WASHINGTON (AP) — The remains of a sailor from Massachusetts
who died when the USS Oklahoma was struck by multiple torpedoes during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 are being buried
at Arlington National Cemetery on today.
The interment comes more than 80 years after the attack that drew
the U.S. into World War II and nearly four years after the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency announced that Electrician’s Mate
18 year old 3rd Class Roman W. Sadlowski, of Pittsfield, had
been accounted for using advanced DNA and anthropological
analysis, as well as circumstantial and material evidence.

The Susan B. Anthony dollar is a United States dollar coin minted from 1979
to 1981, when production was suspended due to poor public acceptance,
and then again in 1999. Intended as a replacement for the cumbersome
Eisenhower dollar, the new smaller one dollar coin went through testing
of several shapes and compositions, but all were opposed by the vending
machine industry, a powerful lobby affecting coin legislation. Finally, a
round planchet with an eleven-sided inner border was chosen for the
smaller dollar.
