On this day: January 7
Galileo spots some of Jupiter's moons, the Harlem Globetrotters play their first game, Truman announces the development of the H-bomb, and President Clinton's impeachment trial begins, all on this day.
1973: A week after shooting and killing two police officers in an attack on the New Orleans Police Department, Mark Essex fatally shoots another seven people and wounds eight more at a Howard Johnson's Hotel. Using a military helicopter and snipers on nearby buildings, police are later able to shoot and kill Essex, who had taken cover in a concrete cubicle on top of the hotel's roof.
