On this day in history:
In 1905, Orville Wright pilots the first flight longer than 30 minutes. The flight lasted 33 minutes, 17 seconds and covered 21 miles.
In 1927, Gutzon Borglum begins sculpting the heads of 4 US presidents on Mount Rushmore.
In 1976, in Gregg v. Georgia, the U.S. Supreme Court lifts the ban on the death sentence in murder cases. This restores the legality of capital punishment, which had not been practiced since 1967. The first execution following this ruling was Gary Gilmore in 1977.
Quote for today:
Miracles do not, in fact, break the laws of nature.
