In 1789, Congress passed the First Judiciary Act,
which provided for an Attorney General and a
Supreme Court.
In 1869, thousands of businessmen were ruined in
a Wall Street panic after financiers Jay Gould and
James Fisk attempted to corner the gold market.
In 1929, Lt. James H. Doolittle guided a Consolidat
ed NY2 Biplane over Mitchel Field in New York in the
first all-instrument flight.
In 1960, the USS Enterprise, the first nuclear-pow
ered aircraft carrier, was launched at Newport News, Va.
Ten years ago: The U.S. House of Representatives
approved a budget package that even its supporters ad
mitted relied on accounting gimmicks to help meet the
government’s self-imposed deficit limit in fiscal 1987.
Five years ago: Kidnappers in Lebanon freed British
hostage Jack Mann after holding him captive for more
than two years. Children’s author Theodor Seuss
Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, died in La Jolla,
Calif., at age 87.
One year ago: Israel and the PLO agreed to sign a
pact at the White House ending nearly three decades of
Israeli occupation of West Bank cities. A 16-year-old boy
in Cuers, France, killed 13 people before turning a gun
on himself.
