Today In History

"Today is Sunday, Jan. 23, the 23rd day of 2011.
There are 342 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History:
On Jan. 23, 1961, word reached the world that the Portuguese ocean liner Santa Maria, with some 600 passengers aboard, had been seized in the Caribbean by two dozen hijackers led by Henrique Galvao, an opponent of Portugal's leader, Antonio de Oliveira Salazar. (The drama ended on Feb. 2 with the surrender of the hijackers off Brazil.)"

Thought for Today:
"The trouble is that hardly anybody in America goes to bed angry at night."
— George J. Stigler, American economist (1911-1991).
