Today in history
By The Associated Press
Today is Wednesday, October 11, the 284th day of 1989. There arc
81 days left in the year.
Today’s highlight in history:
On Oct. 11, 1779, Polish nobleman Casimir Pulaski was killed
while fighting for American independence during the Revolutionary
War Battle of Savannah, Ga.
On this date:
In 1776, the first naval battle of Lake Champlain was fought during
the American Revolution. American forces led by Gen. Benedict
Arnold suffered heavy losses, but managed to stall the British.
In 1811, the first steam-powered ferryboat, the Juliana, was put into
operation by inventor John Stevens between New York City and
Hoboken, N.J.
In 1884, Eleanor Roosevelt was born in New York City.
In 1890, the Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in
Washington, D.C.
In 1932, the first political telecast in the United States took place as
the Democratic National Committee sponsored a program from a CBS
television studio in New York.
In 1958, the lunar probe Pioneer 1 was launched. It failed to go out
as far as planned, fell back to Earth, and burned up in the atmosphere.
In 1962, Pope John XXIII convened the first session of the Roman
Catholic Church’s 21st Ecumenical Council, also known as Vatican II.
In 1968, Apollo 7, the first manned Apollo mission, was launched
with astronauts Wally Schirra, Donn Fulton Eisele and R. Walter
Cunningham on board.
In 1975, the comedy-variety TV show “NBC Saturday Night”
made its debut with guest host George Carlin.
In 1982, after more than four centuries underwater, the English ship
Mary Rose was raised to the surface off Portsmouth, England.
In 1983, the last hand-cranked telephones in the United States went
out of service as 440 telephone customers in Bryant Pond, Me., were
switched over to direct-dial service.
In 1986, President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev
opened two days of talks in Reykjavik, Iceland.
Ten years ago: Allan McLeod Cormack and Godfrey Newbold
Hounsfield were named co-recipicnts of the Nobel Prize for Medicine
for their work in developing the CAT scanner.
Five years ago: Space shuttle Challenger astronaut Kathy Sullivan
became the first American woman to walk in space. Vice President
Bush and Democratic nominee Geraldine Ferraro met in the only vice-
presidential debate of the 1984 campaign.
One year ago: Violence began to subside in Algeria, where mass
rioting by youths had broken out a week earlier, prompting the
government to declare a state of siege.
Today’s birthdays: Choreographer Jerome Robbins is 71. Singer
Dottie West is 57. Singer-musician Daryl Hall is 41.
Thought for today: “Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.” -
Samuel Johnson, English lexicographer (1709-1784). (To which
Ambrose Bierce replied, "With all due respect to an enlightened but
inferior lexicographer, I beg to submit that it is the first.”)
