MILITARY AID WAS INCREASED ON THIS DAY

Anonymous call to British paper, threats to US President: What JFK files reveal | World News ...

President John F. Kennedy decided to increase military aid to
South Vietnam without committing U.S. combat troops. He was concerned at the advances being made by the communist Viet 
Cong, but did not want to become involved in a land war in
Vietnam.

Kennedy hoped the military aid would be sufficient to strengthen
the Saigon government and its armed forces against the Viet
Cong. Ultimately it was not, and Kennedy ended up sending
additional support in the form of U.S. military advisors and
American helicopter units

FIRST STOCK TICKER ON THIS DAY IN 1867

The Edison & Unger Stock Ticker

On November 15, 1867, the first stock ticker was unveiled in New 
York City. The advent of the ticker ultimately revolutionized the
stock market by making up-to-the-minute prices available to
investors around the country.

Prior to this development, information from the New York Stock Exchange, which has been around since 1792, traveled by mail
or messenger.

The ticker was the brainchild of Edward Calahan (1838-1912) who configured a telegraph machine to print stock quotes on streams
of paper tape (the same paper tape later used in ticker-tape
parades).
