Singer José Montserrate Feliciano García is 80 years
old today.

Senator Huey Long was shot and killed at the Louisiana State
Capitol in 1935 by Carl Weiss. Long’s bodyguards, nicknamed
the "Cossacks" or "skullcrushers", responded by firing at
Weiss with their own pistols, killing him; an autopsy found
that Weiss had been shot more than 60 times. 

Long, who was a prominent and controversial political figure,
was in the process of preparing a presidential bid when he
was assassinated.

Long  gave himself the nickname “Kingfish,” saying “I’m a
small fish here in Washington. But I’m the Kingfish to the
folks down in Louisiana.”

On September 6, 1901, President William McKinley was shaking
