#1 Today in History - Jan. 6
By The Associated Press Thu Jan 5, 7:00 PM ET
Today is Friday, Jan. 6, the sixth day of 2006. There are 359 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On Jan. 6, 1412, according to tradition, Joan of Arc was born in Domremy.
On this date:
In 1540, England's King Henry VIII married his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves. (The marriage lasted about six months.)
In 1759, George Washington and Martha Dandridge Custis were married.
In 1838, Samuel Morse first publicly demonstrated his telegraph, in Morristown, N.J.
In 1912, New Mexico became the 47th state.
In 1919, the 26th president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, died in Oyster Bay, N.Y. at age 60.
In 1942, the Pan American Airways Pacific Clipper arrived in New York after making the first round-the-world trip by a commercial airplane.
In 1945, future president George Herbert Walker Bush married Barbara Pierce in Rye, N.Y.
In 1967, U.S. Marines and South Vietnamese troops launched Operation Deckhouse Five, an offensive in the Mekong River delta.

In 1993, jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie died in Englewood, N.J., at age 75; ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev died in Paris at age 54.
Ten years ago:
President Clinton, bowing to months of Republican demands, offered a seven-year balanced-budget plan using
Congressional Budget Office figures. Republican candidates kicked off the 1996 presidential campaign year by shadowboxing with absent front-runner Bob Dole at a televised debate in Columbia, S.C.
Five years ago: With the vanquished Vice President
Al Gore presiding, Congress formally certified George W. Bush the winner of the achingly close and bitterly contested 2000 presidential election.
One year ago: Attorney General-nominee Alberto Gonzales, under scorching criticism at his confirmation hearing, condemned torture as an interrogation tactic and promised to prosecute abusers of terror suspects. Congress certified
President Bush's re-election. Former Ku Klux Klan leader Edgar Ray Killen was arrested 41 years after three civil rights workers were slain in Mississippi. (Killen was later convicted of manslaughter.) Andrea Yates' murder conviction for drowning her children in the bathtub was overturned by a Texas appeals court.
