FAMOUS EVENTS
Cigar-roling machine patented by grandfather of lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II (1883).
Highest scoring game in basketball history played (1959).
Record $100K contract signed by Mickey Mantle (1963).
The Italian government announces that it is accepting suggestions on how to save the renowned Leaning Tower of Pisa from collapse. The top of the 180-foot tower was hanging 17 feet south of the base, and studies showed that the tilt was increasing by a fraction every year. Experts warned that the medieval building--one of Italy's top tourist attractions--was in serious danger of toppling in an earthquake or storm. Proposals to save the Leaning Tower arrived in Pisa from all over the world, but it was not until 1999 that successful restorative work began (1964).

In Washington, D.C., the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, providing for female suffrage, is unanimously declared constitutional by the eight members of the U.S. Supreme Court. The 19th Amendment, which stated that "the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of sex," was the product of over seven decades of meetings, petitions, and protests by women suffragists and their supporters (1922).
[*On the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, some 200 Sioux Native Americans, led by members of the American Indian Movement (AIM), occupy Wounded Knee, the sight of the infamous 1890 massacre of 300 Sioux by the U.S. Seventh Cavalry. The AIM members, some of them armed, took 11 residents of the historic Oglala Sioux settlement hostage as local authorities and federal agents descended on the reservation (1973).
Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover calls a conference to allocate radio wavelengths. Broadcast radio was just beginning to emerge as an entertainment medium in the early 1920s. Americans spent about $10 million on radio sets and parts in 1921. However, lack of regulation meant that some 500 stations were broadcasting on the same wavelength before the conference (1922).
Shirley Temple receives a new contract from 20th Century Fox that will pay the seven-year-old star $50,000 a film (1936).
