State starts shedding ice coat across Arkansas
Arkansas faced a damaging ice storm with temperatures lingering in the 20s. Roads closed on Highway 70 and 71, power and communications lines failed, and travel was hazardous. Three deaths were linked to the weather, and cities like Little Rock and Fort Smith reported disrupted transit and outages. Schools closed, and beaver dam effects were noted on infrastructure as melts threaten floods.

Aquamarine Gift to Eleanor Roosevelt Sparks Tax Debate
In 1946 at a Gazaca lunch in Rio de Janeiro region, an aquamarine jewel said to have been given to Eleanor Roosevelt by Brazil's foreign minister Macedo Suarze circulated. An American official recalls the stone, valued around 40,000, later appearing in New York, with questions about title, duty, and possible presidential privilege. The tale blends diplomacy, wealth, and the Roosevelts' private conduct amid international intrigue.
