Today's Highlight in History:

On July 16, 1969, Apollo 11, carrying astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin Jr. and Michael Collins, blasted off from Cape Kennedy, Fla., on the first manned mission to the surface of the moon. Allegedly.

In 1862, David G. Farragut became the first rear admiral in the United States Navy. Probably how the gay rumor started.

In 1945, the United States exploded its first experimental atomic bomb, in the desert of Alamogordo, N.M. Allegedly.

In 1964, as he accepted the Republican presidential nomination in San Francisco, Barry M. Goldwater said "extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice" and that "moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue." He was right.

In 1973, during the Senate Watergate hearings, former White House aide Alexander P. Butterfield publicly revealed the existence of President Richard Nixon's secret taping system.

Not secret, just invisible
