Today is Wednesday, Feb. 11, the 42nd day of 2009. There are 323 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On Feb. 11, 1858, French teenager Bernadette Soubirous reported the first of 18 visions of a lady
dressed in white in a grotto near Lourdes.
(The Catholic Church later accepted that the visions were of the Virgin Mary.)
On this date:
In 1812, Massachusetts Gov. Elbridge Gerry signed a redistricting law favoring his party, giving rise to the term "gerrymandering."
In 1861, President-elect Abraham Lincoln departed Springfield, Ill., for Washington.
In 1909, heavyweight boxer Max Baer was born in Omaha, Neb.; Oscar-winning writer-producer-director Joseph L. Mankiewicz was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
In 1929, the Lateran Treaty was signed, with Italy recognizing the independence and sovereignty of Vatican City.
In 1937, a six-week-old sit-down strike against General Motors ended, with the company agreeing
to recognize the United Automobile Workers Union.
In 1945, President Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet leader Josef Stalin signed the Yalta Agreement during World War II.
In 1975, Margaret Thatcher was elected leader of Britain's opposition Conservative Party.
In 1979, followers of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini seized power in Iran.
In 1989, the Rev. Barbara C. Harris became the first woman consecrated as a bishop in the
Episcopal Church, in a ceremony held in Boston.
In 1990, South African black activist Nelson Mandela was freed after 27 years in captivity.
Ten years ago:
A federal jury in New York found several gun makers responsible in three area shootings for letting
guns fall into the hands of criminals and assessed damages; gun makers were found liable in six
other instances, but no monetary damages were awarded. (However, the plaintiffs suffered a set-
back in 2001 when the New York Court of Appeals invalidated such claims.)
Five years ago:
Wesley Clark dropped out of the race for the White House.
A car bomb at an army recruiting center in Baghdad, Iraq, killed 47 people.
Cable TV giant Comcast Corp. launched a hostile bid to buy The Walt Disney Co. for more
than $54 billion. (Comcast later dropped its bid).
One year ago:
The Defense Department charged Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and five other detainees at
Guantanamo Bay with murder and war crimes in connection with the Sept. 11 attacks.
(Charges against one were later dropped.)
Yahoo Inc. rejected Microsoft Corp.'s unsolicited takeover bid.
Tom Lantos, a 14-term California congressman who was a forceful voice for human rights,
died in Bethesda, Md., at age 80.

and the one thing that he can't afford to lose."
— Thomas Alva Edison
(born this day in 1847,
died in 1931).
