June 23 (UPI) -- On this date in history:
In 1901, Pablo Picasso's artwork had its first exhibition in Paris.
In 1908, former president Grover Cleveland died in Princeton, N.J., at the age of 71.
In 1948, Soviet forces blockaded the western zones of Berlin, setting the stage for the Berlin airlift to support the 2 million people of the divided German city.
In 1970, the Senate repealed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, named for the 1964 incident the U.S. government used to justify war against Vietnam. The resolution gave President Lyndon B. Johnson authorization for the war, but the vote was largely symbolic because the Nixon administration didn't use it for legal authority to be in Vietnam.
