On January 10, 1967, during his State of the Union speech,
President Lyndon B. Johnson asked Congress for more
money to support the Vietnam War.

Lyndon’s War, a war he actually inherited from President
John F. Kennedy, had achieved nothing by 1967. The North
Vietnamese use of guerrilla warfare tactics resulted in
approximately 14,000 American troops killed in action by
early 1967.

On January 10, 1901, a drilling derrick at Spindletop Hill near
Beaumont, Texas, produced an enormous gusher of crude oil,
coating the landscape for hundreds of feet and signaling the
advent of the American oil industry.

The geyser was discovered at a depth of over 1,000 feet, flowed
at an initial rate of approximately 100,000 barrels a day and took
nine days to cap.

On January 9, 2007, Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs unveils the
iPhone—a touchscreen mobile phone with an iPod, camera

June 29, amidst huge hype, thousands of customers lined up

and an 8GB, $599 model, its invention of the year.
