1941 - The krauts sank the USS Reuben James in the Atlantic. 
Arguably it was the first hostile shot fired at a U.S. asset in World War II.
I can't get a clean link. Google Reuben James for yourself if interested.
1967 - Nguyen Van Thieu became president of South Vietnam.
A footnote to history now, the details of Vietnamese politics were on the front page in that era.
1984 - Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by two of her bodyguards.
