THURSDAY PRIME TIME
Today is Thursday, Feb. 7, the 38th day of 2013. There are 327 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 7, 1943, during World War II, the government abruptly announced that rationing of shoes made with leather would go into effect in two days, limiting consumers to buying three pairs per person per year. (Rationing was lifted in October 1945.) On this date: In 1795, the 11th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, dealing with states’ sovereign immunity, was ratified. In 1812, author Charles Dickens was born in Landport, Portsmouth, England. In 1904, a fire began in Baltimore that raged for about 30 hours and destroyed more than 1,500 buildings. In 1948, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower resigned as Army chief of staff; he was succeeded by Gen. Omar Bradley. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy imposed a full trade embargo on Cuba. In 1971, women in Switzerland gained the right to vote through a national referendum, 12 years after a previous attempt failed. In 1983, Elizabeth H. Dole was sworn in as the first female secretary of transportation by the first woman to sit on the Supreme Court, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. In 1984, space shuttle Challenger astronauts Bruce McCandless II and Robert L. Stewart went on the first untethered space walk, which lasted nearly six hours. In 1999, Jordan’s King Hussein died of cancer at age 63; he was succeeded by his eldest son, Abdullah. Ten years ago: The government raised its terror threat level from yellow to “high risk” orange, warning of a growing possibility that alQaida would launch an attack against the United States to coincide with Muslim holy days. President George W. Bush courted the leaders of France and China in an uphill struggle to win U.N. backing for war with Iraq. Unidentified attackers bombed the exclusive El Nogal social club in Bogota, Colombia, killing 36 people and injuring 160 others. Five years ago: John McCain effectively sealed the Republican presidential nomination as chief rival Mitt Romney suspended his campaign. Fourteen refinery workers were killed in a sugar dust explosion in Port Wentworth, Ga. A gunman opened fire at a Kirkwood, Mo., council meeting, killing three city officials and two police officers before being fatally shot by law enforcement. In Los Angeles, a man who claimed responsibility for the deaths of three relatives opened fire on a SWAT unit, killing one officer; the gunman was killed by a police sniper. One year ago: In a setback for Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum swept GOP caucuses in Minnesota and Colorado and a non-binding primary in Missouri. Today’s Birthdays: Former Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis., is 78. Comedy writer Robert Smigel (SMY’-guhl) is 53. Actor James Spader is 53. Country singer Garth Brooks is 51. Rock musician David Bryan (Bon Jovi) is 51. Actor-comedian Eddie Izzard is 51. Actor-comedian Chris Rock is 48.
