October 8th, 1871, deadly fires scorch 1 the upper Midwest. The great Chicago fire kills some 300 people, leaving 90,000 homeless in the Windy City, even deadlier the Peshtigo fire in Northeastern Wisconsin claims some 1,200-1,500 lives. Fires also broke out in three Michigan communities, Poland, Manistee and Port Huron.
1982, Poland’s government then under martial 2 law bans all labor 3 organizations, including the Solidarity 4 Trade Union. The Solidarity survives the crackdown, playing a key part in the fall of communism in Eastern Europe.
1970, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, author and dissident and what’s then the Soviet 5 Union, wins the Nobel Prize for Literature. His work chronicles life under the repression 6 and labor camps of Soviet dictator- Joseph Stalin.
And 1956, Don Larsen of the New York Yankees, pitches the only perfect game as well as a no-hitter at a World Series to date that gives Yankees a 2 to nothing shutout over the Brooklyn Dodgers 7 in game 5.
