foreign policy today, culminating in a shouted assertion from Wendell L. Willkie that Chairman Clark of Idaho had broadcast over the country "un qualified falsehoods" regarding his position in this matter.

Quotes
President Lanford: [rehearsing her speech] The countless lives that we lost in the war of '96 did not perish in vain. They inspired us to rise from the ashes as one people of one world. For 20 years the world has seen no armed conflict. Nations have put their petty differences aside. United, we rebuild our families, our cities, and our lives. The fusion of human and alien technology not only enable us to defy gravity and travel with unimaginable speed, it also made our planet finally safe again.

CHAPTER 24
Insofar as there was a god, it was Nature. From his office windows, he could see out over the plains of Kansas, the swaying young wheat… it was so beautiful. Almost enough to bring tears to his eyes. Nature. She could be cruel to individuals, but individuals didn't matter. Despite all the warnings, humankind hadn't learned that.
Well, learn it they would, the way Nature taught all Her lessons. The hard way.
