THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, August 19, 2011— Page 17
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, Aug. 19, the 231st day of 2011. There are 134 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 19, 1991, Soviet hard-liners made the stunning announcement that President Mikhail S. Gorbachev had been removed from power. On this date: In 1812, the USS Constitution defeated the British frigate Guerriere off Nova Scotia during the War of 1812. In 1909, the first automobile races were run at the just-opened Indianapolis Motor Speedway. In 1942, during World War II, about 6,000 Canadian and British soldiers launched a disastrous raid against the Germans at Dieppe, France, suffering more than 50-percent casualties. In 1951, the owner of the St. Louis Browns, Bill Veeck (vehk), sent in Eddie Gaedel, a 3-foot-7 midget, to pinch-hit in a game against Detroit. (In his only major league at-bat, Gaedel walked on four pitches and was replaced at first base by a pinch-runner.) In 1960, a tribunal in Moscow convicted American U2 pilot Francis Gary Powers of espionage. (Although sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment, Powers was returned to the United States in 1962 as part of a prisoner exchange.) In 1980, 301 people aboard a Saudi Arabian L-1011 died as the jetliner made a fiery emergency return to the Riyadh airport. In 1991,rioting erupted in the Brooklyn, N.Y., Crown Heights neighborhood after a black 7-year-old, Gavin Cato, was struck and killed by a Jewish driver from the ultraOrthodox Lubavitch community; three hours later, a gang of blacks fatally stabbed Yankel Rosenbaum, a rabinnical student. One year ago: The last American combat brigade exited Iraq, seven years and five months after the U.S.-led invasion began. Today’s Birthdays: Actor L.Q. Jones is 84. Actress Debra Paget is 78. Singer Johnny Nash is 71. Actress Jill St. John is 71. Rock singer Ian Gillan (Deep Purple) is 66. Former President Bill CLinton is 65. Tipper Gore, wife of former Vice President Al Gore, is 63.
