On this day: November 7
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid die in Bolivia, Marie Curie wins her second Nobel Prize, FDR wins an unprecedented fourth term, Steve McQueen dies, and Magic Johnson announces he is HIV-positive, all on this day.
1972: U.S. President Richard M. Nixon is re-elected to a second term, easily defeating Democratic candidate U.S. Sen. George McGovern of South Dakota. Nixon earned 60.7 percent of the popular vote and 520 electoral votes compared to McGovern's 37.5 percent and 17 electoral votes. McGovern only won the electoral votes of Massachusetts and the District of Columbia.
