Today is Saturday, April 8, the 98th day of 2017. There are 267 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On April 8, 1952, President Harry S. Truman seized the American steel industry to avert a nationwide strike. (The Supreme Court later ruled that Truman had overstepped his authority, opening the way for a seven-week strike by steelworkers.)
On this date:
In 1820, the Venus de Milo statue was discovered by a farmer on the Greek island of Milos.
In 1864, the United States Senate passed, 38-6, the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution abolishing slavery. (The House of Representatives passed it in Jan. 1865; the amendment was ratified and adopted in Dec. 1865.)
In 1904, Longacre Square in Manhattan was renamed Times Square after The New York Times.
In 1913, the 17th Amendment to the Constitution, providing for popular election of U.S. senators (as opposed to appointment by state legislatures), was ratified. President Woodrow Wilson became the first chief executive since John Adams to address Congress in person as he asked lawmakers to enact tariff reform.
In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Emergency Relief Appropriations Act, which provided money for programs such as the Works Progress Administration.
In 1946, the League of Nations assembled in Geneva for its final session.
In 1961, a suspected bomb exploded aboard the passenger liner MV Dara in the Persian Gulf, causing it to sink; 238 of the 819 people aboard were killed.
In 1973, artist Pablo Picasso died in Mougins (MOO'-zhun), France, at age 91.
In 1974, Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Braves hit his 715th career home run in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, breaking Babe Ruth's record.
In 1987, Al Campanis, vice president of player personnel for the Los Angeles Dodgers, resigned after saying on ABC's "Nightline" that blacks might lack some of the "necessities" for becoming baseball managers.

Ten years ago: Powerful Shiite (SHEE'-eyet) cleric Muqtada al-Sadr (mook-TAH'-duh al SAH'-dur) ordered his militiamen to redouble their battle to oust American forces from Iraq and called on the country's army and police to join him in defeating "your archenemy." Zach Johnson won the Masters with a two-shot victory over Tiger Woods.
Five years ago: A U.N.-brokered plan to stop the bloodshed in Syria effectively collapsed after President Bashar Assad's government raised new, last-minute demands that the country's largest rebel group swiftly rejected. The U.S. and Afghanistan signed a deal giving Afghans authority over raids of Afghan homes, resolving one of the most contentious issues between the two wartime allies. Bubba Watson saved par from the pine straw and won the Masters on the second hole of a playoff over Louis Oosthuizen (WUHST'-hy-zen).
One year ago: In a sweeping document on family life that opened a door to divorced and civilly remarried Catholics, Pope Francis insisted that church doctrine could not be the final word in answering tricky moral questions and that Catholics had to be guided by their own informed consciences. Bruce Springsteen canceled a scheduled concert in Greensboro, North Carolina, citing the state's new law blocking anti-discrimination rules covering the LGBT community. N.W.A. entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame during a ceremony at Brooklyn's Barclays Center with 1970s-era rock acts Cheap Trick, Chicago, Deep Purple and Steve Miller.

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF ARTURO FUENTE CIGARS STOLEN
In what sounds like the plot of a Hollywood movie, Arturo Fuente has had a 40-foot shipping container full of cigars stolen.
According to a statement from the company, which appears in full below, a shipping container was stolen en route to the company’s Tampa, Fla. warehouse on April 3, 2017. Carlos “Carlito” Fuente, Jr. said that the container contained hundreds of thousands of cigars, and the theft will cause more shortages of Fuente cigars this year.
Fuente says that the company will work to allocate cigars in a fair manner to all, and is asking for the patience of both retailers and consumers as they work through the shortage. He promises that the company will work diligently to recover from the theft but will not rush the production process or sacrifice the quality of the finished product.
Anyone with information about the theft or who is contacted by someone that is not an authorized Fuente sales representative is asked to contact the Miami-Dade Police Dept. at (305) 476-5423.
Karen Smith, vice president of The Fuente Companies, told halfwheel the container was filled with mostly Arturo Fuente product, though some J.C. Newman and Sosa cigars were all part of the theft.
