Mary Bono (R-Calif.) was born in Cleveland, Ohio.... 1945, with the midafternoon deposit by the Soviet Union of the 29th instrument of ratification, and the 4:50 p.m. attesting signature by U.S. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes in Washington, D.C., the Charter of the United Nations entered into force. The event marked a formation process begun with a 1942 declaration. On signing, a prescient Byrnes said that
