There are 155 days left in the year.Today's Highlight in History:On July 29, 1967, an accidental rocket launch on the deck of the supercarrier USS Forrestal in the Gulf of Tonkin resulted in a fire and explosions that killed 134 servicemen. (Among the survivors was future Arizona senator John McCain, a U.S. Navy lieutenant commander who narrowly escaped with his life.)On this date:In 1030, the patron saint of Norway, King Olaf II, was killed in battle.In 1588, the English attacked the Spanish Armada in the Battle of Gravelines, resulting in an English victory.In 1890, artist Vincent van Gogh, 37, died of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound in Auvers-sur-Oise, France.In 1914, transcontinental telephone service in the U.S. became operational with the first test conversation between New York and San Francisco. Massachusetts' Cape Cod Canal, offering a shortcut across the base of the peninsula, was officially opened to shipping traffic.In 1921, Adolf Hitler became the leader ("fuehrer") of the National Socialist German Workers Party.In 1948, Britain's King George VI opened the Olympic Games in London.In 1957, the International Atomic Energy Agency was established. Jack Paar made his debut as host of NBC's "Tonight Show."In 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act, creating NASA.In 1975, President Gerald R.

(However, the couple divorced in 1996.)In 1994, abortion opponent Paul Hill shot and killed Dr. John Bayard Britton and Britton's bodyguard, James H. Barrett, outside the Ladies Center clinic in Pensacola, Florida. (Hill was executed in September 2003.)In 2004, Sen. John Kerry accepted the Democratic presidential nomination at the party's convention in Boston with a military salute and the declaration: "I'm John Kerry and I'm reporting for duty."This finally serves a purpose now, I know what day it is.So increased pressure in keeping it up.
