Almanac highlights 1966 events and space milestones
The almanac notes February 1, 1966 as a Tuesday with a 333 low and a sky showing Venus near the moon. It recalls New York City’s municipal court first, Edison’s West Orange studio, Autherine Lucy’s Alabama admission, a 95-death Ankara collision, Kipling quote, and the Simon Bolivar submarine launch firing a Polaris A3 past 2,000 miles in Atlantic waters, its 25th straight success.
