Women End Boys Night Out In Biddeford 1886
In Biddeford during the summer of 1886 a group of husbands sought to prove they could enjoy evenings away from home while wives stayed in. They dined at Pillsbury's and Ferry Beach, then at Park House with meals paid by wives. One night the wives surprised the men by arriving to share the feast, leading to a humorous conclude that stag meals would not be repeated.

North Korea charges provocation as US forces ready
North Korea accused the United States of grave provocation after a tree cutting in the Panmunjom joint security area. U S forces moved to alert, with a naval task force approaching Korean waters and the DMZ remaining quiet. Captains Bonifas and Barrett, two American officers, were killed in a melee sparked by NK objections to trimming the tree.
