THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Thursday, March 17, 2011— Page 25
Today is Thursday, March 17, the 76th day of 2011. There are 289 days left in the year. This is St. Patrick’s Day. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 17, 1861, Victor Emmanuel II was proclaimed the fi rst king of a united Italy. On this date: In A.D. 461 (or A.D. 493, depending on sources), St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, died in Saul. In 1762, New York’s first St. Patrick’s Day parade took place. In 1776, British forces evacuated Boston during the Revolutionary War. In 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt fi rst likened crusading journalists to a man with “the muckrake in his hand” in a speech to the Gridiron Club in Washington. In 1910, the Camp Fire Girls organization was formed. (It was formally presented to the public on this date two years later.) The U.S. National Museum, a precursor to the National Museum of Natural History, opened in Washington, D.C. In 1941, the National Gallery of Art opened in Washington, D.C. In 1950, scientists at the University of California at Berkeley announced they had created a new radioactive element, “californium.” In 1966, a U.S. midget submarine located a missing hydrogen bomb which had fallen from an American bomber into the Mediterranean off Spain. In 1970, the United States cast its first veto in the U.N. Security Council. (The U.S. killed a resolution that would have condemned Britain for failure to use force to overthrow the white-ruled government of Rhodesia.) In 1992, 29 people were killed in the truck bombing of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina. One year ago: Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter became the fi rst state chief executive to sign a measure requiring his attorney general to sue Congress if it passed health reforms requiring residents to buy insurance.
