Today is Friday, May 15, the 135th day of 2009. There are 230 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On May 15, 1911, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the breakup of Standard Oil Co., ruling it was a monopoly in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act.

In 1930, registered nurse Ellen Church, the first airline stewardess, went on duty aboard an Oakland-to-Chicago flight operated by Boeing Air Transport (a forerunner of United Airlines).
In 1942, wartime gasoline rationing went into effect in 17 Eastern states, limiting sales to three gallons a week for nonessential vehicles.
In 1948, hours after declaring its independence, the new state of Israel was attacked by Transjordan, Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon.
In 1963, astronaut L. Gordon Cooper blasted off aboard Faith 7 on the final mission of the Project Mercury space program.
In 1969, Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas resigned amid a controversy over his past legal fees.
In 1972, George C. Wallace was shot by Arthur Bremer and left paralyzed while campaigning in Laurel, Md., for the Democratic presidential nomination.
In 1975, U.S. forces invaded the Cambodian island of Koh Tang and recaptured the American merchant ship Mayaguez. (All 40 crew members had already been released safely by Cambodia; some 40 U.S. servicemen were killed in the operation.)
Ten years ago:
Russian President Boris Yeltsin triumphed over his Communist foes, surviving an impeachment vote in the Russian parliament.
Charismatic won the Preakness, finishing 1 1/2 lengths ahead of Menifee.
Five years ago:
A 40-ton steel girder dropped from a freeway overpass construction site into morning traffic in Golden, Colo., crushing one car and killing a family of three.
Col. Robert Morgan, commander of the famed Memphis Belle B-17 bomber that flew combat missions over Europe during World War II, died in Asheville, N.C., at age 85.
Kentucky Derby winner Smarty Jones posted a record 11 1/2 length victory in the Preakness (however, the horse failed to win the Belmont Stakes).
One year ago:
President George W. Bush, addressing the Israeli Knesset, gently urged Mideast leaders to "make the hard choices necessary for peace" and condemned what he called "the false comfort of appeasement."
California's Supreme Court declared gay couples in the state could marry — a victory for the gay rights movement that was overturned by the passage of Proposition 8 the following November.
