(AP) — Today is Friday, Sept. 20, the 264th day of
1996. There are 102 days left in the year.
On this date:
In 1519, Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan
set out from Spain on a voyage to find a western pas
sage to the Spice Islands in Indonesia. Magellan was
killed en route, but one of his ships eventually circum
navigated the world.
In 1870, Italian troops took control of the Papal
States, leading to the unification of Italy.
In 1881, Chester A. Arthur was sworn in as the
21st president of the United States, succeeding
James A. Garfield, who had been assassinated.
In 1962, black student James Meredith was blocked
from enrolling at the University of Mississippi by Gov.
Ross R. Barnett. (Meredith was later admitted.)
In 1963, in a speech to the U.N. General Assem
bly, President Kennedy proposed a joint U.S.-Soviet
expedition to the moon.
In 1973, in their so-called “battle of the sexes,” tennis
star Billie Jean King defeated Bobby Riggs in straight
sets, 6-4, 6-3, 6-3, at the Houston Astrodome.
In 1976, Playboy magazine released an interview in
which Democratic presidential nominee Jimmy Carter
admitted he’d “looked on a lot of women with lust.”
One year ago: In a move that stunned Wall Street,
AT&T Corp. announced it was splitting into three compa
nies. The House voted to drop the national speed limit
and let states decide how fast people should drive.
