1978 Ohio State University fired Woody Hayes as its football coach, one day after Hayes punched a Clemson University player during a game.
2006 Former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was hanged.
2007 Kenya's President Mwai Kibaki was declared the winner of an election that opponents and observers alleged was rigged; violence flared in Nairobi slums and coastal resort towns, killing scores in the following days. Are we sure our election wasnt rigged this year?
