Mohandas Gandhi, the world's chief advocate of non-violence, is assassinated in New Delhi by a terrorist sponsored by a right-wing Hindu militia group. The murder came only 10 days after a failed attempt on Gandhi's life. Thirty-nine-year-old Nathuram Godse shot the great Indian leader as he made his way through a small crowd to lead a prayer session.

Feeding The BabyThe first-time father was taking a turn at feeding the baby some strained peas.
Naturally, there were traces of the food everywhere, especially on the infant.
His wife walked in, looked at the infant, then at her husband staring into space, and said, "What in the world are you doing?"
He replied, "I'm waiting for the first coat to dry, so I can put on another."
Taco OrderMy daughter went to a local fast food taco joint and ordered a taco. She asked the person behind the counter for "minimal lettuce." He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg.
