On This Date in 1986: The first group of inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame -- Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Fats Domino, James Brown, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke and the Everly Brothers -- is officially accepted.

The Almanac Advises for January 23: "Upon being presented to and taking leave of royalty, it is customary for men to bow and women to curtsy. Address royalty as 'Your Majesty' or 'Your Royal Highness' at first, and from then on as 'sir' or 'ma'am.' Speak only when spoken to."
