THE PORTLAND DAILY SUN, Tuesday, November 1, 2011— Page 11
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, Nov. 1, the 305th day of 2011. There are 60 days left in the year. This is All Saints Day. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 1, 1861, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln named Gen. George B. McClellan General-in-Chief of the Union armies, succeeding Winfield Scott. On this date: In 1512, Michelangelo finished Painting the ceiling of the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel. In 1765, the Stamp Act went into effect, prompting stiff resistance from American colonists. In 1936, in a speech in Milan, Italy, Benito Mussolini described the alliance between his country and Nazi Germany as an “axis” running between Rome and Berlin. In 1950, two Puerto Rican nationalists tried to force their way into Blair House in Washington, D.C., in a failed attempt to assassinate President Harry S. Truman. (One of the pair was killed, along with a White House police officer.) In 1952, the United States exploded the first hydrogen bomb, code-named “Ivy Mike,” at Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands. In 1968, the Motion Picture Association of America unveiled its new voluntary Film rating system: G for general, M for mature (later changed to GP, then PG), R for restricted and X (later changed to NC-17) for adults only. In 1979, former first lady Mamie Eisenhower died in Washington, D.C., at age 82. One year ago: Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong, 61, was convicted by a jury in Erie, Pa., of participating in a bizarre plot in which a pizza delivery driver was forced to rob a bank wearing a metal bomb collar that later exploded, killing him. The San Francisco Giants won the World Series with a 3-1 victory over the Texas Rangers in Game 5. Today’s Birthdays: Actress Betsy Palmer is 85. Country singer Bill Anderson is 74.
